Eeeeek! A Mouse in the House!

Michael's costume party is this afternoon. It is always interesting to see what Sesame Street or Disney character he will want to be each year. This is the first year for Mickey. He has been Peter Pan, Aladdin, Bert, a scarecrow...(not by choice).... over the years. Well....off to take him to work, so he can have a fun day! =)

Written later:

Michael won a prize for most origional costume! =) He had a good time and said the cookies were good!

Got a lot done outside today. It was pretty windy, but I had to take advantage of the 75°, so got my garden and flower beds cleaned up and took the leaf blower up on the roof and cleaned the gutters. I wasn't sure if I could trust my left arm yet to climb the tower and get over to the roof with the leaf blower, but all went fine. I don't have the "stabbing" in my shoulder like I did a few weeks ago, but hadn't tried pulling myself with my left arm yet either.... Came down and blew off the deck and driveway. I know.....I'll never know I did that by tomorrow, as the sugar maple is really dropping leaves, but it was good to get outside.

I need to spend a good amount of time finishing up a lesson for the ladies next Tues. morning. It is on "How to get your photos from your digital camera to your computer....and beyond". Kristin is going to help me. Most of the time will be spent on just convincing these gals to not keep buying memory cards, but actually print and /or get the photos off of the cards on to disks or in the computer. At the least...take them to Wal-Mart or Walgreens and have them help. We are going to take our scrapbooks to show them all the possibilities down the road....but the main thing...enjoy the photos you have taken.....and keep taking them!! =)

Guys are still working over at SJ's. Michael and I will be having leftovers for supper. Harvest going well, and guys are staying safe and healthy and equipment is holding together...so far.....

I am trying to do 4 sets of exercises a day. I want so bad to make more progress in two of them than I have been doing. One problem is...I still have a lot of pain doing them both and don't push past much. I am trying a new way to do one of them, as my hand gets so sore from using a putter to push on my hand/wrist. Cory helped me get set up with it so it will use the muscles that I was using the other way. I now stand with my arm against the doorway and lean out to stretch my arm back. Really pulls muscles in my neck, too. All I know is....I want my arm back, and am willing to do the work it takes to get it back! =)
