Getting my ass handed to me....
Apr. 15th, 2025 09:13 amSo I was quite chuffed on Thursday. I had a plan of attack, I knew what I was going to work on....it just took me an hour to setup the studio for jewelery making and then to find the ear hooks I had, which I know I had but they were in the last box. I seriously need to purge and clean out that part of my cabinet...things would fit so much nicer if I just threw out the junk and stopped hording weird shit in weird baggies and old receipts? I have enough rose stuff to make a kit for just making rose jewelry which is nice but unhelpful when they are all over the place in that cabinet.
Ahem. So I made her earrings and then started in on putting together one of my items from the Feed the Ravens bead collectors box (non antiquity items), they are repros from Ribe so I'm stringing them all together to make a necklace. So yeah. I did make an order to rio grande for ear wires and new pliers and some other findings. But yeah I need to go through that stuff and organize it. Especially after I dropped a container and had things all over the carpet and had to pick things up. Sighs.
Friday I was very productive with work things and finished up the day and started in on laundry, playing star dew and relaxing. When I went to put things in the dryer it was making a weird noise. Like rubbing noise. So I knew I would have to take it apart and find what ever the boy had left in his pockets to get jammed in the dryer. But that was a Saturday problem.
We had a nice dinner at Guadalajara but traffic was absolutely dumb for me and Benton to get there. it took 4 times through the light at 22nd and Wilmot. But we had nice food, good drinks and an awesome server. Got to hear about ARi's trip to San Fran for work and just was nice to be out with the family. It had been a long time.
I went to bed early cause margaritas and over eating. Plus I was just tired from a long week. My guts were unhappy most of the week but that was slowly resolving and I wanted rest. Woke up in the morning and things cleared out and I felt so much better. Got coffee, watched YT to help in disassembling the dryer and that worked out great.
Benton was a good help and got tools etc. I'm glad Mel had bought me the ryobi hand vac and light setup so I could see what I was working on and clean things up. When I removed the door it fell to the ground and that is important to for later.
I found a nail that had wedged into the wool felt seal on the door to the drum. I put everything back together and when I was manhandling the door my knee went out. It was not fitting properly and things were not at a great angle. I was stuck cause the space in the laundry room was tight and it took a lot of effort and Benton to get me off teh floor. Mel was taking a nap. But I got myself up and slowly walked back into the house. Benton was nice to get doors and grab my knee icer and I then sat down and got iced up. Mel woke up and told him to get me ibuprofen as well. I was fucking miserable. And it was almost as bad as the last time. I was able to hobble around but it basically made doing anything awful. Mel had to fight to get the dryer back together and it didn't work but went I stood and pointed at what I thought the problem was (and was right) he fixed the door tabs and we reseated the drum and checked its spin before reassembling. It then worked perfectly.
So I did not knit I played more video games and stuff on my phone. I was in bed early but in a lot of pain. My hip was killing me and my knee but I finally got some sleep. Sunday things were better a bit and I made sure to move more with ice and heat wraps. I managed to make bread pudding and pulled my espresso maker out and made espresso after a few failed attempts. Mel had gotten me the heater for the unit and that helped a lot. Once I got my grind volume set I got the perfect espresso with perfect crema. I then immediately made it into a carajillo. It was perfect. I got the rest of my laundry done and got help switching from winter to summer blankets on the bed. We also rotated the mattress which was also good. The dryer worked perfectly. I did take it easy.
Monday I got on the phone with the chiro and had an appt at 915am. My hip was very very very out which did not help me and probably started the issue. But everything is aligned now though still very swollen. My hip is not happy but with walking its loosening up. I had to go into work after that for meetings which I did not plan but had to be in person. They really didn't need to be in person but I went anyway. It got me walking at least. I'm also looking so very forward to my massage on Friday. My last one a few weeks ago was cancelled so I'm sure that is not helping me either.
So yeah, annoyed at this meat sack. I'm trying to do better, I have plans and they keep getting tanked. sighs. I'm not heading to the gym for walkies tonight as planned cause things are still very sore but I'm working hard on walking a lot while at work. I'm also taking tomorrow afternoon off and just working from home in the AM. Its my birthday I shouldn't have to work but I will and since I had to go in Monday its okay. I have no other plans for my birthday. I'm really not at all caring and really don't want to acknowledge that I'm going to be 2 years from 50. I'm feeling old enough already thank you and just mad about it. I'm allowed. I guess.
Anyhoo...I guess this week is getting myself back on track and hopefully getting some progress stuff.
Yesterday I came home and put all of my laundry away, reorganized a drawer under the bed I can't get to well and packaged up some things for shipping. I do need to do a clothing purge again but I'd like help with that. So we shall see. Anyhoo..plans a plenty just need to try to get things done amidst the world burning down.
