Twas the night before sleeving

Today has been a whirlwind of a day. Wrapping things up at work, celebrating my birthday, and ignoring the grumbling of my stomach while partaking in a liquid diet today. It's enough to drive a person crazy.

I don't know what I expected to feel at this point. I will be at the hospital in a little over six hours. In eight hours and change, I should be in the operating room. It has been a long time coming and now...I feel conflicted on some level.

Tonight, I spent some time celebrating my birthday when all of a sudden, I just got an overwhelming sense of sadness and actually teared up. I don't know what was behind that feeling, but it has been lingering just beneath the surface ever since. I just don't know what to make of it.

I just need to shut my mind off, put the computer away, and get some much-needed sleep. Tomorrow is a big day and I will need to give my body all of the rest and energy that I possibly can.
