The Simple Woman's Daybook
Outside my window... the sun is just coming up. there are some ppl running (probably from the popo) and spikey and grace are cuddled up on mom's bed with her.
I am thinking...about what is coming up for me medically, with my leg. with my life.
I am thankful for...a few friends that have my back all the time. my siblings who really take care of me and school, so I have the opportunity to change me.
I am wearing...jeans and a kenny tshirt.
I am remembering...things, that i'd rather not talk about today.
I am going...to get to my homework today. my 125 teacher is dissatisfied with my Google report. so I better start working on it.
I am currently reading...No Place Like Home. It's very good.
I am hoping...my brother's back surgery is successful. I think I am more worried than he is, or... he conceals it better.
On my mind...it feels like everything that is 'me', I lose. baking. husbands. the kennel. my self.
Noticing that...our country is being RULED or, rather we are being told what we can and cannot do by the gov't these days. we are losing our freedoms and people are letting it happen.
Pondering these words...Don't carry a grudge. While you're carrying the grudge the other guy's out dancing. ~ Buddy Hackett
In the kitchen...homework fills the table, looks like chaos, yet spikey and grace just lay on the rug so peacefully.
Around the house...its a Rosemary Catch - All. I can't wait to go away.
One of my favorite things...when our family gathers for dinner. either here or Megs or a restaurant. You can be sure of alot of laughs, pictures and fun. I cherish those times. We used to do it once a week with my cousins, cards, pizza, cards, cookouts, cards, swim parties, cards, food, kids, dogs, cats, love. Now, Alyssa is the youngest of the group and in a few weeks, the only one of the kids left at home. Kinda makes me sad, but really makes me appreciate the times we have shared.
A picture...
im hungry!
Hello Mary -
ReplyDeleteYou know dogs accept what is around them chaos, their keepers, the love we give them. In return, they stay devoted to you. They accept our short comings, even the physical ones. I have spinal stenosis. If affects my ability to walk, but I still do
What is you ailment?
Jim
in 1987 I broke my knee cap and my calf bone. all these years later my knee is totally destroyed and the other is full of arthritis. I am diabetic and have neuropathy in my feet, and it seems that it is now up into my calf. I am waiting to see a specialist ( I have no insurance, so I am waiting on the poor people's doctor) to see if they are going to have to take ( omg if I don't stop CRYING ABOUT THIS) my left leg from the knee down. I can't seem to function worrying about this.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about your spine. I know all about that too. I had an orthopedic dr in California who said that I needed back surgery in 2008, I didn't do it and I wish I had. THAT affects my hands, and its hard for me to grip things without dropping them.
Man life after 50 sucks!!!

ReplyDeleteI agree, it sucks after 50. The body starts to give away, the alternative sounds worse, and no matter how much we have done to take care of ourselves financially -- we are at the mercy of those who do not know us and care plus the cost is outrageous. Obamacare? Not sure what is does for us. But I am afraid it is a method to keep health care cost down, not to help those who need health care.
My diagnosis was in 1988, did not get my operation until 2001. Damage to my spinal cord was done, but I learn to live my issues. Some days worse than others, but still working.
Mary, I hope each day becomes better for you.
Jim
