Hello, everyone!! It's Sunday, the first day of the week! Any plans for the rest of the day?
Kam is having a so-so day and thinking about being out in the forest soon. She says she needs a new hairstyle. Suggestions?
We had a nice church service today and it was the first time the choir sang for the new season. We take a break in the summer. We even have a new choir member! Cool! Would love to have more!
We will be going to my husband's gig this afternoon. I think I'm going to take a bit of a nap real quick. See you guys later!

so far...only able to do a few dishes. Looking forward to driving out to the forest nearby and just being there.
I'd like to get quarters for the laundry and do some laundry and pack food for camping but so far health isn't doing well enough to do that.
I'd also like to get a tarp to cover the power chair from the rain while camping.
But, just cooking a turkey patty hsan't worke dyet today.
I'd also like to get some groceries.

Able to get Rosie out this am in the rain for toileting via the power chair.
Then, headed towards grocery store. I couldn't find my poncho, forgot to get at least two of the things I went to that grocery store to get because I thought they would be less expensive.
So, need to go back when able.
Forgot debit card but was able to write a check when I got to the checker which is rare. I usually can't write long hand now.
Forgot ear protection muffs to wear in store but did have some hearo ear plugs that helped.
Brain is being weird now. RAin this am. Canal is flowing. Good to see the rain.
Able to get $5,00 worth of quarters from the cashier so I can do some laundry maybe thsi am if health allows.
Need to veg first.
Havne't put groceris away. I just put them in the frig in thei bags for now..
didn't do a very good job of shopping...need to go back and get food. Looked for patio chair covers to protect my power chair which means I had to go from one end of the store in the elec cart to the other end.
All they had in stock were table covers...brain wasn't working well enough to figure out if that would work.
I thnk I actually need to bring in my power chair and take the covers out of the bags to see which one might work.
Then there is the factor of tying it down...do i get a actually power chair cover that has tie downs for the lift
or do I wrap bungee cords around the power chair cover..most likely both.
Cost is a factor too..still trying to figure out what things cost.

Did a little channel surfing this am. SAw on the bottom of the screen that the governor has declared a state of emergency.
Mind boggling to me as here we just got a little more rain than usual and it is has stopped now.
They were talking about all the areas down the hill that had been closed off due to flooding.
Rain is different here. The water just runs right off the desert and floods things or creates flash floods.
AZ is a dry state most of the year.

i havent wanted to eat and the last two weeks have been really hot and i did the yard sale and i lost about 13 lbs...
i forgot about my low blood sugar cuz the main sx was breathing problem...but today after i ate and egg i did start to feel a little better
the cold sweat went away and i have done a few little chores while sitting and i am still ok
doc will check me out wed if i dont go to er before that...i started reading a chf support site and it is really scarey
endocondritis is a concern cuz of my artificial knees i guess
anyway...hoping no more drama tonight...the guys worked most of the day but all the parts didnt come in so they have to come back in a few more days...no rain! thats good

Kayak.. That's scary! Hope your heart is OK. Do continue to eat. Your body has to have fuel.
I hope you get some food in you today, kam! Good job on your outing today!
The gig went great last night. Many good compliments. He's hitting his stride now and getting more confident. That helps.
Wish he didn't have to carry so much gear though and I can't help at all.
We went to the big showboat this morning for breakfast. It was a gathering of those who tutor or volunteer in the schools with a Christian foundation. I may join in! The stories we heard were really awesome.
We were entertained by a magician. He was real funny and cool. Went with our pastor, my husband and my friend who teaches the Sunday School with me.
Our pastor is coming over tonight to bless our new place. It needs it.
PS .. I got tons of exercise today just walking on and off the boat. You have to walk a long way to get to it. Hope I survive.

LP--my energy healer detected worms in my lungs. I took mebendazole for 7 days and feel a lot better.
Still removing toxins, though. I see the healer on Friday and will see if the worms are all gone.
I will pray that your problems were just the low blood sugar as that is an easy fix.
Tutu--When I am well enough to travel maybe I can come listen to one of your husband's gigs.

