Spring continues....

I FINALLY got around to mopping the apartment. I started in the studio/living room figuring that it would dry first (which I was right about) and ending in the bathroom. It went rather smoothly until I finished in the bathroom. I had just finished the floor and stepped into the middle of the linoleum floor and my feet started to flail about. I tried hard to keep from falling, but down I went, HARD, on my right hip and my right wrist. Drat!!!! With my luck I broke something. I knew full well that if I tried to stand up, I would fall again, so I butt walked to the bedroom entrance and somehow managed to stand up. My hip wasn't broken, because if I had broken it, I wouldn't be able to stand on it. So, I very carefully walked down the hallway to the studio/living room and sat down. My wrist still kind of hurts but it isn't broken, if it were I wouldn't be able to do anything with it. So, I waited for the floors to finish drying and I emptied the mop water and put away the bucket and mop. I kicked back and worked on the mink bear that I was trying to turn inside out, which took quite awhile, as mink the way I do it, is hard to turn inside out. I finally got the mink dealt with and am reworking the head of the bear. I had sewn it on my sewing machine and the machine didn't like trying to sew mink with the hide and backing fabric. So, I had to remove all the stitches and am having to hand sew the head, which is working fine. I should be able to stuff, joint and finish the mink bear tomorrow. I put all the stuff back in the places they belonged (I picked them up before I started mopping) and sat down and had some lunch. The cats have happily slept through all the excitement of my falling on my fanny and wrist, mopping, putting the stuff where it belonged and fixing my lunch. Soon they will be ready to join me for bed. At least I accomplished some stuff today and didn't waste the whole day. Tomorrow I get to contact the thrift shop and see about the booth spaces for the sale in April. Hopefully there will be two things, one is that they have an empty spot, and secondly that they actually have two empty spots next to each other. What's so nice is that it has been so nice and warm. Here it is, nearly 8 p.m. and it's 71 degrees. Last week it was around 40 degrees at this same time. My neighbor friend is complaining about the warm temperature and that it will continue to get warmer. I'm saying that it is so great that we don't have to run our heating bill up because of the awful cold. I can do as I have been planning and paying a bit extra on my electric and gas bills and have a nice credit building for when fall and winter arrives. The only drawback to the warm weather is that the cats are shedding like crazy, and the floor looks like I have had a massive fur upcycling project going on. I swept yesterday and swept up about 8 ounces of cat hair. I swept again today and swept up another 8 ounces of cat hair. By the end of summer I should get enough hair to knit two dozen cats! How is your start to Spring going???? Hopefully you're having a great time. I am going to have to get more allergy tablets, I have been nearly scratching my nose off my face! I don't have to watch the clock to know when I am due for my next dose of allergy medication, my nose alerts me immediately!!! It wouldn't be so bad at home, but it's awfully embarrassing when I'm out in public!!!! Have a great night and a wonderful morning. I'm not too sure what I am going to be up to tomorrow afternoon. My gentleman friend called to tell me that he was going into town today if I wanted to ride along. He called about the time I was trying to get my fat fanny off the bathroom floor...and the phone was in the studio/living room. So, on that note, I'm going to get another glass of iced tea and get somewhat ready for bed. Have a great night and have happy dreams. Hugs to you all!!!
