Released!

This morning I graduated from the Hysterectomy Mystery School of Unsought Wisdom. I had my one-month-after-surgery checkup and my doc said I'm fine to pump iron and move pianos and do anything else I have energy for.

So look out! I re-enter the world with a whole new glint in my eye: ready to seize the day when I feel like it, retire again to the sofa when I don't.

I imagine that this is how it is to come back from a war and start college again: in the time away, my view has changed. It's harder now to see how I could ever be thrown off balance by the small events of an ordinary work day.
