Friday December 1st
Happy Friday to all my peeps. I know, many people remark at how fast time goes. We all have 24 hours in each and every day. I don’t wish my time away. What I hope to yet achieve in my own personal job jar . . . nah . . . it would take two jars.
Each evening I try to stay up a bit longer than nine for a few more hand stitches or another chapter in the latest book I am reading. I don’t do television or YouTube videos after supper. You could set your clock by our five p.m. suppers. The goal is to not see dirty dishes in the sink when awaking to a new day. About that bedtime of mine . . . even Dennis has observed when I push past that time I get wobbly and for sure, do not have me make decisions that can wait until morning.
My days are sweet and full when all things are considered. At two thirty today, the studio lights will be off. My hand stitching is going well and I hope to do quite a bit before supper. Carrie asked me how the hands have reacted to the counted cross stitching that I have again picked up. The muscles in the hands, wrists and arms can atrophy if not exercised. The nerves need to have a good blood supply right along with tendons and muscles. I can pretty much tell when enough is enough. The strength in my left side has pretty much stalled since the stroke. Whatever I did regain in my shoulder, arm and leg did get a great workout to maintain this summer with staining the deck and the house shutters. The left side had to struggle to keep up and it did. Sweet.
Today will be a soup and half sandwich supper.
Tomorrow, first thing, I will text a “Happy 20th Birthday” to Megan. Hmm. Now there is a time flying occurrence.
I am quite sure I will forgo a blog post for tomorrow. By the time we get home from Aunt Janet’s birthday get together, it will most likely be dark and I will be pooped. Dennis’ plan is to go early and leave early. I am in full agreement. According to KNUJ sunset occurs before five.
With that I take my leave. ♥
