So today I am 42 years old. My body feels like it is 82 years old, but at least it doesn’t look it. LOL.
Birthday Bag
Last weekend, Tony gave me an early birthday gift. He drove me to a mall with its own Harvey Seat belt Bag store. I was like a kid in the candy store as I was trying on all the handbags. To top it off, the store had some hidden coupons in the candy bowl as part of their Halloween promotion. I was able to pick out a “trick or treat” card that had a 50 percent off coupon! It was like a birthday gift from heaven. Inside, I was doing happy dances as my handbag was being totaled and wrapped up. I was able to get a thicker strap to add to the bag too!
I love the Harvey Seat Belt bags. They are sturdy, well-balanced, and made of seat belts. It is a stylish way to recycle! I am such a handbag addict. I gave a ton of my handbag collection away before I moved into our new place last year. I just did not have the closet room anymore for it. Handbags lost the battle, and my yarn stash won. I gave away half my yarn stash last year too, but it is slowly building up again in the smallest closet in the world.
These days, I don’t have the finances to splurge on my old addictions of handbags. clothes and shoes. Medical bills take priority, followed by my knitting therapy. Next week, I am supposed to get the Botox in my butt procedure, followed by the nerve burning procedure for my butt joints in December. Hopefully, both procedures won’t get delayed any further and come with no complications when I recover. Both procedures are temporary, and won’t cure my pain levels. But, I am just hoping for a few more good days to help me survive the holidays and start the new year. I won’t be able to afford to do the procedures regularly. So I am hoping the results last longer than expected.
Birthday Blooms
Today is my actual birthday. Tony decided I needed a surprise to arrive on my actual birth date. So I got a surprise delivery or pink flowers in a plant this morning. I am hoping to plant it as it grows to put on the front porch area. But, I do not have a green thumb. Hopefully, this birthday will bloom anyway, and my untalented thumbs won’t kill it.
I have not had any knitting mojo lately. I really miss my knitting therapy. It does help me stay sane. But, I guess after you reach a certain pain level, the ability to knit is lost while the ability to knit with mistakes is multiplied, leading to dead, frogged projects. Hopefully, it will come back. My body will not survive without it.
Looking forward to Christmas. Decorating will be so much more fun now that I am out of apartment living and in a house. Tony says we will get a tree this year, and I am just dying to get the ornaments out and hung!
Well, we will just see how I am doing as the weather turns colder and rain falls more frequently. Still living one stitch at a time even if I am not knitting.
