HI

What a beautiful morning! I started by having my iced tea on the front porch (no I am not a coffee drinker). Sun is up for the first time in days. We have had flooding rains all around us for days. (photos at end of post).
I've really missed blogging, but my blog has never been what I wanted it to be, and I feel like all I did was complain, but I had no one else to complain to. Anyway, it took me a while to decide that just doesn't matter. I still stalked your pages, lol.
Health update- They discovered I have Type 2 Diabetes. It was great that they found it, as I am now actually losing weight (slowly but it will happen), and I feel much better with the new meds. Also learning how to eat a whole new way is actually a challenge and a bit fun. A lot has changed. I have decided to live my life, fat or not. For too many years I sat and waited to be thin (expecting a miracle I guess) without actually living. Well, I am now doing things more and getting out a lot more.
Hubby is off today, yay! Running errands, going to the grocery, and then getting my greyish hair colored. I always feel better without the grey. When we get home though, it becomes laundry day. Fun stuff! lol
See ya tomorrow.

 

 

I'm coming back!

What better why to start the week than with a smile.

Happy Sunday!

It is such an amazingly beautiful day outside. I wish you were all here. We could sit outside and chat about anything and everything, and have a great time. Then we would BarBQ, and for those that wanted to stay, we could watch the Academy Awards tonight.  Ah, a great day!

Come on, you know you want to!!

Two Shoes Tuesday

Josie of Two Shoes in Texas does a weekly meme called Two Shoes Tuesday.

Here's her simple rules:

There will be TWO word prompts each week... you can use whichever one inspires you! You are not required to include them both. You do not have to include the word in your post, but please use it as your theme. You are welcome to write a post for each prompt word, if you like. Posts unrelated to either word prompt will be deleted from the Mr. Linky list. The two word prompts this week are Change and/or Season.

Hubby and I have had so much change in the past few years that it scares me, wondering what's next. We started in southern CA where we both had good jobs making fairly good money. We had a great life. Then his job transferred us first to Vegas, then Phoenix, then Tucson, and back to Phoenix all within a 5 year period. Crazy!
Next stop was Atlanta to be near one of the kids. I no longer worked, was told I was in stage 4 liver disease and had 2 months or less to live. Had a transplant with lifelong complications. Hubby had an ok job. $10 an hour would not have worked in CA but is good for Atlanta. That job transferred us here- to a tiny town in Arkansas. Right after we moved here- they closed. We had no money to move back and there is no place to work here unless you farm. Hubby was a white collar worker, not a farmer. The government pays me a tiny salary and hubby now works as a cashier at the local store making a quarter above minimum wage. We don't live, we exist.

I am not complaining, we are happy. But change- Please no more change for us unless it's for the better. Neither of us can take much more change.

me in the middle. Phoenix was a happy time.

Feline Friday #53

 

Feline Friday is easy to do. All you have to do is post a picture of a cat on your website. It could be a photo of your pet cat, a LOL cat or a drawn picture.

Then go on over to Comedy Plus and add your link!

Ouchie!!

Been non blogging all week due to a painful back, but I feel better and am going to the doctor on Thursday. Do you ever feel like you've lost a week? That is how I feel. It's just gone, and I spent most of it doing nothing, which sucks.

Tuesday

 

 

 

After the rain - the spots on the picture are drops of rain falling off the roof.
