Monday Miscellany

Things are moving along just swimmingly at the Bug Household. Although I did hear the phrase "knotted plow line" muttered just a few minutes ago. If you'd like to make him feel a little more calm please visit Dr. M's blog today - he took some lovely moon shots the other day. Please, do it for me. Ha!

I seem to be recuperating by leaps and bounds. Dr. M & I are impressed with my therapy (so far just with him as the task master - haven't seen any sign of home health care yet). I'm having to remember that I still need to use my walker, which I take as a good sign. I'll bet I move straight to a cane by the end of the week.

My recovery is aided & abetted by the love I receive in the mail nearly every day. Here's my stash of cards:

Anne send the card on the bottom left, as well as a crossword puzzle book, a seek-a-word book (my salvation this week!), a James Patterson mystery and BROWNIES. Wow - those brownies are the BEST. My friend Bev sent a pack of cards of her original artwork, as well as one of her photo cards. See:

You should check out her artwork  - she's pretty fabulous. Another artist sent me a gift that arrived just today.

I had been feeling pitiful because no one had given me a prayer shawl & then Robin sent me one of hers! Thanks Robin! Isn't it lovely?

Several people had mentioned that I need a bag for the front of my walker, so I decided to see if I had any ingenuity left (after the great cane/paperclip escapade) & rigged up this little bag. Note my hair clip within easy reach should I have a MY HAIR IS TOO HOT GET IT OUT OF MY FACE emergency.

So we're doing ok. I think Dr. M's murderous impulses have been kept in check. Here is a picture from my afternoon constitutional yesterday. I look all calm, but in fact, I had a moment of terror as I realized that the cypress vine was trying to wrap around my arm. Yikes! and I'll bet you women know what my first thought was when I saw the picture: wonder how soon I can get a color appointment?

Have a nice day!
