Best Day Ever

You guys!  I had the best day yesterday and it was doing nothing but puttering around this house. I got up and made some kick butt coffee (I bought a new coffee frother and it is bringing me such happiness), made myself a yummy breakfast, took care of some YMSL and Love Box business, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned off my desk, spent some quality time solving the world's problems with Harry before he headed to work, shredded a bunch of paperwork that has piled up over the last several weeks, wrote some birthday cards, did a little laundry and then was interrupted by a knock at the door.  My day was only getting better!

My sweet neighbor Judy sent me an edible arrangement that was absolutely darling. Look at this....it is in a miniature grill!


Thick apple slices covered in chocolate and decorated like ladybugs.  Come on!  That is just some kind of cute. 


I ate an embarrassing amount of the fruit because it was perfect. Perfectly ripe.  Perfectly sweet. It was the best fruit I have had all summer. 

Then I made a giant juice with a ton of spinach and some pineapple from the arrangement, threw in some ginger and half a cucumber and it was so lovely. 


I made a giant skillet of lemon garlic chicken pasta for Harry to eat for dinner and then crashed on the couch to watch some Netflix.  I felt so good to be productive.  

I don't even want to mention my k***, but for Bob and Lana...it feels so dang good.  No pain.  Don't want to jinx it, but I think it is going to be fine. 

I am off to a great start this morning and actually got up, took a shower in my own bathroom, put on some makeup and some real clothes and am drinking some coffee and feeling like a non-injured person.  HOORAY!!! 

Hope your Sunday is wonderful and you find lots of things to celebrate!

Knee Report - Some Good News

Happy Friday!!  I just had a little good news to share about my knee before I get into the weekend!

First, and most exciting....I made it upstairs to the bedroom for the last two nights in a row and slept in my own bed!  It was AMAZING!  After sleeping on the couch for 26 days, it was pure bliss to be able to spread out in a queen size bed!  The BEST!

Second, When I woke up this morning I did not have any pain in my left knee.  The knee is still a little bit swollen and feels kind of tight, but not even a twinge of pain. Hooray!!!  Things are definitely looking up on the leg front!  Two more weeks to go using crutches, but I am cruising along and feel like it is going to be fine.

Last, the boys returned my wheelchair to the rental place this afternoon....no looking back now!

That is all I have for now.  Hope your weekend is excellent!

A blank page.  What an interesting thing.  How could something this simple, this plain, this empty feel like such a challenge?  I used to mo...