Ty hiker-i just realized its a supermoon so good chance it could be lung worms
I came back cuz i just had the craziest hour!
I was well enough to take neighbor to do errand around 3
Before that the roofers said they had some time and if i got the sub floor they would put it down in about a week
So i drove to homedepot-found a shoppingcart to lean on in ththeparrking lot and walked into the store. I sat near the desk while someonegot the flooring...i think i figured last time it
weighed about 200# they loaded it on truck
After the errand i slowly started to unload it-using the hand truck and resting a lot in between
During one of the rests a couple came to the door...it was a man who bought a 200. Thule roof rack at the yard sale for a dollr. They said they felt guilty and brought me 20 $
While that was going on the lady saw a cat on my roof! I thougt it had gotten there when the roofers were up there...but it turned out it climbed to the top of the truck and jumped on the roof
So while the lady is getting the cat...the man asks if he can unload the truck for me...i pick up 2 pcs at a time,,,he picked up 8 or 10!
It would have taken me hours...cuz every 6-8 boards i need a 20 min rest...he did it all in ten min. Wow...now im just sitting here with nothing to do...not a bad ending to a day the doc told me to go to the er...huh? I still feel ok. No energy but no cild sweat either

I have no idea how you get lungworms. I do know that ticks can carry microscopic worms and my energy healer said I had some in the blood and some in my lungs last time I went several weeks ago.
In July she said I had microscopic worms in the lungs and macroscopic worms in the digestive area, but the digestive ones were gone in midAugust. Never saw them, though.
LP--great that you got some help. My teen lawnmower mowed today and a kind retiree from the church trimmed all my bushes.

I'll be back to read what you all posted when able.
I did go grocery shopping again last night. It was very stressful on the health and it was a short trip.
Head inflamation this am. Hoping exceedrin helps.
Also able to talk to the guy who is managing the new small mobility store in town.
He was locking up as I drove up. I asked him about a cover for my power chair. He said he had some but they were $125.00.
He then said to protect the electronics to put a plastic bag over them which I have been doing when out in the rain with Rosie.
But, that wouldn't stop the chair itself from getting wet. I tried putting a tarp over it last time and it still got soaked so put the trash bag over the cushions ont he back and and seat to keep me from getting wet while using the chair.
MIght do that again or maybe this time put the trash bags on before the rains come down while I am camping instead of the tarp and see if that helps.
WAnted to go camping this am. Not sure if it is going to work out or not. Not doing well enough to pack the food yet.
I was going to have the caregiver help me set up the tent when she comes this am.
But, that isn't looking do able. Main thing is to do what helps to get this brain ifnlamtion down.

I woke up with no pain! How wierd...i did sleep well...but ended up doing a lot yesterday to have no pain today
Im having bad allergy sx but the pill should fix that
Tutu...you know taking the reflux drugs makes us more susceptable to worms right? It lowers acid and one of the acids jobs is to kill stuff like worms on its way in
I'll be back later after ive actually done some exercise. Trash and vacume are on the agenda

Able to get up and do something but not sure what now. I know I put a few things away in the kitchen and put a trash can liner in trash can.
I guess that was it. Hoping to take a shower this am.
Caregiver is here for an hour this am. I am really not fit to be around anyone...no patience and mad at all things except Rosie.
But, i know it is because I am not doing well so will hibernate.

I did some stuff...dishes,vacume,trash,moved plants so i could ozone...fixedone ac ...it works but smells moldy
Then took etta to vet...we were there 90 minutes-vet thinks she has back pain...probably nerve...and when she gets it she is scared and thats why it seems she has palpitations and runs to me. He is sure her heart is good. He sys she can go th o daycare. He wants me to keep a diary of when she does it and to write down her heart rate and how long it takes to get to normal
Im glad its not her heart...i was afraid i have given her too much cheese...she dors love her cheese...and expects it everytime shes good
After the vet i decided to take the new tryck to the beach...the farthest i have gine in it...about 30 min. When i got there the truck smelled like an elec fire. I dont know what it was...i came home cuz i was worried it would break down. I dont have AAA yet
Really bad allergies again...kinda bummed about the truck
Supposed to be cool tomorrow...i hope i can make progress organizing carport, garage and shed. My neighbors must hate me...messiest house on the block

