Project 366 {WEEK 38}

9/25/2016

Laying with my neck in traction, a bit chilly, counting ceiling tiles; 5, 10, light fixture, 15...wondering how the heck I ended up here.

My husband laughed and made a few jokes when I told him, my mom seemed overly nervous for me and I just felt anxious as I waited a week for my first treatment. Traction has somehow earned itself a pretty negative stigma over the years, (picture hospital beds and various body parts rigged up to strange contraptions), so honestly I was expecting the worst.

I'm happy to report that other than looking a little awkward, it's surprisingly relaxing and feels like Heaven on my achy neck. I only wish I had my headphones along so that I wouldn't have overheard another patient candidly discussing various, um, restroom habits from the other side of the room...
TMI sir, T - M - I.

Anyway, back to those ceiling tiles...20, air vent, 25, another light fixture...

Day 262 {Pleasure} - In Secret Kept

"The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed." -Bronte

Day 263 {What I Wore} - She Wears an Apron

Armed with an apron and a whisk...Watch out oven mitts, I'm coming for you next!

Day 264 {Free Choice} - Midnight Serenade

"Words, from a thousand miles away, at a lonely time of day, Leave it up to the night to quietly remind us. Time, though it mostly slips away, doesn't seem to mind the wait. It's a midnight serenade." -Katie Herzig

Day 265 {Awesome} - Blackjack

A lot of "awesome" happened today: I witnessed the awesome power of a thunderstorm, I had my first traction treatment for my neck, which felt awesome, my kitchen light fixture unexpectedly fell from the ceiling - NOT awesome, but an awesome neighbor helped detach the wires for me so it wouldn't come crashing down in the middle of the night...see, awesome! And since I didn't manage to get a photo of any of that awesomeness, I decided to shoot the awesome mirror caps on my awesome car.

Day 266 {Natural} - Au Naturel

Day 267 {Autumn} - Fall Fell

"The days grow short as the nights grow long, the kettle sings its tortured song. As green to gold, and gold to brown, the leaves will fall to feed the ground, and in their falling, make no sound." -Ray Lamontagne

Picture
Day 268 {Vegetables} - Autumn Veg

I hate to end the week with such an unattractive photo, but hey, when the theme is "Vegetables" and it's officially squash season, what's a girl to do?

The key to keeping your balance is knowing when you've lost it.
It's been a dizzying week. Life just keeps throwing me curves.

Day 255 {Over} - It's Official

Football and Chili. And just like that, summer has come to an end.

Picture
Day 256 {Quirky} - Quirky Girl

It was past bedtime, but this goofy girl insisted on sorting all her football cards. I'm thinking she should've started this project a little earlier.

Picture
Day 257 {Fresh} - Garden Fresh
Picture
Day 258 {Snack} - Grape Escape
Picture
Day 259 {From Where I Stand} - From Where I Land

Unfortunately I didn't do much standing today...Having almost passed out after a round of trigger point injections in my shoulder today, I spent a chunk of my day in bed with a case of the dizzies. I'm still feeling a little dazed tonight, like I had a few too many Appletini's. And so my Humpty Dumpty Saga rolls on.

Day 260 {Framed} - Don't You Dare

And don't think for a second that she wouldn't. She totally would.

Day 261 {Tools} - The Measure of Love

"The measure of love is to love without measure."

This week marks the unofficial "End of Summer" and the official start of sweater and tea pot season. Not to mention, warm sock, fuzzy blanket, dark morning and constant chill in my spine season.

I'll admit I'm a bit of a pessimist when it comes to welcoming in the fall and winter seasons. But the thought of wearing a scarf and gloves while I work (indoors), is enough to drive a girl crazy.

I know we'll still get a few more warm days before the dreadful Wisconsin deep freeze, but the days of flip-flops, drippy popsicles and fireflies are long gone. Thankfully I already have the space heater set up in my bathroom for those cold, dark 5:00 a.m. showers.

Day 248 {Special} - Papa's New Ride

Had my folks over this afternoon for a little long weekend fun and my dad brought his new car. He's waited a lifetime for this one. Well done, Pop!

Picture
Day 249 {Daily Life} - Homework Time

There's something about back-to-school time that throws my OCD into overdrive...

Picture
Day 250 {I Want} - Endless Summer Nights

I want summer to last forever.

Picture
Day 251 {Lines} - Drop Me a Line

A quiet, gloomy day around here.

Picture
Day 252 {Eyes} - Oh, the Irony of it All

Sometimes your photo-of-the-day just finds you...I had a crap day that involved more serious neck pain and an emergency trip to the chiropractor, I was given the finger by a jerk in a Porsche who pulled out in front of me, and then I burnt dinner which left a smoking smiley face on my burner. Hoping the world doesn't hate me as much tomorrow.

Picture
Day 253 {Mischief} - Come Out, Come Out

Sometimes we like to play pranks on big brother.

Picture
Day 254 {My View Today} - How'd I Do, Mom?

After serving 12 straight points, including the set winner, in his first EVER volleyball match, my heart almost melted when his first reaction was to look over at his proud mama.

It's back-to-school week! A very happy week for all of the stressed out, work-from-home parents like me.  I'm never happy to see summer end, but this year I almost did cartwheels as the school bus drove away (but don't worry Doc, I didn't do any...yet...)

Finally seven(ish) hours to work in complete silence, with ZERO interruptions. I used to feel terribly guilty about this, but I've since gotten over it. In fact, I'm WAY over it. 

So here's to the 2016-2017 school year for restoring my sanity!

Day 241 {Popular} - The Sauce IS the Boss

As a lifelong vegetarian, I don't often shoot photos of meaty entrees, but the two empty bottles of BBQ sauce next to the plate of BBQ pork kind of cracked me up tonight. I guess the fellas like their sauce.

Picture
Day 242 {Steps} - 7.1K Steps

Just a typical lunch hour.

Picture
Day 243 {Favorite Spot} - In the Driver's Seat

Currently my favorite place to be...Just keeps getting better every day.

Picture
Day 244 {Learning} - Practice Makes Perfect

I have my driver's seat, the rest of the family enjoys the drummer's seat. I also like the fact that there are headphones involved, which means all I have to listen to is the quiet tapping of the drum pads. It's a win win for the whole family.

Picture
Day 245 {Me} - Education Celebration

Though it may appear that I'm jumping for joy that I finally get 7 hours of peace & quiet to work during the day, I'm really just so excited for my kids to further their education...oh heck, who am I kidding? It's the first day of school!!! I'm freeeeeeeee!**

**No ribs were dislocated in the preserving of this precious memory.

Picture
Day 246 {Begins with S} - Sweet Tea

I like a little tea with my honey.

Picture
Day 247 {Grand} - Sunset Serenade

Music to his ears and to my eyes...ain't it grand?!
