Every year, @turlough makes me a new knitted sparkle deer for my herd, and the latest arrived this week. Isn't it adorable!? Look at that face. Look at the delicate sparkles! I can't wait to add him to the others. Thank you so much, Turlough ♥
Well, it did snow earlier in the week and the temp dropped drastically, but the roads were clear, so we drove to the hospital on Tuesday. Despite going early, arriving at nine for a ten am appointment, we were lucky to get the very last disabled bay in the car park, as cars were double-parked everywhere, including on side roads.
Because we were early we'd planned on having breakfast in the staff/visitor restaurant, and that's exactly what we did, then off to the appointment. It was positive in some ways as the physio showed some simple exercises to build up James' shoulder, but as the report from the consultant from the appointment the day before hadn't reached the system yet, she couldn't really give any elbow exercises as while James could tell her he'd been okay'ed to release the brace, as there was nothing official to state that, she had to err on the side of caution. She did say he can't lift anything heavier than a glass of water atm, so guess I still have to carry shopping bags myself.
That day we also headed out to a local restaurant for a joint birthday celebration for my BiL and my nephew. The food was tasty and the company good. But I was very glad we didn't have to get the bus when we stepped out into the bitter cold and dark.
Wednesday turned out to be an unexpected Bodhisitting day. Lucy's job means that she can come home between calls if she hasn't many people to see. So, she dropped Bodhi off here for an hour around 1pm, picked her up again, then we went to their house for 6 and stayed until around half eight. Lucy did say she'd bring Bodhi to ours again, but I didn't like the idea of her having to be out so late, so it was just easier going there.
Yesterday we went to see Wicked, and I enjoyed it so much. Though, somehow it had escaped me that it was only half of a two film situation. Still, it was fun to watch and the hours flew by.
Today Storm Bert has hit, it's snowing heavily is very windy, and I have no intention of leaving the house. Instead, I've got a veggie soup cooking in the slow cooker, have Christmas films on as background noise and intend to get caught up online while snuggled in my Oodie.
