Hey Y’all.

These past few days have been rough.  I’ve figured out that the weather has a lot to do with the way I feel.  It’s been wet, or cold or both the past couple of days and I’ve been hurting pretty bad.

All last week the weather was beautiful.  And I felt great.  The one day I went shopping, I actually went without my cane, that’s how good I was feeling.  Then things started going downhill.

Saturday we went shopping and I did ok.  It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining.  Sunday Micheal smoked a roast on the grill.  It was a fairly nice day, but not much sun shining.  The temp had started falling.

Monday I was still doing ok.  It had turned colder but hadn’t started raining yet.  I stayed in and took care of myself.  Tuesday was pretty much a repeat of Monday except the pain was a little worse, but Micheal took me to dinner and I managed pretty good.

Yesterday morning I got up hurting pretty bad.  I stayed in the recliner under my afghan all day.  When Micheal got home, he cooked dinner and did the dishes afterward.  It started raining yesterday evening.  It was 39 degrees when I got up this morning I was hurting so bad I actually took a Vicodin.  I haven’t taken a pain pill in about 4 months.  That’s how bad it is. 

Well, I got the curtains all made and hung in the kitchen (they look pretty good if I do say so myself), but I haven’t gotten the dust cover made for my keyboard yet.  As soon as I’m functioning better I’ll get that done, among other things.

I went digging through my linens last week.  I have a couple of beautiful table cloths that I’ve never used so I got one of them out and put it on the table, along with some lace placemats, gold chargers and a pair of beautiful blue accented lotus candle holders with white tapers.  I told Micheal that I was gonna stop saving the pretty things for special occasions and company.  We have a lot of nice things that have been stored and unused and I decided it was time to use them.  We already use our good china for every day. 

And when we went out to dinner Tuesday evening, we got dressed up instead of wearing our every day stuff.  We even decided we were gonna dress up and go out somewhere nice at least once a week.  No more waiting for special occasions.  We’re gonna make every day a special occasion.

Diet wise, things are still the same.  Someday….

Well anyway, here’s to making every day a special occasion, no matter what!!!

Y’all have a great day.
