I'm back!
Here is a list of all the things I've done in the last two weeks while I was taking a break:
1. Getting over the worst cold of my life, which began with fever, chills, aches, proceeded to an incredibly stuffy nose, moved on to laryngitis, and ended with a nagging dry cough. I'm finally mostly better, after a month of fighting it off. It's odd, because I hardly ever get sick, but according to my doctor, this is a particularly nasty bug that simply doesn't give up.
2. Throwing a surprise party for my hubby. He turned 40 this year. I took him to the Star Trek movie, which I hereby endorse, and then when he walked in the house he was accosted by ten people yelling surprise and spraying silly string in his face. Almost gave him a coronary, but it was hilarious.
3. Doing a little gardening, as my health has allowed. I'm behind this year due to my cold, but I'm planning on putting in more strawberries, widening my terraced garden and planting tomatoes, salad greens, herbs, and maybe this year cantaloupe. We'll see.
4. Training my puppy, who is slowly recognizing that the way to win Miles's heart is NOT to jump on him, bite his ears, or run full speed under his rear legs and then walking in circles with his hindquarters marooned on her back. He doesn't like that. He really doesn't.
5. Mom came for a visit, and we gave her a lovely Mother's Day brunch, and spent a nice weekend relaxing together. Was great to see her.
6. Brother came for a visit, and he babysat my dogs while Rich and I went to the Colorado Springs area and visited Cave of the Winds, the Royal Gorge with the amazing bridge over it, and Pike's Peak. All in all a wonderful restorative trip, the first trip we've taken in the two years since we moved to Colorado. It was LOOOOOOOONG overdue!
So that's what I've been up to. It's nice to be back everyone!
