Catchup - Feb 10th-13th

 Feb 10th

Well I tried to make it for 8am but slow going so got here 9:15am. All was good and no trouble letting the Crew out or breakfast prepped and them fed with a longer visit outside again! Lexi snuck to the door just before and Wheeler coming up second.

It took me longer to relax after settling in! Now the Crew is napping and me with feet up watching the Olympics!

How true!!!

I finally got to watch "The Quilter" on Netflix - good story and awesome quilts! Pulled my heartstrings that's for sure, but glad some are finding peace while quilting!

I'm getting energy to sew some blocks, my temporary setup. Similar to two behind the machine, called potato chip blocks. I'm so pleased with this scrapbooking box and picnic plastic flannel backed table cloth cut to 12.5" squares that a quilter at the Meadowood Thursday sewing showed me. Then on each square I planned out my blocks, stacked inside and held in place with a 12.5" square ruler with bagged extra chips on top. This I can use also with my I Spy layout blocks too! Organized, ready to sew, sewn blocks stored all together and compact too!

Okay Canada's men's curling finished with a win so I went out for a driveway walk. Crisp out there and even with my ear covers, I had to put up my hood, next time I'll wear my hat!

The right side jut out was a stop to check out some tiny foot prints. There was no point taking a picture as I had nothing with me to size it, but I'd guess 1" in total with 3 tiny toes?

OMGG finally I see what is stirring up the barking here!!! There are THREE deer crossing the yard to the neighbour's feeder (that was not there with the previous owners).

Feb 13th

OOOOHHHHH what a lovely morning, just a slight breeze and loads of sunshine! Thanks for the chair as I can't stand too long!!!

Well today was my 10th Laser Spinal Decompression Therapy and I had a reassessment done too. Basically I'd say my pain level and duration time has decreased 30-50%, plus I'm walking a km or so 3-4 times a week in the hallway or outside carefully. The one thing I've noticed since starting this is the numbness and tingling in my right foot has just about gone away. But the last 3 weeks or so I've noticed a very sore sometimes bad pain in my lower right side just off from the spine but not in the hip. I mentioned it and basically the pain will travel and hopefully ease up.

I've another 10 visits then another reassessment as I'm halfway through the initial treatment cycle. Hopefully my pocketbook can manage this!

Also today I tried out their vibration plate (free with session) for 3 minutes and that sure shook and loosened me up. Will have to look that up and see if it's something for me to buy!

Ohhh BOY, I was listening to the tracking but felt good and my stops leaning over the sticks were further apart, so I waited for the km announcement. Sure hope I didn't over do it!

Okay am I feeling better or getting sick? Not only did I get some exercise earlier but also made supper from scratch. Besides my salmon steak (which I slightly over baked) Angie left some mushrooms and a huge bag of Romaine lettuce to use up. So I made a Greek ceasar, not that great. Gotta pick up some ceasar dressing as I'd run out of and dang forgot the Parmescan cheese! Oh well it was all delicious and now enjoying my Christmas wine, nectarine and watching Canada Olympic hockey!
