Oh, wait... I forgot - I wasn't on vacation, I'm supposed to be recovering from my gallbladder surgery. Yeah, it really has been that easy of a recovery. I was a little sore (like muscle sore, you know that feeling when you've done too many crunches the day before? That kind of sore) but it was totally manageable. I took it easy for the first few days, resting a lot, per doctors orders. But after the first few days, I was feeling cooped up and restless.
We hosted Thanksgiving which was lots of fun and then by Friday, I convinced my husband that we should go do some shopping. Not the "Traditional" Black Friday shopping where we would have been up and in line freezing our butts off at 3am, but after lunch when those (and by those I mean the ones that are far braver and more organized than me!) shoppers had gone home to pass out, we spent a few hours doing a little shopping of our own.
By Monday this week, I had a long "To-Do" list of all the things I was going to get done. Housework, Phone calls, grocery shopping, etc. Yay for lists and productive weeks! I did make sure to take it easy-ish, though. But it's been such a great week. I got to take my kids to school all week - I never get to do that. I got to go grocery shopping in the morning when there wasn't a ton of other people there too - I was done so quickly, it was amazing. I started working on our Annual Family Newsletter, and Christmas Cards - Proactive? What? That's not usually the "P" word that describes me best. Like I said... Totally awesome. I wish this kind of week would never end.
But sadly, today I had my follow up appointment with my surgeon and was reminded that I must return to work. The good news is that I've healed up nicely, I'm rested, and pain free. The bad news is this week is now coming to an end and Monday is once again a bad word in my vocabulary. Boo :(
