Two weeks off….for my minimal invasive hysterectomy. Okay, I said it – I had a hysterectomy and even though it was minimal invasive the doctors still say I had a major surgery and need to take it easy. I have one more day after today to recoup. I don’t know what I was expecting but it sure was not that I would have to take one of those serious pain pills the doctor gave me with only one day left of my time off.
Well, truth be told, I most likely overdid it yesterday. I took a slow walk around the block, I folded some clothes, cleaned the kitchen and swept some of the floors. I made sure I took breaks between each activity. I meet me friend for lunch and then we sat outside in the gazebo enjoying the breeze and some mint juleps….no I mean water. I felt like we were ladies of luxury without a care in the world. Later, after our visit, I took my daughter to DSW to look at shoes. I know, I know I am not suppose to be buying things because I am trying to simplify my belongings. I caved in…
New Summer Dress Sandals
These are the shoes that Emily wanted….I hope she does not get blisters on the back of her calves at work today. She thinks I think of the stupidest things.

We then walked around the new grocery store called Fresh Market. I bought some homemade seed bread. I was impressed with the bakery. They had homemade Ezekiel bread but I did not buy any this time because I already had some in the freezer.
I did not realize how much energy all that activity took. When I got home I slept for 2 hours….and paying for it today with the pain pill and lots of rest.
