not disappointed at all!

 The new loveseat is quite fine.  It's "fast" furniture, came in a box, wouldn't last through kids jumping on it, but it's lovely, for eighty dollars.  

This is the stock picture from Kohl's.  It's just as nice in real life.  Thing is, it's supposed to replace this:

See how messy it looks?  Old Kitty likes it.  This is still in it's spot, one of these days...in the meantime, the new little couch fits in near my chair, and looks kind of nice on that wall.  So will we get something different for where The Red Couch is?  who knows.  

In other wonderful and exciting news, we booked a campsite for a weekend in August, in the Adirondacks!  Lots of the family are booking sites, we're right near Evelyn and Nate, they got a water site.  Summer seems like a distant memory already, especially today.  It's raining on the metal roof, and it's dark in here.  So grabbing a piece of summer, reserving time away, yay!

Last night was another rough night.  My knee just hurt, especially when fully extended.  I tried to sleep in the guest room, it's a super comfy bed, but nope.  I couldn't fool, pester, or cajole myself into falling to sleep.  At one o'clock, I got up, which...again, sounds easy, but HA.  I did it though, I walker-ed out here, got one Tramadol, a big drink of water, switched out my ice, used the bathroom, and headed back to bed.  Well.  Same thing, even with the pain pill.  It just ached and hurt, down the back, up the front, in the middle, it all took turns.  I finally got up and came out here, switched the ice, used the bathroom, ect.  I think I slept for two hours in my chair, woke up at 6:15,...switched the ice, used the bathroom...at 7:15, Paul was up and Sunny's feet were tap tapping across the floors.  I fell back to sleep until 7:45, woke up again, and gave up.  

So tired doesn't begin to describe it.  I called the ortho office and got a refill of the Tramadol, I think I need them at night, as well as before PT, for a while still.  I was cranky and sore and discouraged this morning, truth be told.  But.  I decided to NOT wallow.  I had my coffee, then did my exercises, didn't push really hard, just went through them, challenged myself a little but not to the point of horrible pain, like in outpatient PT.  Then, iced and elevated, then walked around, then back to my chair with fresh ice.  

Outpatient PT is not fun for me.  Life is filled with things we would rather not do, so I'm trying not to hate it too much.  

Charlotte Claire brought Miss Cam to her dentist appointment this fine morning (no cavities!), then they stopped at Aldi.  They got some pizza dough, and I have a cauliflower pizza in the freezer.  Sonja is coming over with her pizza dough, and Kathryn is coming later and bring some more.  We will have a pizza making night!  I will give constructive criticism.  

I like when they come over, it definitely helps distract from my aches and woes.   :)

It seems it is time to get up and get moving again....bye for now!

Little Miss Sunshine...her face!
