I got a nose job. Ok, not a real nose job. I had a deviated septum fixed. It's a pretty minor surgery. It's not like I had a kidney removed or anything. But yet it still seemed very complicated. One little piece of cartiledge had to be realigned, and yet I had to go to the hospital, get all this blood work done, get an I.V. and a hospital gown that was missing about ten snaps, and a blue shower cap-like thing for my head, and get a general anesthetic and this doctor went to work... when I woke up I decided that this was the worst idea I'd ever had in my entire life. "Feel like you've been hit by a truck, huh?" a nurse said sympathetically as I floated in a post-operative haze.Luckily I'm feeling much better now. I've got a sling for my nose. It looks really, really funny. Patrick was watching t.v. the day I had the surgery and came across this bit of dialogue on Mad About You:
Helen Hunt: You should've married that woman with a nose job!
Paul Reiser: You're so cruel! The woman had a deviated septum!
Helen Hunt: They alllll do.

so many things...
... That I can't control, can't predict the outcome of, have no idea what will happen to... I used to think that I could predict the future. I really, really believed that I could. And then I figured out that there's no way I'd be given the ability to predict the future, because that would go against the whole point of being alive. So where does that leave me? Hoping and wondering. Trying to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

update
I'm back at home for two weeks. I'm sitting here, curled up in a leather desk chair, in a cozy house that's surrounded by snow. It's funny how I feel differently about this place and my family every time I come home. It's like a kaleidescope. The same pieces are all there, but how they fall together makes a different image each time. So this time, I'm happy about the weather, happy to be someplace calm and quiet, glad to see my little sister, and looking forward to lots of good food.
