Dr. M must be feeling some better this week because we have
flower pictures! He actually still has a lot of nerve pain – plus the regular
aches & pains that usually get handled by the Aleve that he’s not allowed
to take right now. But he is forging ahead & trying to feel a little more
normal.

We are pretty much ready for any broccoli situation.
I finally finished this wall hanging. I think it’s going to
live in our living room, but that’s still TBD.
I was brushing my teeth & had some sort of mishap when I
moved the toothbrush from my top teeth to my bottom teeth & flang
toothpaste all over the mirror. Which I had just cleaned the day before. VERY
ANNOYING.

I forgot to bring my “office” glasses to work, so I had to
wear my driving glasses which have this very tiny reading/computer section. I
spent the day with my head tilted back trying to read things on my computer.
VERY ANNOYING.

I was trying to work on a shawl during a webinar at work,
but my yarn was not cooperating. VERY ANNOYING. (Don’t worry, the rest of the
week was less annoying.)
Dr. M caught this butterfly on the wildflowers – he just had
his cell phone with him, but stay tuned for a more in focus butterfly.

Dr. M took some pictures of our back yard flowers – they seem
to be thriving despite temps in the 90s every day.

More wildflowers (with a guest azalea appearance) – still making
me smile. I can’t wait to see what they look like next year.

One of my coworkers has been on vacation this week & I
DECIMATED her candy basket so I had to replenish it & then I had to put
this sign in there.
Butterfly! Dr. M says: "See the dog and the
butterfly...up in the air he likes to fly. The dog and the butterfly...below
she had to try! And she rolled back down to the warm soft ground,
laughing...she don't know why, but she had to try, she had to try...the dog and
the butterfly"

Went to get groceries today & saw one of my very top pet
peeves. No, I did not move the small card to another section – there were too
many large carts behind it & I had a car full of groceries. But I was VERY
TEMPTED!
Monday is Dr. M’s first follow-up appointment with his
surgeon. We’re both a little nervous – hoping that all still looks well &
that the pain he feels is just a normal part of the healing process. I remember
from my hip surgery (two years ago this week!) that every twinge I felt during
those first few months was magnified & turned into “I’ve screwed up my hip”
in my brain. Wish us well, won’t you?
Wishing you the best for Monday's appointment!
ReplyDeleteMy pet peeve is when I brush my teeth and for some reason the liquid toothpaste-saliva mix escapes my mouth and drips on my clean shirt...grrr.
And shopping carts not being returned to the cart corral is definitely in my top ten peeves.
fingers crossed for a good report from the surgeon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower and butterfly pictures. I feel your pain with the yarn. And, my response is to just put the offending skein away and start with a new one! Hope all goes well on Monday.
ReplyDeleteThe technical term for that is Yarn Barf. LOL. And when that occurs it drives me batty. It's the reason why I always wind my yarn before I start knitting. ALWAYS.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that The Professor gets some good news and some strategies for pain from the doctor.
Great butterfly and flower pix. Yes, I think he's feeling some better.
