My days are spent doing the same old things. Paying bills, getting groceries, running errands, taking art and Spanish class, laundry, cooking and all the usual day to day stuff. Nothing real exciting or even interesting for a blog. I guess things here seem so normal to me now that most of the time I don't take my camera with me, so don't have pictures of things other people might find odd; but are just normal to me.
I did make a couple of posts on the art blog, link to that blog is on the right hand side of this blog, I quit posting my paintings on here as I thought I was boring everyone and if you were interested you would go to the other blog.
I sent a couple of pastels paintings north to Canada hopefully they will get there before the Christmas mail rush. In fact they should be there by now I think. I haven't talked to anyone lately so am not sure.
It has been chilly and windy here for a couple of days and my aches and pains have been bad, in particular my neck and shoulders. I have Fibromyalgia so I ache worse when it is cold and windy. I skipped art class one day and the next day headed uptown and bought some wheat. I came home and sewed myself a wheat bag. If you are not sure what this is, it is very simple. It is wheat, seeds of course, sewn into a cloth bag of whatever size you want, as long as it will fit into your microwave. You then heat it up in your microwave, time depends on the size of the bag. When it is comfortably warm you take it out and put it onto your achy areas. It really seems to help and yesterday I managed to make it to art class, as I could actually turn my neck again without a lot of pain. Yay, wheat bag. You can also add some aromatic herbs to your bag if you like, lavender is one that lots of people like. I didn't as I have allergies to a lot of scents and don't tolerate scents close to my face very well. I also sewed a door snake to block the drafts coming in under our door.
The landlords sons new home is coming along. They put the roof/ceiling on for the first floor when I was in Canada in August and are now working on the walls for the second floor rooms.
