UGH...JUST PLAIN OLD UGH.



Just me...having a Tuesday. I don't know if it's a treatment hangover or wicked pre-ladytime or maybe a touch of Rich's flu...but I'm here and that's about it today.  Life is a bit of a blur these last few days...nothing but loud machines, needles, poking about, fatigue, a terribly bruised Buzzy, and a good case of the weepies.  

I promise you, though, that I am really behaving myself through it and doing things that I know are good for me, like eating carefully, walking, trying to rest, etc. The thing I'm NOT doing is stitching, but as soon as I get myself a bit more together today and pick up a few small provisions from the Martins...all will be well in that department too.

The sun is shining and the birds are sweetly tweeting today, Dearies! If I close my eyes, I can almost see Stewey snoozing in the sun in the back window of Chez Spinster...oh how I miss that little dog so!

Here's hoping that your very own Tuesday is filled with everything you love! Thank you for your lovely notes telling me all about goings-on in your corner of the world...I read them and take them in like medicine and think they do more for me than any other thing in my medical arsenal at this point!

Love yourselves deeply and well...God knows I do!

  1. Coni, I’m a major dog-lover, and every time you post a picture of Stewey I get all teary. He is a handsome fellow. I hope the sunny day helps lift your physical fog and you enjoy the afternoon and evening and get some stitching done. A sunny day can do a lot for your spirits. Your stitching piece is turning out lovely.

  2. I'm both surprised and dismayed that there's no actual 'port' in your body for the dialysis needles to hook up with. I can't imagine being poked 3x a week like that. Have been thru long-time IV therapies and the ports were a Godsend. I so feel for you, my dear.

    And withdrawal from your crafting- I also so know what that is like. If there's no energy, there's no energy. Period. Sleep is so necessary, but it's not really feeding the creative side of us, you know?

    Hoping this week gets better. Happy Spring, Miss Coni!

  3. Hugs to you Coni! Thinking of you and hoping you start feeling better and more like stitching. It is the best way I know of to feel grounded and centered! Keep taking care of yourself!

  4. Coni dear heart, how I needed your gentle hugs today. I sat here & breathed deeply & just enjoyed the warmth of your love. Thank you. I am sending warm sunshine breezes & love from Florida. It's a beautiful day with the warm breeze blowing in the windows & hunky Vin Diesel on the telly.
    Love you

  7. Coni, I know what it's like to miss such a good friend. Spring is around the corner - despite more snow promised for us this week in southern Maine. At this point, it melts quickly. Soon the daffodils will be poking their frilly heads through the crusty snow. Better days ahead for all of us, I'm sure. Love and good wishes to you.

  8. Coni, I realize how much you miss your Little. Why don't you get a new dog.
    They certainly fill your life with purpose & love. You would also be getting more walking in with a dog. No one can replace what you had, but a new one will still fill a void.

  9. Coni, I admire you so much. We have a few things in common. I love dogs, we have 3 and I can't life without them. When I had to put my first dog Princess down i cried for weeks and still miss her 6 years later. Eventually i formed a bond with a new dog. I love to cross stitch and your work is amazing. In addition I have my own medical issues .I have Crohn s disease and I get septic very often 8 times in 3 years. Most days I barely get out of bed. I need to find my stitching and reading mojo back. I wonder everyday how you are doing. I love reading the blog. Take care of you.

  11. You just rest and relax. While I love to see your stitching I would rather hear that you are doing well. xo

  12. Coni, sending you all the warm comforting thoughts I can. Chronic illness is such a pain in the back side. Hang in there. Hoping for many good warm days and springtime flowers for you.

  13. I do miss you when you're silent for a few days, Coni. But I imagine regular dialysis can be difficult, but you have other issues as well. I just continue to pray and wait until you're ready. And stitch, I'm getting close to a finish!

  14. Coni, I know there is nothing that can be said to make you better, but know I am sending you best wishes. I am so happy that you have JB with you during this time.

  20. Hey Coni! Glad you posted. sorry you are having such a rough time of it! I too have had dogs go over the rainbow bridge...three MinPins, a mutt, and family dogs. I miss them all. ((hugs))

    Went to the clinic yesterday for a docs appointment about a sinus infection. Got there, no ID card (we are retired military and they won`t look at you without that shiny little card). So made another appointment for later that afternoon, went back, saw the doc and was waiting for meds at the pharmacy window when this HUGE, and I mean HUGE!! German Shepard went loping through past our chairs...we were so stunned we just had our mouths open. She had no collar or harness, just running through like she was having the best time. She had come from the housing across the street and decided to come for a visit I guess. The owner chased her down and all was well. What a gorgeous dog though...just a real beauty.
    Other than those shenanagans, I have been working my way through my sampler, The Old Scot from HATS. I suspect I will work it til it is finished, it is such a lovely stitch. Wishing you better days with lots of stitchy goodness!!
