Wednesday's Wonderings

I woke up about 0230 and woke up about every half hour until about 0500 hen I finally went back to sleep and did not get up until about 0800. I went downstairs and made some cinnamon raisin nut toast with peanut butter and banana.

I had taken the craft gloves that Kathleen got for me last night off and was amazed at how much better my hands felt. I left them off most of the day and put them on for a while this afternoon after I had been outside working.

After eating, I washed the pan that Kathleen cooked the bacon in last night. I had soaked it with hot water and Dawn so the grease came off easily. Reggie liked the bacon grease and dry dog food that I gave him last night.

After straightening up the kitchen, I went into the living room to read the paper. Before I finished the paper, the mail came, there was really nothing there, I think Kathleen got a couple things and I got a catalog, but the rest was junk mail. After recycling the paper and mail, I took the full bag out to the garage, and while I was out there, I thought that I would do a little work, so I cut some more of the Italian prune tree down and pulled some weeds in the garden.

I was getting hungry so I went inside and made myself a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. After eating that I went back outside, dug up a couple blackberry bushes, picked up some of the fallen branches from the back yard, and then dumped the barrel into the main barrel that I use for yard debris pickup.

While I was dumping the branches, I noticed that Andrea’s Jeep was in her old parking spot, so I went inside and cleaned up. She brought over some chocolate covered marshmallows that she made, so I had a couple. Kathleen and I were going to go to her house and help her clean up today, but she had a couple things to do so we decide to do it tomorrow instead.

Andrea left about 1600 and shortly after that, Kathleen left to pick up her prescription that she did not get yesterday. She asked me to put some water on the stove and cook some ravioli for dinner tonight. I filled the frying pan with water, but got busy doing something for church and I never got the ravioli into the pan.

Kathleen came home about 1740 and added the ravioli and we had ravioli and Alfredo sauce for dinner tonight. Well, Kathleen has gone upstairs, probably for the night, so I think that I will just say my good night now.

Hi Sue,

I get them at Michaels or Joanns or fabric stores. They are made out of Lycra and need to fit snuggly to do much goood.

Look at Joann's. The ones I got Bob were the ones labeled Craft Gloves. They come singly so you need to get two.

I got these at Michael's and used the 40% off coupon from both Michael's and Joann's so that helped. The normal price is about $10 each but it is worth it.

I have found some others on line that probably would be better for Bob since his finger joints also cause him problems, not just the hand joints. OccuMitts

The “Craft Gloves” are longer and may give more support to the wrist.
