At My Place: Lovely January Weather

I realize you may not be located in Saskatoon but for those who are, we rejoice in some fine sunny weather - with an out door temperature of about 0 or a few single digits above 0 which is the freezing point.

When we are used to winter temperatures of -10F down to -35F - a few days at just a mere 0 degrees, we see it as a gift from Heaven.

We know that it won't last too many days in a row. It may not last for even a week. So-- let's delight in it!

The forecast is for the temperature to start dropping next Monday. Of course, it could all change in a few hours today or tomorrow.

What's New: My Pain Saga Update

I hesitate to dwell on this subject but I do realize most of you care about my health.

Last week I told you about the fractures in my back from 2007 to this year. I had one in November and another on Dec. 13th - so I thought I should be back to normal by the middle of February for sure. Yes my past experiences show that a simple fracture will heal up in 8 weeks.

Early last week my sister Elsie called to ask how I was doing. I cheerfully told her that I'd had three days of no pain. But the very next morning I had much greater pain in my lower back, and it has kept up that pace and intensity since then.

I

n fact, this morning I've wondered if it might be possible that the pain is not just in the vertebrae (which are fairly small bones), or has the pain jumped over to my hip bones! There is definitely more pain there. Less easy to gauge. So I may need to get some x-rays taken again.

Today, I'm trying to fight off self-pity and bemoaning the work I had meant to do which is not getting done. Even my plants have not been watered since a week before last Saturday. They are looking thirsty!

I do have an appointment with my dear chiropractor on Friday this week.

I have some comfort sitting in my recliner with a heating pad at my back. I'm struggling with concern over the untidy messes all over the house. I've wondered if I know anyone willing to come do some housework for me.

<*> TIPS & SOLUTIONS: <*>
Any Year-End Projects?

I like to do some Year-end and/or New Year Start projects. Perhaps you have wondered when to do things like updating your password book as you have crossed some off and created new ones and your notebook or binder has become quite messy looking.

It took me sessions over two days to update those pages and print them.

My card file of addresses sure needed updating too, with addresses and phone numbers or emails crossed off and new ones written in. That project is not quite done, but I may get it finished today, the cards printed on heavy card stock, and cut apart. Then filed away alphabetically.
