I'm slowly recovering from some sort of fibro flare, no doubt brought on by recent events.
Stopping the news has helped a lot, but I can't stop what happens so close to home. Meditation has shown me things I've never seen before. It could be the age I'm at but I think it's the company I'm keeping. =o) Thank you for your kindness, and all the good thoughts, prayers and good wishes.
Off to take some pictures of some very ordinary socks and a growing market bag that also helped me keep my sanity. My sister is supposed to come tomorrow. I hope she is feeling well enough to come here for the day. There is a problem going to her house that I can't really get into here. I will post pictures of the trekkers and the bag this afternoon.
On Tuesday the ceramics club had it's annual luncheon, and I went with them. I've not been attending many of the weekly workshops - I'm trying to eliminate my ceramic business and don't need the exposure to new ideas. We went to Home Town Buffet and I ate two desserts and a little bit of other stuff. I was needing the serotonin.
Ah, Gardens. Spring has made the birds crazy for the bits and pieces of the spinnings. They don't last long at all out there on the twigs. DH has been pulling all the weeds that the gold finch were eating, as that little flock had moved on. While they were here, it was very sweet to hear the tiny male singing in the cape honeysuckle to proclaim ownership.
We are starting to hear the birds now too. Sometimes I love it and others (like in the morning when I am TRYING to sleep I don't love it so much)
ReplyDeleteFibro Flares - ugh - too familiar with them -- give me a couple of weeks and you will hear me muttering about one. We are going away for 5 days and I always always always pay for a vacation with a major flare.
feel better -- soft hugs.
Trish I am really sad that you got such a terrible wind through your county. Those beautiful tomatoes and the poor little birds! I hope you've got the roof fixed up but I'm sure it's the first thing that you did.
ReplyDeleteRho, we used to have a mocking bird that sang all night long in our big elms. They are gone now so the bird is, too. I miss him because once I got over being angry I thought he was cute and interesting. Now the scrub jays that sit on the roof hacking away at peanut shells and poking holes... grrrr! I could do without them!
Rho and Brvfan, fibro has really changed the way I do things. I'm sorry to hear that you both have this much FUN, too. Sheesh. Knitting small things has helped me feel productive and keep colors in my life. I'm WAY slow now. Yes, Rho, vacations, even in the comfort of our RV, bring on the things. I just wait it all out now, taking the meds, propped up on pillows, knitting, dozing, or reading in my windowed sleeping area - big windows on three sides. DH is used to taking his hikes by himself mostly now. We do walk around some flat trails. It took a long time to convince people that, Yes, this damned thing was REAL! I'll post a picture of me and my knee from last year. Mostly I want you to see the fabulous view I had while knitting.
