T minus 2 days

It's late Monday night. Just finished watching Battle: Los Angeles. LOVED IT! Michelle Rodriguez is one kick ass action chick. She's fun! My boss was back in to work today. He was in a bicycling accident a little over a week ago. The concussion is what kept him out last week. So, I met with him. Gave him a status of my projects so anyone could come and pick up where I leave off. 

I've been testing one of my projects and getting ready to move my code to the standard programs. It was funny today. My Analyst asked me why I wasn't going to incorporate one bit of code. I looked at her and said, "I'm going for surgery in two days. My mind is on a few things right now, and I don't want to make any unnecessary mistakes." It must have been the way I looked when I said that. She just looked at me and said okay. One of the very few times I've gotten my way at the 10th hour. 

But at the same time, it was illuminating. She shared a story where she was in a similar situation - surgery not knowing what the end result would be. And the end result was GOOD! So, that is what I keep focusing on. Dr. Berrey said the majority of what he extracts is not cancer. And that is what I'm praying for. This is my swift kick in the pants. A taste of my mortality to get my butt in gear and whip my life into shape. For myself and for those around me. I've been wallowing in a pool of self-pity and now it's time to get out.

So, c'mon whatever you are - the pearl in my oyster of a knee. You're irritating me and I'm gonna get you out!
