Mar. 31st, 2026 10:08 amI have tweaked a muscle in my neck sometime in the last few days, possibly saturday. I think it was during pruning saturday since I stood up from pruning and was weirdly sore but I have no idea what would have done it. It's fine most of the time except when I turn my head in one direction but that's not the worst it hurts. Worst it hurts is when I'm doing stuff with my arm and turn my head or when I put my elbow on the desk and rest my head on my hand. I can sleep on that side without it hurting. But it's annoying. And makes my shoulder feel funny. I'm trying to baby it but I don't know what hurts it so ??? And honestly, pruning seems to stretch it out and it feels better? So who knows honestly.
The good news is that I'm nearly done pruning the blueberries, I've got 7 rows left and only one row of the irritating varieties that produce a lot of shoots. Something went wrong with the battery of the electric pruner, I think charging it in the unheated garage when it was below freezing. Now it only holds charge for an hour or two of pruning, so I alternate pruning with something else while it charges. The batteries are really expensive, so we're going to run the winterizing routine as soon as there's a good rainy couple of days or I finish the blueberries, whichever comes first and see if that helps.
I have been ravenously hungry since I got back from my trip and can't seem to eat enough. I need to make a grocery store run and do some food planning. I've hit the craving fruit point of the season so I've been digging into my chest freezer to bake desserts with fruit. I made a ton of progress on my knitted sweater and actually bound off the sleeves during crafting last night, the end is in sight!
My dad is making progress on the floor of their house, actual boards are being laid but it won't be finished before his surgery on friday. They will be down at my brother's thursday through monday I think, so I'll get some peace and quiet while they're away. That's okay that the floor won't get done. There is progress. I need to get his help moving the drywall piece before his surgery, the drywall is upstairs but there's no room to cut it there, so I need help getting it to the front porch. It should be easy to move after I get it cut since the piece will be much smaller.
Spring is abruptly here, it's been warm and sunny, the crocus have emerged, I uncovered the strawberries the other day and have been sweating as I prune. Ahh spring. Much to do!
