Over Half Way!!!!!

I hope I don't run out of room in the sunroom. I'm surrounded by my "stuff". Before surgery I collected projects in the spare bedroom to work on and as I finish, Chuck brings me another one. It's worked well, but there's barely room to get thru here. When Mary and Anne get here today, I'll have to have them carry some stuff downstairs.

Speaking of downstairs, yesterday (while Chuck was here) I "slid" downstairs on my rear. It was easy and I wanted to scope things out because tomorrow the top is coming for my cutting table. Somethings needed to be moved out of the way so under my direction, Chuck stacked here and there to make room for the carpenters. I tell you, I have seen a whole different side of the guy this past week. He's always more than willing to do stuff for me. Well, to be honest, he always had 2 jobs and we had the kids who could help out so I guess he never felt a need to be available. And I've never really been in a situation like this where I couldn't actually get where I needed to go. It's been a good experience. I do have to remember that the week nights are different than the weekends. When he gets home his head is full of work and he can be a little "short". I'm short too because I'm frustrated with my disability. It's taught us to be more tolerant of each other...and that's a good thing.

Back to downstairs. Chuck carried the walker downstairs for me to use. The coming up was easy and he brought the walker back up. But today, he's not here so he brought a short rope in the house for me to tie on to the walker so I can lower it and then pull it back up myself. Just being down there yesterday gives me itchy fingers to work on something on my sewing machine. Or even just a change of scenery. Those of you who quilt will understand; the rest of you will just be shaking your heads.

This week should go by fast. My sister is coming today, the carpenters will be here tomorrow, Wednesday I'll be getting birthday gifts wrapped and my pie started for Thursday. Thursday in DM, Friday home, Saturday we're going to Iowa City to see friends, Monday I go back to the surgeon and get my stitches out. Mary will drive me down - we may make a day of it.

My agility is really improving. I got my shower this morning in record time and am actually going to style my hair today. That will be a huge improvement. During my down times I'm watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. The way I see it; it's downhill from here.

Til later
