day #2 of after surgery,

and I stayed home today after all. 'tP' was so restless during the night that I kept awaking when he moved or groaned. I was so tired this morning that I just called in for another day off to help with him. There is still a lot of pain and the drugs keep him sleeping most of the time anyway. So, I've been doing things around the house after I slept in a bit, too.



Here are some pictures of that wool and some of the spinning I've done with it, too. I got as close as I was able.
What do you all think?
