Silly Me!

Walking thru my kitchen this afternnon, my apron here slapped me in the face, so to speak. The colors I loved yesterday (see pic w/Outdoor Furnitures below), that are speaking to me, are some of the most vibrant colors of Provence, France and Tuscany, Italy. I acknowledged the huge, not so subtle hints the universe has been giving me about France since this past Autumn. I haven't forgotten. I'm working on it!

Yes, I think I'll be running back to Pier One in the morning, then picking up a chair for only $20 at Foodtown (then spray paint since it's not the color I want). I think the table is a good omen!

You are so ready to travel. I see it in your future. You are going to write a book and star in the movie, Jo's Under the Tuscan Sun!

Lol, Meg, thank you! If only I had as much faith & confidence in myself as everyone else does.

I'm definately buying that end table tomorrow am. And the chair. And spray paint. (I've got to get potting soil & grass seed at the hardware store anyway!)

I love all the pics, Jo! Also wanted to say that you mentioned the molly pitcher in your comment on my blog and that is where my husband and I had our wedding reception. Small world! (would have emailed but didn't see it on here)

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 ...