Able to fill the sink full of dirty dishes and hot sudsy water.
also dumped the 3 small trash cans into the large trash can and put bag outside my door in the hallway...a neighbor comes by and takes it out to to the dumpster for me.
I had the task on the list for the caregiver but she has yet to get that task done for some reason.
She did run out of time last time and wasn't able to vacuum either.
She is here for an hour only.
Hoping to be able to pack what is needed for camping and head off to the campground this am.
Resting now then I'll try and wash the dishes, rest, then pack the food and clothing bag.
I also was able to kind of make my bed this am.
It is rare the body is moving well enough to do that.
Also able to finally get that sticky spot washed on the table near my bed.

Sorry I have missed so much.- I have been so crazy with getting ready for the art/craft show THIS WEEKEND!!!
painting, pasting, coating.... I am running on fumes! I am so excited and I hope I get it all done.
I have been feeling really great (comparatively) lately. so I have been using all my energy and staying up late to work on all this stuff. getting about 5 hours of sleep a night. I also have gotten some chores in around here which I hate.
Hiker, I agree- bald is where it's at!
I hope you are all doing well!

Brain really had trouble focusing or staying on track. So changed my mind about going camping or at least packign the food for camping and instead made a to do list of other things that I haven't been able to accomplish for a long time.
Tried to accomplish one thing on line and brain wasnt' able to do it...it was in regards to getting medicaid along with medicare.
I'll have to try that again later.
That did me in. Body started shaking on the inside..not sure if it was fear because brain is so low functioning when I try to read and process things or it was due to cold.
Made breakfast. Put coast on over PJ's. Got in warm car.
DRove Rosie out to forest area. She just did her business and then wanted back in car. She is having a little bit of trouble jumping in the car now...for now..we are OK..but i'll be looking for those ramps to help dogs get in and out of a car at the thrift shop when i am able.
DRove over to the doctor's office that the chiro suggested. Got the apper work I need to fill out. Going to this office with an attitude. But, I'll try and brush the chip off of my shoulder before I see the doc.
Right now, I am thinking it si the receptionisht taht is the issue.
I have left a few phone calls in the past and my caregier has called them also to make an appt.
It took me finally going in person. Then, I was given paper work to fill out first then they will make the appt. Which is OK>
The receptionist looks like an old caregiver I had that didn't work out.
And my new caregiver and myself have made several calls to the office...getting road blocks. Guessing it is the receptionist job to handle those calls.
Bottom line. I plan on keeping a list of actions now just in case things get stoned walled again ...then giving it to the doc to let her know...hopefully things willl go ok now.
I warmed up but still have the shakes inside so it is most likey from over doing it. I'll be OK once I veg.
I feel like I did a lot this am but not really..a lot for mye though.
Frustrating.
Other things I wanted to do were/are to get the correct name on my medicare card.
Get the on line pharmacy set up..I keep running into walls there too.
SEe if the local pharmacy got the syringes in for the B shots..I should have asked them to call me on that one.
Got stoned walled on that too.
frustrating when the brain and body only work for shrot periods of time and then go long times without working.
I'll be back to read what you all have been up to. I have /am typing this with myt eyes closed.

Able to put some drinks in the drink cooler. Taht did me in. Back down now.
Also able to put some dry goods in the basket.
And I was able to kind of make my bed this am.
Trying to figure this camping thing out. I guess I wil continue to do a little at a time and then maybe set up tent tonight with help.
Might talk to the maintenance man to see if he will help set up the tent. He did once before after he got off work here.
Need to kind of figure out where to leave him a note. I think he has an office down stairs now.maybe on that door.

