February Comes to a Close…

February Summary

February this year has been a rough one. Last February was too. For different reasons. Both Februarys included last minute trips to MN due to good airfare prices. Despite many positive things from this month such as the trip to MN and Gaston’s lovely goodbye it seems all of it has been somewhat shadowed over by pain. I don’t like to go on about my chronic pain issues here much. I’ll mention it briefly so you understand why my posts are a little flatter than normal or why I may not be commenting on other blogs too often or replying to the comments you’ve left and then I leave it at that. I suspect the those who see me in real life on a regular basis have realized that it has been a pretty rough month for me. I’ve pretty much been on that pile of drugs above for most of the month. It seemed the most representative image of the month.

As for how 365 is going? I kind of dropped the ball this month. I didn’t miss any days until I went to MN and that kind of broke my habit. Then I came back and was out of the habit and was dealing with all the pain stuff and it got easy to let a day slip here or there. We also did little entertaining this month because the house has been stinky so that left me with little to photograph. Well, little photograph easily anyway. We all know my fall back photo subject is food! But, March is a new month and there is talk of a food related gathering for Purim this weekend instead of fika so hopefully March will be filled with more pics.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out yesterday! I have downloaded the manual for my machine. Not that is was particularly helpful for more than identifying the accessories, but now I’ve got it when I need it. Also, thanks for the buttonhole encouragement. If I’m lucky you’ll get to see what I’ve made as ECF and FO Friday.

I kinda thought something was a little off, but figured you’d let us know when you could. I’m sorry about the pain. I can only sypathize and empathize. I am so grateful I don’t have that. Take care and hopefully, the spring weather will give you a boost and some relief.

Having just been with my Mom for six weeks after her double knee replacement, I know the pain pills are a mixed blessing and can certainly affect a lot of other things in addition to the pain.

I hope you get some relief soon!

I thought you’d been kind of quiet but I assumed that, like me, you were busy. Let’s hope that March is a better month for you.

*hugs* I hope March is better for you…we just found out that RR has arthritis in his back so at least now we know he hasn’t just been whining for nothing ;o) (I joke…I knew there was something wrong which was why I nagged him to death to get to the damned doctor!)

I’m sorry to hear about your problems. Hopefully March and the rest of the Spring will bring you more and more better days.

If the pain really gets to you (physically or psycologically) take a deep breath and fondle some fibre or yarn. It works for me!
