today is Wednesday....

...and I'll cry if I want to.  :). This fine day, I have a tooth infection.  It's a molar that needs to be pulled, and it's not a new story.  The dentist gave me antibiotics a few years back, it cleared it up, he said I could ruminate on the tooth, it wasn't an emergency to pull it since the antibiotics worked so well.  I have had no issues with it for almost two years, then this week...it flared up again.  So, I called the dentist and wrangled a script for amoxicillin, which does NOT agree with my tummy.  So I ordered some probiotics from Amazon, which should come tomorrow.  See, I have an exciting life!  (I'm telling you, one single dose and I was running down the hall, TMI!)

Okay.  not running.  limping.

I went to PT today.  It was a very snowy day, so I wimped out on going to the pool.  I would have had to drive myself, park the car, hobble across the parking lot, then up the big sidewalk...and when it's snowy and icy, well, nope.  Sometimes it's impossible to get a good parking spot too.

So I stayed home, then went to PT.  It was the usual, I measured right around 120, which if fine, the leg is straight, I did all the exercises, and walked all around without the cane.  Now, this is what I was absolutely dreaming of a few months ago, remember?  It's wobbly and not smooth at all, and sometimes that new knee just give out a little, and the old knee stiffens up and creaks, but...I can do it.  I need to practice practice practice, and keep doing my exercises.  And:  be thankful!!!!  I hate that streak of pessimism!  The glass shall be half full, and stay that way!  It shall runneth over!  I am where I am!  

I vacuumed today.  Now, that may not seem like much.  But it IS much.  Not too long ago, I was all tangled up with the walker and the cord, and had to vacuum in like three small sessions.  Today, I did part of it without using the cane!  It's still more challenging than it used to be, but I can do it.  Enough with the dissatisfaction, right?  

There was also laundry today, two loads...I washed some dishes, made dinner:  pulled pork nachos.  I helped Camille make the vanilla cake.  Well, she did all the work...it looks lovely, and is in the freezer.  We will frost it/decorate it sometime for Sunday's baby shower for Jonathan and his wife Rosi. They are having a baby girl in the beginning of April, grandchild #19!   I'm also going to make some mini brownie bites, which we'll decorate prettily.  

Miss Char did an order pick up for me today, after her classes.  It's so super easy!  Now we have stew beef, and burger, and mini M&M's. Crackers and cheese and chips and dip and mini peppers and mini carrots, for the shower Sunday.  

Yesterday, Molly came over with little Denzel, who is two and a half.  He had a lot of fun dumping out all the toys and eating a few treats from the candy dishes.  I didn't even think to take pictures!  He is SO cute.  Then Kathryn came in with Achilles, Rhys, Jamie, Ellis.  How lucky am I?

Ah well.  You have a nice evening!!!
