FOR TODAY

Outside my window… Warm and windy

I am thinking…        that this Conrad Murray trial is a snipe hunt

I am thankful for… so many things, it’s hard to count

From the learning rooms… Cooking is fun, cleaning is not

I can't believe … I’m driving downtown tonight

From the kitchen… they can fix their own

I am wearing…  a UK tee shirt and jeans

I am creating…   who knows?

I am going…   to read a book for a while

I am reading… magazines

I am hoping… my shoulder stops spasming

I am hearing… the palm trees blowing and jets above

Around the house… Dog likes his living room bed

One of my favorite things… lemon sorbet

A few plans for the rest of the week…

1.           Scrub the floors

2.           Organize closet

3.           Pay the rent

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing:

This is the Narrows at Zion National Park. When our kids were little we hiked it about 3 miles in and back out. It's a wonderful hike along the Virgin River.

Monday musings

There's chicken and vegetables simmering away in the crockpot, I'll add the dumplings in right before my daughter comes home from work. I like dinners that basically make themselves. Last night was vegetable lasagna and salad. I also put out some salami and crackers and cheese and we could have made a whole dinner out of that. My mom came over and watched football and cheesy sci fi movies with us too.

The hives were especially nasty this morning. On the left side of my face they were like huge welts and my jaw line was swollen. Usually by now they've pretty much faded but my arms and chest still look nasty and I can feel the little prickling of the skin which tells me new ones are coming out. No reason. No explanation. Blood work ruled out autoimmune disease but I'm really wondering. I don't feel bad, I don't have any other symptoms, but I've got hives. They are actually called urticaria. Now mine are chronic. I'm not happy. I need a diagnostician like Gregory House to figure out what is causing these hives. Cranky or not, he's the one....bwahahahahaa

later!

Edmund says, It's Friday, shake those electrons Peoples!!!!

Nothing big or exciting for this weekend. 

Happy First Day of Fall!!

I have a friend

Who loves me even though we don't agree on some things. We talk about the Bible, we talk about kids, we talk about dogs ( you gotta love someone who'd have as many dogs as she has kids if her husband would let her), and we talk about life. We talk about how God works in our lives, not the way we want, but how he wants.  We talk about how we pray, it may not be the same way, but it's directed to the same place. We talked about our shared love for fried Jack in the Box Tacos. It's a guilty pleasure and I'd rather have 2 of their cheap-o tacos than the good ones at the Mexican restaurant down the street that drowns theirs in lettuce. She's my friend and I thank God every day for her wisdom, her humor and her steadfastness in the Lord.

I went to my dermatologist today. She's ok. I mean that. I feel comfortable with her. We were going over the list of things that might cause my hives, since my blood tests have ruled out auto immune disease, allergies to medications, food, and what ever. One of the things on the list was pregnancy. I looked at her and said nope, no way on God's green earth. We laughed over that. I'm going back on the acid reflux med even though I don't have acid reflux. It seems to work with the antihistamine that I'm taking to block some receptors. It's not cheap but if it works, I'll be happy. I am tired of seeing the hives.

After the doctor I went to the drug store. Picked up the reflux meds and got some saline spray. The worst thing about these meds is that my nose gets all dried up and I cough all night. This stuff sure makes my nose nice. We've moved all of our prescriptions to the 24 hour pharmacy that's actually open 24 hours.  There are a lot of drugstores open 24 but not all the pharmacies.

FOR TODAY

Outside my window… Sunny and mild

I am thinking…        I really have to go to the market

I am thankful for… good books and good friends

From the learning rooms… No idea at all

I can't believe … tying gas prices to a hurricane

From the kitchen… Those dishes won’t do themselves

I am wearing…  sandals, shorts and a tank top

I am creating…   I have no idea

I am going…   to listen to some music

I am reading… Nothing right now

I am hoping… that the kitty next door is ok

I am hearing… usual sounds of the neighborhood

Around the house… Fallen leaves are invading

One of my favorite things… Marshmallows

A few plans for the rest of the week…

1.           Finish watching the 9-11 stuff I DVR’ed

2.           Catch up with my filing

3.           Pray that the hives go away

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing:

I hate these hives

I thought they were diminishing but nope, back this morning full force. My legs look like red blotches surrounded by white circles. They are also on the top and bottom of my arms. Drag.

My home town newspaper had a thing about Tell Us About Your Favorite Teacher. Just for shits and giggles I entered it by telling about my 3rd grade teacher. I adored her. She told me it was ok to read as much as I wanted to read. They picked my anecdote. I sent them my class picture from the 3rd grade and a picture of myself as I am today (I hope their scanner doesn't break). We shall see what they publish.

Night bunnies!

Where were you 10 years ago?

I heard about the attacks as I was driving my son to school. We had not turned the TV on that morning which was very unusual. We always watched KTLA 5 Morning News. This day we did not. We heard Rick Dees on KIIS-FM talking about the tragedies in NY and DC. I took my son to school, I asked him if he was okay with that. He said yes. My daughter was in 7th grade and getting ready to walk to middle school when she turned on the TV and saw the 2nd tower fall. She went to school because as she told me later, she was afraid not to. School let out early that day and we watched in horrible fascination as every channel was focused on smoldering ruins. No one knew for certain how many lives had been lost. No one knew if more attacks were to come. Stories would come forth in the coming days of the kindness of people in tiny Canadian cities who made welcome the new refugees who were on planes forced to land when the flying ban went on. How many people made new friends that day? How many people walked aimlessly trying to make sense of the horror? And now 10 years later, what has happened to America?

Our personal freedoms once taken for granted are being eroded in the name of Homeland Security. Grandmothers being strip searched by over zealous "patriots" working for our own government. People are reporting people speaking in a foreign language sitting on a plane. No explanation is given when people are taken off of planes, altering plans, delaying arrivals, because of the paranoia that is fed by Big Brother.  In the meantime our infrastructure has taken a beating by means of hurricanes, tropical storms, floods, tornados, earthquakes. A president asks to rebuild the nation and is rebuffed by his opponents who owe their souls to the company store. These aren't the good old days and they certainly aren't what I imagined as my life as I enter into "my golden years". Nope. Not at all.

As ever, YMMV.