Able to check my clothing bag and I think that looks goood for camping.
Able to get the camping plates out but not in the car yet and silverware.
Maintenance guy usually leaves around 4 pm which it is now 3:30 pm. I haven't talked to him yet but don't think heatlh is doing well enough yet to set things up.
Next step is to get dressed and take Rosie out for her mid day toileting.
I have the hibby jibbies about camping right now...the goal is to get out of the apartment and into the quiet and under th epine trees.
Guessing hibie jibbies might be because health is not strong enough right now ...i have flet like thsi before and then an hour or so lter be fine..usually fine at dawn and dusk..that is when I can usually function.
The last trip aslo wasn't a god one but I had company with me..I don't pay attention the the body and health and try and over do things when others are around.
Better to be by myself so I listen to health.
Temperature wise I think it will be OK. I am goign to check the weather report again.
Othe factor is it takes me a few days before I am strong enough to pack up and come home..so if I go tonight I might need to be there on the weekend too..which might be ok or not..depends on the weekend crowd.
I still haven't found Rosie's other leash. I hook the two together and put a close line to give her some walking room ..so she can go outside the tent or inside the tent on her own...or watch me as i go across the campsite to the toilets via the power chair.
Ice chest that i put the refrigerated stuff needs to be packed still.
It will take me an hour or two to recover from putting things in the car.
Then I can driv eout to the campsite. Most things are all ready in the car..just need to put clothign bag and ice chest and camping paltes and bowls and silverware and propane bottles and stove and pillows and ? in the car.
It all seems to much righ tnow.
But, from past experience there will coem a time when the body is doing fine and it will not b ea rpoblem to get these thigns in the car.

Well it was really cool so i spent about 3 hrs in wc reorganizing carport and sparating stuff for yard sale and stuff to go thru and decide whst to do with
I found the baseboard for the office so i need to clean it so it is ready for when the guy does the exercise room floor
Then i went to doc...he doesnt think it is my heart. He gave me rescue inhaler. Unless something has changed i will take one puff and then never again
He thinks its anemia or thyroid and im due for lipid testing so im fasting and doing blood test in the morning
Tomorrow is gonna be hot,humid and then storms. Not sure if i'llfinish carport or stay in and clean and do bills
I think starting sunday it will be really cool and dry and i should be able to get a lot done then
It was 39 in the mountains...all i need is one 32 to kill the stupid ragweed and my life will be better
Oh!i slept in my bed last night for the first time in months! Used a blanket for the first time too
Kinda miss ak....hope shes ok
Take care everyone

Hope your blood testing will give some clues on what is wrong, Kayak. The rescue inhaler is just that... for rescues!
It's going to be cooler here tomorrow...finally! It was extremely humid and at least 95 degrees today. Storms tonight, I think.
I went to a Christian Women's luncheon today. Haven't been to it in more than 10 yrs probably! It was nice. Sat with some ladies I didn't know and enjoyed talking to them.
I'll probably go again next month. There will be a speaker from South Texas. I'm curious to know which city she is from!
I missed the one last month. They had a survivor of the Holocaust there. I intended to go, but got mixed up on my days. ERG.
Tomorrow I'm going to a show with a friend of mine. I know it's going to be GREAT! Going to see Billy Dean and he's got a great local comedian on his show. Can't wait to hear him again (the comedian). He's really really funny!
I have never seen Billy Dean. That will be a treat!

really weak this am. just getting up to go to the toilet does me in. Wtg a few minutes then I'll get up and take a couple of excedrin to see if that helps.
I wasn't able to set up camp last night. Considering havng the caregiver help me set it up thsi am but as I am typing this I forgot she doesnt' come today she comes tomorrow...so that might work out better.
I did not want to camp with the weekend crowd but it might not be so bad at this time of the year...we'll see.
next step is to get up and take rosie out to toilet either by driving out to the forest area or getting in the power chair ..depends on how health is doing.

