I think I've gotten past the "tripping balls" part of the lead up to my surgery. I'm going to feel like shit but I'll be okay. I spent a lot of thoughts last week on being concerned about spending a few days in the hospital (depending on how things go and what time my slot is on Thursday it's really only 48 hours) and then the aftermath of recovery.
But I'm good now, I think. I'm not stressing over it, not that I was before, but I imagine there's going to be about a week where I don't know what the hell is going on, what time it is, what day it is, etc. Hell, that's me on a NORMAL day, let alone one when I'm sleeping all the time and on pain meds.

Gracie's getting shaved on Tuesday FINALLY. I don't think I could handle her globs of fur that are falling out once I won't be able to run the vacuum cleaner. I'm going to clean her litter box and food stuff, clean the bathroom and go through stuff here in the next few days to make it as easy as possible on myself and my mom in the next couple of weeks. I don't expect my mom to vacuum for me or clean my toilet but she's going to be scooping Gracie's poop and feeding her for the first little while so setting things up as easily as possible is key.

Took my mom for a meal and gave her a card for Mother's Day, fine and dandy. Nothing over the top. The my aunt and uncle stopped by to visit to see me before my surgery but I was asleep in my chair and not up for my aunt's very inquisitive nature. She means well but she wants to know everything about everyone. It's just her way. And not maliciously or anything, she's just that kind of person. If you just met her in ten minutes she'd likely know about your family, what you do, what you like about your job, etc. She was talking about coming to visit me on Thursday in the hospital but I was like, "seriously, don't". I can't imagine I'm going to want to see anyone on Thursday, if I'm even aware of anything that day.

Saw CA:CW yesterday. There was a lot of information to process but I really liked how well it pulled everything together from the past few years and advanced certain characters and relationships as a whole. 3D is unnecessary for it, however, and I increasingly find myself frustrated by how the glasses you have to wear make the picture a bit darker. I'd prefer 2D and no glasses, just bright colours.
I was surprised and irritated to see a commercial for some gaming thing in our trailers. Commercials before movies have become common place, of course, but with the chain we go to (Cineplex Cinemas, Canadian) they have the pre-show, the lights dim and there's a few minutes of commercials from the phone companies and a car company or two (which has also been a point of interest to me in the past few months as they've had ads for Accura, I believe, and Lexus. I'm not sure how affordable Accuras are but I know a Lexus is a higher-end brand. Which makes me question the thought-process behind putting these commercials before movies. Movies have become more costly, yes, but it's still one of the more affordable forms of entertainment for a lot of people--people who can't necessarily afford a regular car, let alone a Lexus. So is it the idea that they have a captive audience there to watch their commercial who have no other choice and, at the risk of being a complete asshole, have put their telecommunication distraction devices away? I've also seem similar commercials before on the TVs on Westjet flights, not sure what the brand was, though. That's another situation where the company has an absolutely captive audience--almost literally).
Um, where was I? Right. So the commercials come before the trailers. Then there's a definitive moment between where the commercials end and the trailers begin but our second trailer was an ad for some gaming thing Cineplex is doing (an INTERACTIVE experience) so while I understand WHY it didn't make me hate it any less.

I didn't post anything for mmom yesterday because I was trying to get some submissions for comms done before I left for the movie and I knew I wouldn't be back in time before deadline. Once I got home I was too tired to come up with anything. Might be the same thing tonight. :( I was really looking forward to this month to get back into writing as I've been thrown off a bit and focused more on icons of late and also to help reach my goal of writing 150k this year that I signed up for at getyourwordsout.
I've been so focused on posting my mmom every day that I haven't had time to think about my days and say something about what's been going on so please excuse this word dump of non-consequence. But it feels good to get it out of my head.
