Hi, ho!

It’s nose to the grindstone day!! So, off to work I go!

I’ll be home shortly after 2PM eastern time and I’ll be in the studio around 3-ish. Come watch me on the web cam while I make beads with my rainbow cane I made last week!

We had a WONDERFUL weekend! Saturday was Nancy’s birthday and yesterday was Mom’s day! Great times!!

I hope everyone else had a good weekend too!

Our friends puggy pups

We, here in Maine LOVE watching this local actress who advertises for Mardens, a local salvage retail store. (Big Lots on a local level) Just watch the ads on her website, and then check out the local TV stations interview with her. She is very cute and funny. Very “back woods Maine”! HA!!

I almost hate to say it, but we just might miss out on mud season this spring! It been a couple of LOVELY February days these last couple days of late March! BBBbbbbbbbrrrrrr!!!

On a quick business note, I finished up a box of items that I was finishing and getting ready for jury. I’m trying to get admitted into a co-op and I had to prep up some items for retail sale… adding hang tags/ packaging etc… So, I go tomorrow to drop off this box. *crossing fingers*

Bugs are coming in fast and furious at this point! So fun to open a box and goodies every day! It’s like your birthday every time the mail comes! Too fun!!

Waiting for spring....

"Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting." -
-- Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss)

On this, my and Dr. Seuss' birthday, I sit and nurse my painful but hopeful new knee and watch yet ANOTHER snowstorm out the windows!

Thick, wet, heavy snow is falling again... for what? The 3rd or 4th week straight?! Perhaps it's been longer than that, I don't know. I've been in an Oxycodone induced coma for almost two weeks now!

This, in some ways was a good thing, but others, not so good. I decided it was time to stop the controlled substances and just go with the Tylenol 3's on Saturday. So I took my last heavy duty med on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning I had a splitting headache, bordering on migraine status. I purged out both ends a few times and then I went back to bed. I had the cold sweats, aches and pains that hadn't been there before, fitful sleep and the weirdest dreams I think I've ever had. I eventually emerged from the dark little cocoon that is our wonderful new bedroom and felt like a new woman! I was CRAVING a cheeseburger like mad and Nancy came to my rescue with Burger King. It tasted like another!! Then we had Pizza Hut for supper!! *happy dance*

Yesterday was a very good day! Friends came over bearing gifts with their cute little puggies, Brutus and Ozzy. Brutus sang Happy Birthday to me! Thanks Brutie!! I love you!!

This morning I had physical therapy and it's with the amazing Dana! He got me through my shoulders and now he's working with me on my knee too!! He put me through my paces but didn't let me overdo! I got bent my knee back to 100 degrees!! Two weeks out!! He was amazed and pleased at how well I'd done on my own. He said it's nearly unheard of for someone to go past 85 degrees this early! I even "rode" the stationary bike for a bit. Really, it was just swinging the pedals back and forth, but it was good, a "good" kind of pain. Wednesday afternoon I get the stitches out and I'll be zooming right along soon afterward!

Boss at PetSmart says I can come in and "work" customer service for an hour or two as soon as I can stand without pain for that long. So, yay!

So, while it's snowing outside, my sweetie has to work 10 hours on my birthday and I'm still in quite a bit of pain, but I'm very hopeful and most assuredly on the downward slope!!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, get well wishes, gifts and encouragement from everyone!!

♥ Nancy ♥
