Of course we went out for lunch and then we spent the afternoon in hobby lobby picking up Christmas decorations. We had a lot of fun hanging out and acting crazy as we normally do. But it is a lot of fun to decorate and get ready for the holidays! I forgot to take a picture of our overflowing buggies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday I went to the surgeon for my 90 day follow up on my second back surgery. He reviewed the x-ray and said that it looks fine and that I can ditch my back brace. This is great news I\u2019m so thrilled to not have to wear that back brace out and about anymore. If I think there\u2019s going to be large crowds though I will wear it. He also okayed me to go back to work but recommended I do maybe half a days for a little while so I will be working half a days until January 3.<object data=\"blob:https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/e36fb6aa-0c2e-4a48-a860-e8efcdd7487e\"><object data=\"blob:https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/f081d30c-bdcd-4e6e-aa1a-5e9bad561444\"><\/object><p><\/p><\/object><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.38.29-PM-758x1024.png\" alt=\"Back screws\" data-id=\"311\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.38.29-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-38-29-pm\/\" class=\"wp-image-311\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.38.44-PM.png\" alt=\"Back screws\" data-id=\"310\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.38.44-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-38-44-pm\/\" class=\"wp-image-310\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday I went back to work for a half a day and at the end of the day half a day I was glad the doctor suggested going back to work only for a half a days. I was very tired after a half a day. Of course first things first I had to get back my security to be able to get into my work laptop. Believe it or not it only took about 45 minutes or so I figured I\u2019d be on the phone all day. I met with my boss Jackie for about 30 minutes she filled me in on all the changes and then I met with my team for another 30 minutes so it was really good to see everybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friday I had the day scheduled off for an out of town excursion with the girls. We went to see Kip Moore in Myrtle Beach South Carolina\u2018s House of blues. I felt really safe going to this concert because they required a vaccination or a negative test for Covid. I also kept my mask on except when I was eating or drinking. I also wore my brace for extra protection. The opening act was a man named Larry Fleet. Never heard of them before but he was really good. He happened to walk through the crowds so I snapped a picture with him lol. I promise I was wearing my mask it doesn\u2019t seem as though with all these pictures lol It was a very nice evening and we had lots of fun.\u00a0<object data=\"blob:https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/2b68247e-a60a-4d1c-ab05-6d8a56a954da\"><object data=\"blob:https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/e096cbb8-34f8-4ed3-acd3-8d6e042c9ad0\"><\/object><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.39.16-PM-801x1024.png\" alt=\"Kip Moore at Concert\" data-id=\"308\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.39.16-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-39-16-pm\/\" class=\"wp-image-308\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.39.28-PM-792x1024.png\" alt=\"Paula and Larry Fleet\" data-id=\"307\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.39.28-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-39-28-pm\/\" class=\"wp-image-307\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.39.04-PM-1024x757.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"309\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.39.04-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-39-04-pm\/\" class=\"wp-image-309\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saturday we shopped until we could drop. I kid you not we left the condo at 11 o\u2019clock and did not return home until after 8 o\u2019clock. I was simply exhausted. We went to have&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lunch at Paula Deen\u2019s restaurant. It was so good and so Southern. Fried chicken, collard greens, green beans, broccoli casserole, seafood gumbo, delicious desserts, and yummy biscuits. I was not eating whole 30 diet that\u2019s for sure. After, we went walking through Broadway at the beach and did a little retail therapy shopping. We wrapped up the night at a restaurant called Grumpy Monk\u2019s and I had the best chicken wings ever. They smoked the wings instead of frying them or making them buffalo. They were very good. Needless to say when I got home I did a little stretching with Shelby and took my medication and off to sleep I went. Shelby and Nicole did as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><object data=\"blob:https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/3c33323e-a31e-4bb4-a816-2806b6c2f13d\"><\/object><object data=\"blob:https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/e333740f-c5ae-4a95-89b9-aaf8e4f21a9f\"><\/object><object data=\"blob:https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/fa87a68e-5c8d-477d-b236-6939c833b773\"><\/object><object data=\"blob:https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/eaea774c-f8d7-4aaf-9a06-9ca459b0dcd8\"><\/object><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.41.03-PM-780x1024.png\" alt=\"Paula at Paula Deans restaurant\" data-id=\"303\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.41.03-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-41-03-pm\/\" class=\"wp-image-303\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.39.38-PM-773x1024.png\" alt=\"Paula and Paula Dean cutout\" data-id=\"306\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.39.38-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-39-38-pm\/\" class=\"wp-image-306\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.41.14-PM-793x1024.png\" alt=\"Paula Dean Desserts\" data-id=\"302\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.41.14-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-41-14-pm\/\" class=\"wp-image-302\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.40.02-PM-763x1024.png\" alt=\"Shelby and Paula at Broadway at the Beach\" data-id=\"305\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.40.02-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-40-02-pm\/\" class=\"wp-image-305\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.40.10-PM-1024x760.png\" alt=\"Nicole and Paula at Broadway at the Beach\" data-id=\"304\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-22-at-8.40.10-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/shelbybrookedesigns.com\/paulas_story\/screen-shot-2021-11-22-at-8-40-10-pm\/\" class=\"wp-image-304\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sunday we drove home from Myrtle Beach and I got to have dinner with the family.
