Minor Concussion!

That's what the doctor said yesterday. I took a bad fall on snow-covered ice in our apartment's parking lot Monday morning during a snowstorm and my head hit the pavement. I was sure I cracked my skull but apparently didn't. How scary it is to fall! It happened so quickly, my foot went out from under me and before I knew it I was on the ground. I seemed OK until later in the afternoon when my neck began killing me - got a good whiplash from the fall. The next day was worse. Seems there is some swelling going on which makes the back of my head feel tingly. Ibuprofen and rest is about all that can be done, but I have had a little mental confusion, which should go away soon. Now I'm scared to death of that parking lot! I ended up staying home from work (I work full-time too) on Tuesday, and the only good thing was that I was able to stay in bed under my cozy LL Bean flannel sheets and watch "The X-Files" all day on the Sci-Fi channel! That was one of my favorite shows when it used to be on prime time. Scully and Mulder trump HGTV any day! It's like the original "Star Trek" series - I can watch those episodes over and over.

So, that's how I began my week! I'm still exhausted and have been having weird dreams - last night it was being somewhere with a bunch of people and running from a lava flow from a volcano that had erupted! I wish I knew where the heck that came from!

On another subject, I'm expecting three new patterns from Stacy Nash and a new booklet from Notforgotten Farm very soon. All that new web site work needs to be done too, but I just can't do it all right now. Maybe this weekend I'll try to catch up there and I think I must - I may not have a working web site soon as I could be shut off with my current web host at any time now. When it rains it pours!

Stay safe yourselves, and tread gingerly on ice! We had a lot of thawing and re-freezing and I think I stepped on a spot where I thought it had melted. I hope I don't make that mistake again!

'Til next time,
