New Day

I lay in bed this morning looking out at the silhouette of trees outside my window. The sky had a spooky white glow. As I lay there, the color began to change. It remained the thick, buttery texture, but now it was orange. Paul was busy in the kitchen making coffee and retrieving the morning paper. When he came inside he called me to come look at the clouds directly over the house. They were amazing. I'm sure my little camera will do them no justice, but I did manage to snap a photo or two. (to post later). Now as I sit typing with my hot cup of coffee at my side, I can hear the rumble of thunder. I love morning like this.

I began painting again. I hadn't been able to paint since I got my new hip. Don't know why...just scared it had disappeared as fast as it came. I managed to get a doggie portrait done. A commissioned piece for her son's Christmas present. Started another little cowboy after that. Having switched computers, I don't have the cable I need to down load photos at the moment... so you will have to wait.

Thursday will be my last day of blood thinners, and Hillcrest Home Health. I'm thinking I might be going back to work then. I am able bodied. Just using the walker to maintain my 50% weight bearing. Hard to do. Getting in bed is still the most difficult thing on my daily routine. But I am a master a using my lasso to lift the ole leg. I think I could drive....but I will follow the doctors instructions, so that everything is perfect.

There is a missing client at MHMR. He is a middle aged man. He wondered away from the group home three days ago. It has been really cold at night and everyone is quite worried. Please keep him in your prayers.
