Years ago (okay, fine...decades ago) in high school some boy jokingly called me Sigourney Weaver. I don't remember all of the details of how or why that nickname came about, but it's sort of funny that she and I do have a lot in common now. Well, the Sigourney Weaver of 1997 or whenever "Aliens" came out. Bald, badass, and with an alien growing inside of us!! My alien will be removed tomorrow morning though, Thank GOD! I'm SO over having this gross bump that hurts more and more every day. The other day I couldn't even put my jeans on without it pinching my little alien baby.
It turns out I'm developing a "day before surgery" routine. I go shopping. Today it was the first ever "Back to School" shopping for Reagan! She starts Kindergarten next month, so I figured we should get her some new clothes before the full effects of radiation kick in and I'm too tired. (Wait.... I don't think anything will ever make me "too tired" to shop.) But I decided not to chance it..
Now the girls are over at Nana and Papa's. Matt's at work until 9, and I'm just here thinking about how differently I feel going into this surgery. Clearly it's not nearly as big a surgery as the doublay was. I do have some anxiety about tomorrow, but not nearly as much. I think I'm more just anxious to get this over with. And here's hoping that there is no sequel to my personal "Alien" movie.....
