It is July 2, and I am officially a housewife right now. Yeah, my current situation began 3 weeks ago, but I spent 2 weeks visiting family in Iowa, and then I had surprise carpal tunnel surgery last week. Well, it wasn't surprising, but rather sudden, and yes, I am typing with one hand. :)

I have been having awful wrist problems ever since getting pregnant with Ellie. I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel around 12 years ago, but it was always manageable. Getting pregnant, carrying a baby all the time, and teaching made it unmanageable. I finally decided to start taking care of myself and last Thursday I saw a specialist. He decided to book me for surgery the next day, and at 2pm the next day, I had a carpal tunnel release! Overall, I think I've been healing well, and I get my stitches and cast off two Thursdays from now.
My visit to Iowa went well, and Ellie got lots of family time with both sides. She went swimming, to the childrens' museum (I wish DC had one!!), and played a lot with other children. Some choice pics are below.

Now to the purpose of this blog: to chronicle my activities this summer, boring and interesting. That includes daily adventures with ellie, progress in maintaining my home, and other things I deem personally noteworthy.
Today, I wasn't able to do much being gimped up and all, but I did manage to start organizing the buffet, vacuumed, and cleaned the oven. I also managed to get $130 parking ticket. Yeah. I can't carry Ellie well right now, much less put her in a car seat, so I had to wait until she went down for her nap to move the car for street sweeping. I found my car had been moved, and I even talked to the tow guy about the ticket. He said his hands were tied and he couldn't do anything once it was in the system, and suggested appealing, which I shall. BOO.
Tomorrow will be pretty boring as well, since I'm still gimped up. Hopefully, it'll be cheaper.
