Cautiously Feeling Better

 I am finally feeling almost human again. The past few days have been rough. I went to the salon and got a much-needed haircut and missed my nap today. I am tired, but not overwhelmingly so. I will be going to bed early tonight. 

My internet signal has been iffy since last week. Today is normal. Yesterday I finally got the crown put back on the post. I did suggest he get some gorilla glue for patients such as myself. After that I picked up prescriptions and then we went to vote. It was very quick, since my state had no referendums to read. I took a nap as soon as we got home from all the running around. No idea why the afternoon found me in so much pain. My hand was hurting and sending pains to my fingers and wrist. I have decided the cyst is not an octopus, but a jelly fish! The pain feels like bee stings, which is similar to what a jellyfish will do.

My back started aching after I changed the bed sheets and then supervised The Man with the vacuum. I was exhausted and sat down while The Man rinsed out Toni Louise's diaper and the pee pads from the floor. It was impressive that he managed all that without help from me! Just proves that he can do all the things I normally do!

I don't know what I did, but my back had a twinge, then my neck and shoulder stiffened. I went to bed at 7:30 and fought my old foe, insomnia for a few hours, then finally succumbed to the pain and took 2 ibuprofen and 2 acetaminophens together and got enough relief to be able to sleep.

Today was a new day. The sun shone down on me as I walked around admiring my crocus and daffodils. I was chatting with Lucy and Marble, as they followed me, but still avoided being touched. Kevin came running to play with Lucy and they greeted each with head rubs. I was watching them play wrestle when I took notice of Marble. She was walking up the steps to the upper level of the yard and her belly, her big round belly, swayed from side to side.

Looks like there will be more kittens in the very near future. I just hope she does not eat one of hers! I have been told that we might need a kitten from this litter. That was The Man who told me I could have no more pets!

I finally remembered to call the surgeon about my hand and the X-ray. The hand has been on the back burner as my body acclimates to my new drug regime, but shouldn't they have called me? I was promised a call back today but didn't get one. Looks like I will have to go to Gainesville after all. Do I expect too much?

    It's a shame to hear that a feral cat is pregnant again.

Hot Diggity Dog!

  Although this is my very first post, I am not new to blogging. For years I have been sharing my good days, my bad days, and many calamities with those who cared to read my words.  Did I want to start a brand-new blog? Not really. Life sometimes gets in the way. I acquired a stalker along the way. She is relentless and will not go away. I have had readers who disagree with me and have even said some harsh things in comments. Eventually they seem to move on and let me be. Not this one. The easiest thing was to stop posting on my old blog and create a new one. So, here I am. My new blog name would suggest that I am excited. I suppose I am. That being said, the name is more like a tribute to my canine companion, Charming Eddie. Charming Eddie is a dachshund, hotdog, wiener dog, fat little sausage filled with love for me. My constant companion has inspired many a story. Not just him, but his canine and turtle siblings. Yes, I am Mom to 3 dogs and a turtle. If I had my way, there ...

Gardens and Cats

  My gout has gone, but the memory stays! Now my neck is bothering me with arthritis. I am sure digging has nothing to do with it. I seem to be in a race to finish my upper garden. Only two bags of mulch remain.  I spread one today and planted two Crepe Myrtle bushes and another cone flower. This one is orange. I already have white and purple. It is safe to say that there is no particular color scheme. Just lots of color. Yesterday I bought 6 shepherd's hooks that I saw on Marketplace. One is already in place on my little deck with a hummingbird feeder that is visible from the window next to my sewing machine. It is on the high end and hopefully out of reach from the cat population. The cat population continues to grow. A new cat showed up last week. A fluffy grayish one. I am pretty sure it is female. She is not as skinny as Mousy Tongue and I fear she will be adding some babies soon. Hard to tell with all that fur, but her belly is certainly bigger than the other two females...

Mulch, Teeth and Steppingstones

  Today is the big day! I will be glued to the dentist chair for an hour while they make a mold of my mouth and then, ultimately my new tooth. I am excited. I won't have the tooth installed today, but I am one step closer to eating popcorn! Why is it that you always want what you can't have. I don't even like popcorn that much, but since I don't have the ability to chomp it up, I want it like nothing I have ever wanted before! This upper garden is trying to kill me! Just when I think I can almost see completion, something happens to put me two steps behind the one step I took. I am praying that I will be able to eke out my last bag of mulch to cover the carboard.  I have since changed my mind several times about what will surround the steppingstones. First, I was going to use gravel with no steppingstones but walked on some of the gravel I have on hand and didn't like the way it felt to my feet. Not my bare feet, mind you, but I could tell there would be a balance i...
