The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer book blog, and is a post to recap my bookish and non-bookish things from the last week. I'm also linking up to The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance @Readerbuzz.
Busy week with recuperating from a long travel day with delays on Sunday (didn't get home from the airport until 12am). We've had some rain this last week, but today we had some gorgeous weather! High of 68 degrees and partially sunny! The rest of the week is supposed to be just a little cooler with some rain tomorrow.
Drove to Sacramento (about an hour each way) for a doctors appointment because nerves in my right hand and forearm have been giving me problems (numbness & pain) for sometime. Carpel tunnel and stretched, irritated nerves. I was told to sleep in a different position. Or I could have surgery that may or may not be helpful. No thanks.
We have some blubs and shrubs starting to bloom. I think earlier than last year.
Narcissus planted last fall
Crocus & cyclamen in our yard
Daffodils at the fire station on my trail
Flowering Quince on my trail
We're still working our way through Downton Abbey episodes. We're at the end of season four.
I continue to do puzzles while listening to audiobooks while trying to stay off news sites!

How was your week?
We’re far from having spring flowers. Hope the weather keeps improving
ReplyDeleteWe've had a mild winter so this is early for us, too.
DeleteLove the puzzles! Jealous of the flowers - we've still got feet of snow here, and I think a little more forecasted for this week. Hope your hand/arm feels better sleeping differently - I'd avoid surgery too if possible!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The puzzles are so much fun for me. We had snow on the ground this date last year. We've had an unusually mild winter this year so the flowers are early for us. Hope you get a warm up soon. One more month of winter! I might end up wearing a brace for my wrist/hand, but I don't want surgery.
DeleteCarpel tunnel is so frustrating. They told me to wear wrist braces at night or get the surgery that might not work. The braces help when I actually wear them. I usually forget.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to ask about the braces. They did say something about that.
DeleteThe flowers look pretty., so do the puzzles.
ReplyDeleteA brace might help your wrist/arm, I find wearing an elastic one on occasion helps me .
Wishing you a happy reading week
Thank you. It's a joy to see things blooming again! I will check into the brace!
DeleteI love seeing the signs of spring up there. Very encouraging. I am with you. Those surgeries never work. I hope you find some relief.
ReplyDeleteI think I might ask about a brace. Everyone seems to recommend it. Hope you get some warmer weather, too, Sam!
DeleteFirst Time Caller sounds really fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, those flowers! I've never tried bulbs. I wonder if bulbs grow well here in the south. I should see what I can find out.
I wonder. I think you do have bouts of really cold weather there so I think they might work.
DeleteBeautiful flowers! I've got to work on getting out to more reviews as even with 3 days off school due to weather I didn't get as much done on blog visiting as I wanted to. Hope you get it all figured out for your wrist! I had a brace type thing I wore at night for a while with my wrist when I was having issues a few years back. Have a good week!

It's amazing how time can get away! I'm going to look into a brace to help!
DeleteI love seeing all the spring flowers. We may get more if it stays warmed up to normal now. For us, winter is mostly over by now usually and March is definitely springtime. Glad you are looking at options other than surgery. We've had good luck with physical therapy but I'm not sure for your type of issue. You read some great books this week!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
It's been crazy weather this year. I never discount a late snow here. We had one last year that ruined my spring blossoms on my wisteria. I may try a brace. I did! Not as many as I hoped, though!
DeleteOh you were in the same city as my daughter then Rachel! I always love seeing the first flowers!
ReplyDeleteYes! Does she go to school at UC Davis? That's where all my big med appointments are.
DeleteWow I can't believe all those flowers are blooming there now. It seems pretty early! But I guess March is around the corner. I hope you're able to get rid of the carpal tunnel ugh. That's tough. Your puzzle & audio regimen is perfect to escape the current news. I need to start another one to de-stress, lol. Have a great week. & the kitties too.
ReplyDeleteIt is early this year. Last year we had snow on the ground. Yes, the carpel tunnel isn't fun. Plus, my hand and arm go to sleep if in the same position too long. Thank you, Susan! You too!
DeleteThe flowers are so pretty. I probably wouldn't have had the surgery either.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm going to try a brace.
DeleteLove all those flowers!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thanks! You too!
DeleteWow, spring flowers already is wonderful. We are a long way from that at home. Glad you made it home safely, even if it was later than anticipated. I hope you have a great week, Rachel.
ReplyDeleteIt's early this year. We've had a really mild winter. Last year we had snow on the ground! Thank you! I hope you do, too, Carla!
DeleteI opted out of that surgery, too. Lovely spring blooms and I love those puzzle scenes.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Rachel!
Yeah, I'm not someone who'd get surgery easily and I work in healthcare! I think it's better to leave things alone and work through other ways like PT. You too, Sophia!
DeleteI am counting the days until Spring. Would you believe it was 68 today after the deep freeze we had last week. The snow is almost completely gone.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers. I enjoyed Downton Abbey a lot. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been warm, but sure no blooming yet
