1. Today marks the end of my six-week surgery "sabbatical." I was supposed to return to work full-time on Monday; however, things have worked out well for me to teach just one class on Monday and Tuesday of next week. I'll start back full time on Wednesday. That gives me a three-day week for the first week, which is much more manageable for working back into things. I'm thankful for a substitute who is willing to teach two more days, a boss who is agreeable to this arrangement, and also a husband who insisted on my working in gradually.
2. The lady who used to help me with my house occasionally no longer cleans houses; however, she is willing to come next week to help me get it good and clean. That is such a relief. I can't pick up much weight at all, or push a vacuum or mop (what a shame!!) :-) -- and my husband's shoulder is giving him problems, so he can't clean very well either. So I am grateful that this super-duper lady is willing to come help me this time.
3. This week's blanket. Not real thrilled with how the colors turned out; however, it's a good way to use up yarn. I have way, way too much yarn. Acquiring yarn may have turned into an obsession?
4. Caramel apples. My precious aunt sent me some from a store near her home that is known for them. They were delicious.
5. I went with Mike for his orthopedist appt. this morning, and we stopped by a new place for us for breakfast. I had sweet potato pancakes with pecans and cinnamon syrup. Very autumn-like and very good!

That is a good idea, to start work back up gradually. I'm glad the substitute and boss were willing for that. That's great that your former cleaning lady is willing to help again. When I had gallbladder surgery years ago (before it was done laparascopically), and vacuuming was on the list of things not to do, I was puzzled - I never that that required that much exertion. But the first time I tried it post-surgery - wow! You do use your abdominal muscles for that! I had never realized that before!
I'm glad to hear that you are feeling well. Good idea to start slow getting back into things. I love the colors in the blanket! Blues and browns look so nice together. Yes, October goes by too quickly, doesn't it? Enjoy your weekend, Ann.
Ooo, those pancakes sound yummy!
I like the color combo on the blanket. Re: too much yarn. Hmmm, as long as you're using it, you can't have too much yarn :)
I'm glad you are feeling better and getting back into teaching slowly. Have a great week!
Glad things are working out with sub and cleaning lady to give you that extra few days to work back in gradually. Those pancakes sound delicious.
Ann, glad it's going well and that you're able to get back into work gradually and that you have someone to come in and help get everything shipshape.
