Friday Favorites: The Week I Had My Surgery

Image
We had a pretty quiet week at home.  I tried to squeeze in a few last minute activities before surgery and then spent the rest of the week resting.  
Friday morning I had pre-op testing (you must have a negative test 2-3 days prior to any non-emergency procedures) & bloodwork.  I put a whole turkey breast in the crock pot for dinner and took the squash casserole out of the freezer to go with it. I was home by 10:40 and everyone had done well with school while I was gone.  As soon as Ian and Evan were finished we headed out to tackle some yardwork.  I had 10 plants arrive I had ordered earlier in the summer that I just knew needed to be planted before Monday.  Ian ripped out the old plants in one small garden with the excavator and Evan helped clear them away.  Two of the plants were being planted there and then Ian made small holes spaced 6 feet apart for some of the others lining the side of our yard where it meets the trees. 


After Alec was done school Ian, Alec, and I headed to L…

Friday Favorites: One week Post Op

Image
This is going to be a pretty boring weekly wrap-up/ Friday favorites post since I haven't left the house at all.  Post-op is going pretty well but I am trying so hard not to overdo it.  
I spent most of my day in bed on Friday too still recuperating from my surgery.  Alec headed out to school.  Ian was heading out for a 2 hour driving lesson with his driving instructor.  I spent most of the morning resting, watching TV, reading, and napping.  I did make a card for my husband in the afternoon. 
For dinner we heated up a Sheppard's pie I had in the freezer.  For the first time since Sunday night I joined the family around the table and even managed to lie in the recliner and watch a whole movie with them.I slept right through until 6 am on Saturday morning; skipping my Motrin dose by almost 2 full hours!  I took that as a good sign.  It was such a beautiful day but I spent 90% of it in bed.
After breakfast Ian and my husband headed out to pick up our "new" jet ski (do yo…

Prime Purchases in September

Image
I had been dreading writing this post because I felt like I had ordered so much from Amazon lately but was pleasantly surprised that I did rather well with my spending this month! Now I'm not sharing EVERYTHING I ordered as we did have some things like laundry detergent and vitamins too but I did share what I consider the highlights of our monthly orders.
This cute criss cross knotted front top is cute; I know the description says sweater but it's more like a tunic if you ask me.
I also bought this cute color block tunic and wore it with these fabulous high waisted leggings. 

I also bought myself a pair of these leggings in a nice dark coffee color because I loved that they had a pocket built in which will come in so handy when we're out hiking! 

I bought the whole set of March graphic novels for Evan and while he is only part of the way through book one he is really enjoying this series.  I love that I can count it as both reading and history in one! Ian was ready for the nex…
