this morning, and yesterday morning, I put the top down in the convertible and was only driving up and down the driveway, put aerosmith on the stereo and Im sure the neighbors ten houses away heard it also, didnt care, needed some normalcy.....today I actually limped with my walker into the shop, sat on a chair, and cut up all the cardboard boxes and tied them all up for disposal....wow, it actually felt good, a job I normall despise, today felt thrilled to do it. its the little things. Nights are still difficult....seems it all falls apart at night, pain, insomnia, anxiety....dont even know why....but it is just the way it is.
the good news is I have 3 projects lined up for when I can start some light work....a hanging quilt rack for one of elens friends( a gift Im happy to make) , a few cutting boards to hand out to the physical therapy team that works on me, and then Im going to build a troll doorway and windows on a tree in my backyard for decoration. all easy light projects, but enough to ease me back into the shop.
as soon as my leg is strong enough to support me without wavering, Im going to ask the doc if its ok for me to resume woodworking. I might throw in some turning since I kept my lathe and that isnt that difficult either.
I appreciate being able to vent here a bit. I have tons of company, friends, neighbors, family, every day coming over, but I try not to discuss the bad stuff with them
btw, I love the new board look. kudos to you guys.
