My neighbor (and friend) will be slow roasting this chicken at 200 degrees from now until dinner time. Stuffed with herbs from the communal kitchen garden. 

Hoping to be able to provide an “after” pic! :)

I’ve been taking my time picking one of M’s photos to have blown up BIG for my Brooklyn cottage. Every few weeks I see one and I think OK, THIS IS IT!  Like, this one, this one and this one.
But, really, this time, THIS IS IT!

I got discharged today! I feel fine, and so far I have sailed through this thing.

 I just wanted to show this pic of my mom and me because I love it so much.

My little Brooklyn cottage is up on Apartment Therapy’s Small, Cool 2012 contest! If you want to see more pictures of it, please go to the contest page. And if you like it, perhaps you might click on the “favorite” button.
And I can’t help but say it: Every vote counts. I was in it two years ago and lost by 8 votes.

This is my 1000th post on tumblr. I’m using it to tell you what is going on with me.

Today I’m on a clear liquid diet (yeah, Jello!) in preparation for major surgery tomorrow, April 20th. The surgery is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. and lasts 3 to 4 hours.

People always say, “please tell me if there’s anything I can do,” and actually, there is something. I would like to ask folks to keep me in their thoughts, send me some focused good energy, light, prayers; whatever you feel like doing, and that will help me feel safe and cared for when they wheel me into surgery. 

I’m feeling fine, and ready to go.
