Random Thoughts.

Good Morning,
I am finally able to sit upright for more than five minutes,
still very slow going with my back,
but what is a gal to do.
so if anyone were chasing me around my house,
well let us just say I would be caught in no time.
Two days ago we had frost,
What a shocker to go outside and all my virginia creepers were frozen,
they had not even started changing colors,
so instead of going from their greens to  vibrant reds and yellows,
they are all hanging and black.
so as soon as I am feeling a little more spry,
well outside to clean my flowerbeds and get things ready for winter.
I have had company for the last eight days,
and it is looking like my friend may be here for awhile longer,
I am trying to get not played out,
but I noticed my Cataplexy the last few days,
Oh and some very exciting news my sister and her fiance went and spent a week away
at Sechelt in B.C., while they were staying there, right in front of their room while sitting on the deck,
A grey whale swam by, Apparently it has been going back and forth between there and 
Davis Bay, she also said they had seen lots and lots of Harbor Seals and Salmon.
I would have loved to have been there.
They loved it and it was a once in a lifetime trip for them,
but would gladly do it again,
the solitude was fantastic.
So my ten minutes of sitting up are pretty much done,
Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you all
and wanted to wish you to have a Happy rest of the weekend.
Until next week,

  1. I am so glad to hear that you are able to sit up more. Being down and out is no fun whatsoever!! And your friend staying longer I hope is a good thing? But it sounds like it may be a little wearing. Don't be afraid to make your needs known to others. Boundaries are important.
    Gently hugging you

  2. On top of what you deal with on a regular basis, you have stuff like back trouble too. I am so sorry you are in any pain and having difficulties walking and getting around. I am sending you my funniest smile along with my wierdest sounds, can you see it and hear them? Hoping to give you a light moment. Hugs to you.

  7. Cindy...so good to see your comment here...and know that I am thinking of you. How wonderful that your sister and her fiance saw a gray whale...and that you have frost at your home. Both of these would be foreign to my area...and I am thrilled to know that they got to see a whale swimming (not in a confined area for public display)....and that cooler/colder weather is on its way. That means it will work its way here....(eventually.) Hugs and love to you Cindy. Take care of yourself...please.

  14. TechnoBabe, you have to stop, thats just too funny and then I fall down and hurt my back all over. lol. today it has not been too too bad, I still have to stop myself from doing things quite yet. I was taking meds every 4 hours and now about every 7 hours so that is really good...I am just going to coast along and not push myself. hope you and James are well. hugs.

    Hugs,
