Just over three weeks until I head north for a long weekend to visit Rachel and friends. I think the last time I had an extended weekend away, alone, was the last time I visited Rach in Tacoma, July 2023. Long overdue for some me time. This time I get to see SLC during autumn. I'm so excited! 😊

For the first time since early May, I can open my bedroom window and let in cool, fresh, rain-scented air. It's lovely. I hope we have more storms pass through tonight.

Long overdue hair cuts this afternoon. About 4-5" off for me. My 16 yo donated between 13-14" of her hair. ❤️ Also, my stylist asked if my hair color was natural, and when I said yes, she said, "Oh you suck. I don't see any gray." There's a little bit. I thank my daughter for it. ;)

Rough week. However, a friend & I agreed that "setbacks" can actually shift into strengths. I'm grateful my therapist pushes me & makes me more curious about the possibilities. Tonight I walked barefoot and without assistance for the first time since May 24th. Don't make fun of my hobbit legs.

I overworked myself yesterday and today while working in the yard, shoveling rocks, exercising, and just enjoying my freedom while walking a bit. Might be paying for it tonight. But check out the lovely new nightgown I got on clearance! It's lightweight and comfortable. I love it! 🥰

Super awesome Saturday! I felt stiff early this morning, but I feel great now. Walking and DANCING (horribly) around the kitchen while fixing a veggie omelette. Dancing! I'm actually a bit emotional about it all. In fact, I'm gonna let myself cut loose when I go out to give water to the birds. 😭

I knew today could be challenging but I still kept getting lost in the heaviness of 9/11 all day long. I still ache for the thousands of lives lost and the thousands more who have suffered from the loss and horrific fallout since then. My heart was with you then and remains so now. ❤️

GOAL MET. I'm walking at home and up and down our long hallway at work without crutches. I'll likely use a cane for balance the next week or so, but I'M WALKING!! WALKING. I can walk again. 😁

Down to using one crutch, friends. My goal was to walk without them by the end of the month, but my secret goal was to walk without them after two weeks. Saturday will be two weeks. Even if I don't hit that goal, I'm going to be so close. Let's goooo

Took another trip around the block today and then went up and down the lowest step in the pool. It's only around 5 inches, but I did it. Step up, turn around, step down. Walk in the pool, swim laps, repeat stairs. My foot and ankle don't like me much, but that's okay. They haven't for decades now.

Too windy to swim, so I thought it would be a good day to create terrible art and watch Doctor Who. This reminds me of the small islands scattered along the coast as we took the ferry from Helsinki out to Suomenlinna. Such a beautiful day. My first sketch since 5/17, right before my injury. 😊

PT update: rode the recumbent bike and did leg presses barefoot to get used to bearing more weight. They did manual therapy and said my joints are surprisingly fluid, so my hard work is paying off as is my nerve densensitazion. And, for the first time in fifteen weeks, I slept with my boot off. 😊

We should have more breakfast dates. Meet at a quirky cafe, have coffee and pancakes or an omelette and build a little flower Lego set together. Go for a walk in a park. Have a second breakfast and then browse a used bookstore. Stop for elevenses. Go on a quest. Stuff.

I'm feeling it today. I pushed it *maybe* too much over the weekend. After PT exercises and not using my lil knee scooter today, my foot is on fire. So, I'm giving it a rest while my stylist tends to my hair. "You need some work, ma chérie. I help. A little preen here, a little preen there..."

Tonight’s moonrise over Seattle was filtered through layers of smoke and haze, giving the moon that deep orange glow as it climbed behind the Space Needle. The clouds drifting across it made the whole scene feel especially dramatic Sunday night.
