Come On, Spring!

Those who know me well know that I often say I am "done" with Winter on December 26th.  So true.

Here it is the end of January.  It is cold.  Too cold to do anything out in the yard.  Too cold for golf.  We've had a couple snow flurries, but nothing major.  We are ready for warm weather.  Part of my frustration is that I have been recuperating from the surgery and have not been able to do many of the things I like to do.  Now I am feeling stronger and better and can't get out to do things because of the cold weather.  But I have read a lot of good books!

Other than that, we are doing well.  I am still going to PT three times a week and have made good progress.  This next week is the last that I have scheduled.  They will do an evaluation sometime this week and decide if I need to continue.  I am confident enough to go without my cane now if I know I'm on good, flat, solid surfaces.  I'm sleeping a little better.  And the severe swelling seems to be over.  Life is good.

I've been doing a few things around the house. And making a mental list of other things that are needed.  The windows really need to be washed, but not now.  (see second paragraph!)

We got Cinder to her check-up/rabies shot appointment.  Other than starting to have some issues with arthritis, she is doing well.  Cecil still needs to go for his check-up but we are having problems actually getting him.  I swear he has the best ESP I've ever seen in a cat!  Yesterday we thought we had him "cornered" in our bedroom but at first we couldn't find him.  Then Golfer discovered that he was under the bed - up inside the bottom covering on the box springs!  And try as we did, we could not get him to budge.  And our bed is just too big and heavy for us to try to move.  I even did the whole "chase him with the vacuum" deal to try to get him to take cover in the closet.  The most I've accomplished is making eye contact with him from across the room.  Sooner or later we'll get him.  Sweet little guy!

Last Saturday, for my birthday, Nurse J took us to the Boxwood Inn for the Robert Burns Birthday dinner.  It was a lovely evening with Scottish music - including bagpipes!  The food was interesting, Good, but I would like to know what some of it was!  We did not partake of the haggis.  :)

I hope all is well with everyone.  Keep happy thoughts and stay safe!
