Distractions

Last day at home. It was a day to be busy. Michael washed the cars and the windows and watered the plants.

Keith and I planned a program so that we could get prework out. Teaching the program seems a lifetime away next month. Melissa and I walked the hills one last time before the surgery. And then I reverted to type and baked:

• pumpkin muffins (for Naomi and Silke)
• almond cookies (for the Cultivating Leadership snack)
• chocolate mousse (for Aidan)
• triple chocolate cheesecake (for the Cultivating Leadership dinner)
• chocolate chip shortbread (for Naomi)

Tomorrow we go back to Auckland. 4.30 radioactive shot. Dinner with Rob and Naomi and Silke. Then to try to sleep before the 6.30am pre-op call. Soon the tide turns and the hard stuff gets easier (I hope) but not yet...
