Summer Break

 

So we kinda did a thing to start off summer break.  With the coming heat, the room we were in just gets too hot.  Gotta love the western facing windows.  We moved our bedroom into the master bedroom of the house.  This was my parent's room for almost 47 years. This was a hard move for me.  I know that I wasn't going to arrange it the same way they had.  I just couldn't.  It's been hard to be in there.  The first couple of weeks, I'm sure I didn't sleep at all.  Those pink, mauve, taupe, whatever you want to call it is awful.  This room will be painted.  For now, we deal with it.  I will gradually figure out how to make this room our room and not mom & dad's.  

We had to move the bedrooms in one weekend so that it would be done before I had shoulder surgery.  It's a long recovery process.  There will be lots of therapy and it will be months before I'm 100%.  The pain immediately after was so much less than it was going in, so it is totally worth it to me.  The hardest part is the staying as immobile as possible.  Especially when the dogs want on your lap and in your face.  I'm not, nor have I ever been all that good at sitting still for any length of time.  I have streamed all of my favorite shows and movies and now I'm starting over.  I wanted to wait for summer break so that I wouldn't miss any school or have any issues.  I live in Texas...  Not exactly my brightest idea, but summer is really the only time of year that I will have a break long enough.  Either the heat or sitting still is going to be the death of me.  This is going to be worth it.  This is going to be a very long summer.
