The good is that my birthday is tomorrow and I will be 76! I can't believe I've lived this long. The bad part is I have had sciatica for 3 days now and if I move a certain way it feels like someone hit me with a cattle prod and I literally yell out loud. It wakes me up several times in the night but today I finally called the doc and he prescribed a pain reliever as the Tylenol wasn't doing the trick. The ugly part is that Sunday we are supposed to get an ice storm and I need to get firewood in the house and more kindling but with my back/hip I'm not sure how that's going to work. I just got the pain reliever today and they delivered it as I can't drive in this condition....not sure I could even get into my truck. I did manage to sweep out the fireplace a bit and bring some kindling in but I will wait until tomorrow to bring in the firewood. I have plenty in the garage without having to go outside but I'll need kindling as once it rains there won't be any that is dry. I pray we don't lose power.
Meanwhile, I have done some handwork. I'm almost done with the 2nd row on my granny square blanket using the join as you go method. There are 14 squares in each row. This isn't mine but since I can't take pictures anymore this is the designer's blanket and I am following her colors and placement.
I made my Goodreads Challenge in 2024 of 52 books actually I read 54 and now I've upped my challenge for this year to 62 books.....we'll see. I'm reading some Leslie Meier "Lucy Stone" mysteries and I'm enjoying them.
What are you enjoying in this quiet time after the holidays?
