Home most of the day Saturday and got bored. I decided to work on some jewelry. I don't have my studio set up permanently yet but I do have enough to get going.
Attachment 8303 Bracelets for my neurology nurse and earring for a new friend. It was nice to have something to do but I notice my hands were shaking more that they used to. Anyone do metal stamping? Jace

I have a bird bath and the birds love it, there is an old grape vine wreath that I hung above it they sit on it and play in the bath. It is deep but if I keep just an inch or so of water in the bottom they play in it rather than just drinking. Will upload a pic if I can figure out how. Next I need a new feeder, maybe I will make one from stuff laying around the house.
I saw the doc today ok to drive but only close to home, still only one working vehicle so I won't be going anywhere anyhow. Long from back to normal yet though. Mostly the vestibular and headaches holding me back. |

LauraM,
The doc may have OK'd you to drive but please take a serious look at how you handle all of the driving tasks. I have driving days and days when I know I should not attempt to drive. I suspect you will notice the same. My best to you.

Mark,
I know....there are still a lot of days I do not do much and my husband takes my car most of the time as well. His truck is a stick, I do not know how to drive. I am lucky in that the tiny little city I live in has a lot of small stores and one way streets. I go out my street turn left onto a one way street to most of the stores I need, and come back on another one way street to the other end of my street. I stay off the highway, I could go to a bigger shopping center just half a mile away, but would need to get on the highway. I am safer this way. Thanks Quote:
