Update re my cousin
My cousin is doing much better. She had her court date on Thursday, which also happened to be my birthday, and the case was dismissed. She didn't have to pay court costs either! I think she's feeling a lot better about herself, and her health is better as well. Her last visit to the hospital, when she was hospitalized for blood loss, really ( Read more... ) -
This and that ... a hodge podge!
I've been getting home visits from a nurse, treating the diabetic ulcers on my legs. It is just taking so long for them to heal - first one leg will heal up, then the other, then both will open up again. It is frustrating! The nurse comes three times a week, has been since the week after the 4th of July. The left leg is healing up, but not so much ( Read more... ) -
My Grandmammy
My maternal grandmother, who is pictured with me in my current profile picture, was probably the person I was the closest to as a child - yes, even closer than to my parents. I was the first grandchild, and my mother's parents cared for me a good deal during the first three years of my life. My parent were young and just starting out; the first ( Read more... ) -
Back to LJ?
I'm going to try to keep up with a blog again. It will hopefully help me to keep my mind working. I've got several things going on right now, one of them is being treated for sores on my legs (in the shin area) that just won't heal up. Wound care comes to me, three times a week; hopefully we can get them cleared up. I'm still having a good bit of ( Read more... ) -

It has been forever since I made a post, and frankly I'm only posting this one today because it's still fresh in my mind. And in all honesty, it's fading fast ( Read more... ) -
Tasty summer-time treat
I have started making iced coffee from the coffee leftover in the morning. I add a bit of cocoa to the coffee ground when I brew it, so it has a mocha taste to it. Then I just pour it in a cup, add cream and my splenda, and set it in the freezer for a while ( Read more... ) -
Mother's Day 2012
This is the 9th Mother's Day without my Mom - I miss her so much. I sometimes even still want to call her and talk to her. Of course she lives on in my memory, as well as in the memories of my brothers and my children. And I think her soul lives on in the ethers, and watches out for us. So I would just like to say a Happy Mother's Day to her; I ( Read more... ) -

Anyone ever used "Sensa" for weight loss?
I was awakened by an infomercial for a weight loss product called Sensa the other night/morning, about 4 AM. It's something like a condiment tnat you sprinkle on food before eating; it supposedly makes you feel full or fuller that you really are (it possibly tricks your brain into thinking that you're full/fuller? something along those lines...). I ( Read more... ) -
First "grown-up" movies
There are a few movies I can remember seeing as a child that were not kid movies and I really enjoyed watching them. I remember my Dad takingg me to see Gone with the Wind when I was 8 or so although I don't recall much about the movie - that was a pretty long film for an 8 year old ( Read more... )
