Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Carpal tunnel surgery is tomorrow morning at 8:15 -- I have to be there at 6:45, which means getting up around 5, which is not my favorite of the a.m. times. But then it'll be over and done with and I should be home before noon and can nap the afternoon away.

I know that the pins-and-needles feeling won't go away immediately, because the nerves need to re-grow, but still, I can't wait to have feeling in my hand again.

They are not chopping your hand off and replacing it with an evil one.

At best you'll have a mildly irritated hand.

I wonder what mischief Steph's evil hand will get up to first. I mean an editor with an evil hand... things could get super fun super fast. Muah-ha-ha.

Hash browns from the McDonald's drive-thru. I don't think I'd had those in 10-15 years, and they were SO good.

I'm all done and back home and I gotta nap, because 5 a.m. is too early of an a.m. for me.

A worthy after-surgery treat! Quick recovery~ma.
