Miranda had her surgery this past Wednesday. It went very well. She did much better than I expected her to. She usually has a low pain tolerance and so I thought for sure she would be in a lot more pain afterward than she was. I'm sure glad she got through it all o.k. Now she will have her jaws banded shut for several weeks and absolutely no chewing at all for at least six weeks. She was having to use a syringe to get her liquids but graduated to a straw on Sunday.

I had a rough week of sinus and ear infections. I'm better now except for one of my ears still feels like it is full of cotton and has a loud ringing that is about to drive me crazy. I never had an ear infection in my life so getting one now at my age seems silly.

The facilitators and union stewards at work are having to take leadership classes. I haven't minded them to much (except for having to shift my hours around so much) because they've been very interesting and I've learned a lot. I ran across this quote in the handbook and thought it was a great one so I'm going to share it.

If a man is called to be a street sweeper,
he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,
or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry.

He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.
Martin Luther King Jr.

I hope what ever job your doing today your giving it your best. Hugs.
