The ornament my son made in Kindergarten. I am thinking the teacher had all the separate elements pre-cut. All he needed to do was paste them in the appropriate spots. Cutting felt at 5 years of age- not easy. I also know the teacher had my son reading to his classmates in the reading corner. I reported her to the Principal. We did not speak after that. Yes, he could read at five. Self taught at four. Hated reading to the other children. Saw it as punishment. His classmates loved having him read to them. Who was right?
This has nothing to do with my word for today- Inspire. I actually don't think I inspire anyone. Perhaps I should try harder???I
It has been snowing for awhile now. About 12 to 16 inches I think. The plow came by once. I volunteered to dress up and walk down to the newspaper box to see if we got a paper. We did. Our newspaper gal never lets us down. I was covered in snow by the time I walked there and back. Daughter told the Candy Factory that she wasn't going to even try to drive to work. Excellent decision.
I am making Dee's Pantry Soup today. Haven't had since early days of the Pandemic. But sounds good. And I have everything to make it. Beans, cabbage and potatoes.
Yesterday husband had a doctor's appointment regarding the "horrible pain" in his back which came from "nowhere". I had a list of the "Where" the pain came from. Doctor and his intern checked his back and hip and found the right hip joint did not open or close when he lifted his leg or bent over. So, it was kind of stuck or in spasm. Doctor suggested a ball of socks or tennis ball- something to push against that joint to get it to open- would be painful but once open would feel wonderful.
Daughter had given me this "roller stick" to use to relax muscles. Massage for pain tolerant people. I asked husband if I could try it on his back when we got home. I knew I only had the one chance. So I rolled it vigorously over the back and the hip joint. And he yelped. And then when I stopped he said- it felt better. Do it again. And there you have it. Another few roller treatments and things will be back to normal.
This wonderful doctor is a General Practitioner not a Specialist. But he has a really creative way of working/listening to his patients and trying to find out what is happening. Now that Inspires me. And since he has had several students observing in his office over the years- the feedback from these Tufts Medical Students must be very positive also. Yesterday was a good day.
