Preparing

Blogging isn't a lifestyle choice or an activity for me anymore. It's a necessity. I mean nearly every day I'm reminded "you need to blog", and yes, honestly, if I wasn't reminded periodically, some days I would probably forget to blog.
I don't even know at what point I decided to carry on blogging throughout December. I said I would do every day in November which I did until two days before the end when I missed a day for some reason I can't remember. I don't know, maybe I was ill or busy or something. Then without really mentioning it at all, I just sort of flowed into blogging every day of December, too. I know I missed a day last week but I was really really very ill that day, and if I miss tomorrow, don't be surprised, either. I'm having an operation, and I believe that medical reasons is the condition on which I do not blog, which when you think about it is a pretty damn good reason if not the best. Well, I guess death would be another reason to skip a few days, be it mine or somebody elses, but I hope it doesn't come to that any time soon.
I'm finally getting my operation tomorrow. Hopefully. I said the same thing last week and that didn't exactly go to plan, did it? I did ask for a book to read in the hospital in order to evade boredom but that isn't going to happen. I can't text anyone because they'll be in school and I can't get Wi-Fi in the hospital so that leaves me with three choices. 1) take a book that I've already read and read it again. I mean c'mon, would reading Hector Kipling or Prisoner of Azkaban again really be so bad? No, so I might do that as well as doing number 2. 2) Revise. I'll be taking my French book with me, my independant workbook, pencil case and some lined paper, and I'm going to revise, hard-core. I've already started writing out paragraphs and analysing them, it was surprisingly fun to do it neat and organised. When I'm done it's all going into a folder with sections and partitions with labels. I think I might have OCD because this, among other things this style, is brilliant for me, I'm seriously loving it. Then of course there's option 3) either play games/write on my iPod all day and risk running a low battery or take my charger and try to find a plug socket.
To be honest, I'll probably do all of these things. I'll do them all to be prepared for anything and then be called in first and out by three. Except that isn't going to happen because I'm not an urgent case in the slightest so I'll probably be last. Last to go in, last to eat. Not fair.