Cold out this am. REminded me I need to do something about the cold nights while camping.
I am guessing a better sleeping bag would be the key for both Rosie and I.
I saw some at Walmart that said they went to minus 30 below and were only about $30 which doens't make sense to me from my days in the backpacking relm.
The sleeping bag i have i got at a yard sale. it is a northface down bag. the owner said he coulnd't use it as he slept too hot.
i have used it while out camping and was fine except for the cold nights...so a bit confused.
but do know the bag did not keep me warm and i also was concerned about Rosie.
I put blankets over her but she would take them off. I tried the propane heater but it worked too well...too hot and then too hot when i turned it off.
they do have a smaller propane heater I can get. Or at least they did at one time.
just thinking via the keyboard.

Happy Birthday to me--LOL. One year older and none the wiser.
Cool here--only in the upper 50's. Too early to be this cool. I like 70's.
Kam--hope you find the right sleeping bag.
Tutu--enjoy the show.
I am not exercising much. Still very toxic and 10 hour work days are killing me.

Then put up with bs in docs office. Getting handicap sticker form done a third time. First he fillrd it out wrong so it was sent back to me...then dmv lost it and i had to start over
This time i drove to dmv instead of mailing it and it took hours..got lost more than once. Ended up going away from homeinstead of towards home on highwy after
But i got it and she gave me a second one free so that is helpful
I returned something to walmrt and that went well when it usyally doesnt so hope my luck is changing
I got many fed ex packages...step ups for new truck ,supps from swanson and lots og goodies to help me organize kitchen

as we share life, birthdays - camping -
the little things we use to take for granite..
getting dress, doing hair,
remembering why we walked into the kitchen, turning off the stove,
laundry, daily cleaning, supplies, just what day it is..
just filling out a form, or smiling at those whom know nothing of OUR STRENGHTS..
I will continue in building faith only because of all of YOU.
Cheers to My Friends, Ones close - ones far, ones gone ones going..
I would share my last cookie with each one of you.. ♥

Anyone heard from AK? I've been thinking about her.
I had a good birthday today. A lot of my students from last year stepped in to my room to wish me a happy day and two 8th grade girls led my current 7th grade class in a round of singing for me.
Came home and had a quiet evening reading. No big celebration, but I received some cards and phone calls from friends and my brother that made my day.
Payne--I think I have conquered my parasitic worms with using an online pharmacy--no prescription. Very inexpensive, too. If you know what you need to take that might be an option--just be careful. PM me if you want more info.
Ii truly believe that treating parasites may be the most important part of treating Lyme and company.
Blessings. <><

Kam.. Hang in there, sweetheart! Friday is coming! Hope you get to go camping soon!
Hiker .. I can just imagine how tired you must be. I do remember the incessant fatigue while teaching. Hope you feel better soon.
kayak.. Fed Ex sounds like FUN!
payne.. I think your idea of treating yeast is a good one. Maybe your heart Dr can change your blood thinner? I bet it is the cause of your stomach pain. I've found several meds that do that to me. (pain killers do it, for sure)
I am now officially in love with Billy Dean. Yep. Now payne.. you may NOT tell my husband, OK? It's a secret of mine!
HA! Enjoyed the show very much and got my picture taken with Mr Dean. (swoon)

My exercise lately seems to be the dreams I have at night.
Last night I was part of the wedding celebration and a friend of Lady Diana.
In my dream it had been so long since I had dressed up I had forgotten how to do hair and make up and what to where..nor did I have anything.
I had this big sloppy christmas like sweater on with velvet like pants that were the wrong color to go with the sweater.
At first the dream was going back and forth to the big room where my pants were at a person who kind of looked like Lady Diana but in this years version.
Finding key's seemed to be a big part of the exercise and stress in the dream.
Pastels were the color so it must have been a spring wedding.
I woke up before I finally had something on that was presentable.
I kept flashing back to how i use to dress before lyme and company. In my dream I could walk also.
And there were children from the bride's classroom and I enjoyed being around them too...not like since lyme and company where I no longer enjjoy being around children.
Hiker: Happy Birthday.
Payne: I like your post. I couldn't find my sea sal the other day. I put it in the lemond drink I make.
Finally found it in the fridge...not where I usually keep salt.
ALW...Hugs.
