Feeling much better this afternoon

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

I am much better this afternoon.My ankle and knee were hurting from gout. I take meds but when it flares up I have to take an extra pill.The pill plus heating pad did good.
I was very sadden to hear that Terri's ( CANBDONE) husband passed away. Poor Terri is devastated I am sure.
We saw the streak of the shuttle a few minutes ago. Not much to see from here except for streak like you see similar to a jet flying.
Not much else going on. I always love seeing the butterfly pics but the butterflies I see out window never stop until today. I finally got a pic.It's not real great but better than nothing.
And ofcourse the birds.
And here is Grandpa's helper

    Sooooo sorry to hear you're dealing with gout!
That's the pits....BUT the best treatment (I'm sure you've gotten this advice already) is drinking cherry juice! It really really works!
Love your pictures!!!

    Hi Eleni, sorry to hear your knee is playing up with the gout. I do believe it is a very nasty disorder to have.
Granpa's little helper is so cute.
yes I did enjoy surprise visit from son, always nice to catch up and have a hug.

    How awful for Terri! I can't even imagine.

I love taking pictures of butterflies. I have pictures on MySpace and maybe Facebook of butterflies. The museum in Milwaukee has a butterfly exhibit that's pretty cool.

The picture of Grandpa and Landon is sweet. Landon has such pretty eyes!

Motivation quote

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

I was thinking about Terri CANBDONE who lost her husband yesterday and I found this.



We all know someone who’s been having a rough time or someone who’s luck seems to always run short. What can you do about it? You can remember that we all have bad days and offer support. Think about how much it means to you when someone offers a shoulder or helping hand when you’re having a bad day. Use that feeling of gratitude to help someone else. Become someone’s inspiration and hope, showing them that it is okay to stumble, offering a hand, and helping them up again

Not anything new to report.
I did do some chair exercises for first time since I had my defib/pacemaker replaced.
Slowly doing better on eating each day.
Just been a quiet day. Watched TV did some sparking,did some reading. I just finished the 2nd vampire book. I am almost 1/2 way thru the 3rd one. I said I wasn't going to read them but once you start you want to see how it ends. It isn't gory or I wouldn't read it.
Ok Lets see what picture I can find for today. I love the blue jays that visit my back yard.

    I love to read vampire books. I do have one on my shelve. It is very powerful book. I did look differently on this books since i finished to read this one. I never read Twilight but I like to watch movies.

I love your bird. There are no birds behind my windows, only cars.

I like you are better with eating. It is very nice. I am good with mine too. But I am not good with gym club. I do not like to go there in Summer when it is too hot. I go to ocean.

    Is it funny that I've seen High School Musical parts 1 and 2 but haven't read Twilight? Lol... anyway, glad you're enjoying the series! I will have to eventually read them, too! I do like a good vampire story, anyway! Did you try a Sit and Be Fit today? Glad you're feeling up to doing some exercise! That's great! emoticon

    Tried reading Twilight at least 3 times. Just couldn't get into it. I'm glad you're enjoying them, though! Sounds like you are gradually recovering and feeling better. Don't go too fast though!

    Wow, you're almost done with the Twilight books. I guess I'm going to have to read them now. I don't know why my daughter wants me to read them, she's told me all about them.

Attitude

Monday, July 13, 2009





Remember, the only thing you have complete control over is your attitude. You alone are responsible for making yourself happy. Do not depend on others to keep you smiling and positive. Choose to be optimistic. Avoid complaining, especially when the things you are complaining about can’t be avoided or changed.

    I had a bad day and was a being bratty. I should print that and post it in my cubicle. Right now at work I have a HORRIBLE attitude. A person that is lazy and doesn't do their job well got recognized for going the "extra mile" for the company picnic and got a $100 bonus. It was a shock because she doesn't do anything else. GGRRR!!

    Thanks for reminding us that it is all about attitude.
Ted is no better and I spent Friday in the ER! Gastroenteritis and they discovered I am anemic! I slept the rest of the week end! Not my favorite way to spend a weekend, but it could have been worse!
Thanks for all your encouraging words. You are a blessing!!!

Quiet Sunday

Sunday, July 12, 2009

Started to do this earlier but got a case of pity potty . Started missing all the things I can no longer do.Like go for long drive with hubby or walk on beach. But I am fine now.
Bill picked up 2 tomato plants for me to play with. This is not right time but I will do more in late August and early Sept.
Here are some cherries I tried this week.I never had them before
I also tried a mango again.I didn't care for it.It was sweet with an almost woodsy taste to it.
And here is another coneflower that is blooming. I do much better with plants than I do veggies.
No rain so far.Just hot sun.
Well Bill is waiting to watch a movie he picked up yesterday. Have done good with eating so far.

    Yum! I love mangos, but they are too hard to cut up so we don't get them often. You'd like them in a smoothie or yogurt I bet!
It's good that you try new foods....you never know when you'll find a new favorite. This week was the first for us finding good things at the farmer's market. Can't wait to eat fresh local fruit again!!!!

    I don't like mangos, either! I'm glad you found your cane!

    I really like those flowers. They look like a daisy. Unlike you, I'm HORRIBLE with flowers. I took over my friends plant at work when she was laid off and amazingly enough it's growing!! My plants at home are still alive but my family and I can't seem to remember to water them. We'll see if they last the rest of summer.

I like mango's but not a big fan of cherries. I like the maraschino cherries on my sundaes though. LOL Once every few years I'll get a taste for cherries and I'll buy them but never end up finishing them. Do those cherries taste like bing cherries or do they have a different taste?

Yeah for you for doing good with eating so far. I've been bad this weekend. Tomorrow is a new day!

    That flower is absolutely beautiful! Also, I picked up some of those Cherries too and they are awesome. I think I like them as well as Bing Cherries.

Keep the faith. BTW - see if you can find a place that will give your tomato plants sun in the morning a shade during the warmest part of the day. That might help.

Take care, Sunny
