It’s a sad day when one starts out having to pray for the innocent people who suffered and the two who died during yesterday’s bombing at the Boston Marathon. I lived outside of Boston for a few years, so I am really familiar with the area. Two of my eye surgeries were done at Tufts New England Medical Center, where they brought some of the injured.
One of those killed was an eight year old child. Out to watch the race with family. Now life, cut short. Heart breakingly short.

Getting back to the struggles of my usual life after the warm and wonderful wedding is like being slapped by a cold fish.
When we arrived home on Saturday night, I raced to my laptop to download pictures from my camera, so I could send them to my sister.
But when I turned things on…nothing. By this I mean that we had no Internet service. Now, our router is dying and will be replaced soon, but this was different. Me, and every other Metrocast subscriber had no service. It seems some drunk, on their way home from a bar, had hit a phone pole and taken down all the wires, and my Internet service!
Now, I am as sympathetic as any other person will be when some one has an accident, just not a drunk driving accident, and I am equally unsympathetic when said drunk driving accident interrupts my Internet service!
An hour later, service is restored and my pictures are quickly uploaded to Facebook, where my entire family can enjoy them.
On Sunday night I fell asleep early and was in a deep REM sleep dreaming when I moved my arms around and smacked myself in the nose. Needless to say I woke up instantly and have been in pain ever since.
I can, however, happily report that my nose graft looks very healthy and pink. I think the skin is actually firmly rooted on my nose and growing there
As I mentioned, the router is dying, and on Monday I had to have my service provider help me revive it, yet again. I am hopeful that the new one I ordered will arrive within a week and then my cousin will come up with his girlfriend for a weekend of visiting, computers and cooking.
Hubby and I have decided that tomorrow will be shopping day. We will go and stock up for the next few weeks. After all, a week from today I have the next part of my surgery and become a normal looking person again!
Yay! Just one more week!!!
Thinking and praying for all of those killed and injured and their families in Boston. It is just horrible.
I can’t wait for you to have your surgery, one more step to looking better and feeling better. Love YOU, Mel
It is a sad day…so much evil in this world.
I’m glad you enjoyed the wedding weekend, and your surgery is almost here. I know you’ll be glad to have that behind you. Take care.
When I heard a child was killed, I couldn’t help but think of all the places we bring Ralphy to…sigh…
