I am warm and safe and dry, my fridge, freezer, and pantry are all full, my Happy Chair is still standing after twenty five years of hard use, and I managed to stitch for a few hours last night while watching more West Wing.
What could I POSSIBLY have to feel blechie about?!
I suspect that it is hormonal, seasonal, and related to my poor little kidney beans doing their level best to just keep doing their thing. I don't know that I feel bad necessarily...I just don't feel...good. (I think I used to refer to this as out of sorts, in sixes and sevens, or, as Stewey would say..."You've got a case of the mean reds, Mo-ther.".
So I am remedy-ing it by soaking in hot epsom tubs, eating good healthy food, drinking lots and lots of water, and reading, writing, stitching, cooking, sleeping, and blogging. I froze lemon slices in a muffin tin to make big huge ice cubes, and the very sight of seeing them bobbing about in my sippy cup makes me a happy girl.
I finished The Tyoewriter's Tale and started The Eastern Shore by Ward Just...both very good in my humble literary fiction loving opinion. I also discovered a trio of books...The Invisible Library, I think, that I might try when the current stack runs out.
So that's the report for today. I'm sorry it's not all sunshine and rainbows and unicorns today, my dearies, but I'm hoping that YOUR corner of the world is full of all three!
Onward!
Sounds like a case of what I call the doldrums. I guess I am dating myself. I find your attitude inspiring. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteLet's find some good in today, God is still in His heaven and watching out for us. The azaleas are blooming in Texas, I can watch Blue Bloods all day long if I want to. At my finger tips are lots of lovely stitchery just waiting for me to make my move. Do I want to use a laying tool on multiple strands or just pick up a mindless piece of needlepoint like my Grandma. Thinking of you a lot as you face these trials with such bravery and humor. I can pray for you as often as I want during a day and know God listens and loves you.
ReplyDeleteI'll swap today with you as my water heater has been being terrible. Replaced 3 parts still not right will replace upper thermostat AGAIN tomorrow & pray it works as a new water heater is NOT possible gonna take meds,watch something on Netflix,say my prayers then go. to. bed. Here's to a good night & an even better tomorrow. Blessings Baa
ReplyDeleteSounds like another good day to recuperate. Reading always restores the soul.

I can't compare my situation to yours but I can somewhat identify. I have called my doctor from out of town and all I could tell her was that I just wasn't feeling good. Take care and keep those lemon ice cubes coming!
ReplyDeleteJust ponder that you are greatly loved and admired and the many caring notes of grace that go out to you from those of us who admire your valiant spirit and gift of humor that you share with us. Whatever is causing the
ReplyDeleteblechie, you or we are not liable, so turn the page, pick
up the needle,continue to soak luxuriantly, redeem the day
Hang in there. Sending warm thoughts and good karma your way. 😀
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about sunshine and rainbows. I think anyone of considerable years 'understands' what you are saying. (I must admit here I am older than dirt and just as messy.) There are a lot more days like that than not and you just have to 'roll with it.' At least that's what I find. I can't change much but I CAN just keep truckin' and have some green tea which helps me feel better (after I've had my allotted 2 cups of coffee in the morning of course!). The world is a circle. There are plusses ad minuses, people with better times and worse times. That's the way of it. I apologize for the long post. I've been up since 4am, can't sleep and am waxing philosophical. My apologies. Hugs & Prayers, Cathryn
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHope today is a better day :)
