An unexpected vacation…not the good kind

Hi Everyone,
I must remember that all my readers/buddies are not on facebook so I should do a post at least once a week! Well I over did it this weekend and now I have hurt my back again and have to be out of work all week. It would be fine except I am in pain and have to have an MRI tonight as my Doc thinks I may have ruptured ANOTHER disc. I have had back problems since my 20's from a car accident then at 26 I blew out 2 discs by sneezing and could not walk for 6 months. I was a fool this weekend and was on my feet decorating, cleaning, rearranging closets in such, lugging boxes up to the attic and now I am paying for it. Well at least I got things done, but I am upset because I can not get my fall decorations out to decorate outside per doctors orders....do not do anything....blah! I almost have my Tabby room back to myself just a few boxes left of Dave's stuff. I also channeled my inner Martha Stewart and did some more stuff in the bathroom. I am having family over for my Mom's 60th birthday party Oct. 3rd and want the house to look good. I guess I will not be able to paint the bathroom by then but oh well. Here are some pictures. Oh before I post them I want to thank everyone on the nice comments regarding Dave, I show them to him and he likes them. He is doing well and besides the horrible back pain I am happy:)

 

 

 

I filled this cool boat looking thing with lots of pretty shells and stuck it on the back of the toilet bowl

 

I made the mirror in the bathroom more nautical, I got the large Conch shell in the keys along with the shells on the right, those are real star fish I bought on a day trip to cape cod

I hung up the sand dollar on a ribbon

 

The picture reminded me of coco plum beach in Marathon Key we visited

I made this sea shell wreath for the bathroom door

 

I got a new bag from a book club and of course Delilah had to crawl into it

As you can see my Tabby room is almost back together just a few things to put away, like those giant pictures in front of the window still have to be hung up.

I hung some new bird pictures I got at the dollar store

Just more stuff in my Tabby room, it is basically a 3rd room that has exercise equipment and just stuff I do not know where else to put

Ta Da finally hung a picture up in the living room after being here a year, the reason we waited so long is we are going to paint these walls a sand color but that will have to wait for now

I rearranged some appliances, I know the color of the counter is gross but I try to make the best of it until it can be replaced

My first Halloween decoration is out

Now this may look like a cluttered closet but it is all organized and it is the kitchen closet and it really is all organized.  I took everything out and put it all back in…

I got this cool corduroy chair 50% off, I know it does not really belong in the bedroom but I like to have something to sit on when I put my socks on

See the second shelf that was filled with clutter so I cleaned that too.

 

Hope everyone has a good one!
