It's been just over a week since my accident. My mom came the first couple of days and then Tuesday I tried to go back to work for half of a day...that was a baaaaaad idea, both physically and emotionally. I realized that I wasn't going to bounce back from this as fast or as easily as I imagined. Dang it for not being super woman.
The next few days tested my patience and positive outlook. I spent the days switching from the couch to the floor to the chair and repeat, I get uncomfortable very quickly these days (makes for great nights too). I've wanted to blog, but haven't known what to write about (there is actually a lot, but it's the actually writing part that always stops me).
I found the below in my drafts as something I started a while ago but never finished. Today is just as good as any, plus I'm feeling extra honest today, which always makes for a good read - now and later.
Making: My body better
Cooking: I wish, I wonder if I can manage some banana muffins...
Drinking: My favorite: water!!
Reading: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and on deck is Elizabeth Smart's new book (thanks for all of the great ideas via facebook!)
Wanting: To feel better and take a little getaway to somewhere new with Thomas.
Looking: At the TV, catching up on Once Upon a Time
Playing: With the idea of dying my hair dark auburn again. I mean, I've already bought the dye...but this neck brace has certainly put a damper on using it
Wasting: Time, but I'm coming to terms that healing is not wasting...right?
Sewing: I wish. It's too intimidating.
Wishing: I had Mary Poppin's cleaning powers and Edward Cullin's quick healing powers
Enjoying: Some quiet, personal time, I guess.
Waiting: For lots of things...my neck sprain to heal, my shoulders to relax, etc...
Liking: All of the cookies, chocolates, and treats that keep showing up at my door. So much for losing weight before the holidays. At least my abs are getting a good workout for compensating for my neck and shoulder muscles.
Wondering: What this next week will bring? How long will it take? Can I be patient that long?
Loving: My niece's halloween costume. I can't stop looking at pictures of her as a fox AND being surrounded by all of the beautiful flower arrangements from beautiful people who love me.
Hoping: My new job is going to be fulfilling
Marveling: At the kindness of God
Needing: A shower...it's one of the hardest things to do right now - so exhausting!!
Smelling: The harvest candle burning
Wearing: Basketball shorts, long sleeved t-shirt, a helpful brace (really, it does help as much as it hinders, I'd rather have it than not.)
Following: New blogs to read, what are your favorites?
Noticing: How blessed I am to have a healthy body, otherwise
Knowing: There is a plan for my life and that I am so, unbelievably blessed!
Thinking: About how exciting Christmas is going to be this year!
Feeling: Tired and sore and blessed
Bookmarking/Pinning: New hair do's and healthy recipes to try
Opening: Sweet "get well" cards, bills, and magazines
Giggling: At ridiculous jokes
Feeling: Optimistic after chatting with friends about possible upcoming changes
