The shoulder surgery went fine. What I didn’t expect, however, was how painful early recovery would be. On the bright side, I’ve already started physical therapy, and while it left me a little sore, it also served to give me a goal to work toward.

I’ve spent the past week watching HGTV and the Food Network, the end result being a sudden and fervent desire to to cook and revamp.

Too bad I’ve been hit with inspiration when I have only one functioning arm. Or maybe that’s why all of this domestic crap now sounds … appealing … ?
