Therapy Musings
Yesterday I had physical therapy again. I really love the journey there, which follows the Bay for a while. I know, I know, I’ve written frequently that the color of the water changes often, defending on the season, weather, time of day, etc., but… Continue Reading “Therapy Musings”
5 Stickers On My Shirt
EJ and I enjoyed a quiet weekend. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we watched Darby O’Gill and the Little People at Amazon video. When I was a child, it was our tradition to watch it when it aired on TV every March 17, and when… Continue Reading “5 Stickers On My Shirt”
Wibbly Wobbly
I’ve had two sessions this week with my occupational therapist to try to get more mobility in my injured hand. My sessions are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The route to the OT takes us past the Bay, which is very beautiful. The… Continue Reading “Wibbly Wobbly”
Comic Relief
I haven’t been able to write in several days. Usually I don’t write much on the weekends because EJ and I are hanging out together. Here is what has been happening: It’s been snowing almost every day for the last week, and snow is… Continue Reading “Comic Relief”
Second Winter
Almost all our snow had melted away during days of temperatures reaching into the high 30s and 40s. It was really beginning to feel like Spring, even though I know that Winter likes to toy with us in March, dangling Spring-like days in front… Continue Reading “Second Winter”
Hand Therapy
The weather has been very nice. The nighttime temperatures often dropped below 20, but the daytime temps rose into the high 30s and 40s. Our snow is mostly gone, but we are supposed to get several inches soon–tonight, I think. Yuck, I like winter,… Continue Reading “Hand Therapy”
JJ’s Apartment (And Hannah’s Bedroom)
The plan was that JJ would drive to the house to pick up a few more of his possessions, and I would go with him so I could see his new apartment. Depending on timing and how man trips JJ made, either he would… Continue Reading “JJ’s Apartment (And Hannah’s Bedroom)”
Empty Nest
Well, JJ received the keys to his new apartment today! The new apartment is in the same town where EJ works so he stopped to look at it when he got out of work. I have to wait until tomorrow to see it because… Continue Reading “Empty Nest”
Spring Fever
Last night I told EJ that if he would make sure the ducks and chickens had plenty of food and water when he shut them in the coop at night, I thought I could let them out in the mornings. EJ is always short… Continue Reading “Spring Fever”
Seasons
We had a bit of rain on Saturday night and strong winds through Sunday afternoon. We had just a bit of rain–not like the flooding rains that areas were getting in southern Michigan. It’s interesting living in a forest when the winds is strong.… Continue Reading “Seasons”
Independence Day
My life is normally simple and quiet–I like it that way–but lately I think it is boring, at least to write or read about. With a broken arm, there is not much I can do. The most exciting part of a day involves being… Continue Reading “Independence Day”
Superheroes and Magic Tables
My hand doctor told me to make sure I move my fingers so they don’t stiffen up so I am trying to type two-handed. I think that typing provides good finger exercises. But my left arm feels like a heavy block of wood and… Continue Reading “Superheroes and Magic Tables”
Twice An Idiot
I feel like an idiot today. Twice an idiot. An idiot times two. I was triggered and had a bit of a meltdown. I don’t know if you know much about triggers. The concept of “triggers” has kind of lost its real meaning these… Continue Reading “Twice An Idiot”
Nemesis
We had two days of warmer temperatures–up into the mid- to high 40s. The snow was melting and dripping off the roof. The chickens and ducks were out enjoying the weather. However, once again our yard and driveway has become a treacherous glare of… Continue Reading “Nemesis”
Mostly Good
I really didn’t mean to go so long without posting an update…oops. I am doing mostly good in a lot of ways. I had been afraid that I would be in much more pain after the surgery, but I am actually in much less.… Continue Reading “Mostly Good”
