Wow wasn’t planning on posting but looked and saw it has been awhile…lol… my how times flies when you are lost in the fog! I’d like to say I would do a “things lost and found” post but I’m just too foggy to think it through. We’ve had so many rainy days followed by very cold days and has left me in some of the worst pain I’ve felt in a very long time. I have gotten by with the use of only the fireplace for heat. It’s just me now and my birds and rabbit. Yes the boys are gone….. my youngest left for basic training at Fort Jackson and the teen I was fostering went back to his parent’s home. Boy, life alone and dealing with Fibro is time-consuming….. and energy draining….I’m trying to adjust to being on my own again. I haven’t been alone since getting this ill and stuck in bed most of the time. Everything takes twice as long as I thought it would and I am feeling my age…lol…haven’t been able to make it to the mail box or to the trash bin as both are about a block or so away…..in different directions too…. I’ll need to drive and that means portable O2 tanks…. so I gave in and asked for some help to take the trash to the bin and pick up the mail. I felt so bad…lol… I couldn’t remember which key to use to open the mailbox….. my friend had to make two trips just to get the right key and then told me there was a key in side my mail box and brought it back thinking I could tell him which townhouse had the #333….. but it was the key to open the large lock mailbox for packages…. so he went back for the third trip! I felt so bad about all the running around he was doing…. he even remembered the last time we talked that I said I had used the last of my shampoo and would try to make a trip to the store soon and he even brought that with him. There have been some unexpected problems I’ve run in to but with some help I have worked it out….lol….. the news paper that I have delivered on the weekend will now be put on my top doorstep and not in the middle of the driveway…..much out of reach with only my O2 tubing…..sometimes it’s the little things that throw you off balance…..which reminds me I have to be careful….. first day alone and I almost fell on my butt tripped on my O2 tubing and today hit the step stool and made to big toe and little one bleed….. hurt my foot and my pride….good thing about being alone…..no one to see me when I do something dumb! I have found that my stress level is lower now and that I tend to spend more time on the phone….. usually when caller ID shows unknown caller I don’t pick up….but now if I feel up to it I do and if it is sales person…..well I’ll yank their chain a little…. like today TV dish salesman I told him I got my cable free from the little gray aliens….talked about them for about ten minutes and when he asked how he could get hooked up with them. I told him to just give me HIS home phone number and I would have them give him a call or he could turn his porch light on and off five times wait and do it again until they come by……lol…..I don’t think he’ll be calling me back anytime soon. Took my mind off the pain for awhile…..well it’s time for this unscheduled transmission to come to an end… so be at peace, enjoy the quiet times and watch out for low flying aliens until our paths cross again……..
