Home Sweet Home

Just got home from the hospital for the second time this week! To say it's good to be home would be a drastic understatement.

Someone asked me what the most exciting thing was that I did after getting home earlier this week. First of all, what I consider “exciting” at the moment are things like not having to pee into a plastic container. Second of all, how many “exciting” things can you do when you aren’t allowed to leave your house or eat take-out? After some deliberation, I finally answered that it was getting caught up on some of the episodes of Top Chef All-Stars I missed while in the hospital (can you believe they don’t have Bravo??). I haven’t seen the last two episodes, so please don’t ruin it! :)

Here are some other “exciting” things about being home:

• Sleeping in my own bed next to Zack
• Laying on the couch
• Not having to measure how much I drink (to the milliliter)
• Eating homemade food
• Not being hooked up to a pole (a tube in a small backpack, yes, but it’s infinitely better than a pole)
• Having more than one room to walk around in (my walking area has quadrupled)
• A change in scenery (family portraits and candles on the wall instead of whiteboards and fake wood cabinets)
• Sitting on our balcony (haven’t had the chance yet, but I will asap considering it’s the only place I can go outside the apartment besides the hospital!)
• Making Zack his lunch for work every day :)
• Having more clothing options
• Watching Netflix instant movies without them re-buffering every 10 minutes
• The smell of my own sheets
• Everything about my bathroom
• No beeping!!!

To give you some perspective, those are just the ideas that came to me in the first 5 minutes of writing this post :).
