Thursday's Thoughts

So, I went and did it again. 

 I'll be taking a small hiatus (I typically post a blog post daily) from my blog, but hope to be back soon.  Meanwhile, I'll have my foot elevated. 

 About a week and a half ago, I was inside the garage, putting it up, to put camping chairs and tables away.  Daughter's friend put the table against the outside of the door and it slammed down on my foot.  Apparently, if you have varicose veins, an injury (not always, but I'm the lucky one...sigh) can cause pressure in the veins and more injury.

 Weeds will be growing and I just don't care.  I hope Hubby and Daughter will help pick from the garden, tend my ladies and gent, get the mail, etc.

 I have no idea how to manage a breakfast for the both of them, nor dinner, so we'll see what happens.  I'll manage something.
My survival bag over the next six days.  Praying I don't need it much after that.  Possibly down the road for definite vein surgery. Meanwhile, I'm downing my elderberry tincture for the immune system, and placing an order for real vitamin C.  There will be a prescription picked up today, along with a topical cream, so probiotics are on the grocery list for Hubby to pick up.

 Say a prayer, send up good mojo, and good thoughts.  Another decision by my doctor will be made next week after this long holiday weekend.  I'm just glad we didn't have plans, ha ha!  I guess Hubby will be busy, but I'll not be much help to him.

What a poopy end to your rough, tough summer! You're so active each day that I know it will be hard for you to "stay put" with your foot elevated, but if you don't do it, your recovery period could be a lot longer. Gather those handwork supplies, your library books and whatever else you can think of and consider it a time to get lots done in those categories. If hubby and daughter don't/won't/can't help out with all else that's necessary, shame on them! It will be a graphic demonstration of all you do!!

Take your time and know that life will go on around you. It is so hard when you are used to being up and active. I broke my ankle a year ago by falling down the stairs at my son's house and, although I appreciated the great care by him and his family (my 3 grandsons fought over who got to help me), it was so hard to have to stay down and inactive. It was my first time on crutches and the most frustrating thing was that I couldn't carry anything so had to depend on someone else anytime I moved from one place to another.

Well, that sucks. I finally get walking around pretty good after my foot mishap and now you get hurt and have to take a hiatus. I just love reading what you have going on. Take care and I hope you don't have to have surgery.

Hang tough!

Try to relax and allow all who want to serve you in the fashion which you deserve. Imagine that has diligent you are caring for your clan that it will be returned in copious amounts.

Oh my, sending prayers for sure. I don't have varicose veins, but I am diabetic, so I have to watch foot injuries too. Just keep it elevated and relax. The weeds will wait, and if the hubby and daughter want to eat, they're going to have to figure out how to do it themselves I guess.
In the meantime, I'm sure sending prayers.
God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
