Let's face it, the recovery updates are going to get pretty boring. So we thought we would liven things up with a good old fashioned treat yo self week. We started off slow with several Red Box rentals, a lunch date at Zins, and a tiny vase from Homegoods for the flowers from our garden. Beautiful right?
We picked up the pace midweek with a trip to Von Mauer and Scratch Cupcakes. Worth it? You be the judge. Also, we threw in a pedicure because what is a treat yo self week without some form of spa treatment?
To wrap up the week we decided it was time to retire the Buick. It was a lovely car, but far to heavy a gas hog for a commuter car. After several months of flip flopping between whether to sell or not, and what car we wanted we decided to downsize and "NEVER PAY FOR GAS AGAIN!" If you are looking for a new car and an EXTREMELY enjoyable experience, go see Tim at Billion Automotive in Iowa City. He is a riot and he truly worked to get us a deal that worked within our budget. He even snuck in a few good "right meows." Bye bye Buick, hello Chevy Volt. Time to get used to the gas free life and save some green, both economically and ecologically. 😉
More boring walking and napping on the agenda for the weekend. You may not hear from us until we have some more interesting updates. I spend most of the day studying while Shawn watches movies and naps.
We do want to send a special shoutout to the Medtouch family for being so supportive! We really enjoyed our visit to the office on Wednesday and the Get-Well-Aphant! Shawn is looking forward to regaining his strength so he can get back to work and have somethings to keep himself busy.
