Yesterday, I packaged seeds in their mailing envelopes for the first time. It may seem like a small thing, but I felt it was a victory of sorts. I’ve been going to rehab three times a week, so between that, exercises at home, and trying <\/em>to get a few normal chores done here at home, it’s become a very busy day! Every day, lately. But I know all the exercises are bound to help my knee heal faster, so I’m trying to do the best I can with them.<\/p>\n

Buffy stays with me all day and night, helping me get well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have to laugh. Our two cats, Mittens and Buffy, have decided they need to take care of me. Buffy sleeps on the foot of the bed and Mittens comes to lay next to my head at night. Sometimes I wake up, just waiting for a major cat fight to erupt, right over my face. But, luckily, so far, that hasn’t happened. In fact, one of them decided I looked hungry. When I woke up, there was the back half of a mouse lying on the floor between the legs of my walker! Ish. Not a pretty sight. I couldn’t reach down far enough to get hold of it to dispose of it, so I kicked it out of the way. Then, I spent the rest of the night hoping one of the cats hadn’t brought it up onto the bed! Luckily, they hadn’t, and Will got rid of it the next morning. Such is life.<\/p>\n

No, these daffodils aren’t blooming here yet. But this photo gives me hope that in a few weeks we’ll see their cheerful faces again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tomorrow, I’m hoping to plant my petunia seeds that I got from Baker Creek. I really can’t wait. But I first have to go to an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon for a checkup at 9 AM. I hope that goes well. Flowers are more fun though! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
