A CHANGE OF PLANS

 


As predicted…  it snowed a little bit here yesterday and the day before. We are expecting more today and tomorrow. I had hoped to ride down to the lake to drain my brain and find some solace. But instead stayed put here at home. My hubby promises me... we’ll go there soon. The Baker’s Cyst behind one of my knees ruptured last week and walking has been difficult at best. I have had to use a four footed cane to shuffle around. They say the fluid will be absorbed by my body. I’m supposed to ice it. Stay in bed, and rest. If it’s not better in a week…  I head to the doctor,  get an MRI and they’ll have a look see. I’ve had a string of bad luck recently… and felt getting the heck out of the house… is just what I needed. But, as long as snow is falling on and off, getting out on the hwy, probably isn’t a good idea. Too slippery. Black ice could pop up at any time, anywhere.  So I’ll vegetate here for now. Find a good book on one of  my shelves and dive in. Nothing too deep.  Maybe some ‘chic-lit’  from one of the UK or Scottish authors I usually like around the holidays…  with some sappy story to lighten my mood. Cuddled up in a Life Is Good blanket. A cup of hot African Autumn tea by my side.  Just thinking about it…  is making me feel better already.  Do you make time to read or just forgo it’s pleasures?
