It's tricky; I'm very used to being independent and self-sufficient. But I'm slowly figuring out ways to loosen up my death grip on the reins.
It sounds like you have a very good plan in place. I know it is hard to let others do for you, but your focus has to be on recovery, and doing too much can slow you down.
The stained glass kaleidoscope class is Saturday
That sound so interesting! I can't wait to see what you create.
So... weekend plans?
This afternoon I do the mani/pedi/leg wax treatment with my beloved SIL. She spoils me so. I'm thinking French because I am feeling light and Spring-like. I have a pale blue currently, which is nice, but I don't like it on my toes. My building has a Luau planned for tomorrow as a meet and greet social event. I'm looking forward to it, other than the deciding what to wear part. I think I am going with a tropical floral spaghetti strap dress, with pockets, because I care much more about comfort in an outdoor beachside activity than I do about people checking out my arm flab. Then Sunday my cousin and partner arrive for an undetermined amount of time. She has to fly back for work, maybe Wednesday, but he says he is staying until I kick him out. Which would never happen because we love his company. So today, cleaning all the things!!! (Why do I have pets? They really do make a mess.)
Tons of ~ma Epic.
School vacation has not gone according to plan. ltc was sick and missed going to my in-laws and instead of a couple days of freedom I have had my kid clinging to me 24/7. She’s finally better, and we were supposed to see vw and Stitch for Stitch’s birthday tomorrow but now Stitch is sick. Practically ever big plan we’ve had since Thanksgiving has been canceled due to illness.
I'm sorry, sj. I know how much the girls love getting together.
Why do I have pets? They really do make a mess.
I ask this a lot. It's a good thing they are so cute.
Aw, that's a shame, sj.
Laura, that sounds delightful -- both the spa day and the visitors.
I was supposed to have dinner with friends Sunday night, but one had to fly home for a funeral, unfortunately. It's for a birthday, so we're going to reschedule the whole thing, which is fine.
Matt starts his class at the Theatre Lab tomorrow, which is awesome in it's own right and also gives me three hours to myself + travel time + he may have lunch after with our friend Dave, so... peeps, the place to myself for hours and hours! It just never happens, what with both of us working from home. I am practically giddy. I have no idea what I'll do, but... MINE ALL MINE, WHEEEEEE!
Ahem. No other plans except dinner out tonight at a new Thai place.

Whee! Yes, with both of us at home all day it is a good thing that he does basketball, and then I go north when it gets too hot, giving us both space. Solitude can be a treat.
The sapphire is set horizontally, so I was thinking a trillion cut shape. I'm bad on sizes, so I can confidently say I don't know at this point. (Wow, that picture is from 10 years ago; comparing it with today, that ring really really needs to be related.)
Yeah, you'll want to take it to your jeweler to discuss what the options are.
Exciting, Steph! I look forward to hearing details and seeing peektures.
Now I'm excited to be going to dinner. Good start to the weekend.
Timelies all!
I carried over the maximum amount of annual leave from last year, so I talked to my supervisor about taking time off on a regular basis through the year.(To prevent the end-of-year scramble to use the use-or-lose leave) Yesterday she said "How about tomorrow?" and I took today off. Got my emissions inspection done. (passed)
Only scheduled thing for this weekend is going up to visit Mr. S on Sunday.
