Ever since I started working in education last October, Drew has started to refer to the act of me going to work as "going to school." "Have a good day at school today!" he'll exclaim. Or, "No school for you today; it's a snow day!" It's kind of cute, and it's also kind of fun to think of my job as "going to school." Makes it more enjoyable to me, somehow (hard to imagine why, right?...y'all know I'm one of those people who'd be a perpetual student if I could afford to be...).

Anyway, I was "back at school" this week after my surgery. Monday started off a little rough, and I questioned my readiness to be back in the office only a week after surgery. My incisions and stitches were really bothering me, and the cramping pain that had slowly lessened while I was taking it easy the week before quickly returned as soon as I had to be up and moving around a lot. Luckily, I have made it through the week, with the majority of the pain culminating toward the end of the day, so that I can just go home and take it easy with some pain meds. I'm sure each day that comes will be a little easier. I have my post-op appointment scheduled for mid-March. I'm definitely on the road to healing and moving forward.

No major plans for us this weekend. My parents will be arriving Monday for a brief visit during my Dad's spring break, and we've got tickets to the musical Rent in GR with Becky and Abby next Wednesday night. I can't wait!

Have a good weekend.
