Holy Cow!

I never thought that my energy levels would increase so much after my surgery.  I knew things would be better and I would be in less pain but I didn't really translate less pain into meaning less fatigue.

But it has been incredible! Not carrying around that extra 4.5 lbs has meant that my plans to clean and organize are actually coming true.  Things are really getting done and I can do them!

My big accomplishment this weekend was finally hanging the curtains on the bookshelves in the dinning room.  I finally just decided to use no-sew iron-on hemming because I didn't want to create a bigger mess dragging out the sewing machine (and I'm still intimidated by it). But for cheap Ikea curtains and shelves it did the trick and the project is finally done!

I used Gorm shelves; I made sure to attach them to the wall. Then I added curtain rods to the front.  Now my large kitchen appliances like my crock pot and bread machine plus books, random pantry items, and all the other random stuff that doesn't have a place to go like my drill are hidden away.
