Okay...I am prepared...I think

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 nothing I 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.

The day will get better.....?

Dianna and I spent part of yesterday together...always fun. Arriving before 10 am and ready with a pose and ready......

to hang sheers in the living room. Dianna did not want me on the step ladder as I would need to use the higher one. Like many people she is taller than I am. After she fussed about with the set up we then went out for brunch at Village Inn for strawberry crepes, hash browns and pie. The hours spent with Dianna always put a smile on my face.  We texted often and she gets me through the storms both weather wise and emotional.
The afternoon was nice and relaxed with thought of how to re-arrange the living room corner. No, I am not doing it on my own. Finally my back is feeling okay and I am surely not going to mess it up. I did on-line search for a new dining/kitchen set because that room is also in the mix. Right now I am waiting for the coffee to finish brewing. That it itself has been a chore. It really started last evening.... I had made tempura fried shrimp so after cleaning the kitchen and dishes,   I lit a Yankee Candle tart burner.

Not a problem. That was when I went to distinguish the light and spilled hot wax from the top all over the counter and the burner....green wax. Well off to bed I went leaving it all to cool. This morning it was the first thing to do. I decide to start the coffee first...spilled a full glass of water all over the opposite counter and floor. So, all is finally clean and the coffee is just finished. The day will get better...yes. No plans except maybe to Staples for ink and to the bead shop for supplies and to the market for milk...guess I do have plans for the morning at least. It is all making me tired so I best get that coffee and savor the first cup. Glad you were here to hear my tale. Speaking of tales...if you follow me on Facebook you may have seen my post yesterday, if not go to my FB page and meet Janet....!https://www.facebook.com/grace.piccirillihorton. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words and friendship. It is going to be a good day!
