Blogging on Hold

I'm afraid I will not be able to post too much until I resolve my carpal tunnel issues. Everything I enjoy doing involves some type of repetitive motion. My husband is helping me with some of the chores like chopping food, doing dishes, making the bed etc. All activities that appear to worsen my condition. Knitting, cooking, and working out are out of the question. I see a doctor on Wednesday and hope that I can resolve this quickly. It has been three weeks now that I have been experiencing pain from this condition. Just holding a book for too long is painful.
Last Tuesday was my son's birthday, next week it's my daughter's birthday. Next Saturday we will be attending a wine-tasting at PRP wines in Elk Grove, it should be fun.

Wednesday, March 3rd.

On Wednesday Zoe and I were supposed to meet my friend and her daughter at Lifetime fitness, but my carpel tunnel was acting up and so Zoe and I opted to go for lunch at McDonald's play place. My son had an appointment so he met us afterwards and we ate lunch together. It has been a challenge this week not to over-do. Most of my hobbies include using my hands, so I tried to do everything in stages.
My son is still looking for permanent work so I saw the kids a lot this week. On Sunday we went down to get their photo's taken for the LT Fitness memberships. Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday I was with the kids at least a few hours, so today I'm trying to rest. I will probably start going to LT next week with or without the kids as I'm getting squishy in the middle from not using the machines. I have been using my treadmill at home so I'm at least getting some exercise.

Knitting is out of the question right now, I owe my daughter a hat and scarf in gray Alpaca that I have been trying to finish since before Christmas and I have an ongoing blanket in a wool and acrylic blend that I can pick anytime although it is not portable due to it's size. That brings me to a little side note on my trip trip to Hawaii and my plan to visit a quilting and yarn store while I was there. It never got off the ground because we were just to busy with outdoor activities and I usually don't drive while I'm there. Next time I go, I want to drive so no-one has to tag along unless they want to.

Here is another photo of my husband and I in Hawaii.
