I've been feeling a little under the weather (if you can count joint problems as being under the weather) so I took a holiday from blogging, but now I'm back!! And am hopeful that I won't be missing anymore for an extended period of time anyway. I've been sickish for over a week now and am starting to get better (my feet are almost pain free, whereas this time last week I was having trouble putting any weight on my the balls of my feet, especially the left one). The whole time I've been staying away from WebMD because I've been through some of this whole routine before a couple of years ago (where I was convinced for a whole TWO weeks that I had Lupus--I don't, btw). But when my toes turned a purply/blue color tonight I thought I'd go ahead and things up (I know very bad idea). I don't think I did too much damage, mostly because we've already ruled somethings out (like gout and arthritis--unless it's an arthritis that doesn't show up on tests). Anyway, since I've thoroughly freaked myself out I'm just going to concentrate on my blessings and ignore anything I don't like for the time being.
Five Things I'm Thankful for This Week:
Family time this Thanksgiving with my Mom's side of the family whom I never really get to see
(P.S. isn't my little cousin so adorable?!?)
I've almost completed a whole pair of fingerless gloves
(minus the thumbs which I haven't quite figured out how to do yet)
The wooly sheep-puppy I call Oscar
(and the fact that he seems to have been mostly good during our out of town trip)
Jack-ster
(who conquered his first circle rawhide recently)
The simple fact that I'm getting better
(I was really hoping this episode wouldn't last 6 months like the last one did)
And last but not least the love and care from God that gives me hope even during the rough times.
I just found out that one of my high school friends is no longer with us.
He will be greatly missed by all who got the chance to know him, especially by the wife he left behind.
