Did you notice I didn’t post yesterday? Sorry about that. I posted daily without fail for over five years. Now, if I’m tired and I don’t have a guest’s post, I just won’t. Rest has been my priority. Insomnia has been a thing for the past few weeks. I can be plenty tired when I lay down, but the moment my head hits the pillow… Well, at first, it was due to painful muscles and joints. I got into the habit of sucking down a hydro at night, but it doesn’t really help with sleep. Last night, my dd gave me a melatonin gummy, and I slept for 7.5 hours!!!!! I feel sooooo good. The only other thing that happened this week was I had a blood draw, and the clinic called me a couple of hours later and told me to get to Hot Springs ASAP because my white blood count had dropped into the dumpster, and they needed me to come in for an injection to help with that. So, my poor dd had yet another appointment to take me to. Next week’s calendar is pretty full, too. Multiple appointments, my port surgery, finally. Then, the following week, I’ll be sitting in the chemo chair again. Ugh. I’m still trying to figure out the rhythm of the appointments and how they affect my body so I can try to get to a new normal.
But enough of that!
All the girls are home today, so we plan on having a lazy movie day later this afternoon. Pizza and The Proposal, I think. The 11-year-old’s first celebrity crush is Ryan Reynolds, so we thought that would be fun for her. In the meantime, I have some work I need to get out of the way. The weather has taken a sudden turn. The air is a little nippy outside. It’s almost sweater weather. That’s not nearly as good as swim weather, but we have to enjoy the change of seasons. It’s that or be grumpy throughout the Fall, and that’s not permitted!
I hope you all have a lazy, pleasant day. Solve the puzzle then tell me what you’re planning to do for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card!

It’s a rainy day here in Pa the weather is changing and Fall is upon us. I’m wanting my summer back! Movie day sounds like a great idea. My husband had surgery 2 weeks ago and I had to get him some calm gummy’s to help him sleep too. Take care and rest 😁

This weekend seems to be the one for the weather change. We were in the high 90s yesterday and muggy as H#!!. Supposed to be in the 70s by tomorrow and stay that way for at least a week or more. Heck. so far toady is not really that warm yet either. If the light overcast doesn’t go away we may by lucky to reach 80.
My younger daughter and I are going to spend the weekend alternating between gaming and packing the older daughter’s belongings. Sad to say that we had to file a restraining order against her so that her anger outbursts that saw the most recent one having her grab the edge of the dining table we were standing around and flip it. We don’t need that (or the yelling) around my 8 year old granddaughter.

The Proposal! I love that movie! Of course Sandra Bullock is a favorite of mine. And Betty White! She was adorable in this. How did I spend my day. I am binge watching Midsummer Murders, again, while knitting a pair of tip less gloves. Nothing very earth shattering, but keeps me out of trouble. Hugs and good thoughts.

Had had no ideas of plans for sure.

I admire you so much and I’m glad you’re not obsessing about posting daily. You must put yourself first so that you can beat this horrible C monster.
