Morning

Still not feeling 'up to par' but making the effort to get outside regardless. Yesterday (as you know from my photo's in the prev. post) I sat on the front porch for breakfast. (Wasnt un-interrupted though, but Mondays here at the apartment complex are usually hectic). It's warmer this morning & not much of a breeze out front so I decided to switch to the back yard where it's shady and pleasantly breezy.

The wind chimes are tinkling and a mourning dove is cooing. Even with the street & highway traffic noise, I could fall asleep out here! I'm sure Ceasar wouldn't mind at all. He loves being out here, keeping me company, exploring & mole hunting and chasing bugs. He hates being brought back inside and isn't shy about vocalizing his discontent!

I'm just so tired lately and headachey. My hands & arms hurt so much they kept waking me up last night. I was hoping my 2 plus weeks of feeling crappy were weather related but now with our weather having been sunny for 4 days in a row now I'm not so sure. Maybe I'm fighting off a sinus infection. (The idea that I may be becoming immune to my iv med has crossed my mind since I'm feeling much like I was before I started the iv's but I keep pushing that thought out of my mind as quickly as it comes in. Yes, it's a possibility but one I refuse to concede to just yet).

Yesterday I got that giddy, excited hyper feeling - ya know the one you get when you feel like you're on the verge of something? Well, I also get that when I'm getting sick so it's a toss-up as to the reason for it! (lol)

Well, I'm going to get back to reading the new issue of Where Women Create (magazine - http://wherewomencreate.com ) and then see what I'm up to doing. We're making a trip to Walmart this evening and bringing Mom. (Should be interesting!) We need to pick up some necessities for our first weekend up at the lake for July 4th weekend.

Hey Jo - I hope you will be feeling better soon. Too bad you are allergic to that Enbrel stuff - it helps my son a lot with the psoriasis. Of course the trade-off is that it also suppresses the immune system. I love the picture of the table with the chair and coffee cup. Sitting out on my back porch is the one thing I miss here in New York City
teri, other than giving me migraines, Enbrel didn't do anything for me. Remicade has. This ended up being a sinus infection, which for the time being, I think I'm over, lol!

Thanks Mandy!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
