When the Universe Listens

Dear Universe,

Well, it turns out you were LISTENING when I complained to you about not making enough good things happen for me. You seem to have totally changed your tune. Good on ya.

I was very excited yesterday when Mini Gretchen showed up in the mail. She came on the same day as the mini project shell, which is sitting by the door waiting for me to dive in. I will do my part and clean off the dining room table to get this project going. I did go ahead and start a mini cat cross stitch pattern I found online for free. Of course, now I can't figure out where it came from, so I can't link to it, but it's easy and cute and will make nice wall art for the cat shelter.

I'm quite stunned by how much Mini Gretchen looks like Real Gretchen:

If she was walking and had her tail up and then turned around to look at me when I called her name, she'd be an exact copy. LOVE. (Now you just need to find me Webster and King. I know you can do it!)

And, my sweet Universe, you also threw me a bone yesterday regarding Kendrick the Kidney Stone. The nurse called to tell me that because there was no blood in my urine test, I don't have to have a CT scan. Apparently, Kendrick is quite happy in there and isn't causing any real problems. He may or may not come out on his own. Yes, it's true, Kendrick might stay in me FOREVER. Who knew? I'm sure he will make his way out one of these days though, so let's make sure it happens while I'm drunk or something, OK? So I don't feel it as much? Cool.

I also have to send you BIG THANKS for making my back hurt so much LESS. My PT is working, and I don't need to take the hydrocodone anymore, which is great because it's annoying to always be taking pills. Advil is doing the trick. Sure, the hydrocodone high is fun the first day and it works and all, but then it's just a pain in the a$$ (thankfully, I would make a horrible drug addict). Let's keep this whole LESS back pain thing going, shall we?

So basically, I'm having a good morning. I'd like it to stay that way. Let's have today be a Really Good Day, eh? I'm in!

Much Love,

Blondie Blonderson
