Stitches be Gone!
Another positive visit to the foot Doctor! Not only are the stitches out, no more bandages, and I can shower without keeping my foot dry. This will help loosen the line of dried blood along the incision… I’ve iced my foot three times today and put straight vitamin E on the incision. I can even […]
Visitors and Tomorrow’s Appointment
My yoga girlfriends came over early this afternoon 💜. One brought homemade GF cookies and pastry, and the other brought three primroses. I felt very pampered by both their company and the treats. The flowers are on the dining room table for the time being. I’ll transition them to the heated atrium over the weekend, […]
Post-Op
Ankle repair went optimally. At today’s follow-up appointment I graduated to boot-only when I’m up and about/using my scooter. I don’t have to sleep with it on anymore! I am hoping this means better sleep. I’m also off of all rX pain-killers, and have been given the OK to switch over to Advil. Tylenol is […]
‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip – Day 5
Scooting out went well. Our neighbor to the east stopped by to say goodbye. It was a nice break to hang out with her. Here are some pics of the lower barn. They are chaotic, but show so much forward movement! I thought I was a good painter 😏. We were home in time to […]
‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip – Day 4
All the peeps showed up today… My DH and I moved two tall metal shelves from the lower to the upper barn, and filled the truck (DH did the vast majority of this task) with more firewood. He also installed a second security camera aimed at Stella. We had a great birthday phone call with […]
‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip – Day 3
It’s been a quiet day with a little exploration of my DH’s office trailer. We finally went through all the cupboards, inside and out, to see what came with her. There was a propane griddle thing that I posted on the local Buy Nothing board. It’s being picked up tomorrow! I also found the wire […]
‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip – Day 2
We started today by sleeping it half away. It was 12:30 when I finally got out of bed. We get a little feral about bedtime when my DH is on vacation. 😏 Our neighbor to the east and I took a walk up the road, stopping at the neighbor to the north along the way. […]
‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip – Day 1
The drive to the ferry alternated between fog as thick as pea soup, and brilliant sunshine. It was kinda wonderful! Stella continues to be mouse free. I am saying prayers to the correct lesser-Gods. I don’t think God has time in their schedule to influence our mouse concerns, so I send my requests to those […]
‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip Pre-launch
We got home from a delightful afternoon, at the local (extremely well done) aquarium, celebrating our grandson’s birthday, at 4:30. Once home, I kinda went into a pre-trip-panic looking at all the unchecked boxes. 1.5 hours later, I am happy to report feeling in good shape for an 8:30 departure. We’re joining up with the […]
Merry Christmas 🎄
NORAD is tracking Santa’s flight around the world! Children everywhere are dreaming of delights in the morning, parents are putting away screwdrivers and allen wrenches… And looking forward to a special breakfast, and a sea of wrapping paper. We are reflecting on all that we are thankful for: Family, some time off, intentionally making space […]
