The human body is a funny thing, for years Hubs was away and I moved entertainment centers, dressers, stoves, and other heavy objects by myself. I often knew the objects were too heavy for me to lifting, but where there is a will there’s a way is my motto. This week I bent over to pick up an empty basket, and managed to hurt my tailbone. I did manage to do some writing, but have not been able to make anything. Oh my goodness, covid lockdown, back sore and more than -20, and I am so bored bored Bored. lol I cannot wait to be inspired by all your activity and latest creations, thanks for sharing your joyful ideas.
