( raw notes )

I was plagued all day by the pain in my right shoulder. During my walk I was feeling slightly down, very washed out -- it didn't take me long to realize that it was because my sister-of-choice Naomi had left in the morning. Spent the afternoon foggy from pain, and waffling over booking air travel for OVFF. Never did get that done; I have to do it today. It's complicated by the fact that the only way I can get there at a reasonable time is to leave before 8am.

Colleen gave me a couple of nice shoulder rubs at bedtime; that helped, as did the cyclobenzaprine and the double dose of naproxen. But it still hurts this morning.

We need to find Colleen a way of working in the kitchen; she's going stir-crazy. I think she intends to try the rolling walker today, but something like a rolling bar stool might work better.

Colleen is making cookies!

In the kitchen! On her scooter! She uses the walker, which is more manoeverable, to line up ingredients and tools and put them on the center island, which has been cleaned off. Then she goes back out to the living room, transfers to Rosebud, and scoots back to do the assembly. She still needs help with a few operations, and is still getting used to the fact that she's been out of the kitchen for the better part of a year and things aren't necessarily where she remembers leaving them. But, still, she's cooking!

The Cat's in her kitchen, all's right with the world.
