Where have I been?

Where have I been???? HOME! That's where! That's right, as of last Wednesday, I have been home (*insert your favourite gleeful face here*)! I'm sorry it's taken me a while to get back in the blogging zone, but I was kind of in transition mode for the past week. Let me give you the somewhat-abbreviated version of what I've been up to.

As I said, I was discharged last Wednesday from hospital. It was a very joyous occasion, celebrated with donuts on the way home. This in itself was a milestone, as it was the first one I've had in about five years (as is the case with pretty much everything I've been eating lately. If you follow me on instagram, I'm sorry for all the pictures of food...it's just so happy and encouraging for me.)
The first few days were pretty mellow. It's been really nice to enjoy spending time with my parents (and dog!) in the comfort of our home. I still continue to text and see some of my friends I made in hospital, in addition to meeting up with a few of my old friends. Sunday was really nice because I not only got to socialize with the AMAZING congregation, but I also got to HEAR my dad's sermons, instead of simply reading his notes by myself. After church last week, my mum and I went to the Francophone Festival here in town, where we met some great people and got to practice our French.
Monday was the start of a very busy week. It started with seeing a friend who I hadn't seen in weeks, and consisted entirely of catching up while we did our nails (matching pink, in case you were wondering; see photo below).

Monday evening, my parents and I watched our church softball team play another church.
Tuesday was filled with appointments (three in all) and by the time evening rolled around I was feeling pretty tired, but not tired enough to miss a tupperware party that another friend of mine was hosting!
Wednesday included dropping yarn donations off with a knitting group I'm a part of, and then a rainy afternoon looking at wedding magazines with yet another friend (what can I say? We just love looking at all the pretty dresses!)
Thursday held another appointment, but I got to see the same friend as on Monday, while both our mums ran errands. She had a crazy amount of fibre to spin, so she did that and I knit. That night, mum and I went to a lady from our church's house to watch "Big Hero 6" with her and a couple other ladies from our Bible study. I must say, I laughed just as hard as the first time I saw it.
Friday had one more appointment, and then we (ok, my mum) got the house ready for students from our local University potluck and Bible Exploration that my parents host every week during the school year. It was a bit challenging, but God gave me the strength and courage to eat with everyone.
Saturday I went to a farmers' market and the library. And that about sums it up.
I'll try to write more about personal feelings, thoughts and challenges faced, but I just wanted to give you guys an update to let you know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.
Thank you all for your comments, thoughts, and prayers! God bless!
