Frustration

5/26 Not a good day, (see gardening). Over the last 2 days I haven’t been able to physically accomplish what I wanted.  So I came inside and took out my adult coloring books and spent the rest of the afternoon “burying my brain”.  That’s what I call what happens to me when I get depressed.  […]

Garden Helpers

Today I was able to get outside around 11:00.  I wasn’t feeling great but I wanted to continue with my beer bottle border.  It gets held up because I have to wait for clear bottles.  I have plenty of brown and green.  Anyway, I wasn’t able to get as far as I wanted because it […]

Memorial Day

5/25 It is Memorial Day. No barbecues here. My husband doesn’t like to cook, although we had to get the best gas grill there is, with a side burner that we never use. Anyway, mind feels good. Besides the crick in my knee and shooting pains in my tooth, I feel I can get something […]

Country Music

Rice Krispies

5/20 Snap, crackle, pop! That’s how I feel when I wake up every day. On top of the above mentioned illnesses, I’m also dealing with my legs just pulsing with pain, like their going to burst. I know I sit too much and believe me, when I’m feeling good, I will be outside or on […]
