If you would of ask me...if I would be able to get through the weekend [without going totally bonkers], I would have hesitated with my reply...alot.  Between the mega Fibro-Flare and my platelets taking a nose dive...I was in bed most of the weekend...under the electric blanket, crying, praying, hurting and so exhausted from it all. Hubby feels helpless when those days hit...and so do I.   When it gets to that point...fighting it just doesn't work anymore, so I've learned to give into to it and say "ok..now what?"  Praise the Lord the worst of it has past and I'm feeling much better today, still some ouchies [which is normal for me]...but nothing compared to the weekend. 

My mother in law was rushed back to the hospital Sat. evening.  [When it rains it pours.]  She collapsed, thankfully while her daughter was there.  She just can't seem to get any of her strength back.  So far they have given her blood, and are suppose to run more tests.  Hubby went over to check on her yesterday afternoon.  As much I wanted to go...the last thing I needed was to get cold, so I stayed home...did my nails, watched TV and just rested.] 

I see my doctor in the morning and then in the afternoon Madison [our fur-baby] has her appt. with the vet. [It's time for her yearly booster shots and she's got an infection in her eye...which could be allergies [we hope]...but with her being diabetic and on insulin injections [2 each day], for the past 2 years, we worry that she'll lose her sight.]  Fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

Maybe when all these appt's. are finally out of the way, and things slow down a bit, I'll be able to get back to my fall cleaning.  I have the kitchen totally finished but only bits and pieces done in the other rooms.  BUT...our winter clothes [closets and drawers] are completely sorted and the summer things are put away. It broke my heart to do that...I am so NOT looking forward to the brutal cold. [How much longer til spring??]

Oh, I just found out that our school reunion is scheduled for next year.  Oh my gosh...has it really been that long?  I don't know any of the details yet...one of my fellow classmates [who I've not seen or talked to in years]...called my mother on Friday - to have her pass their number on to me.  [I think we might go...but I've not seen 99% of my class..in 30 years....yep...3 decades!]  OYYY...I'm feeling kind of old at the moment.  [Just as soon as I work up the nerve...I'll call and find out more.]

Hugs & Blessings...T
