One Day at a Time — Day 7 — A Finish!

O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.   Psalm 130:7


I finished my first book for my Goodreads 2023 Challenge.  Since I usually read cozy mysteries, I decided to begin with a different genre — young adult.  Now, I have read some YA stuff before and found all the dystopian themes to be a bit depressing but I ran across a little romance.




It started out slow and in my mind I thought this is going to be a very boring romance but it picked up nicely and flowed well.  It appealed to my sensibility because it involved dancing and I danced when I was a young girl.  It also contained several scenarios that we can probably all identify with, painfully, such as crushing on the wrong boy.  I know I can relate to that!  

It was romantic, it was relatable, it was clean, it was a good read and I recommend.  I believe it is part of a series so I may try another.  We will see but this one didn’t disappoint and I am glad I started my challenge with it.

Yesterday I received my package from Hoop and Frame containing the twill tape I need to wrap my hoop.  I will be wrapping this morning.  I am anxious to re-start the piece I was working on before the Stranger Things piece— the governors mansion in Colonial Williamsburg.  I started again the other night, trying to stitch in hand, but it wasn’t working so I put it back on my q-snap and that wasn’t working either — too bulky and awkward.  So, I am hoping the new hoop is just what I need.  I will post a photo when I am done.

I am supposed to start taking glucosamine but I don’t want to take it.  I bought the vegan variety because of a shellfish allergy but it seems that there are issues with glucosamine altogether.  It can cause glaucoma.  It can make the joint issues worse! And I don’t need “worse”.  So I am going to look at turmeric.  And walk.

I received my new Fitbit yesterday so I will be counting steps.  Maybe that will help.


That is the wrist I broke so it doesn’t really look normal anymore but anyway, that is the new Fitbit.  

So, that is what today holds.  I need to finish some laundry I started, put on a pot of soup and wrap the hoop!

Have a wonderful Saturday, all!

Yes, I have also read about the effects of Glucosamine on eye pressure. I hope the turmeric works for you.

I used to take glucosamine so I don’t know why I am so cautious but I have read in more than one place that people over sixty shouldn’t take it — I am still thinking about it.

What’s Up for the New Week —

 It is Saturday and it appears we are emerging from the arctic freeze we have been experiencing.  I am sure I have mentioned here that I am ...
