Awesome day is awesome!

SO! I get to have my eye surgery this morning to tighten the muscle in my crazy wandering eye. I am SO FREAKING EXCITED about this. My surgery isn't scheduled until 10:45 (and that's just the check in), so I was told not to have anything to eat or drink after 5:30 this morning. I woke at five and took my vitamins and had a nice long drink. It's only 6:30 now, and I'm already thirsty. I've been drinking about three liters of water a day for the past few weeks, so this might be a bit of a trial to not be able to drink anything until this afternoon. Ah well. I'm going in to work for a couple of hours, so hopefully that'll keep my mind off my thirst.

This morning on my walk with the dog, I saw many awesome things! The neighbors have a big organ pipe cactus in their front yard that is flowering. The saguaro, ocotillo, cholla and prickly pear have been blooming, too! It's gorgeous! There was a confused woodpecker pecking at the air conditioning unit on a house on my block, and it was making an unholy clanking sound--it made me wonder if it was waking the people who lived inside. It's a really gorgeous morning.

I know that I'm a bit old for this, but I could not resist buying myself an awesome lunchbox! It's a panda! Technically it's a two-tiered bento box, but that doesn't matter!

Finally, it is spirit week at school. Today is Hat Day, and so I am wearing Rasta cap, because I couldn't find my very awesome rhinestoned skull and crossbones "dead men tell no tales" hat from Disneyland. My son is wearing his horned viking helmet.

I fully expect today to be a good one! I hope everyone else's proves to be just as good!
