Today, a Feast Day, a day (happy) together

So today is the

Feast Day of the Nativity of the Mother of God!

I know many people make cakes on this day,

for the Mother of God's birthday, a simple

but concrete way of celebrating it.

It was really nice to be at our far-away church again

and have liturgy there.

We had a lovely lunch (I had a lamb shish-sandwich

and delicious rose-water lemonade, with free refills).

Then Mr Husband and I went to IKEA!

I am really excited because

my parents (DV) are coming! Soon! Beginning of October!

So we got some new (white billy with doors) bookcases

for bedroom + office... they will be delivered tomorrow night...

It was so nice to be with my Husband all day!

(He took the day off work!)

I no longer have a cast or air cast or brace!

I wore my smaller (kind of like high high tops)  brown leather boots

for a bit more support and I managed just fine!

I still need to do some elevation or ice at night at times,

swelling, some soreness but I am making good progress.

I had the strangest thing in that (until PT yesterday)

I could not properly get my (injured) foot in my boot...

it was like my foot was not at all lithe or able to bend 

naturally into it! My PT said that this was because my calf muscle was too 

tight so we did lots on that yesterday and today I could get my boot

on with no problems! So that was neat!

We are still recovering from colds, my goodness.

But we don't seem to be worsening at any rate, so hoping that

in week or so we will be much better.

I felt like this was one of our first days in months where

we were together and doing church + fun things.

It was a nice change.

I also took The Two Towers with me to read,

I sat in IKEA various times to rest my foot... 

These are busy days; I have a busy week coming up.

If I don't write much here, 

that's why! 

May God bless and keep us!
