I got out of the house today! My friend Gwen took me out to lunch and to Michael’s afterwards to look at Halloween stuff. We weren’t gone terribly long, but I’m grateful for getting out of the house for a little bit. She also brought me a box of snacks, so it will be easy to feed myself during the day. Haha. Since my belly is still so tight, I can’t eat a lot at once, so snacks are good. I’ve lost 7 pounds since my surgery, so obviously smaller portions is what I should have been doing all along.

The last couple of days the contractor was here finishing up our backyard which meant the dogs didn’t have access to it. Since I’m not cleared to leash walk them, I needed help, so my friend Ann came over. I’m thankful for her and for getting the backyard (almost) completed.
