So long, sweet freedom/Snow day

Today is the last day of my recovery period and I will be returning to work tomorrow. Part of me wants to throw myself on the ground, kicking and screaming "Don't make me GOOOOOOOO!" I've really enjoyed the evenings and weekends I've had off, visiting friends and family, hanging out with E, watching movies and playing cribbage, sleeping in late and snuggling in with both my guys and occasionally getting a tiny elbow right in the eye. Time didn't go by too fast and it felt like a great break. But it will be nice having the extra money. My paychecks are in between E's and it is a nice little supplement to have.

I've been waking up earlier this week and it is so nice. I feel like I have time in my day to do stuff and do it in a more leisurely fashion. Getting up at 8:30 is way better than getting up at 11, and I feel more energized. It also seems that D is happier too, we get to spend more time playing or going to the library without feeling frazzled and pressed for time. D is much more playful, maybe because I am much more calm. I like my days now.

I'll end with this: A couple of weeks ago we had a few hours of snow. Huge, soft flakes came down and I had to take D out in it. He had a blast! He ran around with his hands out trying to catch the flakes just laughing and laughing. I finally had to literally DRAG him inside screaming because he wanted to stay out. His little hands were so red and his feet were wet but he didn't care. It was so wonderful to watch!

A new toy

My hand has mostly recovered. The scar is not going to be as ugly as I thought it would be which makes me very happy. Although, the incision still hurts but the pain is slowly fading.

I got a new laptop! Well, not new-new, but new to me. It's about three years old and looks and works great. I told E some time ago that I wanted a laptop, but it was no pressure to go out to buy one. Then last week E's friend from work told him that he had a broken laptop and if E could fix it he could keep it. And since my genius husband does just that for a living (he's in charge of finding out what is wrong with electronic things his company makes and fixes them, writes up reports on what is wrong) he found that the only thing wrong with it was the plug-in had wore out. He bought the plug and replaced it and told me that I could have this computer all for myself! What a sweetie! Next I need a new battery, but that's just minor stuff.

It's time to run errands!

Happy Thursday!

Wow, it's been a whole month!

On 2-24 I had my second carpal tunnel release surgery. I was cocky because my last surgery went so wonderful that I didn't take good care of my incision and now I have a gross, nasty, raging infection. I even had to go to the Urgent Care that I work at to get some antibiotics. They always give me a yeast infection. (too much info!)

It hurts and I can't do anything.

Happy Monday!
