There's no new news on the surgery, just that it's going to happen tomorrow. I'm feeling alright, but my good news actually doesn't have anything to do with my health.
The Washington Post called me yesterday and told me that a story that I submitted six months ago was chosen to be published. (It's fun to get a call from the Washington Post, by the way.) The story will be going in the Washington Post magazine which comes out on Sundays - and it's a part of the "Editor's Query" series which asks silly questions that readers are supposed to give a confirmable, true story which will make people laugh.
This news made me very happy. They supposedly get thousands of responses a week. The journalist in me was excited that I was edited by the Washington Post - and the PR person in me was glad that they didn't edit it too much. They're paying me $50, too - which will go toward my Wheat Grinder fund.
The story is silly, about the moment I knew I was in love with John. They'll probably be all schmoopy and run it around Valentine's Day. It should be available online. Hopefully I won't be on too many drugs and I'll be able to enjoy the moment.
Yea for me!
