I finally did it

 There will be no sewing for ...now. 

 Wednesday morning while trying to herd Murphy into the house, I tripped and fell. First of all let's not blame Murphy. I was wearing my Nike slides and well... should not run while wearing them especially on bricks. Once I was on the ground, Murphy was there to play. Lisa came running out when I yelled. I hit my left cheek bone on the Indian Totem statue, scraped my right knee and landed on my right shoulder. I iced and rested but yesterday afternoon when Lisa came in from work, I asked her to take me to the hospital ER because I knew I did something more than bruise myself.

We arrived at the hospital around 4pm. A Cat scan and x-rays showed a fractured right humerus. I have some bruising on my face and on my upper right arm. I am in a sling, and in the process of making an orthopedic appointment. Finally back home around 7pm. They hospital gave me a Percocet just before I left and a prescription.

"One of these days" has arrived. I have been lucky with previous falls. So my friends, no sewing for now and no Nike slides outside. My heel is not fully ready for a closed shoe so staying put inside is good for now. Glad you stopped by today. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your friendship.

An evening monsoon storm

Well, it came with a fury...the evening storm. First the winds began to whip everything here and there and then thunder followed by lightening. My fear of storms and being alone was high. I decided to go into my bedroom where I could pretty much block out the lightening...but alas, the thunder had me sitting tall. All of a sudden the rain began to pour down and sideways and like a whirlwind we were having a storm. Yes there was damage....

This is one of 2 trees from across the neighborhood which is now blocking the road. So no in or out directly.

This is the 2nd one in front of the other. At first thought...sorry but it is not our expense to clean up...but then look at the front of  our community....

This tree was healthy and gave nice shade to the homes out front...
Amazingly we have a tall dead tree that we are planning to remove and it is still standing.

This is yet another of our trees... a smaller one. There are shingles from someone's home all around...thankfully not from our community. Then this...

our flag pole took a fall...almost to the ground. So we did get damage and now for the clean up. The entire Valley was hit with this storm. Some lost electricity...we were lucky to keep ours. Of course the garden and pond have debris...didn't I just get it all clean? ...in the heat and sun?! with me getting a bit of heat fatigue?!
The air is humid and I will not be going out to clean anything this morning. The temp is around 81 and the humidity is 73% and projected temp will be around 107.... so, indoors is my plan. Aw... guess it will be beading and tatting today.
I visited with my pharmacist yesterday... his recommendation for my incision is to use Mederma Oil. Unlike Vitamin E this will help with scar tissue. I have been awake since ...early ….and need another cup of coffee..... I just heard on the news there may be more storm activity this evening... just what I need. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words.I value my friends and always have time for them whether near or far. Thank you for your friendship.

Finally awake, well getting there

A sunny chilly day but really refreshing out there. Spoiled by so many very warm winter days we now complain when the temp is normal.  There is a breeze but at last my garden is being tossed about.
Surprised at such a late post? Well late for me but I can "esplain lucy". The doctor told me to take the med at night at a couple of different times so I could judge how I feel in the morning. The pill will make you groggy she said. Now if my sis Lynowl is reading this she is rolling her eyes...anything that makes the average person a little groggy certainly will make me Groggy with the capital G! Last evening I forgot the pill so it was 8:45 when I took it. So what I thought. It will just let me sleep longer. No. I was awake at 3 AM hungry so a bowl of Shredded Wheat and a cup of coffee...I know ...no coffee at night. Well by 4 I was back to sleep but awake around 7. Here is almost 11:30 AM and I can say I feel as if I can function. I would not make any important decisions yet, or drive the car but it is safe to say I am awake.  Glenda and Don are having a garage sale so I took a walk there to get the brisk air so it would help me wake and I think it did help a little. I bought a nice small table and once it is in place I will take picture. In the meantime, if the afternoon is better I may make the Pizzelles that I am craving.

Isn't this Angel pretty. Yesterday Dianna came by and we took a short ride to get her some yarn. We admired these little Angels.  is made in the Raku method. When we returned here she changed my living room sheers for me. I am not sure of her exact words to me when she found that I was going to use the step ladder but she insisted on doing it. My sister friend. Dianna left and I went to get bread and milk and a shopping later I came home with very painful legs so I decided to rest with them up. As I was looking up at the window thinking how lucky I am for Dianna and I noticed something on My Denny and me book. It was this sweet Angel. You see, Dianna remembered that yesterday was one of those number days and she cares. She sent me an IM wishing me a belated happy birthday and a message "let me know when you find it". Good timing as I had just found the Angel. She is a very caring gal.
I  did begin another tatted snowflake late yesterday but not sure if today is a good day to work on it. This is my tale and this is all here is for today! Time to have something to eat and no more coffee. So glad to have you stop by to chat. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

*****How many days left?....11 *****
