And Now To Get Ready For Vacation (s)!

Now that my varicose vein surgery and our refinancing are both finally behind us, I can start getting ready for a fun month ahead!

First up, we head up to North Conway NH on Friday afternoon to spend the weekend with Phil & Sue; definitely on the agenda is taking the kids to Story Land, an institution of an amusement park up there. We stay until Monday and then take a day trip up to a water park in Maine, finally heading home Monday night.

The following Saturday we head to Stone Harbor NJ for a week of beach fun & where we will finally get to catch up with the Kaplan cousins after waaay too long!

We come back on Saturday the 19th in time for Alex & Miki and the Wray cousins to arrive in Boston on Tuesday the 21st for a week long stay in bean town!

So... Let a fun filled August begin!

Vein Surgery/Refinance Update

I went back to work today after being allowed to unwrap my legs yesterday (although I have to remain in a combination of compression stockings and spandex until I go back to the surgeon on Monday.) Work went pretty well, with only a small amount of hobbling.

In other news we close on our refinance tomorrow at 8am after nearly a two month process, whew! To celebrate both my birthday and the end of the refinance ordeal Anthony is babysitting tomorrow night so that we can go have dinner and some much needed sangria ;)

Ouch.

My varicose vein procedure this morning took three hours - twice as long as it should have - and was pronounced a '9.8' on the difficulty scale by the surgeon, due to the numerous difficulties he encountered. For my part I am just glad it's over, but I definitely have a few days of soreness ahead of me. Ouch.

Stocked

For my varicose vein surgery tomorrow - I think the recovery process will require lots of ice cream :)
