Who knew my 200th post would be about a 1-legged mouse?

I'm a bit frustrated today. Looked all over for the restore CDs, so I could reformat the computer, and I can't find them anywhere. I seriously looked. All. Over. Hubby helped look, too. Nothing. So, I shall be waiting until I come across them in the future instead of taking much needed time away from my other priorities to look for the discs. Let's face it. The computer still runs, and I don't actually have to have the reformat done just yet. It's just not high on my priority list.

What irritates me, though, is that I had to have put them up for 'safekeeping'. I just am so good at safekeeping that I'm keeping them safe from me! Glad to know I'm good at something. Hubby's thinking of just ordering a home edition of Windows 7 instead of waiting for me to find the Vista CDs. It's not because he's totally against waiting for me to find the discs, but he's tired of us not being able to even install the new mouse, because Vista isn't recognizing something. In the meantime, our little mouse is on it's last leg, so we'll need to act within the next few months. Stay tuned to hear the conclusion of the 1-Legged Computer Mouse drama.

I think I may have overdone yesterday. I was just feeling so much better than I expected after my surgery that I may have overextended myself a bit. I got the refrigerator taken apart and cleaned yesterday. Hubby helped me with the heavy parts, and I'm ever so grateful for the help! I can't stand when the refrigerator gets dirty, and it had been a few months since I'd cleaned it well. I also did some laundry and a couple loads of dishes.

The thing is, the doctor said there were no restrictions in place. I was just not to have any heavy exercise for a couple days. And what I did wasn't heavy exercise, but I think I may have been on my feet a little too long. Let's just say I'm paying the piper today. I'm really tired. Plus the girls got me up early, and I couldn't seem to fall back asleep. It's that mom guilt thing. I was able to get a bit of a nap in on the couch this afternoon, but I feel I could sleep until morning, if I were to go to bed right now. And that's not going to happen, so...

I haven't done much today. Just a couple loads of laundry, cooked lunch and did the dishes. I'm definitely taking it easier than I did yesterday, but I am trying to do as much laundry (that can be dried in the dryer) that I possibly can. It's slow going, but it all has to get done, right? If I can get a total of 6 loads done, I'll be thrilled.

Next thing on my list? Making a list of things that we absolutely must get done this weekend. School's going to be starting before we know it, and there are just some things. You know?

I'm doing well. The computer? Notsomuch.

I decided to write my blog early today, because I've got to take the computer apart. Well. Sort of. I'll be busy reformatting the hard drive, so we hopefully won't have any more problems with the computer.

Other than being quite sleepy, I'm feeling really good today, which is a relief. I was afraid I'd be waylayed by the surgery more than I think I will be. This is good news.

Other good news that came in the mail the other day: my new hand held vacuum cleaner I got for the stairs. Even though I'd vacuumed the stairs with the attachments on my upright the other day, (after I cleaned it all out with the air hose), I was shocked at how much came out of the carpet on the stairs when I used my Eureka. It's got a powerful little motor. Seems to be of much higher quality than the others I looked at. I'm just thrilled with it.

And just so you know, I'm not reviewing this for any other reason than I believe in letting others know when I find something of quality for a decent price. I'm not getting anything for it. I bought it, because my poor stairs needed serious help, and I can only do so much with the upright. This little thing is perfect!

I'm hoping to have the reformatting done on the computer before long, so I can be back to blogging tonight or tomorrow.

Hope to see you then!

Loopy thankfulness.

Everything went fine today with my outpatient surgery. Thanks to those of you who emailed me and for the thoughts and prayers of everyone else. A dear friend took care of supper for us and had a tasty casserole, homemade bread, and homemade pie with fresh whipping cream waiting for us when we got back.

I'm sort of loopy tonight. The pain meds do that to me. I will probably be a bit loopy tomorrow, too. Hubby took the day off tomorrow to be with me and to take care of things while I'm out of commission. I'm so very thankful for him. And equally thankful for Bugster who stayed with the girls while I was in the hospital today. It's easier to relax when you know things are being taken care of at home....especially to know the girls are comfortable and safe.

As far as the dehoarding goes, I arranged for my friend to take two large bags of dress up dresses when she came over with the food. So I even made a little progress today. I'll take it where I can get it.

Right now...I'm going to take my rest where I can get it, which will be in my big comfy bed. I don't know why they can't make a comfortable hospital bed, but they sure don't seem to have that one figured out yet.
