Things are slowly improving... hooray... wearing loose pj bottoms is part of the reason why!!
Weird to find a coating of strange looking snow this morning. I looked like at rained on top of the snow...little holes and a crunchy coating. It's gone now!
Well... the bruise has developed into a large hematoma. Wearing anything with a waistband is awful... so I am staying in my pj bottoms. Thngs are still painful and I am restless at night but sleep too much in the daytime.
My daughter and her family were in Springfield, Mo for her sister-in-law's funeral when the funeral director had everyone come inside.. a tornado was two blocks away... They had planned on dinner in Springfield before they headed home but when everything cleared they headed home ASAP. The trip home was rainy and very windy but no more tornadoes. .. though there were more reported all over Missouri....I worried the whole time til my daughter texted me that they were home!!
Bob set up an appointment at Care Now for me this morning. He says that he told me he was going to.. but I don't remember. Anyway we were there st 8.30... no temp... great blood pressure and the doctor wanted an x-ray. No x-ray tech here in Blue Springs so we went to the Care Now in Lee's Summit....Nothing broken nor cracked. So it is Tyenol. cold compresses and time!
We arrived home... cold compress in place and I slept for hours... trying to stay awake now.
Good that I had something to work on.. fell on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Lost my balance and have a horrendous bruise on my back and a lump on my face. Don't feel much like doing too much so sitting and working on the elephant was good.
It almost seemed like Spring today...almost 76 degrees. We rearranged the deck furniture and tossed down all the branches from the last wind storm (?). The trees around are still leafless so sitting on the deck was too hot!!
I have been working on a little lavender elephant ... an order. Two legs to go !
I have been saying that when I reach 7,000 bears and friends it will be time to retire ...I have 20 to go. Not sure that I will retire. I have loads of supplies left... so what shall I do?
I made my first bear when my younger daughter was 9. I won't say how old she is now but she is the mother of my 22 year old grand daughter!!
When I was doing craft shows she would go along and carry a bear under her jacket . She would pull it out and tell people that her Mother made the bear and that I had a booth "over there".
BTW... she still has that "first bear".
It rained and rained yesterday and then the temperatures dropped. Very little crusty snow today. I didn't hear much of the wind (which had been predicted) but some of the local school buildings and my elder daughter do not have electricity..
So schools districts have cancelled school... or will be teaching from home. School calendars will be reorganized soon..
My daughter's electricity came on... for ten minutes. Time enough to make a cup of coffee! Then it went off....but she had her coffee!
.
Spent today finishing a bear made from scraps of mohair fabric...It rained all day even though the temperature was quite nice... 60's. But starting tonight a blizzard is supposed to arrive with super high winds.
Because of the winds schools may be closed... I'm glad I grocery shopped earlier this week though we surely could survive with all the Girl Scout cookies piled on top of the fridge.
Our TV is off... no Trump State of the Union address for us.
