Atypical & Awesome, “The Big Chill”

Today is day ten post- surgery. I have returned to work, working a half day Thursday and a full day Friday. I’ve washed my hair twice and I am slowing regaining my range of motion. I still have some restrictions and the “bounce back” has been more like a dribble but we are getting there.

I completed watching the entire series (7 seasons) of Gilmore Girls and am re-watching the early seasons. It has been very “healing” for me. Phillip and I have had lots of sweet down-time together with tv-watching and takeout. We are currently preparing for the big storms about to hit— lots of rain followed by really cold weather over the next few days. Much of the country is anticipating lots of snow- we will see later in the week what makes it down here.

I am avoiding stressors and enjoying candles, the couch, coffee and our cats. I am savoring simplicity and focusing on things that bring calmness to my life.
