It’s hard to believe that it was only one week ago today that we found out the awful news and spent the day in the ER. I feel like months have passed since then. Maybe I just feel that much older.
I took (or was given, I should say), this entire week to myself to rest and recuperate. My physical recovery is going well which has been a pleasant but welcome surprise. I’d say that’s helped with the emotional recovery too. Since I haven’t experienced too much pain, I’ve been able to do those things that make me feel like me. I baked. Finally! I haven’t baked in weeks. (More on that soon.) I’ve been reading. I finally resolved to make some real progress on Anna Karenina, which I’ve been reading since last summer. I’ve been watching cooking shows. I’ve been tidying up. I’ve been nesting.
Today I even left the house which was a BIG STEP. I went to the HomeGoods store and picked up some little gems for our office. I even found a $20 bill in the parking lot! Then I went to the grocery store and bought what I needed to make homemade chicken stock, something I’ve always wanted to do. And I’m back to regular blogging. That feels good too.
Anyways, we’re not ready to do a big reveal of the office yet but here’s my little corner of the desk. Andreas turned that old, giant Bombay bottle I had into a lamp. More of the office to come soon.
More of everything to come soon.
Love that lamp, so cool! I want to turn an old book into a clock. But its just another project on hold until after W Day.
Glad to hear you’re doing better. You seem like a very strong person and I know you can make it through this!
Adorable office. Keep nesting. When the time is right everything will work out…it did for my mom…
