It starts with a coffee, the first hardly touches the sides, it's the second that gives you that much needed caffeine hit. Then I'm ready to go.
My hobby is crafting, many different arts my favourite being card making. I have oesteoarthritis and I suffer alot of pain all of the time. Most of the time my pain is managed with a cocktail of medication. However the pills don't take away the pain, god no, they just take the edge off. When in alot of pain it's hard to concentrate on anything, and there's only so much tv anyone can watch. Then I discovered that by crafting I could almost put my pain in a different place. That is to not focus on it, but something else. I'd previously tried many things for this, reading, music, writing, but with no avail. So now I enjoy the time I give to this craft of mine, being able to somehow switch off for a while.
So that is what my afternoon will be spent doing, enjoying the sunshine at the same time, as it beams it's warming rays through the window, stretching out across the table at which I work.
