lupus...tumor...lupus...tumor...

...sometimes it's hard to figure out which one to worry about.

Since I have surgery scheduled in 2-1/2 weeks (gulp!), I suppose the tumor will have to take precedence. Or I could just ignore both things and spend all day surfing the web or staring mindlessly at Facebook...

But not when there is an almost-4-year-old running around the house! No rest for the chronically-ill-who-also-happen-to-have-a-brain-tumor!

This afternoon we decided to make a trip to the mall (a fairly rare occurrence due to our dearth of moola). The trip was a bust due to small child experiencing terror when presented with the Automatically Flushing Potty! So, quick stop into the Lego Store and home we went. Sigh.

But at least I am well enough to be attempting such an ambitious trip. This weekend we will be attending my husband's work picnic. Thinking back the past two years, last year I was too ill to attend, and the year before I hopped from shady spot to shady spot because being in the sun made me sick (love ya lupus!).

So that's pretty much what's going on. Working hard at scheduling enough help for after the surgery, and dealing with the complication of the surgery being in NYC (about an hour's drive from home). We have lots of family, friends and neighbors who are happy to help out, thank goodness, so at least that's one less thing to worry about.

Off to put the boy to bed. G'night.
