Getting Older....

Well, the samples that my doctor gave me are gone, and I had to buy more antibiotics at the pharmacy. $$$ away, sigh. A sign of getting old. Medicine seems to be so much more the older you get. $89.00 for 7 pills. Insurance sure didn't make much of a dent. Makes me very happy about my usually being healthy.

"High Fever Pitch Blues" By The Whiner

Well hello again cyberspacians.
I'm finally feeling human after about 4 days of having a very high fever. Getting that high fever and the head exploding then freezing when the fever breaks. You know the feeling, head exploding, sweating, clammy, freezing, repeat and repeat and repeat. I'm just glad that it's over.
Whine whine whine.
There I'm done.
It's great to be back....

Hi from us.... 

Mumbo Jumbo....

My husband at times can seem almost clairvoyant. Not to sound out there or anything, but he has an extremely insightful perspective about people that are close to him. What makes me say this now is, that when he got home from work I told him about our friend having the heart attack, and he had been attempting to call him several times over the last few days, sensing that something was wrong. He even showed me his cell phone log that had all of the failed attempts at trying to reach him. (This isn't a friend that he regularly calls either).
Over the many years that we've been together, I would make what I'd think was a random call to him, and then learn that he had wanted me to call. I love how this makes me feel so very close with him, like we're connecting on a higher level of sorts. I found myself trying it out on him, where I would focus on him and wish him to call me. Kind of creepy how it seems to work, but because of his ablilities I think, not mine.....

We Love You!

Life is so very precious....
I got a phone call from a good friend telling me that her husband also a good friend had just had a heart attack while up skiing. I was in real shock, as this friend has always been active and in good shape. Not to mention ten years younger than us. Thankfully the drugs have been working dissolving the clots in his vessels. He had 30% blockage, very scary. He will stop smoking cigarettes, let's hope it goes well, as most of us know how hard it is to quit smoking. He's coming home today after being in the hospital for several days. We wish him well, also to his wife, and daughter who have had a rough week also.

Getting My Room Back!

We have a beautiful home that we built many years ago. The "downstairs" never got finished due to our having all of our junk stored there while we finished the rest of the house. So this space has been filled with piles of projects, and stuff that we haven't even seen in years. You know, that one item that we might need some day, then when we do need it we can't find it so we end up going out to buy another one anyway....
Well, I don't know what is different with my thoughts, motivation or whatever I'm feeling, but I like it. I've been going through this junk and throwing it out with vigor, how empowering this activity is. It's funny to go through and see these things that at one time I thought were so very important to keep. This morning I started smelling a bad smell. So I'm taking a break and playing on the computer before I go investigate any more. Last week, I saw a mole lumber by. So I know that critters have been living down here, they'll have to move back outside.

The Donna....

I just finished watching Donna The Buffalo a group that performed at Schooner Wharf down in Key West Florida. I love our fast connection, streaming video from webcams are very cool.
Here I sit with it snowing and cold, approximately 7 to 8 inches of snow outside, and I'm watching the concert goers wearing sandals and tank tops outside in Florida.
My sister in law and her husband are groupies and told me of the concert today. It was fun, but I definitely need to improve on my computer speakers. It was fun also that I felt like I was partying with them.
I even saw them on the web camera, coolness.

Bye....

Today is the last day that I'm able to visit with my kids with all of us together, actually we'll do the airport stuff tomorrow, laundry and packing today. My son has to fly back, but my daughter lives not too far away, we don't get together very much, because of distance and work/school schedules. They have been in and out visiting with all of their friends that are also home for the holidays. It has just been wonderful having them home over the last few weeks, so we could all be together, but all good things must come to an end. Where did that saying ever come from, I hate it!
My kids aren't really kids anymore, they are grown and both living on their own, but they will always be kids to me. Otherwise I'd be old right?
They have chosen such different paths from each other, but are very close and I'm really happy about that. It's a good feeling knowing that they will be there for each other. They have both been making smart decisions and choices in their lives and I'm so very proud of them both.
When a family is in the early stages of growing, and everyone is busy with sports, lessons, concerts, and contests, stop occasionally to look at how wonderful your family is. I have wonderful memories, and am still making memories. I just wish that we could be together always, not just for visits.
I like that my husband and I are back to just the two of us, but I do miss the kids being around all of the time. This empty nest syndrome sucks
sigh.....

Happy 2005

Happy New Year. I've been reading blogs for some time now, but decided to creat my own so I wouldn't be anonymous in my comments any longer, and to get some comments of my own as well.
It's an interesting thought as I write this, how I present different sides of my personality and how various friends and family that may be reading this may stand in judgement. So I say to you don't judge, just listen to my thoughts if you're interested, and respond so that I may listen to your thoughts. I'm very happy to be able to have a blog that I can reach out to so many people and hear viewpoints around the world.
More later, I'm starting my diet today......
