It felt good to wake up and not have to go to work today. Due to the fact that we didn't stay up that late last night we were able to get up a little bit after 9am. I had no problem sleeping at all and I felt very refreshed when I got up:) I had to get to the bank by 12pm so we decided that today would be a good day for me to go on my first outing since surgery. First we stopped at Dunkin Donut's and got coffee, then we headed to the bank. After the bank we had to stop by the airport to pick up my boyfriends luggage, which was lost during his return flight home. Then we went to Trader Joe's followed by a trip to Target.
I had heard a lot about Trader Joe's but have never actually been in one and I was surprised how awesome it was. They had a lot of nice fruits and vegetables at affordable prices. Also, they had a huge amount of frozen meal selections which all looked very good. We got a bunch of things we really didn't anticipate getting. One of the most unique things we bought was avocados, which as a rule I hate, because they looked great and I thought guacamole would be a nice snack. We also got a watermelon and pomegranate seeds:) I stocked up at Target on some household items I needed such as Fiber One bars for work, soap and paper towels. When we got home it was still early and my boyfriend made the guacamole as well as chopped the watermelon.
The rest of the day was filled with relaxation, including sitting out on the porch for a while and watching some TV. We had spaghetti and meat sauce for dinner, which my boyfriend made. I felt kind of guilty because he did most of the work today but I am still on the mend:( He also took the time to wash his clothes from his trip today....he managed to get it all in one load, which I still find hard to believe! Tonight was the first night since my surgery that I tried beef and so far I feel okay. I didn't have a huge portion, like I usually do, because I was very nervous about seeing how it would effect me.
I'm pretty proud of myself for not over doing it with the house cleaning the past few days. There are a lot of things I'd like to do but I want to give myself time to heal. It's actually pretty incredible how dirty a house can get after only one week of not staying on top of the chores. The most notable thing are the floors, which constantly seem like there's debris on them. When I think about it, I do spend a lot of time cleaning the kitchen floor as well as the rest of the hard wood floors in my house. As soon as I feel up to it I'm going to have to vacuum! Well I'm tired so I'm going to head to bed.
