WOYWW #457


Welcome, it's good to be back. Partaking in Julia's What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday over on her blog HERE.

Missed last week with lots of "Life" issues, got most of mother's things sorted out, clothes washed and sorted by season, household items etc are still scattered. But I've  been doing therapy each day for neck and shoulders.No doubt from all the loading and unloading that day.  Seems to be making no headway.  Cancelled Mon/Tues as we were having rain/ice/snow/wind storms.  So used "Tiger Balm"  found out about it in S. Korea when we visited . It worked well for an elbow that I hurt in a fall. I think it's helping. 

My desk:


making a card for my niece's husband who is retiring from the military next week. I found this fun deck of playing cards. About Military Men/Presidents, but decided to leave it in tack. My son might like this, possibly some of his office staff involved. Tommy was at Camp David when President Busch was in office.

Standing in line for desk use, are 3 Birthdays, in a few days, a bridal shower, and Easter supplies.

Hope you all have a wonderful week. Thanks to everyone for stopping by 2 weeks ago and your supportive comments.  Mom seems to be doing well in her therapy, but speech is still a problem.

Hi Sylvia, hope you manage to finish getting everything sorted out soon and that your shoulder recovers. That's an interesting pack of cards; I would have left it intact too as they can't be that easy to come by. Great looking cards. Sarah #10

I really hope your aches and pains ease very soon my friend. All the snow and cold weather over here is making my aches worse so you have my full sympathy.
Big hugs,

I always look forward to Wednesday and my little visit to your world! Your desk is always a bee hive of activity and I never know what you are going to do nest. I too am struggling with neck and shoulder...not sure what made mine flare but it is a beast to deal with! Have a good rest of the week!

Oh Sylvia, you have had to work hard. No wonder your shoulders and neck are sore, I bet every job has just increased the tension in your muscles. I'm a huge fan of Tiger Balm, use it a lot. Am sure the therapy will help, but you have to give it time,and dare I say, try not to overdo it in between. Some sunshine and gentle weather would help wouldn't it! I know its this month, but sort of hadn't got my head into how soon Easter actually is - still stressing about birthdays this month!

The playing cards are a great idea - I'm sure they'll go down well! I feel for you having to do all that sorting out of your mum's stuff, it isn't easy, that's for sure. I'm glad to hear she's responding to treatment though. Sending hugs to you,

Hi Sylvia, I'm not surprised your shoulders and neck are sore - shifting boxes around is heavy work. A former colleague used Tiger Balm to relieve aches and pains. He was a gardener and swore by it but it does pong a bit. Interesting playing cards, they should make for entertaining games. The cards you've made are all lovely. Hope you have a good week - take it easy and rest up a bit. Elizabeth x #27

Hi Sylvia, I have some Tiger Balm and it's very good, think I got it from one of the health stores at some time. I've been having a bit of a problem with my neck and one shoulder but have no idea how it happened and just hoping it will clear up soon so know how you must be feeling. Have a good woyww and a lovely creative week, Angela xXx
