The Eve of New Year's Eve: Getting A Head Start On The New Year

Not as exciting for me as the Eve of Christmas Eve! But there's anticipation nonetheless because I'm already actively working on some of the things I hope to accomplish and be better with in 2010.

I just did my half an hour on the treadmill (which may or may not have been a good idea since we went for a long walk down at the fossil beds late this morning) and tomorrow I'll start off with 10 minutes on the stationery bike. (I'm going to alternate the treadmill & stationery bike so I'm on one every other day).

Depending on Mother Nature & the weather, we'll head up to 'home away from home' around 1pm tomorrow and return sometime on New Year's Day.

This afternoon, I've been going through & purging things in my online life (ie deleting myself from groups I'm no longer active in and so on).

Now it's time for a shower and getting ready to head out for darts night. (Hubby is on a team that plays at a little bard just up the street).

Hope y'all are having a great day!

Good for you--I'm glad to see you've got some goals for the New Year and you're planning to stick to them! I can never make resolutions because I'm always so bad at keeping them! :-/

And purging/organizing/etc. is always a good way to start the New Year!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
