The other day, when I was sitting on the garden wall, enjoying the sun, there was a lizard sunning itself a few feet away from me and it looked at me and bobbed its head, as if in recognition that I was another fellow cold blooded individual in need of the sun's warmth! LOL.<br />The cramps were really painful, this time. But, my hands are fine, today, though.<br />M is truly a wonderful friend. He has some clients who like to change things out from time to time and when they have things they want to dispose of, he often asks them if he can recycle them and asks me if I'd like to have them, hastening to assure me that I'm under no obligation to accept it. I've received several plants for the garden as a result and the new nozzle was another such item; I am currently receiving edging stones that someone is getting rid of - I will be able to use them when I make another vegetable bed in the spring. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-27168014565903078372022-10-31T16:19:37.962-07:002022-10-31T16:19:37.962-07:00My hands are fine, today, Lyssa, thank you.

I did some cleaning, but, not the mending! <br />They are small holes and I am not doing anything too fancy like picking up stitches and reknitting a patch, etc. I'm just sewing around the hole with self-colored wool to stabilize it and then, filling in the holes as best I can. I am not bothered if the mending can be seen - It's a wool sweater and I appreciate it for the warmth. :)<br />M is a good friend and a bit like the younger brother I never had! :DBlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-18884066733272124062022-10-31T16:10:55.606-07:002022-10-31T16:10:55.606-07:00Oh, Bushlady, I'm so sorry you fell, but, so g...Oh, Bushlady, I'm so sorry you fell, but, so glad you didn't break a bone! Even so, it sounds like you got quite badly bruised; resting and icing is good and so is taking an anti-inflammatory. Yes, please do have it looked at by a medical professional if needed. <br />I guess using the new nozzle was too much for me; I really need to do some hand exercises to strengthen my grip! <br />I've had to postpone my Covid booster till Wednesday, as the pharmacy was too busy and understaffed. Glad that you were able to book your boosters and flu shots. <br />Hope you feel better, soon.

Maybe I'll be able to pick up some reduced price Halloween candy! :D<br />Sounds like you've been busy in your garden! Ooh, spring bulbs! My paperwhites are coming up!

I'm glad you went back to bed after breakfast and the Covid test was negative.

I guess using it did tire your hands though and the sewing must have been too much. I've just booked our Covid boosters on-line, also flu shots.<br />I'm not too mobile at the moment as I fell on a trail by the river yesterday. I'm not sure what happened, a trip or a slippery leaf, but I landed face down hard with my right thigh hitting a small root. I'm fortunate that I didn't break a bone but the muscle is in poor shape and I put ice on it and rested on the bed for 3/4 hour and also took an anti-inflammatory. The swelling went down a lot and it is much better but still needs some TLC. I didn't go to the ER as I figured some basic first aid was better than sitting for hours waiting for someone else to tell me to elevate it and put ice on it! If it doesn't improve significantly I shall visit the doctor.Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-6854171852059212002022-10-31T08:47:52.937-07:002022-10-31T08:47:52.937-07:00I am glad your cramping pain improved.

I hope you don't spend too much money with that side-effect shopping thing that happens to you. lol<br />I did some work in the yard this morning weeding & cleaning and prepping a couple beds for winter. I am always glad I do these two beds in particular because they hold a lot of spring bulbs. It is nice to have them tidied up already when things start to come through the ground next year. <br />I hope you manage the booster well. 56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-27707114890811051352022-10-31T08:10:27.545-07:002022-10-31T08:10:27.545-07:00Sorry to hear about the hand cramping and hope it ...Sorry to hear about the hand cramping and hope it settles down so you can finish your repairs. And also hope the trip to get the Covid jab goes smoothly.<br /><br />I've spent most of the day in bed. I didn't feel too good when I woke up but though it was due to tiredness and the travelling but I had to give in after breakfast and went back to bed. I'm up now and have done a Covid test which is negative, so it looks like I either have a cold starting or it's a reaction to the stress of the hospital visit. xxEileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-82327270084152560642022-10-31T06:27:21.129-07:002022-10-31T06:27:21.129-07:00Happy Halloween.

I mostly went back and forth between playing my video game - it's a role-playing game with others - and doing odds and ends of light housekeeping. It was actually very relaxing. The highlight was making a new friend in the game. <br />We do still have a big bowl of candy to give out to the trick or treaters and I put a spooky decoration in the window for them. But I don't go out for costumes etc. <br />Monday - back to my volunteering and class at the university. This keeps me real.
