I stayed home from student teaching Friday with a migraine and two useless arms. The pinched nerve in my neck that affects my left arm is something I have lived with off and on for 4 years. I injured it a long time ago horseback riding and ticcing has not helped it at all. My chiropractor managed to fix it and as long as I don't have too many sustained tic attacks in my neck, I don't typically re-injure it. On my last break from school I had to go to the dentist (something I hate) and I ended up pinching the nerve pretty severely. It's a lot better now, but it's still not perfect. This week I called in sick to work Thursday after student teaching all day because my migraine was getting progressively worse and then ended up pinching a nerve in my neck on the right side that night. A day of rest and ice and ibuprofen seems to have helped, though it isn't 100% yet.
And today it's snowing. A lot. I hate the snow and avoid going out in at at all costs. So Toby and I have been shut in the apartment since Friday morning (with the exception of having to take a teacher competency exam this morning). I've been crafting and Toby has been stealing yarn and pretzels and watching the snow.
Here's a preview of two of the yarn necklaces I made this weekend that will be for sale in my Etsy store; they are made out of hand-dyed, hand-spun yarn. I did the spinning, not the dying though. That's a skill I don't possess yet. I'm planning to make a few more in various colors.
