Cleaning up a wound is not my favorite thing to do, but I've had to do plenty of it since Mike's surgery.  I'm hoping that my being his nurse ends quickly!

It's not much fun when you try a new recipe and it turns out to be a bust.  Dinner took an hour to prepare and was definitely not worth it...

This week I made it out for a walk before going to work.  It's too warm in the evenings, but it's nice and cool in the mornings.

My friend Zennie surprised me with some goodies this week, so I decided to reciprocate with a home-made thank you card and some current favorites of my own:

Life seems like a crazy blur lately.  Today I had to deal with kids that decided to act up after having to be cooped up due to a rainy day schedule.  On top of that, Mike decided to mess with his stitches and cause even more of a clean-up.   Plus, the thought of packing up and moving out is really starting to hit me as the month draws to an end.  Even so, it was nice to see family at my dad's birthday party tonight and forget about everything for a bit.  Happy Birthday, Dad!

I've been enjoying some Vanilla Biscotti flavored coffee in the mornings courtesy of my friend, Zennie.  It has also been nice to relax after work this week and read the book she gave me (which I finished early this morning).  It's much more relaxing than coming home and watching the news ;)
