TOE MUCH INFORMATION

My toe was not better by Monday. I have been to the healthcare clinic 3x this past week, and have yet another appointment on Monday next. The salt baths and sore salve didn’t help but at least it didn’t get worse, but it was still really painful by Sunday evening. I left a chat message asking for an appointment, and lo and behold the next morning I had a message from them with an appointment time at 11:45 AM. I saw Nurse Annika and she couldn’t do much because the toe was so painful, she couldn’t really investigate, so she...

BIRTHDAZE

It was my birthday yesterday. 62. What a weird number to be. I had a busy day planned so I got up fairly early. Anders is working from home this week, and he had roses and presents waiting for me. A poster of 100 Swedish sights to see that you can stamp off once you have seen them or been there. And 2 gorgeous hanging bird baths. I had asked for one, and he found 2 really nice ceramic ones…one in deep teal and one in off-white. The only problem is that they only have a center hole with a...

THE KEY TO PRODUCTIVITY IS TO ROTATE YOUR AVOIDANCE TECHNIQUES*

It’s only Thursday of my first week of vacation, and I’m already more halfway through my clean/sort/purge list. I’ve done the our bedroom (my stuff at least), study, living room, bathrooms, playroom hallway, dining room, front hall closet, and today I went through all the drawers in the kitchen, and cleaned out the pantry. I still have some of the kitchen cabinets to look through, so I’m not counting the kitchen as done yet. It’s very satisfying: purging. Even when there’s not that much to purge. But the pantry got a MAJOR cleanout, which was way overdue. It’s been a...

STAYCATION STARTER

I went early this morning to have blood taken for tests, in conjunction with my next dose of Zessly on Thursday. It was the first medical appointment that I’ve had since my last dose on June 25. I’ve been so used to dealing with medical issues, that this long in-between stretch caught me by surprise. Hoping it continues this way with big long gaps of nothing happening medically with my body. It’s the first day of a 2-week vacation if you don’t count the weekend. I’m taking it pretty easy today (after having to set that early morning alarm on...

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY

Rabbit rabbit! It’s the first of August and 9 days from my birthday, which isn’t a big one, even if the number is bigger than I’d like it to be. I’m on vacation now, for 2 weeks, and although I don’t have any travel, I have a very long list of things to do: mostly involving cleaning out and purging in every cabinet, closet, drawer, and shelf in the house. But there are fun things lined up too. I have a massage scheduled, and we are all going (all 4 of us, plus Theo and Essie) to see The Odyssey...
