Life is Crazy!

This is the 3rd week since rotator cuff surgery and I am going crazy:) NO knitting, driving, exercising, for another 3 weeks. I have exhausted tv (rogue, Americans, Grimm, homeland, monday mornings, duck dynasty, swamp people, Dallas, revolution, Mr. Sheffield, star trek, justified,) you name it, I have probably watched it. Since I am now a one handed typist I am leaving off the caps etc until I can use both hands. Thank goodness for correction mistakes.

 I am now weaning myself away from the tv and turning to the internet. Well that wasn't great because I went over my budget this month way too soon. There are so many great knitting items out there to buy. (stitch markers, yarn clubs, knitting tools) and such great craftsman making them. One thing I have really enjoyed is seeing what everyone is dyeing, sewing, and creating for knitting. 

So to stop the buying craze, I have turned to my nook and kindle. B&N had some great quick reads last week on their free Friday blog (I think I ended up with about 20 books) and I just got Enchanted April for free on my kindle. I am hoping to be able to get at least one skein of Canon Hand Dyes to go with this book.(So much for the budget) I haven't checked to see if the movie is free on amazon prime, but I hope so. First I plan to read the book. NO tv for awhile. HA

On the home front, hubby has been wonderful keeping up with laundry, cooking, etc. and my exercises. I did get to spend a week with my son and daughter #3. She was wonderful taking care of me right after my surgery. She took a week off work and kept me company, helped me bathe, made my meals etc. She is a gem. Plus I got to see my grandson everyday. He is wonderful. They are wonderful.

Since I have been laid up the pounds are creeping up so I plan to spend some time getting back to eating healthy. The doc says I am prediabetic and I need to go on Atkins. Atkins? Well I have looked at it and looked at it, but I'm not getting anywhere with it. I know the carbs have to go but I'm not sold on this, but I know I have to do something. I really want to get the weight off and the sugar down. I know its just up to me to get this going, but sometimes the mind doesn't cooperate. I know its all about CHOICES but sometimes that is really hard.

Well I am going to try to post some picks of the goodies I have purchased and get to reading. Eveyone have a great day and enjoy the warm weather. If you live in the Midwest, stay safe and inside.
