I know, I know, I need to update more. But with working my new schedule this week, and having 400 things to do, I haven't had much Internet time. Adding to the lack of Internet time is my laptop dying Wednesday. Technically the laptop itself is fine, it's the charger I'm having problems with. The computer doesn't recognize it's plugged into the wall, therefore my battery won't charge and I can't use my laptop anymore. I'm going to try and find a new AC adapter locally this weekend, and cross my fingers hoping that's what's wrong.
Off to bed.
That is all.

Hmmmm
I figured it was about time for a new post. So here it is...
The surgery went well. No major complications, and I was home by 3PM Thursday. I'm going back to work tomorrow, after a failed attempt at working yesterday. I went in, but came right home without clocking in. It was too early for me to go back, and I was still in a lot of pain even with pain meds. So I stayed home, and in bed, today. Quite nice, and it must have been just what I needed. I've not taken any pain meds today, and can walk upright just like the rest of the human race. Some of my steristrips came off today, and I'm not going to have many, if any, scars from this surgery. Woo me! Photos are below:
3 Days After Surgery:
Belly Button
Tummy 1
Tummy 2
Today, 6 Days After Surgery:
Incision above belly button
Belly Button
Incisions over liver
Incision below liver
In all, I have 5 incisions. The belly button one is the main incision, being about 1 and a quarter inches long, and I think it'll be the only one that may scar. The others are very small, and are mostly bruised and nothing else. Another week and you won't even be able to tell I had surgery.
Morgan and I were supposed to go to Fallingwater this weekend, but I'm not up for that kind of a roadtrip yet. Two surgeries in less than 3 months really put the screws to me, especially since I didn't have a chance to recover from one before having another. I was back to work 3.5 weeks after I had the baby, and today is the first day I've not had to leave the house since my gallbladder surgery.
Woo, we're moving in less than a month. I can't wait. Here are some videos of our new townhouse, taken the day after I had gallbladder surgery. See what I mean? No chance to recover from anything...

Make sure to watch them in order, or they won't make sense.
Over 1400 80's videos!! (Thanks, Mikey.)
My new work schedule begins Monday. While it will be nice not having to be at work until 1PM, it means I'm probably going to miss Bauhaus on Tuesday. I'll be able to make it to the concert, but I'll more than likely not arrive until after Bauhaus has played which really sucks. Yeah, seeing NIN will be cool, but I was ultra-excited about seeing Bauhaus. Oh well, I get off at 9:30PM, and doors are at 7PM. Hopefully, with the one opening act and the time in between set changes, I will get to see at least one Bauhaus song. Besides, we have lawn tickets, so it's not like I'll actually "see" anything. Now if we can figure out some way for the three of them (Barb, Kanon and Morgan) to find me when I arrive...
I need to clean Mr. Fish's bowl, but I don't have the energy.
Guess I'll go to bed. Morgan's been asleep since before 7PM and there's nothing to do anyway.
That is all.

Sick Again
Yay me, I had to call off again today. This isn't good. Now I'm all paranoid I'm going to get fired, when I know I won't. It's a good thing I'm having the gallbladder surgery Thursday since apparently it's acting up more and more. Bah.
Such a crappy post, I know, but I really don't feel like typing anymore. Besides, my quarterly visit to the potty is coming up soon.

