Pretty flowers

Decided to go with the second heat pump offer as long as everything is put in writing

Decided to have the surgery unless the neurosurgeon has something else in mind. Hope he gets back to me soon. Right now Dr Van is booking 6- 8 weeks out (still lucky. Krista would have to wait 8-10 years! Crazy!)

Visited the Aspect office yesterday. It's beautiful. Even tho I'll only work from the office one day a week, I'll be office sharing in a gorgeous office with a whole wall of windows. I'm a little nervous because I've essentially been housebound for months. I hate how I look!

Going to see Bonnie Rait Tuesday. Have had tickets forever. Normally I only go to things when I can sit on the aisle because of my size. By the time Deb and I decided to go, tickets were almost gone. We couldn't even get seats together. This all says how much I want to see her. One, risking a crowd and standing an uncertain amount of time, sitting squashed between people ( and probably getting dirty looks because I take up so much room) and not sitting with my friend. I hope I can do it all. I don't want to live this way anymore- afraid to go out because of my back and my size.

Sean (Bill's son) asked if we could talk today because he has concerns about Bill now that he's spent time with him. Neither of us feel great having these side conversations but it helps me to know that he will participate in his dad's health care at some point.
