Jury's Still Out

The jury is still out as to whether the cortisone injection is going to work.  They say it can take several days and up to a week to know for sure.  It went fine and I didn't have any complications or side effects so that's good.  It took all of about 5 minutes total other than me waiting for almost an hour to go in.  Thank goodness for People Magazine's Oscar Gowns edition.  For the first 48 hours, I needed to use an ice pack every so often and that wasn't too fun with the cold, drizzly weather we're having.  It also slowed my painting since it was too damp and cold to paint.  Jeff brought the top part of the hutch into the boy's bedroom so I'll probably work on that today.

My Wine Glass Chandelier arrived from Pottery Barn on Wednesday just two days after I ordered it so I ran all over town yesterday finding 30 wine glasses.  I wanted all tulip shaped glasses but in 3 different sizes.  I found 16 (4 boxes of 4) large glasses for the top tier at Bed, Bath & Beyond, 10 medium glasses for the middle tier at Cost Plus and 4 small glasses for the bottom tier at HomeGoods.  They are all dishwasher safe and I paid around $2.00 for each glass which is pretty economical.  Jeff did a great job of installing it as usual.  So glad he is handy at so many things.  Here's a photo.

The chain swag part looks better than in the photo.  Since I was shooting from below you can't really see how it looks.  In addition to doing the electrical for my chandelier, Jeff also installed two new outdoor coach lights on either side of the garage door at our other house where Jessica and family live.  There wasn't wiring for them so he had to do all the wiring and cut holes in the stucco to install them.  

Kim asked to see our desk area from which we blog.  Here's a photo including Hunter taking up all my space.  He does that when he thinks I need to pay more attention to him and less to the computer.
