Connie's Corner

Oh...relief!

After lunch I could not stand this bandage one second longer so I got busy getting it off...warm water and more warm water. Oh it felt so good. It is now history and I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Stitches look good, six I think. And it is horizontal instead of vertical as I thought it would be (that's how the one on my right temple was done). Around my eye is turning a little yellowy-green but that will go away soon enough. Cannot wait to get these stitches out Wednesday. I even went grocery shopping after "the removal", no bandaid or anything, my hair and earpiece to my glasses covers it well . Thank goodness I can wear my glasses again.

I downloaded The Twelve Tribes of Hattie from the library a couple of nights ago and am enjoying that before I go to sleep. I got the title from Oprah and am always a little leery, if you know what I mean, but it's interesting and an easy read, chapters for each of Hattie's children, in first person, different. I've been waiting for my book club book...I'm on hold at the library for it, still fifth in the list I think. Looks like I may have to buy the Kindle version, The Light Between Oceans. We have our meeting the first Tuesday in March.

And thanks to ♥noVember tHiNg♥ I took a look at House of Cards on Netflix and shall be watching the fifth episode this evening...talk about a strong character. The first scene with the dog got me hooked. Thanks Hooves .

Downton Abby seemed a little ho-hum last night, a little dragged out, the plots are getting old. Didn't think I'd ever say that.

Needless to say I am not getting much writing done although I have started a 'for my eyes only' item in which I am writing down some memories of Jim.. And I did participate in the "Invalid Item" , that was really fun. I cannot figure out why I have such fun writing poetry yet I never like what I write. Oh well, it's the fun that counts anyway....

until next time...c
