The Day Before

After breakfast we went to the Desert Botanical Gardens. We ended up spending about 2.5 hours, me ambling along, Michele riding a scooter, looking at all of the plants and playing with my Digital Rebel XT camera. 110 pictures later the battery ran out and we headed off to a late lunch at Carlsbad Tavern. We ate there last year after my SRS. We endeed up sitting outside which which was nice, but it got a bit cool and there were Palo Verde leaves falling all over everything, including the food.

It's really amazing the difference in 4.5 months. Back in August/September we would have never been outside doing anything between 11 and 2. Now, I had a jacket on for all but a brief time around 1pm. The hostess at breakfast said that here they consider those months to be their "winter", the time to stay indoors.

We're sitting here watching "24", then it's off for some dinner. It's now 16.5 hours until surgery.
