Spent all of yesterday morning cutting up food, putting food into Glad plastic containers and making chicken soup as well as salad portions for a few days.
Those who know me are not surprised by this as I am generally a very organized person. Today I will be using just my left hand...not as easy as you would think... so I can accomplish some tasks. I already opened the gingerale but I think Gatorade has glued the caps on! I had to cross the courtyard so Dave could open it for me. Still have one more for him to open. He even had to use brute strength! But he did it with a smile. I am thankful for him and Robyn for taking me tomorrow and Robyn said I will be having lasagna Monday night. This morning I realized that I forgot to buy butter! It is an important staple in my fridge.
Yesterdays mail brought me this kit.
I ordered it from 123 Stitch using the gift certificate I received from Shelly. I found 2 more Santa's and put them on my wish list for the next visit there. If you have never ordered from them, give them a try. They are quick to process and fair prices. I enjoy stitching on perforated paper. This will be my incentive to follow doctor's orders so I can get back to stitching real soon. I made the Canyon Santa last year. I love Mill Hill kits.
The Woodpecker was here often yesterday calling out his arrival. He is such a character. Yesterday also brought a coyote trotting though the courtyard. Looked like he was in pursuit of something that I did not see but obviously whatever it may have been he did not have it as he walked up the street. By the looks of him, he was not starving. There has been a Dove visiting the garden, maybe they will move back in this Spring.
This morning I found that a guy commented that he liked my profile picture on a post that I made on a Facebook page and wanted me to add him to my friends list so we could chat! Really!!! I have deleted the post and him! Not interested in the younger man..... the way to deal is to delete.
The cut on my wrist is healing but sore and of course it is the hand for the IV.... only me. I will also remind them that I corrected the medical info and that I am not pregnant. With that said, off I go to have a day of do nothingI hope is my plan. I will attempt to update you as soon as I am not loopy. Thank you for stopping by today. Thank you for your kind words and friendship.

Oh, that Southwest Santa is just perfect for you! 123 is great at processing quickly. I was surprised to hear you spent time with a knife!!! Be careful, we don't want anymore injuries!!
Yes, I like your santa too. Hope all goes well with the surgery. You make sure you take it easy. big hugs.
You certainly are organized! Hope all goes well with the surgery
Take good care of yourself
Gracie dear - You are a paragon of organization... Me thinks the packaging industry is crippling the hands of America... Perhaps if Gatorade knew you would discontinue buying their brand, they might
re-tool...don't hold your breath...I have a battle with rip off tops
of dog food everyday...They must rivet them down before shipping.. So
glad your injury is healing well.. a good sign that your post op process may also do as well. I will be praying you through to complete
recovery... Peace and strength to you, dear lady.
Gracie: Its so nice to have friends that will help out, you are lucky.
I love the Southwest Santa he is wonderful.
I hope that all goes well, I will be thing about you tomorrow afternoon during and after your surgery.
It looks like the fridge id packed and ready.
I hate predators and this is what he sounds like, I do not have any social media other then my Blog site, I was hacked on facebook and stuff was posted with a photo of me that I am not sure how someone got.

Sending good wishes for your surgery tomorrow Grace.
You'll soon be home with it all over healing nicely.
Take care, (hugs) and lots of love xx
Social media can be a scary place Grace. Take care.
Love your newest Santa Gracie. I am a fan of 123 too as I have no cross stitch store near me. Best wishes for your surgery tomorrow. I know you will do well and be back to stitching and other crafts soon. Take care my friend. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
I love this new Santa!! I love 123Stitch also. You look very prepared. I am praying for you!❤️
A trick for opening Gatorade learned from my son: pick up the bottle upside down and bang the cap on the counter. This force loosens the plastic and makes unscrewing the cap easier. Gatorade was invented here in Gainesville, FL where I live. Hope it works and hope your hand is better. Adele
Aww, Gracie, I'm thinking of you and praying for a swift recovery!
I am working on that exact Santa! I ordered mine from 123 stich, too, and love the Mill Hill kits. They always look so amazing when done. As I was reading about your coyote sighting, I heard the pack that wanders my land come by and howl. Ours are not skinny either and I'm sure there they have a lot of rabbits to choose from as they are abundant. I hope your hand heals quickly so you can get back to stitching!
Blessings - Julie
Glad you're doing well, Gracie, and that you found something at 123! Yum, lasagna. I'm not sure if I had to be laid up for a surgery, that I would get a home cooked meal. Maybe McDonalds! It's good to have friends such as yours:)
That Mill Hill kit is lovely! I hope you'll get to stitch it soon.
