March 9-02 It’s been a busy past few weeks- and finally ran myself out of gas. Been doing lots of sewing WELL into the night- and it finally caught up with me. Got Terri’s dresses done for the TG/CD Faire that is this weekend- but couldn’t go to fashion show tonight as feel too punky. The weather has been beautiful (50’s/60’s) but it has made some of the firs start to pollinate and with the strong winds we’ve had- felt it last week- then worked too many hours in shop and got too rundown- so woke up yesterday with Real raw throat and not exactly feeling top of the world. That’s ok- it reminded me to keep up on my stuff(which I tend to slack on) to keep my immune system up. I started dosing on “Immune Source”(colostrum)again last night. My lymphs are sore- but have been pumping and flushing them with echinacea and red clover- and hot baths,so all should be well in a couple of days. Have to remember not to be so neglectful of myself. Chris is doing much better- but still has a way to go to heal,is driving again, cautiously and putting in a few hours a day at work. That in itsself makes him feel better. Not much longer on the brace either! Frank had his first visit with the VA Hospital this week- to see if we can get the cateracts taken care of. They gave the first FULL physical he’s had since he was in the Air Force over 30 years ago. He has a couple of minor problem - associated with being over 50- and they ran a complete blood test. We will know more in a few days. In the meantime he is being set up for Opthemologist appt. plus a couple more specialists. The Dr. did tell him what we already knew- he needs to loose a few pounds, and to lighten up on the salt. He has been exercising more this past few months on the exer-bike, and watching what he eats a lttle more closely- but guess we will have to readjust our diet a bit more. Ironic- until a couple years ago- I ALWAYS struggled with my weight being too high- and he could eat whatever- in whatever quantities. Now it’s reversed-And I actually have to make myself aware to eat more! But lately I have been craving sugar,which is a no-no for cancer-type people- so we’ll just find better ways to satisfy our cravings and be healthier for it. I did manage to get the dresses made for the G-neices in Fla. for Easter. They will look SO cute. Cindy will add the finishing touches of either silk flowers or ribbons at the bodice when I get them shipped to her next week. It brings so many smiles to my face to see them hanging there, and envisioning those sweet things wearing them. Time to hit the tubby and then bed- it is getting late again |
