Over on Michelle's thread I posted a photo of the bear I got out to "bear witness" so to speak. :)

I de-cluttered the small camera, made a backup of the entire disk and added some more files from the computer to fill up the CD. I don't do this often enough.

Rearranging some shelves in my office, and going back and forth to the sun room for more organizing. This morning I missed putting my trash out before the trash guys came by, but they have this odd pattern where they turn left up the street that meets my street right after my house. They hadn't picked up trash next door yet, they get that after they comt back down the hill. So I carried that ugly lamp (cheap from Home Depot or Lowes) and the kitchen trash over and left it next door. And I put her paper inside her front stoop while I was at it--she emailed to ask if it was me--said that was the nicest surprise she has had in a long time. I think I need to invite her over more often. She clearly needs to get out!

I think we'll all kind of worry about Michelle over the next day or two. Even though she'll be fine, to paraphrase the song, "waking up is hard to do" after major surgery.

Susan, do you think her spouse would log on and give us a thumbs up? I don't know if you are able to, what with the pastoral relationship and all, but I hope someone will let us know she's doing okay. Or if you could PM me a phone number for her hospital and room (and, uh, her last name--seems silly we've been talking all of this time and still don't have some of those particulars!) and I'll call.
