spring weather

ok, it's spring but i want it to be warmer, i'm ready for summer.  bright open windows, sheer floaty curtains, changing the decor to more summmery colors.  however, even as the days are longer it is gray and cold outside.  the spring flowers are bravely pushing their little heads out which is always inspiring and i love that you can pick up a bunch of daffodils at the grocery store for not much money.  there are a wonderful addition to my rooms and make me feel better.  i think it's just the light, bright colors that add hope.  lord knows i need as much hope as i can get.  my back surgery recovery is arduous.  i went to get new xrays and to see the surgeon.  i am stunned at the number and size of the screws holding my spine together.  good grief.  however, i feel that since they are do damned big my spine should hold together pretty well.  the high point of that whole outing was that bob, the xray tech, told me he had the same surgery a couple of years ago and he and his family went skiing over the easter weekend.  it was the most inspiring info i've had in all this.  the surgeon says everything looks good and sent me of to physical therapy.  not surprisingly, i hurt like a bitch the next day.  recovery sucks.
