Camping
We just returned from a four night camping trip just an hour north of our mainland home. My DH observed that it takes ‘all this infrastructure, planning, setting up etc, so we can sit down and do nothing more than read for half a day.’ True fact. We saw a friend who lives just north […]
PT
I started physical therapy on Monday. It was almost amazing to the the PT use the same language the podiatrist did: “We need to keep your foot from falling off.” My inner 8-year old boy sees a cartoon of my foot falling off of my ankle! What they mean is we don’t want another ligament […]
Ankle Update
After a visit with the podiatrist today, who barely touched my ankle before claiming, “Whoa, this is a serious injury!” It is confirmed that I did tear a ligament. Official diagnosis: Severe Ankle Instability. Lovely… I’m in yet another brace (all waking hours) and have a compression sleeve to sleep in. I also have to […]
AN
In talking with my AN about an easement he needs in order to have the power company take power from my transformer to his well (so I don’t have to provide power for the well anymore) he let me know his latest MRI was not what they’d hoped. He’s not going to pursue further treatment. […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 10
It’s amazing to me that it’s the last day of August. Every year it’s amazing to me that it’s the last day of August! The sunset is moving south, the vine maple is turning color, the onions are ready to harvest, and the poppy seed pods are ready to sprinkle about the garden. My DH […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 9
It was a good day, and went kinda like this: We head back tomorrow.
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 8
The house is now primed. It kinda kicked my butt because I’m compulse, and it’s done. If a monsoon rolls in, there’s no more bare thirsty wood to suck up water. Whew! My DH was my hero wielding the roller, which made my compulsiveness, I mean my job, much easier! He also removed the down […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 7
We did only things that pleased us today. No work, no tasks, nothing urgent got done. I’m very proud of us! We went to a state park, wandered the harbor at the resort on the Island, marveling at the building-sized yachts, paused for a late afternoon snack, returned here to a mystery bottle of champagne […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 5
The rain made sure no further work was competed on the house today, so I slept in, made a fast run to town, and had fun constructing five quilt blocks. We had an early (for us) dinner with friends in town, and are now back to a chatty cat who thinks he should have a […]
