Back at it

After work tonight I managed to:
  • hit the pool for physical therapy
  • watered all the living plants
  • dig up the garden box on the west side of the house and add mulch. Planting will hopefully commence soon. I have to thank my neighbor for bringing us the mulch. And telling me what to do with it. And lending me the tools. I'm so lucky to have such good neighbors
  • Clean the bathtub
  • Wash, fold a couple of loads of laundry
  • Cook dinner (ok well maybe it was just heating soup)
  • Pay the trash bill
  • Search Jon's birthday present
That may not seem exciting, but for much of the past 2 months my typical night at home was: take my shoes off, take pain pills, go straight to bed. It's hard work healing up and I wasn't capable of doing much. I'm glad my body is now healed to the point that I can return to working on the house and being a useful, helpful spouse.

    Glad to hear you're able to do more. Just don't overdue it. We've been fussing with Comcast all week long - still have no landline. If you need to reach us us the cell phone numbers. TTYL & love

    Yea for good neighbors! Yea for pain pills!

    I know exactly what you mean. Several days after coming home from the hospital I had to stop taking my pain medication b/c of the blood clots, and that was NOT fun. And I couldn't do anything for six weeks after the c section. Now I can do whatever I please, but I'm still lacking energy. SOMEDAY!

    I'm glad you're doing better. I couldn't believe how crazy your accident was. I know you'll have a quick and full recovery. don't stress yourself and enjoy the rest of the summer:)
