Progress
So, I’m feeling kinda better today, which is good. Housecleaning is underway, and boy is there lots to do. Good thing I am a great overseer. 
My honey is coming home tonight, which is great.
I kinda feel okay now, even better than yesterday, depsite running aroudn, being tired and being awake for two hours in the wee bit of twilight. I promise that I am not overdoing it, and am going slow and stopping when things feel all twingy.
It’s really weird - you wouldn’t think that a “minor” procedure would know you down so much, but it does. It’s only considered minor because the doctor doesn’t have to open you up first. It kinda felt like childbirth, without any of the good parts. My insides are still weirded out, probably some sort of trauma response I’m guessing.
Anyway! Onto the fun stuff. I’m dumping all in one scattered post or I’d make 3 or 4 seperate ones.
Salvation Army haul:
- two vintage dresses
- two vintage nightgowns
- 6 books
- a game and storybook for Emma
- shirt for Sarah
- two retro bathing suits for Meaghan. And they FIT.
Grand total $11.
Library haul:
- paid my fine. Oops. Ah well, I figure it’s for a good cause. At least they’ve had a ton of new books show up.
- grabbed a YA novel for Sarah since they all waited in the van.
- 6 handstamp romance novels, 3 purple covers, 3 red 
- a book on forensics
- a book on beading
- a book on blogging, which I was surprised to see
- a canadian humour novel
- a couple other mass market paperbacks, one chick lit for sure
I think that was it. Two bags, but I didn’t have to bend over to lift them, so it was okay. It should last me a week or two.
I also shuffled some boxes around in the attic last night, looking for stuff, but I got Sarah to lug some downstairs for me. I’m getting her to lug a bunch back UP the stairs today, after we’ve sorted stuff out. I thought I would feel worse, but overnight I only had weird twinges, and today I feel much more recovered, so it can’t have been that bad.
I think I’m gonna go have a nap again though.

Napping is good. Anytime. And I empathize with the library fines. Tigger had one for over $13 yesterday. We are in there every week. How did we miss that?!
We need to get into the habit of going to the thrift shop regularly. I got tigger to make a little book of stuff she liked that we might be able to make or modify from stuff in thrift shops. So we have lots of ideas of what to look for. We just need to get out there.

I love going thrift-store shopping! If only I could get my kids to like it. Especially the boy. He makes any shopping unbearable.

Man, the blogging books have hit the thrift store already? Tossed right on top of the piles of granny square ponchos? It’s all over for us! Sounds like a great haul….we have a serious lack of thrift in our neighborhood, which necessitates a long drive. We’re overdue. Glad you are back on your feet!
