Healing from a Foot Injury

I'm happy to report that my foot is almost healthy again. A couple of months ago my hairdresser (of 12 years now) told me about a new Bible she was reading called She Reads Truth, a Christian Standard Bible study, that she is really enjoying, because it helps her understand the Bible more easily. I bought a copy (hard cover) for myself, because it never hurts to have another version of the Bible to study and compare. Right? Anyway, because my bookshelf is full, I have had to resort to putting some of my newer books on top of other books. So, this one goes on top of the other 4 Bibles I have on that particular shelf. 

After a morning of studying just over a month ago, I set that Bible on the bottom of the stack of 3 other Bibles I was studying from that same morning. As I picked up the other 3, I accidentally knocked the new CSB version off the China hutch and it fell right onto my foot. The 2 edges (where the book opens) didn't open (what are the chances?), so both edges landed right on the top of my foot, the same foot I had also injured in 2020 - I pulled several ligaments when my foot got caught between the lawn mower and the trash can. The injuries were caused for different reasons, but the outcome looked almost identical. 

I did rest it for a couple of hours on day 2 or 3 after the injury occurred. I mostly stayed home and walked around in my sock feet the first couple of weeks, because wearing my walking shoes hurt. I would put an ice pack on the injury at night after my work was done for the day, before bedtime. I also skipped a week of full housework. I just vacuumed, did laundry, made the meals, washed the dishes, and cleaned the bathrooms that week. 

While I was looking for Christmas wrapping paper in our walk-in closet, though, I found a pair of shoes I got during the summer that are very loose, no shoe strings to tie, just slip on and go. So, I wore those the next couple of weeks when I had to be out and about to do my grocery shopping and finish our Christmas shopping.

Now, after as much pampering as I could allow time for, the swelling is almost gone, and the bruising has almost faded. For your entertainment, I have provided pictures of my foot showing the injury getting worse then through its progress of healing. 

With that said, I would like to say that, I too, recommend reading this Bible, She Reads Truth. Just don't drop it on your foot. 😜

Take care and God bless,

Patricia

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI These are simple tips I want to share with those of you who are like me and do not have fancy programs to help when needing to convert pixels to inches, find out how many pixels an image has, and increase DPIs for better print quality. My tips are based on a Windows 11 OS and may not work on other systems. However, you may be able to do an internet search to explore your OS options based on the information I have provided below. I do not receive any compensation from these two sites listed. I use them because they are easy, free, and safe to use. These tips are helpful if you need to quickly figure how many pixels you need for a certain number of inches so you can print the right size every time without guessing and wasting printer ink until you do get it right. Also, sometimes, a print needs to be flipped (mirrored, reversed) for transfers. And last but not least, if you’re selling printable items, a higher DPI is needed for ...
