Keeping out the Cold

Published by mikia328 under Blogging, Pain Edit This

I finally finished making the scarf I started.  The great finale happened at lunch time and wasn’t I the happiest person for about 10 minutes!  It will be worn this evening to help me battle the frigid cold that has descended upon the area in recent days.  Although I have been taking the Osteo Bi-Flex tablets every day, I have been experiencing pain in both my knees, but that is only due to the arthritis.  During the day, I sit right beside a large window that gives me a view of one of the Metro stations and part of the sky.  I was freezing today and the heat is not exactly doing its job.  Right now, the sky is looking quite creepy and some flat, well organized clouds have moved in.  Could that be snow?  I hope. 

Now, as far as my knees go, they are almost normal.  The operative word here is “almost”.  If it was not for the cold temperatures, they would not hurt at all.  The only thing I can do is keep moving throughout the day and make sure I keep them warm.  It might also help if my desk was not so close to the window.  As soon as I get home, I am going to put on my sweatpants and set the heat at 90 degrees for at least 30 minutes, then lower it.  This is coming from someone who does not like a lot of heat, but I must make an exception today.  I’m cold!
