Here is My Plan.

See Chappy (guy that likes to drill holes in children) before the month ends. Make it very clear that she needs to return to school this fall come hell or high water.

Schedule surgery by Mid-May.  Keep doing the Pred taper and resist the urge to go too quickly.
(Prednison is the cause).

Figure out what to do with all my new garden space cleared by little Asian garden guy.

Finish Blood Sucking Fiends. Do laundry. Take a shower. Order those really beautiful begonias from Brecks.  No specific order designated.
