I am at 4 weeks post shoulder surgery and the rehab is on schedule. I am hopeful that I will be able to make chocolates for Mother's Day, so keep posted for the particulars.
It has been frustrating being one armed for a month, but I am so thankful that I was able to have the surgery and that I will get the use of my arm back. Not everyone is that lucky. I had hoped to get so much done in this downtime, all the admin things that I can never seem to get to. It didn't work out that way, when does it ever?
As many of you know, I am on a quest to find a new dipping chocolate, due to delivery issues and cost increases. It is a very difficult task, because I am quite picky. I am looking at 2 different American artisan produced chocolates. I am really hoping to keep everything Venezuelan because of the flavors I love, but it is proving difficult. I am not opposed to using other countries of origin if I must, I just have to start tasting. I know, what an awful job! The problem is that I live in an area where these chocolates just aren't available, so it is off to chocosphere.com!
During this forced vacation I have also been pondering the possibility of moving into a retail location. The pro/con list is evenly distributed. How sad is it that the first pro is that I can stay in my pjs with no make up if I stay home based??
I am beginning to get a bit of cabin fever. The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining and my mind has turned once again to the flavor of lemons. Hopefully I will be able to use both arms soon!
