Feeling frustrated~~~

It certainly has been the week. The weekend was okay.... just okay. Monday is best put aside. Tuesday was get out to the garden. Spent an hour cleaning the lanai and the garden and then bagged up yard debris. I discovered that my wet vac is also a fairly good blower. That means that I do not have to use the blower which has not been one of my better experiences.

My Lavender plant is in bloom. I am so pleased with it. This replaces the one that did not make it last year. However, the pot for that one just may have a plant starting to re-grow. Worth caring for and watching.

The Doves have finally made a decision to settle down. Happily it is not where they were first planning to set up home. This is a much safer and ideal place for them. Not sure if eggs are there yet but it seems so. Anyone passing outside my wall would thing that I am a crazy lady. I chat with them to reassure them that my moving about is not a danger. Once they get used to my voice and movements they will be relaxed. It was warm and I thought things were going well until I finally stopped. My hand ached so bad. Once out of the shower I iced and massaged my hand but it was going to be a lost do anything more kind of day. Wednesday was take the car for oil change and tire rotation. That went well. I met up with Dianna for lunch after and a good catching up time.

Oh my micro Romaine made for a very delicate salad...all 15 tiny leaves! More than anything it is just a fun and interesting item to have in the kitchen. there is another one started and just because, I started a celery one also. Not counting on having anything to eat from that one!
Up next was yesterday, Thursday. I had to deal with an electrician for the HOA and that put my attention span to nil for anything else. Yesterday in the garden I spotted a Robin! Yes a Robin who stopped at the birdbath for freshen up. Sat for a few minutes preening then once he left a Goldfinch took a drink. So nice to watch them.

This was finally prepared for embroidery but so many interruptions have left it in the basket. This may be the day it gets attention. The temps have been in the low 80s the past few days and it was perfect for sitting on the front porch reading. The next few days we are back to the high 60s/70s. I did find new fabric for my March origami star so that is on the work table waiting for me. So, it is not lack of what to do; more of when to do it and if my hand cooperates. I am frustrated that I can not just be able to do any of my crafts. Even simple tasks for chores are difficult still. The hand is slow to heeling. Yes, I know it has only been 2 weeks since the stitches have been removed..... I am just impatient. Plans are on hold for this and that which frustrates me. You don't realize how things like using eating utensils, writing, mopping and cleaning are effected. Enough feeling sorry for myself.... today will be a better day. It already is. You stopped by and that is a good thing. Thank you for the kind words and the encouraging emails and comments. Thank you for your friendship.
