I wake up to this every morning. My ceiling is alive with lakewater reflecting through my blinds. If I ever disappear, suspect that Scottie beamed me up. #reflections #waterreflection #shadows #funthingsisee #ceilinglight #ceilingart #sunbeams

More than one way to cut the grass. Using scissors to save the gas. And get a workout. Don’t want to keep rhyming that. #tallweedsinthegrass #don’tneedaperfectlawn #weedsareplantstoo #noneedtomow #lawnismowed #saveongas #yardworkisaworkout #midlifeblogger #midlifeworkout #don’tsweatthesmallstuff

So I had a little cardiac ablation this morning and am doing well after wrestling the sheets, taking long nap while having my heart go absolutely wild on purpose and have areas get frozen, waking up to a throat clearing festival and lying flat for four hours under threat of starting the four hours over if I moved, and eating a fabulous lunch. Haven’t talked to the doc yet but all seems pretty sweet because I came back! Yay. Thanks for the prayers. Also check out the last picture and you’ll see we have a family pose at windows. A curious bunch. Don’t know who taught who. #afibawareness #aflutterablation #svtablation #thankfulforanethesiologists #goodtobealive #cardiacablation #thankyounursesanddoctors #thankfulfordoctors #irregularheartbeat #lifestoriesandbeyondbook #justbecauseiusedtocouldbook
