Today I am thankful for quiet. It's quiet inside. It's quiet outside. Aaaahhhh...

(Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone!

Right now, everything is off and all I can hear is the wind blowing dried leaves around outside and the noises from our computer. He'll come in and turn the tv on to the country music channel in no time if he comes home to this, lol!
There's so much noise where we live (off a major highway, across the bay from 3 airports, obnoxious tenants) and even noise in my brain with all of my rambling thoughts, that it's So Nice to be able to just sit in the quiet and be silent for a while.
