My neighbour knocked on my door today. Haven't seen your light on in the front window where you sew, she said. Haven't heard the hum of your sewing machine through the paper-thin walls of our kitchens.... thought you might be dead. Ha Ha. Presumably the only thing that could keep me from sewing is passing on to the Happy Hunting Ground.
There's a simpler explanation. I'm laid up with a bad back. I'm not exactly sure how it happened. I think it was from moving the boxes in my spare room (to give access to the heating system by my landlord and his heating specialist). One moment I was fine and the next, I was twisted like a pretzel. I walked around bent over for a couple of days. It's very annoying, not to mention painful, not the worst of which was that at that angle I could see all the dust that has accumulated on top of the base boards. I'm somewhat taller and straighter now. And I'm keeping busy reading novels from the stack of dusty to-be-read pile of books. I hope to be back sewing in the next couple of days.
I was wondering about you, too. Sorry about your back. Take care and here's to a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteYup, I just knew you weren't at your machine! Rest,use heating pads, and rest some more. The sewing can wait. Be well!
ReplyDeleteThat is why I hadn't heard from you. What a bummer, I have gone through the same thing and still to this day hadn't figure out how it happened. Rest, take some Aleve or some other type of meds for relief and I'll look forward to your wonderful works and writings.
ReplyDeleteOuch, always a hard one to bounce back from. Heat on the area, rest and hand work, that's the ticket! Hope you feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your back. I can relate, especially the part of not knowing how it happened. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI hope your back gets better soon! I know you must be very frustrated not being able to sew!
ReplyDeletesure hope you get better soon! we all have coughs and stuffy noses here. i'm mad at myself because i hate to get sick! haha. feel better!
ReplyDeleteI think it is good that you have a concerned neighbor. I was thinking you were conspicuous by your absence. Nice to know you are getting straightened up and won't have to be bothered by the dust on the baseboards much longer. : ) Take care. I've been through that kind of back spasm thing. No fun!
ReplyDeleteOh Dear! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteSo Sorry to hear you're laid up with this. I know how painful it can be. But don't worry, your blocks will wait patiently for you!
