As usual, it is Monday, I hurt like hell, and I am evaluating life. The topic at hand is the severity of incapacity I deal with. I walk a weird line. I can do anything I want. I don't suffer until afterwards. It could be toward the end of the activity, or the next day. I have to weigh the odds before I do anything, or go anywhere. To my friends, it ( Read more... )

Something happened in Etsy this month. I don't know why or how, but my store has taken off. I have been averaging one thing a month for most of a year. This month I have sold a bunch of things. To elaborate, "things" this month has been three drop spindles, two lucets, a rosary and another spindle today. In just October. On the one hand, I'm ( Read more... )

I have been having the darnedest time getting onto LJ now that my mind is finally flowing. Watching my grandson grow has been such a blessing. Truth is (as has been pointed out) that we were/are overwhelmed with raising the boy. And it has been good for us. We have had to reach out and ask for help. Okay, *I* have. Me. Vicki. That was a tough ( Read more... )

I took a shower tonight! Yup - celebration time. And I worked in the garden this evening. And deep cleaned in Mayse's room. And and and ! Whew! I took a painkiller and went to bed early cuz I know the backache is waiting for me. Only now I feel so good I want to go do something. make a quilt, or clean the kitchen. Maybe rearrange another room. But ( Read more... )

Most people have someone in their lives who is kind beyond belief, who gives and gives and gives, and is simply one of the people who should represent humanity when the aliens land. I have more someones like that than I count. I don't know what I did to deserve these friends, but I'm not going to question it. One such friend spent the afternoon ( Read more... )

Never again will I tempt Fate by bragging about Maedb Monday missing its target. I've been slammed hard by some virus or other. It obviously had a bullet with my name on it. Among several other pretty unpleasant symptoms, I've been fever dreaming pretty much nonstop since Wednesday. Been cycling through three dreams with variations ( Read more... )

I do believe that Mondays have changed to Fridays. And/or Sundays. I get worn out a lot faster these days, so by Friday, I'm toast. If I can recharge over the weekend, I'm good to go for Monday. It's kind of nice to be alive on Mondays. I know Mayboy appreciates it! LOL ( Read more... )

I've been babysitting a lot more than I was at the beginning. It's starting to show a bit, I think. My back hurts more often, and needs a heavy pain reliever more often. And I find I'm leaving him in the pack-and-play more. He's a wonderful kid that entertains himself really well, but I hate relying on it. Oh! And every day that the sun is out, we ( Read more... )

Again, for what? the 9th year? we helped tear down the quilts at this world class show. It really is a great show, with dazzling artwork. I am of the opinion that about half the quilts we saw should not have been in the quilt show at all, but in the Getty Museum, or some other high falutin' art museum. They are that amazing. Even the ones I don't ( Read more... )

My lack of posting the past few months is horrendous. I am simply sick to death of complaining, and of seeing myself complain. Sadly, that is my life at the moment. I think what hurts the most is I have lost my sense of humor about life. I used to be able to laugh about anything and everything, including this miserable state of health I have. Now, ( Read more... )
