1.  Hey hey people, welcome to Friday!

2.  I’m sure you welcomed Friday earlier but here we are for another round.

3.  Whoop whoop.

4.  Had my third post-op visit this week and there’s news.

5.  Good news: I’m right on track with my healing so yay me!

6.  Bad news: I have 2-3 more weeks in this recovery shoe full time.

7.  Good news: My swelling looks good.

8.  Bad news: We’re heading to the beach next week and being on sand is a hard no.

9.  Good news: Only packing right foot shoes dramatically cuts my luggage weight.

10.  Bad news: I’m drawing an entire blank on what I could wear to dinners besides a running shoe.

11.  Good news: Comfort is king.

12.  Bad news: Apparently a healing foot will burn to a crisp so if I drag my butt to a pool I have to slather this thing in high potency sunscreen.

13.  Good news: I could wrap one of my SPF swim shirts around it. That should be safe.

14.  Bad news: Getting into the actual pool sounds not smart so I guess I’ll just be hot.

15.  Good news: I can look at the ocean and feel the breeze (fingers crossed for breeze) and relax so it’s all good.

16.  Bonus points for early boarding because I’m slower than a snail and nobody wants that when they’re just trying to find an overhead bin.

17.  Look at me being good news heavy. I’ve got a few more I didn’t even mention!

18.  BrightSide will be so proud.

19.  The girl kitty has finally made peace with my currently weird footwear.

20.  That may have something to do with the fact that I’m not clomping around in a giant terminator boot.

21.  Either way she’s found her way back to my lap.

22.  She’s even happier when I sit in the recliner so she can curl up next to me.

23.  Alrighty then, enough foot surgery and Mittens talk.

24.  What else, what else.

25.  We’re five days out from Christmas, people, it’s crunch time.

26.  Have I wrapped even a single present? Nope.

26.  To be fair the wrapping paper is in the attic and I don’t want to do those stairs but still. Ugh.

27.  I don’t even have all the presents I need to wrap.

28.  Which means one might argue the point why am I worried now about gift wrap so…

29.  I’m fine, we’re fine, it’ll all be fine.

30.  Have I told you about our cat ornaments?

31.  No, I haven’t made kitty name ornaments to hang on our tree.

32.  Though that might sound more normal in a second.

33.  I have two ornaments earmarked for hunting.

34.  They’re poofy, squishy, round bottomed ornaments perfect for fierce feline hunters.

35.  Mittens’ favorite is a stuffed angel while Seven leans toward the reindeer.

36.  I swapped out their metal hooks for plastic once I realized the kitties were so invested in snatching them off the tree.

37.  Now I hang them on the lower branches within reach of murderous kitty paws.

38.  The look my son gave me as I tried to tell him how to rehang the angel…

39.  There was eye rolling involved but whatever, it makes me happy.

40.  And now it’s Friday afternoon. May your weekend be filled with joy in whatever form you prefer.
