TWiP: Recuperation

I haven’t been out of the house since Wednesday, which is kind of a shame because it looks like it might have been perfect sweater-wearing weather. Goodness knows I have a pile of sweaters that have been waiting patiently for me to get back to them since April, not to mention a couple of new ones.

I had minor surgery a few days ago, and I’m at a point now where I have to decide between milking this recovery phase a little bit longer, or throwing myself back into Real Life (TM). I suspect I will choose a compromise between the two.

The truth is, general anesthesia really throws me for a loop. I feel terribly nauseous for the first few hours. It’s a relief when that passes, but it still takes me a few days to stop feeling tired and vaguely ill.

I think I will venture out this morning. Run a few errands. Have a friendly barista make me a soy pumpkin spice latte…

Yep, that sounds like a great start to me! ☕🍁🎃

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the photos I shot for Project 365 (one image each day for all of 2016), plus some snapshots I posted on Instagram during the previous week.

Ready? Cast your mind back to this time last week…

Saturday

365 📷: 2016 268/366 – We visited my Dad for his birthday ♥ [Taken at my parents’ house.]

Sunday

365 📷: 2016 269/366 – Neil and I drove around this afternoon looking for a farm that had apple cider. At our third stop we found the cider, and some friendly chickens. [Taken at Lombardo Farms.]

Monday

365 📷: 2016 270/366 – I like buying flowers because it forces me to clean off the table. That usually leads to vacuuming the rug, and cleaning up the rest of the room. Sometimes I light a candle, too. $6 well spent, I’d say.

Tuesday

365 📷: 2016 271/366 – My high-schooler came home with a congested head and a fever today. He got a little medicine and a long nap, and he’s already feeling much better.

Wednesday

365 📱: 2016 272/366 – I’m having some minor throat surgery on this lovely Wednesday. Speaking of lovely, this is my wardrobe for the next few hours. Bonus: I get to keep the socks. [Taken at the Surgical Center.]

Thursday

365 📷: 2016 273/366 – Painkillers, vitamins, and antibiotics: breakfast of champions ☺

Friday

365 📷: 2016 274/366 – Hot apple cider instead of coffee this morning. I wish I still had a few bags of mulling spices around, but I don’t. I sprinkled a little ginger on top, and that was nice, too.

Thanks for taking a peek at this week’s photos! If you want to see this stuff as it happens, please feel free to follow me on Flickr and/or Instagram.

I may already have plans to blog about some of these things in greater detail over the coming week, but be sure to leave a comment if there’s something in particular you want to know about!
