Quickly on a Saturday evening before it turns to Sunday morning

 

A lot did not go as planned this week!

No anniversary picnic; it rained; and I ended up

at a medical appt because of what is most likely 

sciatica. Not what I figured would happen at 44 years of age;

actually it was happening at least at 43 but it got a bit

worse this week so everything changed course; 

I am looking at PT now in the future and more appts.

It's not debilitating pain but was worsening to the point

where I could not ignore it.

So I was going to have a meal tomorrow

but we had to postpone that too; it's a lot of work to 

do a meal right, even when you have learned many ways

to make things simple.

I have not even changed my summer tablecloth yet

nor tidied much.

My Husband has been helping with dishes; I am having

very hot baths to try to feel better.  Boy am I so

BLESSED to have my Husband and also good medical

insurance.  We may redo the picnic in about a month's time

if the weather is good; I even know what date I would pick for it.

We are going to eat some of the food that I got meanwhile

and that is a very cheery thing; simple sandwiches that are easy

to make sounds like just the thing right now.

My Husband gave me two books for our anniversary!

(He got some minatures for his gift, a knight on foot and another

warrior on horseback; but he does not want me to share 

pictures so that's that.)

Mr Husband has also put up some more pictures in his office

and in our hallway and I am very pleased with the progress.

I am hoping to redo the meal we had planned for early October on the

Sunday before Canadian Thanksgiving.

I am quite relieved not to have it now as it became too much 

for me to do but I really feel I have a good path forward

and learning some stretches will help greatly and 

I will be more functioning again.

Also lesson learned, I think, of giving myself more space in the week

to prepare for a meal.  This week ended up

being too crowded so that when I suddenly had a flare in my 

lower back and an unexpected medical appt, it put me

behind in such a way that doing the meal would have

only done me in instead of being that which I most love to do.

I am dreaming of that meal still to come and also

wishing for a fun tea party at my house one day,

I know some of my NJ friends would love that.

So I am feeling quite glad about things.

Anyway, thanks if you read this long and God bless and keep you!
