Remember how I mentioned that whenever I do too much, I end up paying for it? Yeah, that happens quite a lot. More often than I really want it to happen. That happened on Tuesday after I helped to clean and organize the office/craft room. I didn't do any of the heavy lifting. No way that could happen. I did most of the sorting and packing of items that were brought to me. Nonetheless, it was enough to make me wake up on Tuesday feeling bruised and battered. Thankfully, all I had planned for the day was to make headway on my crocheting and some reading. I ended up finishing a scarf and starting a second one. If my hands would have cooperated with me more, I could have had both scarves finished with another halfway finished.
Wednesday brought more warm temperatures and humidity which meant my breathing was a bit on the labored side. I've come to accept the fact that whenever the weather shift, I'm going to have trouble. I spent most of the day reading and working my way through the pile of to-read books that I have near me almost all the time. My hands and feet were swollen most of the day so I didn't do as much crocheting as I wanted. The best part of the day was finding the inspiration to begin work on another novel.
Thankfully, the weather front that had been crawling towards our state started to come through my state. I hated the tightness that I felt in my chest but the relief in my hands and feet helped to even things out.That allowed me to get another scarf finished and a third started. I had given myself to the end of the week to work on the crocheting before I had to split my time and attention between that and the revisions I've planned. When I finish the matching hats, that will make 32 complete sets for the kids at the Center.
We received sad news on Thursday and it combined with the rain that fell on Friday made my mood dark. Sleeping all day sounded like an awesome plan. My little furkid had other plans for me. He made sure that I woke up and got to work doing blog posts for my book blog and finding some more quotes for this one. He's a little bossy furkid when he wants to be - especially when he wants his treats. I honestly couldn't imagine my days without him though. He's getting old enough to make me worry over losing him.
Today, I must say happy birthday to my niece! She's grown so much and it makes me feel so old. *sighs* I am so disappointed that I wasn't able to attend the baby shower for a very close family friend and his girlfriend. They're actually more like siblings than friends. They are having the first child soon so the level of excitement is quite high. It definitely would have been fun to get out of the house and spend time with them! I had been saving my spoons for today but combined with all the other things, I'm just stuck. Sad Kay is sad today. My only other plans for the day are to read some more and to begin the revisions on my novel. I really want to have the whole thing done before the end of June. Okay, time to get ready! Have a great weekend.
Until next time,
Kay
