My Butterfly
Celebrations can be for the most minute accomplishments.
This morning I finished some prototypes in the studio for a family member. Hush! It’s a secret. In due time.
Each time I looked up and out the studio windows today, I was sure we were going to have rain. KNUJ mentioned the towns around us that were getting a sprinkle or two . . . but not us. What they did mentioned about the fires in Canada, was spot on. It smells a bit like an electrical fire. Ish!
These last five days had been fairly full for me. Dennis’s appointment in Mankato on Monday was a walking marathon for me. The hospital is expanding by adding several stories to the existing structure. Each time we go, the parking has been diminished for patients. Dennis and I both used our walking sticks. The day was successful, complete with the patio porch kitties having their favorite litter product. I might order it via Amazon next time or immediately go to Hy-Vee.
Tuesday’s yearly exam for me was a long day for my shoulders. The mammogram needs the arms at a certain angle for a good x-ray. Grin and bare it. The bone density also had the arms doing what I thought they couldn’t, plus twisting of the back for a good x-ray. I grinned through it and all reports were done correctly with good reports for me. Mission accomplished.
The hair cut yesterday was fantastic. Dennis and I both went to the gal that does our pedicures. So long Curry Comb! Yesterday I came out of Maria’s salon feeling like I had a cut with come styling and not a man’s hair cut, plus an inch or two in length. Dennis was pleased with his cut as well. We do have options as to who we spend our money with and not because of family ties.
With busy days. Today, I feel very relaxed and my body is not hurting. A day to stay in my own surroundings does make a difference.
I am sharing my counted cross stitch butterfly. It has taken me a while, but I find it ever so relaxing. This is my first new counted cross stitch project since 2002. The siege of the Santa’s was from 1996 through 2002. In between time, I did finish several projects I had started. The light coming into the eight surround windows in my bedroom porch is great. I don’t stitch for long periods of time. This does go to show, one threaded needle of floss at a time, headways can be made.
May the weekend be kind to you as you kick back a bit and do what makes you content.
