Thursday Thirteen #10

Thirteen Things about Bellezza

Thirteen reasons I am glad I'm having foot surgery on Monday:
1. I only have to dread it for four more days.
2. This time, I'm trusting my feet won't hurt any more once they're healed (as opposed to the same surgery done in 1973 which only made things worse).
3. I've never had a $15,000 pedicure before.
4. With Vicodan.
5. I have eight weeks off of work.
6. I won't have to go to the obligatory Christmas party at my principal's house with a bunch of spouses I don't know, and a bunch of drunk teachers I do.
7. We've hired a cleaning service, so I'm not planning on getting mobile any time soon.
8. I won't have to cook, or do the dishes, or fight traffic, or run errands for a long time.
9. People will come visit me...
10. with dinner...
11. or Starbucks' Peppermint Mocha lattes.
12. I have a huge, ginormous, towering stack of books in my house that I'm going to put a serious dent in.
13. Here is one more opportunity to see the Lord turn something bad into something good.

8 weeks off work ~ wow!! Now if only you could get that without the hospital visit!!

booklogged said...

Wow, Bellezza, you are doing a number on this obstacle. I hope you will keep that house cleaning service forever. That's a dream of mine.

All good humored kidding aside, I hope the surgery goes well, the recovery is quick and, when it's all over, you are pain free. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

It's so wonderful that you can find so many positives in what probably won't be much fun for you -- you're truly living the Lord's command to be thankful in all things. I hope everything goes well with your surgery and that your recovery is a speedy one! :)

My TT is up, too.

Laughing Muse said...

Starbuck's...my vice is their gingerbread lattes, but I know what you mean: they're wonderful!! And they're only around once a year. Good timing, then, that your recovery period coincides! (Also, you won't miss spending lovely days outdoors - it will be too dang cold!!!)

No housework AND avoiding corporate holiday parties? Where can I sign up?

Hope your surgery goes well.

I hope it goes well with minimal pain and bountiful recovery attention.

I love your TT list! During the busiest time of the year, you get to kick back, take drugs, have a maid clean your home, your family wait on you hand and foot (especially the foot part) and avoid the ackward get-togethers! Truly, have a speedy recovery!

Merry Christmas

What a "glass half-full" person you are.

Mags said...

Now I want to get a pedicure...with vicodin.

(Just kidding)

How about with Starbucks instead?

Chaotic Mom said...

A $15K pedicure WITH Vicodan? Count me in! Man, I don't know what I'd do if I needed surgery right now. My left knee may need it, actually. I may have to wait until summer, though, so hubby can be around to help with the kiddos.

I've posted my Thursday Thirteen, too. Enjoy!

I hope your surgery goes well. My mom just had her 2nd foot surgery in two years. I hope you are relaxing soon with your Starbucks in one hand, and a great book in another.
Best Wishes for a speedy recovery.
Happy TT!

Hope it all goes well!

I pray that the surgery goes fantastically well, that your recovery is quick, and that you are really able to enjoy the time you have off of work.

Di said...

Sending you lots of virtual peppermint mochas! Trade ya for some vicodin? It's not going to make you all ornery like Dr. House, is it????

I would love to be a fly on the wall at the party with the drunk teachers at my kids' schools!!!!

You didn't mention LOTS MORE TIME TO BLOG!

N. Mallory said...

Much luck!

Happy TT!

Penny said...

Prayers for your surgery, Bellezza.

Celfyddydau said...

hope your surgery goes well and you have a fast recovery.

Just think of all that blogging time.

elementaryhistoryteacher said...

Gee, what some people won't do to get some time off from school.......Seriously, the vicodan sounds nice, the reading time sounds nice, missing the obligatory faculty party.....PRICELESS! I hate those things.

I'll be thinking of you.....

Nessie said...

Good Luck Babe? Does this mean that there will be more blog posts for us? Hurray! You can be our teacher for a month or so!

Knitting Maniac said...

Wow! Eight weeks! Take that time to HEAL. Don't you dare get up and start cleaning. I bet you have a lot of books lined up for this one!

CaliforniaTeacherGuy said...

Eight weeks off! Wow! It makes me envious just thinking of all the blogging you'll be able to do! (Yeah, I know: Envy is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. So?)

Ms. George said...

I love number thirteen. It's amazing how He is able to keep doing this, despite all the obstacles we might put in His way.

The Atavist said...

Best of luck with the surgery, Bellezza.

Bellezza said...

It's amazing, in five short months, how well I am known!

No obligatory holiday parties, hooray! No housework, hooray! Lots of reading time, hooray! More time to "chat" with you all, Hooray!

Thanks for your well wishes.

Les said...

Ah, Vicodan. Vicodan was my best friend when I had my wisdom teeth out (and soon after when I got dry-socket).

You'll be in my thoughts tomorrow, Bellezza. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Enjoy your extra reading time!

Irish Church Lady :) said...

I hope your surgery went well Belleza and you are recovering well!

You make it sound almost like a holiday! hee hee
