April 2025 Leftovers

I put a coin in the return slot for someone to find.

The little one I care for is learning to pump!

New mural in the village

New Sidewalk Markings

 

Some people were walking around marking uneven bits of the sidewalk.

They were not concerned about where our driveway meets the sidewalk and is uneven, but that is not surprising.

The did mark the path from the sidewalk to the street.

Oopsie (or oopies, as my little one says)

I Don't Understand

 

Scorigami is a new word for me

Belated Holiday Post

 Don't you just love April Fool's Day?

The health club was offering classes like how to relax by the pool. Did you know Johns Hopkins is joining the Ivy League? Hat tip to A for that one.

The connections puzzle was entertaining.

My very favorite was WorLdle.

Guess the flag

Humor is healthy!

Menisectomy

It was dark and I told myself to be careful on the step and I did not listen to myself.

 

I ended up in urgent care and learned nothing was torn or broken.

I had all sorts of physical therapy.

I eventually had an MRI, which showed a flap on my meniscus. A flap can get caught and is often removed, which was the recommendation.

I was feeling fine so it was a little hard to open my mind to surgery, but I was optimistic it was the right choice in the long run.

all cleaned up

One day after surgery,
after the anesthesia had worn off

Eight days after surgery I went for a teeny tiny bike ride.

I just had my last visit with the surgeon. Everything looks great and as long as I keep doing what the physical therapist says to do, I am free to go. I have two more weeks of increased time on the elliptical machine and then I'll do a trial run. The days are longer, but I carry a light when I walk in the dark.

A Few Things That Made Me Smile Today

no art, but the easel was left behind, as requested
Leave the easel
Hello friend!
Take some art,
Bring some art...
Leave the easel for the next art! 

March Leftovers 2025

 

Took a friend to urgent care and thought these
chairs looked like they had virus upholstery.

My little one loves to shell peas even if she doesn't like to eat them.

She and her family went to Taliesin West and brought
me a mini puzzle with a note on the other side.

Not sure why I brought back some plants and a pot from the give-a-plant, take-a-plant event at the library, but they are still alive so far.
