Hey gals, how's it going? We are back to cooler temps, but only in the 40's so not too bad. I will be glad when spring gets here though.
I have to admit I am having a rough time of it. I am a bit blue with all this medication causing weight gain and other symptoms. I just have to look ahead knowing the weight will come off once they take me off the darn stuff and figure out why I am still having spotting issues and such. My dear sweet hubby is taking the day off on Thursday to go with me for the tests. I know he is very anxious, but I just don't have anything to tell him at the moment. They haven't figured out why I am still doing this. I just hope these tests will get to the bottom of it so no matter what it is, we can fix it.
Maggie: I expected little pamphlets and I got two beautiful books. Thank you so much for the cookbooks. I picked them up yesterday and looked through them. They have some great recipes I want to try on Jack I think he will like. The chocolate recipes are to die for and can't wait to try some of them to help our sweet tooth. No one should ever say they have to deny themselves good tasting food that is healthy and weight friendly. How sweet that the two dogs play together nicely. Fortchy is getting a bath and some trimming tomorrow. I will be glad when I can get him back into the groomers for her to work her magic though.
Jean: Ooooh, less than two weeks and you can wing your way to sunny Hawaii. I know you have to be looking forward to getting out of the nasty weather you guys continue to have. My bil called last night and he said Flagstaff got another big snowstorm (his dd goes to college there) He said Phoenix was getting a lot of rain, which is unusual. He was on his way to Ca to see his wife. I don't know why she hasn't quit her job and moved yet. I know she was not happy about leaving her grandkids, but I sure couldn't live without Jack for 2 months and just be on visiting terms if I didn't have to.
Susan: How interesting about how you got started in quilting. My knitting is none to exciting. I learned to knit when I was 13. My best friend and I joined 4H together when a 4h leader came to the school. She taught me how to knit and taught me how to knit left handed. I didn't do a whole lot with it, but when I had my emergency surgery, I picked it back up so I would have something to do while recuperating. I have since really learned a lot about a lot of knitting techniques, tools and such and really do love it. It keeps me busy, I can make things for family and friends and of course, you can't eat and knit! lol
Today is commissary day. I am not feeling that great this morning, but it has to be done. I have also got to get a walking routine started. It isn't that I am dreading it, just have felt so crummy that it isn't something I even want to think about, but I know I have to get moving that in the long run it will make me feel better and give me more stamina.
Thank you all for being so supportive. I really need my friends that understand being an older woman. I don't want my youth back, I just want back what I had before they started trying to make me better! You know the adage sometimes the cure is worse than the sickness, I am beginning to believe it in this case.
I think Jack and I are going to plan a little weekend trip over presidents' day and get away just by ourselves. I may ask Kelly if Thomas would like to go with us. We are thinking of driving over to Chatanooga and going through their aquarium and a couple other things. Thomas likes fish so I thought he might like to come.
Have a wonderful weekend all! Faye
