Ah! The joy of being nearsighted ( and clumsy..)

 4 weeks ago I took a tumble down the stairs. Not from the top, but a little less than halfway, but is was enough to hurt myself profoundly. My back was hurt the most and I was immobilised for 2 days, half invalid for 2 weeks and now, after 2 more weeks it s finally getting better and I can move freely again.      ( almost)

I thought it was a good idea to start sewing frantically to make a use pile of the million triangles quiltshapes. Yeah…I did for a couple of days but then put the project aside. There s no fun in sewing while you can hardly sit comfortably.

Besides we were going from heatwave to heatwave; that made things uncomfortably too. ( heatwave nr 4 is to be expected coming week,yeah☹️)


So I picked up a book I got from Goodwill, the condition being “ well read”, but I didn’t mind that.

I love the series, although the Scotland era was the best imho and the last season was mwa. I read a lot of comments saying that the books were better and in some cases different so let s find out then. The sexscenes that were abundant in the tv shows are very much present in the book though and like with the shows, I started to skip those: yes, we know that you’re in love, yes you can’t get enough, yes it’s amazing, fantastic blablabla. It must be my age..LOL

After I took the right amount of painkillers prescribed, I started to take short walks. Also doctors orders.


Lovely with lower temperatures! 
I also did some online shopping: bought new “ears” to replace the in-ear Samsung ones that I couldn’t charge anymore. These are really comfortable for you wear them in front of your ears instead of in your ears. Bikerson’s idea👍🏻
I planned on listening to books but I kept falling asleep. I’ll stick to podcasts and music and do the reading myself..
Oh and I bought a bodypillow for my back. It takes up a bit of space in my bed but oh my: no more painful tossing and turning. Should have bought one years ago!

Tip of the day at the end of this post:
Wear your glasses when walking down the stairs half asleep!
