My plans are to clean the hell out of my apartment between now and 11:00 Thanksgiving morning, then drive down to Dad's for the big meal at 1:00 and then to pick up Mom at Midway around 5:00. Dad called to see what he can provide for me, and I just told him to give me raw veggies and a salad, and I'll be okay.
I took a half-day PTO today so I could have my pre-op appointment with my primary care doctor, after which I went to IKEA and finally got the chair bed for Mom to sleep on. It's still in the trunk, because I also stopped by the pet store for Amarna's supplies and then at Walgreens for the beta-blocker the doctor prescribed to bring down my BP for my surgery. I brought up the cat stuff, but just have to schlep back down tonight and get the IKEA stuff out of the trunk (I use my wheely computer chair to transport heavy boxes like the chair frame).
Tomorrow morning, I have to head over the clinic at the hospital for one last blood draw before work, and then get things wrapped up there before heading home and finishing off my cleaning.
The only reason I'm online right now instead of cleaning is that I'm actually about an hour ahead of schedule (IKEA was a lot faster to get in and out of than I thought it'd be), so I'm relaxing--I'm really tired!!
