Cindy’s Art Studio

It’s been warmer outside in the last week, the snow’s melting pretty fast. They had flood warnings out for southern Nance county today. Anyway, it’s been over a week since I heard a robin chirping, and today is the first time I saw one, 2-3-4-5-6 of them all in the same block. Spring is on the way for sure!

Last friday was the first time this year that we went to a fish fry…went to Bellwood to the bar (it was really good). Saturday went to a friend’s place and played Wii bowling…that was after having a fun morning fixing a leaky pipe in the basement. Today I got to spend $150 on groceries and I didn’t even get that much…it’s depressing how much food costs anymore…if I would have bought everything I wanted it would have added up to about $400.

Nothing else so that’s all for today…love ya, bye!

Well, I’m done with the physical therapy for my wrist and shoulder. I’m still doing the exercies though. I bought some light weights, and they gave me a shoulder pully from therapy so I could keep up on those too. My shoulder actually does feel better throughout the day if I do the exercises, and my wrist hardly hurts at all anymore. It still zings me at times if I move it the wrong way.

I have a vacation coming up at the end of March. I don’t think we’ll be going anywhere though. Probably just hang around home and maybe do some things outside if it warms up enough. I’m hoping that I can see my boys for Easter, but if not, oh well…

I don’t know if everyone knows yet, but Adam and his girlfriend Evie are going to have a baby, due the first part of August. I’m so excited to be a grandma!

Anyway, I guess that’s all for today…love ya, bye!

Waiting for the commercials on the super bowl. I don’t care about the game, just the commercials. (OH MY! Sacrilege!) You know I’m not the only one!

OK, progress so far on the wrist…it’s slowly getting better, still sore though, and it really zings me if I move it wrong. I’ve been doing the stretches and exercises the PT taught me to do, once a day at least (sometimes 2). I wear the wrist brace at work that they gave me, and will have to wear it probably for another month yet (just to be safe).

Well, this week there are a couple new shows and season premiers coming on tv. I’m looking forward to watching LOST and SURVIVOR as well as NCIS and the Monday night shows on CBS. I don’t do much exciting, just go to work and watch tv. I’ll have to start thinking on possiblilities for short road trips to take at the end of March. Bill can’t handle a lot of travel anymore, so it’s usually just a day trip or an overnighter somewhere…I can’t wait until it warms up outside so I can at least sit on the back patio and watch the fish in our pond!

Well, I suppose I’ll quit for today. I’m going to try to start posting on here again, it really has been a while since I was in the habit of it…OK Bye, love ya!

The time…Approximately 11:10am
The place…work, in the checkout lane
The incident…4 sheets of drywall falling slowly off a cart
The reaction…stupid…trying to stop it from falling instead of stepping out of the way
The result…twisting/straining/pulling in wrist causing pain, and in arm up to shoulder causing constant popping in shoulder
The procrastination…wait to see if it gets better on its own, wait 3 weeks, still hurts and isn’t getting any better so…
The treatment…a visit to the doctor and weeks of physical therapy
The cost…not sure, luckily I reported it immediately to the boss and its on workmans comp.
The goal…hope it works and I heal up!

Well, it’s almost the end of January 2010 already. I really wish that 2 more months will go by quickly…then I’ll have a week vacation. Nothing special planned yet, probably won’t do much, never do it seems. I just take those little mental vacations to the beach.

What I should be doing is starting to work on my taxes…oh joy! Enough said about that!

OK, nothing else right now, have to get ready for work, bye.

OK, I haven’t posted anything on here for a long time. I’ve been posting small things on Facebook instead. Nothing much new here, so nothing to really write about.

We had a nice time when all 3 boys came over for Thanksgiving, and we celebrated Christmas and my birthday at the same time. Good thing we did that because we had a big 3-day snowstorm over Christmas and they wouldn’t have been able to come then.

I got the best Christmas present ever…Adam told me that he and his girlfriend Evie are going to have a baby, due in early August! I’m so excited about my first grandchild, and I can’t wait!

I’m really ready for all this snow to quit piling up. Today it actually is 35 degrees outside…a lot better than -20 degrees of a few days ago.

I don’t have anything else right now, but I’ll try to start posting on here more often. Bye for now.
