Good morning cherries. Enjoy that snow (if y'all like it). We're in the 80s today until a front blow thru, dropping temps to the 40s tomorrow.

I'm back at my laptop, sitting in the recliner today. DH wasn't all too happy that I spent 4 hrs at my office desk on Monday, which wore me out (no pain though). He also wasn't happy that I knocked it down yesterday to 2 hrs at my office desk. I was doing okay but forgot to take my pain medicine in the afternoon as I wasn't in pain. My SIL and one of DH's co-workers came over because it's now Wesley's turn to get enrolled in school. DH's co-worker had to notarize it. Once they left, I was kind of in pain...and took 1/2 of pain med, then showered. DH worked late and I can tell he's a little stressed from work. I feel bad because he has to do some extra things around the house now too with my restrictions.

Anyways....woke up super early this morning since DH had to be out the door by 6am for work. I still need help feeding the dogs, so we did that and he left. I relaxed with coffee and Netflix and then tried moving to my office. Thinking I could do maybe an hour....but lasted 30 minutes. I'm kind of disappointed...but like DH keeps reminding me...it's only been 9 days since I had major surgery, and 8 days since I've been home. My body is trying to recover. I'm not super woman and I need to be kind and gentle to myself. Same advice I give others...lol....I just need to learn to take my own advice regarding myself. And yes, I'm aware...I'm stubborn.

Hope y'all have a great day.

Relax and give yourself a few more days!  Girl, you need to rest! 

Thank you Vicki. I'm learing. Today I let my body tell me what to do and ended up taking a 2-hr nap. 

Oh good to hear!!  Been there and rest is the best!

Sorry you are in pain. I must have totally missed that you had surgery. Sending prayers your way.

Hey Cherries. Woke up to a gorgeous winter wonderland this morning. The trees look so beautiful totally concerned in snow. Unfortunately our temps are going to be rising and tonight it is going to rain all night. So all this pretty will wash away.

Going to be working on finishing up my house project today. I need to get it done and everything put away before my cleaning ladies get here later this afternoon. Then I can relax and maybe digi scrap while they are here.

Have a great day Cherries.

Proud of you for starting house projects AND FINISHING them Barb!! Lol not something that it's easy to do sometimes  
I hope you have a great day!

Lo I JUST realized that I'm replying to yesterday's scrap a day I need to catch up!

[Jolly Holly Scraps]

We also woke up to pretty snow, probably less than you. I've already been out to the grocery store and it was pretty warm out for snow so I assume it will melt here as well.

It is pretty warm in my house for some reason so I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt in my craft room. Here's a layout I just uploaded. I don't do too much 12x12 these days, and this one was very fun except the 2 snowflakes in the upper right are texture paste and loose glitter which I didn't anticipate containing very well, so I will have glitter on everything for a while.

Wonderful layout, Louise! (I also make glittery messes sometimes! )

We got snow too...about 3-4 inches!  So pretty but it's melting already as the temp rises.  DH cleaned the driveway and I did the walk and porch.  Needed to get it cleaned off as we are supposed to have sleet and freezing rain tonight.  Then, it would be impossible to clean.  Did a bit of cleaning up around the house and now I'm having a banana shake before heading to my craft space.  I need to clean up there for sure.  Got all of the 31 totes purged and the remaining organized.  Gheez...there were so many totes! 

Hey that's AWESOME that you're got so MANY totes purged, Vicki!! I have to admit I'm looking forward to purging more things from my home - it makes the home feel less stuffy or something We need it sometimes!

Oh goodness, yes, definitely missed that. Glad you are recovering and we are very similar in the "I can do it all" mentality. Please be gentle with yourself and only do what you can. Will keep you in my prayers.
