New Normal

We successfully moved Hubby's mother into our home. She has been here for a week and we are starting to develop a routine. She requires 24 hour care and I am pleased to say I can provide it for her. Hubs provides the physio that was lacking in the hospital. After having been knocked back to the mentality of a three year old as a result of her stroke, she is just now re-learning how to move her paralyzed foot. The stroke had taken away her entire right side. We have a long way to go but, progress is progress and we are pleased to see it. Currently, I am still working weekends at the nursing home. I really enjoy it and am hoping to continue even if onlh in a limited capacity. School is going well. I really detest group work. I did not enjoy it in high school and that feeling has not gone away. My brain seems to have accepted I require it to operate a little more abstractly. In all this new, I managed to complete a little painting for the Twitter Art Exhibit. I like this tradition. It gives me joy to create something that someone might enjoy.

It is titled Cold Winter Night in Southern Quebec. I was inspired by the scenery on my drive home one night from work. There was a bit of a glow and everything had a blue tint. It was -20 Celcius but, felt peaceful. I also try to knit whenever I am able. These are called Swirl E. Socks by Prairie Girl Designs. It is a fun knit.

The yarn is City Streets Color by Regia. The colour change adds some interest to the sock. I am going to knit for a little while longer then call it a night. I hope you are all keeping well. Please take care of each other.
