Still here but hurting

I just wanted to let you know that I am still here eventhough my blog has been silent for a while. I've had bad joint pains on my fingers and wrists for weeks so I haven't been able to do any stitching or anything else. I've seen a doctor twice this week and now I am on one week sick leave. I hope that it helps and my hands stop hurting. But I might have to quit my new job since it's the reason for this and the doctor said it's only going to get worse. I have one small stitching that I need to finish this week so I try to sew a bit every now and then and try not to put too much strain on my hands.

As I try to rest and get my hands in better shape I also wish the spring will come back. For a couple of days we've had sleet. I have already bought some new things for our backyard and I can't wait to see the flowers starting to grow. :)