Naked Fat Man Ass
As the title proclaims, I was subjected to naked fat man ass. Morgan and I went to Super Summit yesterday, and we needed cash for the food vendors. We went inside to the ATM, and after I went potty, we were walking outside. Next to the entrance is the sales desk, where customers can get advice on what part(s) they need. A huge man was leaning on the desk, with his shirt hiked up in the back. There it was, the largest fat man ass I'd ever seen. I'm talking 3/4 of this guy's ass was visible, and he had to have known. Everyone was walking by giggling, and I wanted to tell the guy, but how would I have said something? "Excuse me fat man, but your icky ass is offending the customers." Yeah, I'm sure it would have went over well. I'm still traumatized.
Super Summit was OK. Really it wasn't anything more than a huge car show, and there weren't really any great cars anyway. The weather was crappy in the morning, so I'm sure that had something to do with it, but I wasn't impressed. The best part was the bucket of fries, followed closely by the cool stickers and Flowmaster key chain. It's a good thing admission and parking is free, or I'd have been pretty pissed off. Morgan and I arrived about 2:45PM and left before 4:30PM.
Stan Hywet is on Father's Day, which sucks because I'm having surgery 3 days prior. I seriously doubt I'll be in any shape to walk around a car show, but maybe I'll surprise myself.
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, Morgan and I are moving July 15. We found a townhouse in Jackson Township. It's really freaking nice, and so huge! 1680 square feet, with 2 bedrooms, a half-bath downstairs, full bath upstairs, dining room, living room, kitchen and a full basement. We'll have a washer/dryer, dishwasher, garbage disposal, central air and a carport. We have a garage here, but have to pay extra, and it's pretty useless. Additional parking is in front of our unit, which will rule. I so can't wait to move! Oh, we'll have a patio too, and there's a neighbor dog (Golden Retriever) as well. LOL We'll get a cat once we've moved everything in, and are settled.
On the way from Super Summit, and on our way to the Wink's show in Barberton, we drove past the Goodyear blimp base (right click, save as; it's a video.) This is the original blimp base, and is now a research facility for Lockheed Martin, who partners with NASA and the government. It recently caught on fire, but, as you can see, it's still intact.
Once in Barberton, I took a picture of the giant Reiter Dairy cow.
Morgan and I were supposed to see the new X-Men movie today, but it looks like he's going to sleep all day instead. I need to run to UPS and get a shipping estimate for a few things I have on eBay, then zip to the post office to mail a few things. Why am I always at the post office or UPS?
Last weekend we were even more busy than this weekend. Saturday I had a haircut, then Morgan and I went to Ohio Auto Supply to buy detailing stuff. We then buzzed to Parma so Morgan could wax Mark's T/A, and so we could buy the 4th Gen seats for my car, along with the black GTA rear rims. As payment for Morgan detailing the T/A, Mark gave me the grid tail lights for the Birdy, and the new grey door sills. Woo! Sunday we had the Arby's car show, took my Mom out for ice cream and Morgan rescued a snapping turtle. He and I were going to Summit to buy some stuff, and on the way a small turtle was trying to cross the road. By the time we'd turned around to rescue him, someone had run him over. About 3 miles from Summit we came across a huge snapping turtle trying to cross the road. We turned around and were able to keep this one from getting squished. Yes, we rescue turtles. Stop laughing. Monday found us going to Parma again so I could take advantage of Torrid's half-off clearance sale. After the mall I met up with an old friend from school, and he and I hung out for an hour or so. He's moving to New Jersey in a week and a half, though, so we won't get to hang out anymore. On the way home Morgan and I stopped at Z28 Jeff's house. We drove the LT1 woody wagon, and were amazed by how quick it is. Yes, a woody wagon is freakishly fast with the LT1 engine.
I started taking calls Tuesday at work. They had us on the phones earlier than usual because of Super Summit. I took around 40 calls in 3 days with no overtly hostile callers! It's nowhere near as complex as I thought, and I'm sure I'll do fine.
OK, I think everything is updated now.
That is all.

Patio
I suck at taking photos. There aren't any of the basement, because it's a basic basement. Cement floor with cement block walls, everything painted grey. The place is much larger than the photos depict, and I didn't even take any photos of the second bedroom. I'm so lame.
That is all.

Such A Horrible Blogger
I am the worst blogger ever, I know. I just realized I've been awake for 20 hours, which could be why I'm so freaking tired. I need sleep, then I'll make time for a post tomorrow. Most likely while I'm at the laundromat washing the comforter, and the clothes we've dirtied since Wednesday. We go through clothes like crazy, plus 2 towels every day. I bought a ton of new towels so we can make it through the week, and now we're up to almost being able to go 2 weeks without my washing towels.
It's official. Morgan and I are moving July 15th to a townhouse in Jackson Township. It's 1680 square feet, and we'll have a washer/dryer in our basement. Yes, that's right, IN OUR BASEMENT. I'm too excited, I know.
Woo, my gallbladder surgery is a week and a half away. I can't wait.
Anyway, I'll post more tomorrow.
That is all.

Still Alive
Yes, I'm still living. Been super busy, with no time to do anything other than sleep, work and eat once in a while. I'll post a huge blog later this weekend. Promise. : )
That is all.
