Cloudy

It is a cloudy and moody looking sky.  The rain has slivered off to the south east.

The yards are showing the dry season.  I believe it was the middle of May that the mowing commenced to being a weekly item.  It seemed to make the summer of 2024 go by quickly.

I did not keep up with the area north of the patio with what was Hosta plants and what was weeds.  And . . . you know what . . . it didn’t bother me one bit.  My gardening couldn’t continue has it had been and I filed it under, what had been.

I found contentment and satisfaction in my sewing studio sewing up quilt tops for the church ladies.  At five when I shut down the lights in the studio, I turn to reading and hand stitching.  Keeping our home tidy, managing to put a hot balanced meal on the table for suppers and never allowing the laundry basket to go overflowing allowed me to be tuckered out enough to get a good night’s rest.  I do have nights the jumping nerves in my arm and leg get me up, take one of my prescribed meds, for just such a night.  My left hand would jump and make a tight fist and the left leg would move as if I were taking a step.  I would turn on my small light and read until the eyes were ready to close for the night.  I had been told by my doctor that the nerves that had been impacted by the stroke would feel as if they were trying to reconnect.  It was as if I was getting a trickle charge from electric fencing.  The cardiologist feels that my movement on the left side has stalled with very little improvement to come.  I can and have lived with that.

There is nothing that I have totally given up.  It may be doing things a bit differently or at a slower rate.  What’s not to like about that.

The sun is out and the temp is a bit muggy.  Sunday is suppose to be a really nice day.

I have the list made out for Dennis to give to the fellow at Subway for supper.  A 12″ tuna to split sounds wonderful.

This has been a quiet day and I believe we are ready for some of those.

With that I will take my leave.  ♥
