It's Raining .. it's pouring...

Kathies sister

This is a picture of my friend Kathie's sister..  she's wearing slippers kathie sent her for her birthday ...  Kathie asked me to post this picture in a forum where we both post.. she tried and just couldn't do it.  I know if she had more time to study up on how to do it she could.. but she's so busy taking care of her hubby who just lost his second leg to diabetes complications..  I'm posting the picture here because in order to get it to our forum it has to be posted somewhere on the internet..  ha.. hope it works now that I've bragged...

Two years ago.. oh my

Yes it's been two years since I've written in this blog..  has it?  I should go back and check.. that certainly doesn't sound right.. but I bet it is.  Oh well, if it's already done, what can change it? Nothing.  The only thing I can do is not let that happen again.  but I'm not going to promise cause it's very likely I will forget and it will be days, maybe weeks or months before I post again.

Anyway, after reading the last post I realized something.. what you ask?  Well, not a dang thing has changed.  Except it's all moreso.  More pain, more meds, more sleeping in the day time, more staying home, more wishing I could fix this and more realizing I can never fix it.

MORE.  Sometimes more isn't a good thing.

A hipochondriac? Moi?

I don't even know how to spell it so how could I be one.  Nah I'm not. I just have a lot of pain all the time and it moves from here to there. 

Went to the doctor.. needed a note to get out of jury duty... not going to go there anymore. Jury duty is hard.  Last time I went I had to stand three hours...  that's too hard for me now.  No way could I do it, besides I don't want to do it.

Doctor had a thought.. he said go vegetarian. ..  silly boy.  been there, done that.. and what happened?  I tested low protein on my blood work.  Besides I am not a big meat eater, don't really care for it anymore.  I like the kind that isn't good for you.. like bacon, sausage and hotdogs. Ha. The bad stuff.

Need to go to bed.  Slept too much today.. was so very tired.  I think pain is whats causeing me to be so tired.

That's all for this time.. j

Ten months almost?

Whew, I can't believe it's been this long since I wrote anything here.  Maybe I can update this to the present...  had a great holiday season. Saw family more than I usually do and I so loved that. Really, I didn't write anything about that here?  I'm really falling down on everything. ... but lets start from right now...

Still can barely walk.  Tummy has been acting up something terrible.. burning and hurting. Pains when I eat. 

Pain in my neck.. a swollen gland I think.. probably nothing to worry about but I am the type that worries over every little pain.

I've been trying to do more crafts.. keeping busy that way could help me not to think so much.  House isn't selling, I feel as if I will never move closer to family.  Hard to resign myself to that fact when all I really want is to see them more often.  I know time is getting shorter and the way I feel is reminding me daily. 

I'll try to write more often.  J

I knew this would happen

I knew I'd be going right along, posting almost daily, keeping up with things and then BAM!!! I'd do as usual and fall down on the job. It seems I get side tracked a lot.  I start to do one thing and then see something else that needs a comment or a note, or correcting and I never get the first thing finished.

Getting harder to walk. Damn shots in the spine really messed me up.  Had some major side effects from them and even with all that they didn't work one single bit.  I actually think I'm worse for having had them.  I can barely walk the stores.. can't even walk the bigger stores. Phooey and damn it anyway.  I really love to go shopping and now just can't do it like I want to. Wish I lived where I didn't have any steps to get up and down the house.  I have that scooter than I rarely use, because it's too hard for me to get it in and out of the shed.  Should be an easier way.

What have I been doing.. ?   Well working on a remembrance book of sorts for the family reunion.  I am asking all members to write something about the loved ones who have passed on.  I will make it into a book with pictures etc.  I think it's gonna be great.

Bought some silk flowers today.  Have been buying a few each time I get to the store, then when it's time to do the next arrangements I will not have to go buy so many at one time. I think that's smart.

Now it's my bedtime.. have the head of my bed up on blocks now to keep the acid from coming up. It's helping but I hate to not be able to lie down flat.  I love going to bed though.. I read in my kindle till about 1 a.m.   Sometimes I feel guilty for reading that long and think I should be asleep. But then I think why?

Doggieboy is fine

He's eating and drinking like normal..  today I threw his toys and he went and chased after them. He loves that.  He also loves his medicine and starts licking his lips when he sees us with the dropper.  He just laps it right up.. easy.

I worked on arrangements today, made faux pea soup and cooked chicken patties and cabbage. Thats the sum total of my day. J
