Recovery Meets Cookout

Only people who have had weight loss surgery during back patio cookout season will get a chuckle at this post.

If you’re in the know, you’re welcome.

First Cookout Prep

We are likely going to have our first cookout of the summer today. Highly appropriate for Memorial Day.

I’m just prepping the patio for now. Setting up the furniture and making sure the umbrella still works and cleaning the grill.

Hope it doesn’t rain, right?

Bertha the plant clipping’s newest leaf hasn’t even opened yet and there is already a new branch growing in. She’s insane!

See this t-shirt?

I bought it shortly before the surgery. It didn’t really fit. It almost fit, but it was a smidge too small.

It still doesn’t fit all that well today, but it’s definitely better than it was.

So is that a weight loss milestone? Naw, probably not. Close, but not really.

Next time will be better.

I love when Patches perches on Jen’s pillows while she sleeps.

We’ve only watched one episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi but it was AWESOME and I can’t wait to watch episode two.

Even Patches was riveted.

I put rhythm guitars onto two songs tonight! The playing was rotten but I feel so good about it I could burst! It’s been too long. Way too long.

I played my SG through my new pedal board. I also tuned down to Eb for some reason. It felt good.

The Les Paul might come out tomorrow. We will see.
