2 out of 3 fingers on my right hand are doing much better. They are almost usable for knitting again. I was able to go through some of my fiber stash and do a bit of stash busting. I have a full laundry basket to go. I managed to card 3 mohair batts. I also reorganized part of my fiber stash closet. It no longer resembles Fibber McGee and Molly’s closet. Nothing will fall down when the doors are opened. I can even do some easy kitchen stuff. Just don’t ask me to chop an onion or do dishes by hand yet.
What I had a hard time with was drying my hair. Halfway through I needed to use both hands to hold the dryer wand, the kind with the hair brush built in. My hair survived. With the laundry sorting the wet clothes was easy as was doing the hand wash. What I found hard was putting the wet clothes on hangers.
I still did a lot of resting today. This flare up has been less than lady like. This morning it was 10 minutes of work and 30 minutes of rest. By this afternoon it was an hour of work followed by a 2 hour nap and I am still exhausted. I think the stress from the roof leaks, yes that’s multiple leaks and the dampness of the Monsoon was just too much stress on my body.
I am not ready for knitting yet, however; if my hand feels better tomorrow I might try some weaving or plying some yarn. I have a box of mini skeins and 4 bobbins that need to be emptied and plyed. The picture below is the latest update to the fiber closet. I know it will still look very messy to most, but some of you will notice a huge change. There are only 2 bags of fiber left on the top shelf.
