Day 260 - 'one' boring purple ladybug

yep must be true.  My blog hits are going way down, I'm think'n it's because I'm sooooo boring and that's a GOOD thing! LOL

I never thought I would like the idea that I was boring but in this case I do.  Life doesn't always have to be exciting does it? But today is exciting for me. 

Today I get to go and do the yak yak with a couple of friends.  Yep the yak yak.  Hours of just sitting and yakking to our hearts content.  If we go to a restaurant the servers eventually stop coming around and asking if we want coffee...

Day 259 - 'one' purple finger or two

yep, thought I was going to have a couple purple fingers yesterday after smashing them a few times with the hammer.  No wonder my hands are numb! LOL

Spent yesterday finishing the walls for the next building.  I am waiting for Sir Ray's muscles to be available so we can attach them to the base...

Day 257 - 'one' relaxing day

front framing for the next building

I think not.  Well that was my intention today, to relax after a couple strenuous days of building the walls for the next project.  My feet and hands are continually numb now and at times it's not fun to walk.  Even my BIG crocs aren't giving me much relief but its definitely better than regular shoes.  I'm not sure if my hands and feet are ...

Day 256 - 'one' construction day

Dreaming, I'm only dream'n.  Yep sitting here singing in the dark.  The sun is just starting to rise behind the clouds and the days are getting longer.  Don't you love it when the days start to get longer, so many things you can do...

Day 254 - 'one' thing lost...

so much gained.  Life is to say the least interesting these days.  Many things are forced on me even though I would choose another direction.  One of those things is driving.  I SOOOO miss it...

Day 253 - 'one' size fits all

good grief that is sooooo far from the truth.  God made us all different shapes, everyone is unique, so why is it that everything is cut the same way that comes off the rack?

Well perhaps they are not cut the same way.  There is the belly button rise, the ass-crack rise, the granny waist rise and let's not forget the drafty, the hips fit but the waist don't, rise. ;-)...

Day 252 - finding 'one's' balance

constantly.  Balancing this, balancing that, what does it mean?  When I was working it meant balancing family and work but only until things go out of balance do you recognize there is a problem.  Trying to feel balanced the last couple days has been near impossible.

What do you do when you know you should be doing something but your body tells you ain't...

Day 251 - 'one' sticky situation

Yes it was.  My hands are starting to give me more trouble these days.  The tingling and muscle capacity to hold onto things is getting to be super frustrating.  I dumped a full glass of cranberry juice and soda the other day all over my bedside table, telephone, floor, walls, and bed, what a mess...

Day 249 - 'one' pill, two pills, three pills, twelve?

I think that's too many pills to be taking a day, don't you? I actually got up to fourteen yesterday.  But I seem to have got ahead of the nausea finally.  At least that's the feeling I have at 4am. 

Having the small crochet projects to accomplish during the first few days seems to help a lot.  A least I can lye down and feel like I'm being productive.  They have to be simple projects so my hands and brain can work together and that's quite a feet LOL.  I crocheted 6 dish clothes in the first 24 hours.  I really enjoy tunisian crocheting, it looks like knitting but is twice and fast and soooo easy...

Day 246 - 'one' fun time

at the 'C' centre imagine that.  Ray couldn't go today cause he was working so my daughter Cindy went with me.  We did the yak yak and laughed through the whole lab and dr. appointment.  I like to show people that it's not that scary and the people there are soooo nice.  The only grumpy people are the patients ;-). Ray will go with me tomorrow, he's taken the day off for my chemo session.  We will laugh and yak yak then too.  It's all about attitude...

Day 245 - I wonder how 'one' shriveled up bunch of food

can be soooo good.  Sound strange or what? I've started using a dehydrator the last couple days.  Let's see...what have I tried? I've tried sweet potatoes, zucchini, oranges, banana's, apples and some fruit leathers. 

The sweet potato chips were not very yummy but I think I need to add a spicy coating so they are more tasty.  The zucchini chips...

Day 243 - 'one' crazy weekend

and that it was, in a good way! As Friday was my last day for chemo pills, I begin to feel better and better.  Everyday I think, if I can always feel like this it would be terrific and then the next day I feel even better woohoo!

Sorry for no pics but my computer is not completely up and running yet, so I can't access photos from the weekend. Stay tuned!

Day 240 - 'one' way vision

I can't imagine how it feels to have a 9+ earthquake below your feet.  When these things happen they take you out of thinking about yourself and your world and you begin to realize that at least you have some control over your life.  When the earth shakes...

Day 238 - 'one' way or another

I'm gonna gatcha, gatcha, gatcha.  You can't hide from me...Mr 'C'! I'm going to knock you out like you've never been knocked before, you'll see Mr 'C', you'll 'C'! ;-)

Yep, I'm in a goofy mood.  When you feel crappy the night before you really appreciate feeling better that's for sure. 

Day 237 - 'one' snow picnic

Well if the snow won't come to us, we go to the snow.  Yesterday was the beginning to what I hope will be many adventures.  Adventures are different now.  We modify our usual way of doing things so that we can go and spend some quality time together.

Day 236 - 'one' quiet ladybug

Can you see them? My
bulbs are peeking through the leaves!

It's been a few days since I blogged.  Not sure why but just haven't had much to say.  Life is chugging along. Everyday is predictable.  I know that's supposed to make life easier but it sure don't make it exciting. 

Yesterday I had some little leprechauns decorate my front entry for St. Patrick's Day...

Day 233 - 'one' day of homework

I now draw and use my creative brain to do
my morning journal.  So much fun.

yep it's been a day of finding some new recipes made with fresh food.  I made a mix out of sunflower seeds, carrots, onion, garlic and spices. Sounds interesting doesn't it?.

Day 232 - 'one' board at a time

woohoo...did it ever feel good to do some hammering and screwing [with a drill that is, get your mind out of the gutter] this morning.  Ahhh the energy is returning slowly but surely.  I am soo impatient.  I don't like to wait for my body to recover, and I especially don't like to think I can't do things.  Grumble, grumble, grumble.

Day 231 - 'one' less than perfect

yep less than perfect, stealing a bit of Ray's
chocoloate cake.

we MUST all be that.  Less than perfect.  We all try to be that...perfect, but we need to be LESS than perfect.  What does being less than perfect allow? 

Being less than perfect allows us to need others.  Others who are less than perfect as well. We are meant to be less than perfect so can we share our needs with others and we get to help others as well. 

Day '230' - 'one' nut begins to crack

That's what happens when your body takes over your brain.  When you have no choice but to take it easy and let your body recover.  I have always thought that I could have control and determination over bodily aches and pain but boy was a nut.  A red nut! Well the nut has cracked and has taken the last few days easy.  When your body takes over your brain you sit and contemplate the important things in life and who you are...
