'twas the night before....

What a week. Boogered my back again. Got a call in to my GP, waiting to hear back. Been spending time between the tub soaking and the shower with the pulse hitting my lower back. The muscle spasms are hitting the sciatic nerve, so it's not just the lower back, it's also the outside of my thigh and my lower calf. The heating pad is on it now.

Really annoying to not feel well. There is so much I want and need to do. Just pacing myself and moving very carefully helps.

Have made 3 out of 10 purses so far. Each different, all still needing flowers ribbons and handles. Once each basic purse is made I'll dress them up. It's so much fun to be able to do things like this, even with the items held about 6 inches from my face and using a magnifying glass. It's something I can do!!! 

I feel more competent when I can do things on my own. Asking for help is necessary at times, but also feels like defeat. Get used to it, I know. But doggone, I like to do it all myself.

My Vanilla Orchid, Fig Tree and Key Lime Tree arrived safely yesterday. I need to get them all transplanted in the next couple of days. It will be so cool to have them growing big in the living room.

Tomorrow is Darling Husband's birthday. I'm looking forward to celebrating with Him.  He doesn't want a cake, so I'm kind of at a loss here. I did make oatmeal raisin cookies tonight to treat him, but it doesn't seem like enough. What to give the most wonderful, amazing, kind, honest, loving, generous man I've ever known? Gotta think a bit longer....

Listening to election results. Shouldn't do that, it gives me indigestion................
