(Hard to believe I've never used that as a subject line before.)

Yesterday was the eight-week mark after treebyleaf's surgery. Eight weeks was how long her doctor told her to take to recover fully, so yesterday marked a great amount of freedom for her; the last of her dietary restrictions, exercise restrictions, and other physical limitations gone at last.

I spent a perfectly lovely morning with her. Yesterday was also retcon's homecoming, from his jaunt off to Mozilla Firebird, Arizona. As a double celebration, he took us and hetaera15 out to dinner for Lombardi's garlic festival, which was most excellent.

Today, treebyleaf was able to return to work at JoAnn Fabrics, where she's been much missed.

Here's a picture. This is outside our hotel room in Bend, Oregon. She's surrounded by all of the myriad flowers her friends and family showered on her while she was recovering there.

Since I'm the one with a scanner, she wanted me to post this, with much love to you all.
