The Bug Household had a pretty good week. Well, Dr. M had a
pretty good week. The Bug Herself had an ok week. Shall we find out why?

I wore a new outfit & felt sassy.
Dr. M continues to work on our Halloween décor. We got tiki
torches to put out by the wildflower bed. Additionally, after being in a drought
situation we now have humidity. Dr. M always looks a little maniacal when he
takes selfies. I promise that he is a big ole teddy bear!

Dr. M says, a tale of two acorns: the tiny but apparently
yummy white oak vs. the ginormous but decidedly unpopular chestnut oak.

Dr. M had an appointment with his primary care doctor &
saw this Autumn Tree – ha!

Dr. M had a follow up appointment
with his back surgeon this morning. As he said on Facebook: My...Precious!
After 3 months without naproxen, I am officially cleared to take it again 👍 Oh,
and my lumbar X-rays look great! I go back next July for my anniversary follow
up 🎉 Thanks for all your support...I’ve
likely still got many months ahead of recovery, but the fusion looks great so
far.
Meanwhile, I was getting a crown
at the dentist’s office. They make them in the office, so I had time to crochet
while it was being baked. As usual, I am never simple. They had to make two
molds because the first one wasn’t perfect, and that meant more Novocain. Also,
I have a small mouth & it felt like some sort of toothed battle had taken
place in there. Ouch!

Me trying to see what my new
crown looks like. Ha!
Dr. M got a strap for his
banjo. He’s the cutest thing roaming around the house like some sort of
southern troubadour.
Meanwhile, I made good progress
on the vest I’ve been working on forever. It’s now being blocked – I’ll sew it
together once it dries. Hopefully you’ll see me wearing it next week!

It was almost bedtime & I was crawling around my closet
floor trying to find the earring back I’d lost that morning. And it occurred to
me that I hadn’t taken a picture yet that day. So here you go!

October 19th
I walked up the hill to get a (not very good) picture of
this Halloween decoration. For some reason I think it’s hilariously fabulous
(sorry Nance). My Little Undead Unicorn Pony? Ha!
I was supposed to do some housework today. Dr. M was going
to go to his dad’s and I was going to stay home & dust & such. But I
decided that it would be “easier on Dr. M” if I went with him instead of
staying home. And then I decided to write this post, and now I’m just not sure
I have time to do any cleaning. I mean, it IS after 5:30 and almost bedtime. I
don’t suppose any of you would like to volunteer to come do it for me? No?
I'll be glad to come and dust your house just as soon as I dig and haul the dirt out of mine! I like your sassy pic and your corduroys.
ReplyDeleteThat Halloween yard thing embodies all that I dismay. It’s horrible, and not in a good way.
ReplyDeleteand you look sassy! but I don't know if I'd call that a vest, more like a cross between a coat and a shawl. I'm still waiting to get the call to get my two permanent crowns.
ReplyDeleteI was quite surprised to find a banjo in my attic a year ago. No one here plays the instrument but after asking my wife she said it once belonged to her late dad. She brought it to this house after finding it carelessly stored in her brother's garage.
ReplyDeleteNot sure the thing is in a better place now. Plus, I find having a dead man's musical instrument in the attic sort of creepy.
Good thing they made the crown right there. Otherwise you would have had to wait another week or so. Love the crochet projects.
ReplyDeleteAn autumn tree?! That's a new one.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that your dentist can make crowns right there in the office. I had to wait something like a week for mine!
I like your week-in-photos! I made something similar to your vest last year but used a too heavy yarn for our winter. Your's looks very nice!
ReplyDeleteYou pay a lot for teeth you never see :)
ReplyDeleteLove your pants in that first pic!!!!
I have always wanted to do a fall tree.. the hubs puts his foot down on that one
I love your new outfit! Sadly, I don't love new outfits for myself...I wear the same things over and over, every day. A white polo shirt and either cropped khakis or jeans. I keep threatening that soon I'll wear EXACTLY the same thing every day...black jeans and black T-shirt. You know, like Steve Jobs. LOL.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I'm done with my housecleaning I'll come and do yours. Which means never.
