Back to work

This past week was my 2nd full week back to work.  The first week it took some major adjustment but we are back in our routine now.  I was hoping this past week would be my last week of therapy because it has been 6 weeks, but I didn’t get that lucky.  I am still not walking 100 % compleatly normal.  I still have more pain then I think I should.  My range of motion is not where it should be, also my foot seems to be really stiff when I get up and at first until it loosens up I am limping.  I have a check up on Tuesday, Valentines Day :) I will see then what the Dr. has to say.  I am at least hoping I can come out of the brace.  Although today when getting ready for my cousin’s bridal shower I needed to look cute, and the brace didn’t play into the cuteness, so I ditched it.  I ended up wearing a pair of boots almost up to right below my knees.  My foot felt surprisingly well in them. 

In other news in the Foard household, we finished a couple more projects and I have a couple more in mind!  I also took my first beading class and made a necklace. 

(From left to right) Initial frame wreath, my 1st necklace I’ve made, Valentines Card with a crayon heart, it reads have a colorful Valentines Day.  The fourth picture is a dressed we  (ok mostly my mom) re-did with baskets in the top.  Of course the idea was from pinterest, and no I didn’t take before pictures, and yes I am kicking my self in the butt.  The last picture is hopefully a soon to be future project.  Its glass tile I plan to put up in the kitchen as a black splash.  I am not sure when I will get around to it seeing I have a mile long list of projects I want to do around the house. 

The biggest project I want to do is closing off part of the living room and making it a 4th bedroom.  I would use it for a craft/guest room.  I am still a little unsure because it is such a big project but I like the idea a lot.  The other project it to paint my master bath cabinets black, along with putting a trim around the big mirror.  I guess with all my ideas I better get started on some of these projects.
