Hi and thank you all so much for all the love heal

Hi and thank you all so much for all the love healing you’ve been sending in. I’m still feeling like hot buttered garbage, but still much better than I’d been feeling at this time Tuesday.

Surprise appendectomies are not a great time. But I had great ER and OR
teams. Thanks @spectrumhealth and I’m grateful for for their help and humor.

Welp, the ER is definitely not where I planned on spending my husband’s birthday with him. But here we are. Waiting for the surgeon to decide when they’re removing my appendix.

0/10: Do not recommend.

There’s something so satisfying about restoring

There’s something so satisfying about restoring old furniture to its former glory.

My mom picked up this buffet from FB Marketplace for $40. It was black with dirt that had basically welded itself to the ancient furniture wax. (Before pic at end. Though I wish I would have taken a photo before I started scrubbing the top.)

She decided that she didn’t want it and gave it to my sister and @itsvictoriatime for extra storage in their new place. So, I scrubbed (and scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed) and sanded, stained, and shellacked it, and today, it looks like this!

We delivered it last night, and it’s right at home in their dining room. I know it’s gauche to say, but I’m really, really proud of how this turned out. 😊

A little 70s Spoopy Season #tbt - me, my brother, Tim, my dad, his three brothers, and their dad. And our *very* simple dog, Lucas. It’s weird to think that it’s just me and Tim left, now.

Willow aka the Dowager Duchess would wish you a Happy Caturday, but she’s very busy being furious that I got up this morning instead of staying in bed and petting her.

I did it!!!

My sister and @itsvictoriatime ‘s dining room set is FINISHED!!! It’s been stripped, sanded, stained, reupholstered, and moved into their house!!!

They picked this stunning Art Deco fabric from @spoonflower designer, @thewellingtonboot — her designs are gorgeous! And the performance linen was great to work with.

The last two photos are the before pics. I’m in love with how it turned out!

A few weeks ago, I finally got around to making making some blackout curtains for our bedroom. And in the interest of reducing and reusing, I lined them with an old flannel flat sheet whose bottom sheet had worn out, and it worked perfectly.

Look at my gorgeous luna hibiscus that just bloomed! I picked it up from @garzapottingshed a few weekends ago.

If you’re in the Grand Rapids area, you should totally check him out. He grows everything from seeds, and his plants are all so gorgeous! Plus he’s super nice and knowledgeable.

Look at this sweet boy! I went to visit my girl, @kelsjsheeran , today, and in the middle of my damn hot flash, Maverick decided I wasn’t quite hot and sweaty enough, so he thoughtfully turned himself into a scarf for me.

But hot flash or no, I can’t say no to his precious face or his motorboat purrs.

Tonight, I made French onion mushroom soup with homemade bread for croutons and topped with smoked Gruyere, and it’s divine!

I had an awesome morning. I went to Gaia Cafe for breakfast with my forever friend, @tojuliecusic — we haven’t seen each other since before lockdown, and that is too damn long!!! So, we’re doing it again next month. 😊

I had a very yummy green goddess smoothie and a Greek omelet. They were perfection.

My amazing niece will be pulling her first bridesm

My amazing niece will be pulling her first bridesmaid duty tomorrow, and I altered her dress for her yesterday. When she got fitted, it was off season for her sports (wrestling, water polo, and swimming) and no one took into account how muscular this chicklet’s back gets when she starts training.

We could get the dress zipped, but it was suuuuuuuuuper uncomfortable. So I added a bit of corset lacing in the back.

I still can’t believe I found a perfect match for thread and ribbon! Plus I got to spend a wonderful evening hanging out with my girlie.

Went to the Yassou Greek Festival tonight with my sister, her girl, an old friend and a new friend. I got a gyro, spanakopita, saganaki, and baklava, and OMG IT WAS SO FREAKING DELICIOUS.

Better still? I was only able to eat half, so I’ll have leftovers this weekend.

An observation about Long Haul Covid Brain: Whil

An observation about Long Haul Covid Brain:

While I was journaling today, I was have a little more trouble organizing my thoughts than I usually do when I sit down to write, and I realized that trying to find the words I’m looking for post-covid is a lot like coming home to discover that someone (with a *highly* passive-aggressive bent) cleaned my house while I was out. It seems okay on the surface, but I can’t find where they put a goddamn thing, and I’m pretty sure they straight up threw out a bunch of stuff I needed.

I miss my brain’s old housekeeper.

*grumble grumble grumble*
