Recovery...or laziness?
My post-op paperwork tells me I can resume my normal activities today, and I'm like, no thanks. I normally begin my day with a few hours of roping steers followed by a little light dog sledding. I think instead I'll watch some movies. I did make a run to the grocery store to pick up supplies for tomorrow's baby shower. In the checkout line I was surrounded by no fewer than three pregnant women. Help! Plus, the cashier naturally enough asked me why I was buying a shitload of flowers. For some reason I told her the truth, and was treated to a gushing report on her sister's new baby and blah blah blah. I only shed a couple of tears when I got outside, so I think I'm going to make it through tomorrow. I'd say that while my heart is not 100% in it, I'm perhaps 70% enthusiastic, and with some fakin' and drinkin', can get up to 82.65 % happy for my best friend. Very big of me, huh? After I've had a rest, I will proceed to get my bake on. I'm thinking chocolate sour cream tears-of-the-infertile cupcakes with meyer lemon cream cheese icing.

you're hilarious. I think 82.65% happy is pretty much awesome and you're a great best friend for throwing her a shower.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the baby shower tomorrow, I'll be thinking of ya.
I wouldn't go near one this weekend if someone paid me 100k. Okay, maybe for 100k, but that's probably the only situation.
Seriously.
I hear tears-of-the-infertile are quite the delicacy. I think 82.65% is just about as altruistic and heartfelt as an infertile girl can get, especially after a lap. YOU ARE A VERY GOOD FRIEND. :) Good luck tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteDamn, those sound like good cupcakes :).
ReplyDeleteI hope the baby shower goes well! I'd be dreading the crap out of that, especially so soon after a lap.
And take all of the time you need to recover - only a MAN would set the recovery period post-lap as 3 days. Insane. With each of my surgeries, it took longer and longer for me to recover, and I always had to go back to work before I was ready. Your body will heal faster with more rest!
I hope you had some nice chill-time today. I'm planning on relaxing (being lazy) this weekend. I'll be thinking about you and I hope the shower goes well. You're a freakin awesome friend for doing this! 82.65 is a shit load higher than my happiness would be. Take a shot for me! =) (for real)
ReplyDeleteVodka will do wonders. Good luck at the shower. Hopefully you'll be too busy hosting to feel any pain.
ReplyDeleteGood luck...I know it's hard to be/act happy for the preggies. Those cupcakes sound divine! Hopefully they will distract you temporarily from the shitty stuff.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, bunny...eat lots o'cupcakes!
