Brag Post

Humble brag: 

I decided to try painting my grand-dog on a rock ... then I painted my beloved boy who passed 2 years ago ... then my other grand-dog.  They look so GOOD (!!)  I'll try my dogs soon.  It was the most fun painting.  I'm super limited by the colors I have so it could be better, but they totally look like the dogs.  Who knew I could do this?  

Yes, the chihuahua has a beard 
and a mohawk!

Chiropractor and acupuncture yesterday and it HURT.  He said it was going to be a hard one.  T11 and T12 are being stubborn, my hip was out of alignment AND my clavicle was really messed up.  I've been having such pain on my upper arms, shoulders and upper back.  He thinks I've stressed the area from TOO MUCH READING.  What?!?!?  In the position I've been using for my back.  Good lord.  That said, he thinks everything is healing well and 2 more appointments should do it.  Light at the end of the tunnel.

I didn't make the stew yesterday because I was sore.  Probably tackling it tomorrow.

Yesterday was the hardest NO TV day.  It was cold and rainy, I was sore and tired -- I wanted nothing more than to get on the sofa for the rest of the day.  But I didn't.  I ended up going to bed around 7 o'clock and I had a decent night's sleep.  I've been really tired from poor sleep.  My sleep schedule is finally normalizing to what my body likes -- early to bed and early to rise.  It's been off since the injury.

I finished Cloud Cuckoo Land (Anthony Doerr) and it was one of the best books I've read in a long time. Incredibly well written, such a creative story -- just wow!  I couldn't remember who recommended this, but it finally came to me ... it was a person in my bookclub.  I can't believe I haven't heard of it -- it's so good.

New pick:

Every single day this week a new (used) book has come in the mail.  I need to get reading!  

Today is another unseasonably cool day -- I had to bring my plants inside because of a frost warning.  BUT ... it should be such a good day.  Foot massage and CBD cream (never used this before) to help my tendonitis and then dogs (with hubby) to the park.  Dog fun AND rock hunting.  

Hope you're set to have a great day too.  Later gators.
