I could get used to this

It's the middle of a sunny, coolish Friday afternoon.  I just got back from taking the pups for a long walk.  I may lay down and take a nap.  I could use one.

I went back to the dermatologist this morning for a "procedure".  They found a cyst between my shoulder blades during my semi-annual visit last week so this week they removed it.  I've had cysts removed before, when I was younger (as in - 20 or more years ago), and in the scheme of things - especially compared with other things I've had done - it was pretty easy.  But I don't think we realize how much psychic energy these kinds of things take until afterwards - I'm tired.

I think the shot they gave me for the "procedure" is beginning to wear off.  I go back to have the stitches removed in two weeks.

It has been a busy week.  My sister has been visiting, but went to Virginia for my cousin's 60th birthday.  I would have loved to have gone, too, but between this procedure and my scuba classes it's a bad weekend to try to get away.

The scuba classes are going well.  Last night we did our first dive in the pool.  So far so good.  I tried scuba in my young teens but had a pressure problem so I stopped before the end.  It's fascinating even in a pool to be sitting at the bottom looking up.  Anyway, we're off today, then long days of class/water work the next two days before the certification exam on Sunday.  We're headed south for our Open Water certification next week.

I had my hair done this week.  I got a pedicure.  I've spent some good "me" time.  I've had some good time with my sister.  I've spent some time with a certain someone.  I'm doing things I haven't had time to do for a while.  It's good good good.

Of course, it can't last forever.  I'll need to be employed again at some point.  It's just a fact of life.  But for now I'm not worried about it.  I'm enjoying today too much.  :)
