getting back to normal weekend.

it's monday morning and guess who made it to work...

THIS GIRL!!! 

never have i ever been more excited to get back to normal and back to a routine (well, kind of- i didn't get to work until 10am haha). 

i'm finally starting to feel like myself again and finally starting to do more normal things. 

although i'm a pretty weak little thing right now.

one full week of laying on the couch doped up on pain meds post surgery can do some serious strength damage. lemme just tell ya.

however, i actually accomplished pretty much all of my goals i set out for the weekend!

i spent all weekend with the boyfriend.

it was so so so nice, people.

we took joy rides through the mountains since it was absolutely gorgeous weather all weekend,
and went to see his parents on saturday.

i got more sleep than usual.

i'm still up every 4 hours to take pain meds (yeah, that part hasn't really changed).

but the pain isn't as sharp nor as prolonged as it was.

so that's progress!!

food? my goodness i have missed food.

i'm not back to eating anything i want, but i am eating a bigger variety of things. 

as long as it's soft and moist i can handle it!

which is good because i want to throw up just thinking about mashed potatoes and apple sauce.

sunday was probably my biggest accomplishment.

i actually made it to asheville to see my niece for her birthday!

her 9 year old self wanted to go shopping with all of her friends, so that's what we did.

of course i didn't make it very long in the mall, but at least i got to see everyone!

and now i'm going to try and make it until 5pm.

happy monday, friends!!

xoxo.
