11/42

11 days down, 31 to go (I think I need one of those paper chains we made in elementary school)

It was a fun weekend with my mom. We went to Psycho Suzies on Saturday for lunch with Miss Morgan, Coco and Tanya.
It was fabulous to be outside and feel the warm sun! We came home and mom hauled all my cushions out of the basement and got my outdoor furniture arranged. It was great to rest outside, Sophie and I both managed a nap in the sun.

It was a lazy evening and we Mom and I ordered pizza for dinner and watched "We Bought a Zoo", super cute movie! Did you know the real zoo is in England? We didn't.

Sunday it was 80 out but we stayed in all day. Mom was on a mission to clean out my closets and dresser drawers in my guest room and bedroom...and that she did. I sat on the bed in each room and said "throw, keep it or recycle it". We got rid of a TON of stuff! It felt great and now I want to keep going... Only mom needs to was home. Sigh. I'm going to need to fly her back again to finish up :)

It's been great having her here. Not just because of all she has done for me (which has been a ton), but because we don't get to just hang out ever. I like it. Makes me sad she doesn't live closer to me.

Today was my 1st day downtown in the office. I ended the day in a lot of pain. It was tough but I'm blessed with awesome coworkers who jumped in to help me out and my neighbors who drive me to and from. I would be lost without my support system and truly appreciate everyone who has helped me out. It seems like I should be past needing help, but I have a ways to go. This is a lesson isn't it? Learning how to be vulnerable and let people help me... and more importantly- ask for help.

Sounds like the weather is about to turn back the temps to cold again- which sucks, so I'm appreciating sleeping with the windows open again tonight!

Post op appointment tomorrow. Hoping for more news on timing of the recovery and how I'm doing so far. Crossing fingers I am ahead of the curve and can drive again soon!!
Good night, sleep tight!
