Do you ever wonder how great you are at handling pain? Since we cannot feel what others feel do you ever wonder how much of a wimp you are when it comes to pain or do you have a high pain tolerance. Sometimes I wish we could figure out w way to know this. I would like to feel I’m not a wimp but I suspect I may very well be.
As we all know there is a big push to lesson single use plastics to save the environment. Last time I got groceries I got deli meat, already packaged in plastic, hot dogs, double wrapped in plastic and bananas which have a hardy outer skin that does not need too much protection. All of these items were placed in separate plastic bags and then placed into the paper bag that will save to planet. This makes me shake my head.
Due to some health concerns I have Homecare visit me each day. I am grateful that I live in a country where this privilege is afforded to me and I do not have to hike to the hospital each day for dressing changes. Another thing I am pleased is that when the nurse or the aid gets here and if they are early they will come in and chat for a bit. They could wait outside but they come in. That pleases me.
Currently I am working on going through all the boxes and baskets or bags that I have stuffed full of things and are starting to pile up all over the house. It’s threatening to get out of hand and I need to beat it into submission before that happens. I have done around my chair and am currently working on the dining room table. It feels good to see the progress.
The banker and I did several medical related appointments last week and when we were done we got pumpkin spice lattes and took a drive around town. It was wonderful. I have not been out and about for awhile and it felt so good to be out and see what’s happening around the city. I. Had a lovely time and got aMy favourite flavour of latte to boot.
Well, I think I am going to knit for a bit before I go to sleep.
Toodles, Linda
