This weekend is our anniversary weekend so I am not really here doing my normal Sunday writing – I wrote this on Friday and set it to post at my usual time.  I just wanted to give a quick newsy sort of update.

I did work all week and managed to get through it.  The worst day was Monday – I felt weak all day and it was a stressful day as I returned to find I had a new manager.  By the end of the week things settled down and I am actually feeling better today than I did at the start of the week.

Last Thursday was the four-week mark  and the doctor says I no longer have any lifting restrictions.  I won’t be pouring any concrete anytime soon but it will be nice to get back to normal things like being able to lift a bag of groceries. There are still a few weird pains and twinges.  The doc said it takes 2-3 months before it feels completely normal again.

Last week I mentioned holding myself accountable to getting out and hiking more.  Well, in the name of accountability I’ve been spending time on setting up the hiking web site and we’ve set a date for our next big hike.

Here is the link to what I’ve got so far:  The Reluctant Hiker   It’s just a shell of a website for now but it’s got the basics in place.  Heather took the picture in the header.  She did another one but we liked the symbology of this one.  Let me know what you think.

Well that it’s for for this week.  Heather and I are packing up and heading out for a nice weekend away.

See you all next week.
