That Time Again…

Filed under: Life — gardener @ 12:59 pm

This is probably one of those entries that any male who reads this blog may want to skip.   If you choose to continue to read- remember you were warned *smile*.

Several days ago, the monthly visitor arrived and I have been struggling with horrible cramps and headaches.   I’ve been taking something for the pain, because I can’t function without it, but unfortunately the medication makes me a little on the groggy side.   Today I found myself with a migraine and I’m quite certain it was a combination of many things, but as I told a friend  yesterday- I feel like I have cotton stuffed inside my head.  I’m not thrilled with all the emotional hormonal stuff related to perimenapause, but I have to say that I’ll be happy when I feel ‘normal’ again.

Tonight- the headache has eased some, but I feel as though I’ve been put through the ringer.  I also think that maybe, just maybe tomorrow will be better.  After all- it is a new day.

No Time Like the Present

Filed under: Health/ Fitness,Life — gardener @ 12:01 pm

This past weekend Marcel finally went through our term insurance papers to make sure that everything is in order. I’ve been asking him to do this for about two years now and it has seemed like he’s put it off time and time AND time again. He finally admitted to me that he doesn’t like to think about that kind of stuff, but he admitted that he should have taken care of it sooner. One thing we do need to do is get some for me, because the policy we have isn’t nearly enough. It’s a relief to me knowing that he finally took care of it. I know that’s never a pleasantry, especially considering that he lost his brother almost six years ago, but it’s one of those things that you want to make sure are taken care of long before you need them, and then pray you never do.

Doctor Doctor

Filed under: Health/ Fitness,Life,Life's Little Hiccups — gardener @ 4:13 am

I think I’ve finally decided that I’m going to have to go to the dermatologist about my skin. I’ve been having breakouts for quite some time now and it will clear up only to turn around and break out again. I’m not doing anything crazy- I’m getting enough water and not eating horribly. I’m fairly certain that it’s hormonal and I am hoping there is something that can be done about it.

The crazy thing is that I was emailing with an old high school friend the other day and she was wanting to know where to get the best anti wrinkle cream and here I am wanting to know how to keep my face from breaking out. She has perfect skin, but yet she does have a few wrinkles and yet my skin has little blemishes here and there and there isn’t a wrinkle in sight. Isn’t that odd?

Alone-

Filed under: Food for Thought,Life,Life's Little Hiccups — gardener @ 4:08 am

I have several friends who have felt very alone lately and have retreated within themselves. One in particular that I’ve known most of my life is struggling and yet I can’t reach her. I’ve offered an ear, and yet no matter how much I encourage and try to share with her the value that she has as a human being simply because she’s alive- she doesn’t see it.

I know what it’s like to feel alone. There are times when I feel that way and honestly times when I would prefer to be alone. I need the balance. I adore people and love being around them but yet sometimes I need to spend time with myself and the thoughts that dwell within.

Another great friend that I know online wrote something that I read yesterday and I couldn’t help but smile. He’s an amazing writer and he wrote about how he’s sick of so many things. He put it all out there and he also wrote that he just needs to get it out, so that he can continue to move forward. That’s what I do. I’m a sensitive soul and sometimes things really bother me. I spew it to someone and then find a way to process and accept things for what they are and move forward. I’ve learned that moving backwards serves absolutely no purpose.

I’m not sure if the friends I mentioned read this. They could, but I don’t know. What I do know is that if I could use a magic wand and take their pains and struggles away I would, but it doesn’t work that way. I can be a friend. I can offer suggestions and even be there to listen, but to regain your self worth and see your true value to yourself and to others- you’re going to have to do the legwork. Just remember- in spite of what you may think. You are never alone.

Days Like These

Filed under: Home,Life — gardener @ 4:00 am

I’m sitting here sideways on my sofa with the laptop in my lap and enjoying the peace and quiet of the day. It’s cool out- a sure sign that fall is around the corner, and I find myself craving delicious soups. I need to do some research on hgh and a few other things that I’ve been wanting to learn about, but instead, I’d rather take a walk with JJ and enjoy the solitude of the day. I love days like this.

Mood Lifters

Filed under: Life,Seasons — gardener @ 11:10 am

As I mentioned in the last entry- I happen to love the cooler temperatures of this time of the year. It’s a mood lifter for me and while some people may decide to use hgh releasers, I tend to take a walk outside in the sunshine and it is a day brightener. Last Sunday I roasted some pumpkin and it has been stored in one cup measurements and put into the freezer. I’ll use it the entire fall and winter season for baking. That, my friends, makes me smile.

Smiles, Everyone Smiles

Filed under: Life,Memories,photography — gardener @ 10:56 am

  I was extremely busy this weekend but it was one of those ‘fun’ kinds of being busy.    I spent the day in a nearby city with some great friends on Saturday and then Saturday evening the ‘party’ moved to our home and included a visit from friends from out of town.    The guys went to the movies and that left us girls to goof off and have a great time.  We didn’t have any problems doing that.

While I was walking through the city with my friend Kimmie, we came across this couple who had just gotten married and were dancing in the streets.  The crowds gathered around the happy couple and even though you can’t see it in the picture; the bride is very pregnant.    The house they are dancing in front of is their own, and several seconds after I’d taken the picture a friend came out of their home with a pair of flat shoes to replace the stilettos that I was unsure how she was walking in- much less dancing.

I couldn’t decide whether to take a picture- mostly becasue I didn’t want anyone chasing me down the street, but in the end, I did.   Seeing them so happy brought a great deal of joy to my soul and at one point my friend Kimmie asked if I was going to start crying (obviously she knows me well) .   My answer was that I may and if we had stood there much longer, I have no doubt that the tears would have started falling.

I love seeing people happy and this was a joyous day for this beautiful couple.  I hope they have a wonderful life together.

Coming Soon

Filed under: Life — gardener @ 3:45 am

I haven’t had much time to write this weekend and unfortunately today isn’t any different. I’m headed out the door again but I have lots to talk about, so expect to hear more from me either later this evening or tomorrow. I’ve started a new YouTube channel that will feature the occasional video of JJ and Mister M. and who knows what else.

More on that later, along with the link to check it out. Right now, it’s time to dash. I hear a cup of coffee calling my name at the beach. Our friends await.

Mind Rambles

Filed under: Life — gardener @ 4:15 pm

Ever have so much rambling around in your head that you can’t seem to concentrate on everything that you need to get done? Well, it has been one of those evenings for me. I should be thinking about unwinding and going to bed early tonight, but instead all I can think about is the list of things I need to get done this weekend.

Oh and I have a story to tell about popcorn, but it can wait until tomorrow.

Never Too Late for Change

Filed under: Life,Shop til ya Drop,Techy — gardener @ 12:27 pm

I love it when I log in over here and I find a list of spam waiting to be deleted. It’s amazing some of the things that people think will actually get approved in terms of comments. While it may pass in some sites, it definitely won’t here. I guess they’ll never learn.

In other news- Things have been pretty busy here in the Land of Never. I have really been off kilter for a while and my to-do list has grown to enormous proportions. I need to find some 108r00727, plus some new shoes, and work on the two domains that I have bought and haven’t done anything with yet.

I have to say that I’m tired of that scatter brained feeling I’ve had as of late and it’s time to do something about it. It’s going to mean a lot of changes in my life, but I think I’m ready. All I can say is that it’s about time. I love the fact that it’s never too late for change. That makes me smile.
