Where'd The Week Go?

I can't believe it's Friday night already. I don't know what the heck happened to the week, but it sure went by fast. The one very good thing about this week was that I felt a lot better than I did last week. Except for a headache here and there in the beginning of the week, I got through the rest of the days feeling pretty good, although tired. For that, I am thankful!

Tuesday I had to bring my mom to the eye doctor. She has diabetes, and her eyes need to be checked to make sure everything is ok with her eyes physically. Since they had to put in drops to dilate her eyes, I drove. It sure isn't that easy to try driving after those drops! After her appt, we had lunch at Applebee's, and then went to Walmart. Seemed like we were out forever, and I guess we were. I left the house at 10:30ish to pick my mom up, and we got back home after 4. Tiring!! Dinner was very very casual for me, since I didn't have the energy to cook. I watched a Netflix movie after eating (which I didn't really care for), and got online for awhile before going to bed!

Wednesday my mom and I went to Dollar General for some wrapping paper and cards, and then to the City Market. I got some yummy peaches and plums, but there wasn't much else to really buy. I pretty much took it easy after going back home. For dinner, I tried a new recipe that my sister recommended: Quinoa and black bean chili. It was delicious, although quite a bit spicy! The recipe calls for chipotle adobo, which I've never had, and I had no idea that it was so hot! The recipe also had jalapeno peppers, but I skipped that altogether, and I'm glad I did. I can't imagine how much hotter my mouth would've gotten if that was in it, too!! lol It made a huge pot of chili, so most of it went into the freezer on Wednesday night. I just love leftovers!

I was happy to be at rehab on Thursday, since I hadn't gone since last Tuesday. It felt pretty good to exercise! When I got home, my friend, Dee, came over to have lunch out in the backyard with my new table and chairs. She brought some food over since she has food allergies, but she asked what was in the chili, and found that she could actually eat it! So, we both had chili, fresh salsa and chips, and carrots. It was so very nice out at that point, I almost didn't want to go in! After an hour, we did though, and Dee left for home. And an hour after that, it downpoured. Perfect timing!! Thursday evening we went to Mandy's to celebrate my niece and nephew's birthdays that were earlier in the week. My niece turned 6 on Tuesday, and my nephew turned 4 on Wednesday. I can't believe how fast they are growing up!! Wish they'd stop that!! lol

Today I had a low key day around the house, taking my good old time to clean something, and then go back online and putz around. By late afternoon, I took a nap with Mittens (always so comforting!!). I had a quick dinner, and then went to an art gallery opening with my friend, Dee, and her parents. Dee had a couple pieces in the gallery, which were very nice! One was a purple betta fish, which she painted, and the other was photography of bull dogs. We were there for an hour or so, enjoying (mostly) the other paintings and such. Afterward, we went to Dairy Queen for some sundaes. We sat in the car eating them and chatting for about half an hour. It was nice! After I got dropped off at home, I watched my Netflix movie, which was Little Fockers. It was alright. Not as funny as the first two, I thought, but not terrible either.

Tomorrow is a busy day, with an art festival to go to, and a party in the evening, so I must get to bed!! Sure hope this weekend doesn't just whiz by!! lol

Health Changes

 I finally thought I was making progress with my anxiety that had ramped up again back in November of last year. It's been a very long road of not feeling good, trying to increase the Remeron, trying to learn once again that my life is worth a whole lot of SOMETHING. The tremendous loss of my mom, my grandma, a couple of dear phriends, and the nursing home volunteering put a huge pressure of my value of what my life is supposed to be like. However, I had finally started to turn that around. In June, I was robbed (another story for another time, maybe), and on that day I figured that out, I realized I wasn't anxious at all. I was pumped with adrenaline that whole day since I was so angry, so I thought for sure the anxiety would be back again, but it wasn't. And for at least a month and a half, it's been pretty decent. I've been so thankful for that.  But in the last several weeks, I don't know what has happened to my body, especially my abdominal area, but I have

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in
