Easter, Spring in the northern hemisphere, silliness abounds

 Happy whatever you celebrate today! Easter is about new life and hope no matter what. Spring likewise. And blogger  Barbara is to be thanked for this pagan wheel of the year.

And you see the Easter word origin. I think it means opening, as in weather, the grip of winter (supposedly) relaxing. Anyway, happy day, whatever it means to you.

I think it's a good chance to be silly and cartoonish. In fact I think most times are.

I'm feeling quite important that they've gone to all this trouble to celebrate Hippolyta's arrival. It's odd to feel one of my body parts is a newborn.

Today Handsome Son returns to work, but continues to stay here overnight for a few days.  So this will be interesting, sorting for myself. His shift is early, so he'll be home shortly after noon.  

This house is very convenient for guests, since the second bedroom has its own bathroom you can access without stepping into the hallway, so it's like a little apartment, private.  In fact Handsome Son is revisiting his place where he lived briefly while job hunting after college. 

Plans for the day are mainly about being happy I'm on the other side of the Big Hip Caper, and reading about bees and Botswana. The food I cooked ahead is working out fine, the lasagna reheating nicely in the toaster oven, the soup  good and the quiche better than newly baked. So I'm pretty smug about my brilliant generalship (!)

There's still the usual pain and swelling, you get after surgery, all looks normal to me. So there's that, and I can't say I wasn't warned! It occurs to me that people who may have to get this surgery might be interested in a bit more info. Spring chickens, scroll on by.

I'm writing this lying down, with a mild ache around the hip and lower back. Next time I walk will fix the back. The walking is very tolerable, not the agonizing jolt of pain at every step I was having with Helen. 

After walking and exercise, more ache, but tolerable. My quads burn a bit - I have exercises for that - because all the muscles and tendons were moved aside for the surgery, nothing cut.  So, looking good and I thought you'd be interested. This is Day Three since surgery.

I think I may finally be learning to do things slowly without being wildly impatient at the speed. Takes some of us longer than others.

Happy day, everyone. Just you do you, because you're worth it.
