Rock To Wind A String Around

I’ve been planning all sorts of of post holiday updates but I’ve been side-lined by a blood donation.  What?   A blood donation, you say?  I know, it sounds crazy but something went horribly awry and I am now deeply bruised and swollen from my elbow into my hand (for those of you lucky enough to glimpse it on Monday, it looks a million times uglier now).  It isn’t all that painful, but it is inconvenient.  Typing and small muscle work in my hands is verboten, so is aerobic activity unless my arm remains stationed above my head for the duration.  I’m icing 4 times a day, and while all of that sitting seems like a fun idea, we’re throwing a party for the 100 or so people we see regularly on Friday nights this evening, so really, I’d like to use my arm NOW.  I was also looking forward to better work outs.  After 4 weeks of physical therapy, I was cleared for additional workouts on the day that I gave blood–but no longer.  Oy!

Whine, whine, whine…it will be fine, I will be fine, and more importantly, my husband (who has been home for 2 weeks!) looks fine

Off to ice, and to supervise the crafting of scrumptious treats for tonight’s shindig.  I’ll see you next year!
