| Jade Plant Flowers |
It was another mostly sunny day and warm. I walked for a little bit (15 minutes), checked on the garden and the parkway trees (still there!) and took this close up of the flowers on the jade plant. Aren't they pretty?
I had some really bad pain in my right hand, last night, at the base of the thumb and wrist. I think it was due to playing too many online games! Did I take something for the pain as any sensible person would have? Of course not!
This morning, the hand was still painful and slightly swollen. I tried to do everything from brushing my teeth to responding to blog comments to opening a can of tuna for Dancer with my left hand. When you are right handed and try to do things with your left hand, things take twice as long and seems twice as difficult to do! I iced my hand throughout the day and now, the pain has subsided quite a bit. I also took some OTC pain medication after dinner.
But, I took it easy today and didn't do any cleaning.
Brunch was the last leftover waffle with katta sambol. Followed by pomegranate for fruit. I had some cream crackers with my evening cup of tea. Dinner was a ham sandwich. Mini peanut butter cups for dessert!
Today, I am grateful for:
- Another sunny and warm day
- My hand feels better after resting, icing, and the Tylenol
- Being able to take it easy
- Kind blog comments
- Phone calls and emails from friends
Today's joyful activity was video chatting with my daughter.
Plans for tomorrow includes tending to the garden with M. We might plant the rest of the succulents plants he rescued and brought me. Depending on how my hand is, I might or might not do some cleaning.
How was your Tuesday? What are your plans for Wednesday?
Tuesday we spent in Norwich trying to find a pair of shoes to fit my OH. We had lunch in a little church cafe in the city centre. Beautiful home made soup served by friendly ladies. Then I went to Garden Club in the evening. Today will be Housework Day
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a lovely day, Angela. I hope you found the shoes! Hope Housework Day goes well! :)
DeleteYour jade plant flowers are gorgeous. Sorry to learn your hand was painful and hope it is fully back to normal soon. It is difficult to cope with one hand is out of action especially the right one if you're right-handed.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. The hand is back to normal, today, and I really appreciate being able to use it! :)
DeleteSuch a pretty picture of the jade flowers. Do they have much of a scent? Glad your hand is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell, they don't have a scent, but, then, again, my sense of smell is not very good! I can't smell quite a few things. Thank you; yes, my hand is back to normal, today, and I'm very glad! :)
DeleteHope your hand heals! I used to get something like that when I had a lot of ironing each day to do! beautiful blossoms. andrea
ReplyDeleteThank you, Andrea. My hand is back to normal, today. I think too many repetitive movements triggered a bit of an inflammation.
DeleteThe Jade flowers are very pretty. I never saw any before. I can't imagine trying to open a can with my left hand, it must be really difficult. (especially with an impatient kitty waiting!). I hope your hand gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteThe jade flowers are very pretty, aren't they? It's not easy to open a can with a manual can opener when you are using your non-dominant hand! Happily, my hand is all better, today. :)
DeleteI hope your pain has eased by now. Those Jade flowers are beautiful. X
ReplyDeleteMy hand is back to normal, now; thank you Jules. :)
DeleteThe closeup of the jade plant flowers really show what delicate & pretty flowers they are.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your hand was quite painful. Reading through the comments, I see it is feeling better.
The jade plant flowers are very pretty, aren't they?
DeleteMy hand was rather painful (and I still don't know what triggered it), but, it is fine, now. :)
