It was my first day in ages that I didn't have to take The Mister to therapy and look what we had going on all day-again. My neighbor in the front was using our driveway to have three more giant trees cut down. That was the last of them in her backyard. Thank goodness.

Old Friends
Remember me? My poor loom has been pushed into a corner while we made room for all of The Mister's special equipment. I gave her a good dusting off and actually wove a couple of inches on it yesterday morning before we went off to therapy. It felt good.
Another old friend that I spent some time with yesterday was the fall batik quilt. Five more center blocks are now done but I still have a long way to go.
And.....in the next chapter of The Mister's recovery-his first shopping trip. He's still not driving. He tried and he's not comfortable enough with that wonky leg just yet so after therapy we needed a few things from the store so I sent him in. I stayed in the car with Pup who was tired out from her long walk. The Mister's supposed to walk 100 yards a day so he might as well make them useful yards, right? Dad could always manage a cart and cane when I took him shopping with his bad hip so I was sure The Mister would be okay. He was.

Tiny Needle Uh Oh...
The only thing I accomplished on the Cow Pile was the border. All I need is a few more flowers up top and it's a done deal. I wanted it to be done by July and I think it just might be.

Brutus
This is Brutus. It's what The Mister calls his riding mower.
It's a lot of grass to cut but at least, unlike most housework, it stays looking good for at least a few days. I can vacuum and mop a hundred times a day and within minutes it looks like I never touched it.
Yesterday I put my foot down with The Mister. He's been napping all day and then not being able to sleep at night which make him tired all day. I told him he's been training himself to be a permanent invalid with habits like that. I put him to work helping me with the laundry and made him take up some of his old hobbies instead of spending the day on the couch. Getting him back on track isn't going to be easy. He saw what my dad went through when he broke his artificial hip and he's been erring on the side of caution a bit too much. Maybe his upcoming surgeon visit can give him the confidence he needs to rejoin the land of the living.
And a couple of you asked me about the yarn I was using for the socks I am working on. It's Regia's Gargia Color. I went looking for more and came up empty handed but....

Baby Steps
At The Mister's very early PT session yesterday they graduated him from the walker to a cane. Hallelujah. I was so tired of hauling that thing up and down the stairs and in and out of the car. He can also do more for himself now like get up and down and dress and bathe which is a huge load off me.

Hello Kitty
Pup and I have been lucky so far. The weather has been nice enough to be able to hang out in the park while we wait for The Mister. It takes a big chunk out of my day.
And....for those of you who were wondering what is going to become of Rainbow Kitty, the truth is that I have no idea. A pillow, maybe? All I know is no real kitty butt will ever be sitting on him, Whatever he becomes I plan on keeping him safe. I've been working on him so long that he's like an old friend.
