That all sounds very busy. I'm glad you are progressing well. I have heard knee surgery is one of the worst. I used to try to have all my Christmas shopping done by Nov 1 but these days I aim for the day before Thanksgiving. I do not participate in the black Friday madness especially now that it starts on Thanksgiving. I detest crowds.
I too am sticking to smaller projects especially after my joblean debacle. I am always amazed by the beautiful, huge projects the other stitchers are doing. Goals for me for one day when I have more free time.

Glad you are doing so well, Mary! I like your attitude! :)

BTW
You know, what I call a UFO might be a whole other thing in your life...My daughter has been working on the monopoly-board thing for 7-8 years. To her, it's a WIP, and "Shut up, Mom, love you!". Yes, she's finished a lot of other stuff, but that thing haunts me. Anybody else haunted by stuff in their kid's closets? LOL

Glad to know that your recovery is going so well!

VCESS:
Kid's closets? Some are sticky, crinkly, squooshy, wet, damp and/or stinky. Uuuuugggghhh!
As long as you don't find my son Joe's hamster, lost in his room many years ago, things should be fine!

Glad you are doing well and keeping busy. Good for you for doing your exercises!

Only one step back is good! I like smaller projects too, I’ve been working on a large one (for me) and it’s making me crazy.

Glad you are doing well. Keep at it. You will be glad you had it done.
