I'm so sorry to have been lost for a while. I've been super, super busy! Our new co-op is up and running. We opened our doors to the public yesterday. My pottery is selling! Gotta make more VERY soon! My grandkids are busy with activities and programs at school. One of the little boys in my DGD#2's class had a house fire…

Good morning everyone. I slept a little better last night, after taking benedryl. I read recently that long term benedryl use has been linked to dementia, but last night I was willing to trade a few brain cells for some sleep. I've been using it for years, so I suppose the damage has been done already anyway. Still woke up…

Good morning everyone! I've been awake since 2am and finally got out of bed about 3:45. My back and hips hurt so bad I can't sleep, so rather than tossing and turning and disturbing hubby, I just got up. I took some tylenol, but it really doesn't help. I love the Oklahoma siren picture. Trying to figure out how to change…

I'm sitting at my desk with a bag of frozen peas behind me. This morning I called a chiropractor's office and asked if I could get in. Surprise, I could. So, they told me to save 20 minutes I should go to their web site and complete the new patient paperwork. FOURTEEN pages of nonsense (and about 40 minutes), before it got…

Good morning everyone! Once again, I am so far behind on posts I can not hope to catch up. I had a pretty bad weekend, physically. Overdid it on Friday at the gallery and suffered for it. Hips, knees, back, muscle cramps, headache, dizziness, nausea, you name it. Last night I didn't even feel up to walking the dogs so…

Good morning everyone. It's been a couple of days since I checked in and 50 pages have rolled by. I've been very busy lately. Thursday I went to a ceramics demonstration/workshop in Joplin all day. Yesterday I spent the entire day getting the new gallery ready to open. Last night was Art Walk and it was the first time we…

Good morning everyone! I drove the kids to school this morning. It was so great! I'm FREE! I also drove to Home Depot and Big Lots to pick up some stuff I need for the studio. Now, I'm sitting in my studio. It feels like I had a little break and now am ready to get back to work. The only lingering problem is a little…

I got it! These are turnip plants they planted as ground cover.

Hello everyone. It's a beautiful day here. We spent the night at the lake last night. I'm sorry I have not posted the last few days. I'm sorry I made you worry. Things have been great. Getting better every day. Yesterday a friend came over and fixed my kiln while other friends moved my display furniture from my studio to…

Good morning everyone. It's a glorious morning here in the middle of nowhere. Sun shining, clear skies and it's supposed to be warm today. AAAH, springtime! This morning I did nearly 30 minutes on the treadmill, going 2mph. So, you can see how much better I'm doing. Not dragging the foot at all! Still a little weak, but…

CJ, I love the Moche stuff too. Studied it in college.

Good afternoon everyone. I'm making good progress and am at 80%, according to the nurse at PT. I think she doesn't know that I was never really 100% anyway. :D I'm typing with two hands right now. Slowly, that's true, and I have to back up a lot to fix mistakes, but still. I'm using both hands! I'm still on a soft food…

Good morning. Yesterday was not the best day I've ever had, but apparently I survived it. Will try to write more tomorrow. This is hard. sylvia

Sorry to be so bad about posting. The stitches (really staples) came out this morning. It was easier than I thought it would be. More PT today. I can now squeeze a foam rubber ball pretty well with right hand, and have more fine motor skills. Can pick up a dime with two fingers. Right leg still not cooperating too well,…

Hello again. I'm feeling a lot better today. PT was good. They signed me up for 6 weeks but I honestly don't think it will take that long. I'm starting back on soft foods today and so far so good. Saw the kids last night. They said they missed me. Bye. Sylvia

Penny, I lost another foot of small intestines. Not laproscopic this time. Some funny business with the anesthetic I think. Takes forever to type. Hubby reads me your posts. It's a little hard to focus, but getting better pretty quickly, I think. good night.

Hello again. Just popping in to say hello. Things are looking up a little. I'm using my RIGHT finger. Baby steps. Start PT tomorrow. My belly stitches come out on Thursday. Can't drive, poop, or think. Later. Sylvia

Sorry I've missed a few days. Was in the hospital again for blocked colon, then some other stuff happened. Very small stroke. I lost a couple of whole days somewhere. Home now but still very tired and sore. Some limited movement on right side, but they think it will come back. Hard to hunt and peck with left finger. Take…

Long day. Good night.

Hello everyone. I've missed a couple of days. Just really busy. The kids came over for dinner yesterday and I still havent gotten the mess cleaned up. This evening hubby and I went to a house in town and bought some shelving units I thought would be nice in the new co-op gallery. They turned out to be very nice, and really…

Hi there, everyone! It started out chilly this morning but got so nice outside that we took the dogs out to the nature park to walk tonight. At the studio today I finally got my compressor all hooked up, all the fittings properly installed, and did the break-in procedure. At one point i noticed that I didnt have one of the…

Hello everyone. Shopping with DGD#1 was an utter delight today. She had a blast, but I think I enjoyed it even more. She picked out Sketcher's shoes at Kohl's, where they let me use my 30% off coupon even though it expired yesterday.( I'm never sure what day it is.). Then, she picked out two pairs of summer shorts at…

Marcelyn, I used to spray outside before I built my spray booth. It was fine except for the wind that would swirl around and blow the overspray right back in my face. I built the spray booth with a big fan motor that pulls the overspray to the back and outside through a big vent. It works pretty well. Has a light inside…

Good evening everyone. Its been a long day. I had a cleaning team (mother and daughter) meet me at my son's this afternoon and give me a price for cleaning. They are going to do a deep cleaning for $60 next Tuesday, then weekly cleaning for $45 after that. He was reluctant, but agreed. I think he is going to feel a huge…

MARY!! Don't look now, but some big dog has swallowed your sweet little puppy with the floppy ears!

Good morning! I hope you are all having a wonderful morning. I took the kids to school this morning. It's nice to get back into our morning routine. Then I ran several errands for my son. Got his oxygen tanks filled, then he wanted me to go pay his cable bill and put some money in his bank account but when I went to the…

Got another ugly email from the wicked stepmother. It has escalated into threats of violence to both my son and to me. Why she is dragging me into this, I can't figure out. I'm going to take them to the police station tomorrow and see what they suggest. I'd love to see her sorry butt thrown in jail. Also, I have to go get…

Joyce, he has already changed his phone number, and she doesnt have a key to his apartment. He changed the passwords on his bank account, along with other accounts, and almost immediately got about 50 notifications from his bank saying someone had tried to access his account. He doesn't have much in there, but who knows…

Hello everyone. It got really chilly here for the last two days. We've been spoiled lately with temps in the upper 60's and 70's, so we were surprised yesterday when driving to Kansas City and drove several miles in blowing SNOW. Today the high was 40, so it was a little better, but still, where did springtime go? I had to…
