I have had a very quiet weekend. I did a couple of loads of laundry, spoke with my aunt and my friend, did a little gardening, did some housework, and felt a bit out of sorts. I've been trying to declutter, but, I am struggling with that. But, then, I knew that I would have a difficult time towards the end of the month, when I needed to find larger numbers of items to declutter. Honestly, it is like pulling teeth!
In the meantime, my daughter sprained her ankle on Thursday evening, shortly after her acrobatics class - not while doing acrobatics, but, at the end of class, while stepping off a padded mat. Fortunately, one of her friends gave her a ride home so she didn't have to call for a ride share to get home. Her ankle is still swollen, but, she has been icing it, and she ordered a pair of crutches which were delivered to her today so she doesn't have to hop on one foot around her apartment. I feel bad that I am not there to help her.
I am grateful for:
- Daughter's injury is only a sprain, not anything worse
- The garden harvests
- Sunny, warm days
- M's help with the garden
- Making even some progress with the decluttering
Weekend joyful activities have included spending time in the garden and reading.
My plans for Monday include the usual Monday chores and watering the back garden.
How was your weekend? What are your plans for Monday?
Sympathies for your daughter (ankle pain is a current problem here too)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela. It's hard to deal with an injury like that when one is alone.
DeleteI hope you're feeling better Bless and I do hope your daughter recovers quickly from her ankle sprain. It's going to be raining all day today according to the weather forecast so it''ll be a day indoors I think.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. I'm sorry that your forecast calls for rain, all day. Yes, sounds like a good day to stay indoors and keep dry. :)
DeleteIs your daughter able to work from home? I hope the ankle is better soon. I know you wish you were there to help.
ReplyDeleteThank you, June. Yes, fortunately, she is able to work from home. That's a real blessing, isn't it?
DeleteIsn't it hard when you are not able to be there to help? I hope it won't take too long for your daughter's ankle to heal.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bushlady. Yes, it's hard not being there to help her. But, she's managing on her own. :)
DeleteWishing your daughter the best as her ankle heals. Take care, Bless.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anonymous. :)
DeleteI'm so sorry about your daughter's ankle. Hope it heals quickly. It's not easy being so far away. Makes you feel quite helpless. Hopefully just chatting with her will keep her spirits up!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. Daughter says the swelling is going down but she sent me a picture and it looks quite swollen still to me! Fortunately, she is able to work from home, so doesn't have to manage public transit with crutches!
DeleteJust catching up. Was Jack n the Dells a few days with sister and her husband. I'm sorry your daughter sprained her ankle. I hope it heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie.
DeleteHope you had a good visit with your sister and her husband. :)
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. Sending her my best wishes for a speedy recovery. Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. She has a video call appointment scheduled with her doctor as it has been a week and her foot is still swollen and she's unable to put any weight on it.
DeleteI am sorry to read about your daughter's sprained ankle. Yes, it is hard when you live alone when you have something like that. I know you wish you were there to help her.
ReplyDeleteI hope as I read on that she is much improved.
All the best to her.
