28 november, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    Thanksgiving is finally completely over.  I had the last leftovers for supper.  Soooo good.  Wish I had more!!  Only problem there was not enough carbs for me.  Wish there had been more potatoes in there.  They were so good.

    The black cat is back.  He sat & peaked around the corner of the house waiting for me to go in so he could eat.  I waited until Cinder had her wet food.  I had some dry food out for him.  He is quite pretty.

    I felt ok today.  Stupid itching was the worst.  But a front moves in tomorrow so I might hurt some, but it is moving so fast maybe not.

    Weather was chilly but ok.  Sat outside a bit with Nico & Cinder.  They had time to snuggle a bit.  Probably won't happen tomorrow.  Last night was in the 30s & 50s today.  But tomorrow temps will be falling after lunch.  And a slight chance of snow.  I expect to see none.

    I mostly took it easy today.  Have a busy week coming up.  All good things though.  One day at the SVAFA.  I love it there.

    Photos today are wintry & Christmassy.  I like Christmas photos especially since there is no Christmas here to celebrate.  I miss those days.  I used to have a large star on the front of my house.  (My son always hung it for us.  Until the last time I asked him when he had time to hang it.  He rudely told me that he now had his own home & his own family to take care of & I could just find someone else.  End of my star.  I can assure you if Mom had asked for a star on her house I would have found a way to make it happen.  I think he hated me long before I realised it.)  I think the Santa is a relative of mine.  His sister made his robe.  Not sure who is Santa now.

                    

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 246....

 Nice weather day. No wind. Warm but not hot. 

I think I am understanding my RA better. A minimal pain in one hip I can understand. My spine curves. But severe pain in both hips is different. I now know I have been having a big flare up of RA. Last weekend the major pain stopped. Just like that. Just as it started. Hope it lasts. I found a nurse that sells  essential oils in mixtures for different things. I am using hers for bursitis. People with RA get that often in their hips. Maybe it is helping.

When I was diagnosed with RA and with diabetes, no one sat me down and gave me a clue of what to expect, what can happen. Being a nurse, I knew a lot about diabetes, but nothing about RA. Joined a group. It is a god send.

Christmas lights in town are up early. I like to look at them. Wish I had lights out here.  We had a large star on our house and our son always hung it. Several years ago I asked him to hang it again and he looked at me and said "No. I have my own family and my own home. Find someone else to hang it". I quickly knew he would never be of help to me. I can promise you if my mom asked for a star on her house, I would have made sure she got one. And I would have never ever hurt her like he did me. No lights here. And no decorations in the house. The fur kids would destroy them!! I had a tree in my bedroom. For a while Kisse ignored it. But. That did not last. It is long gone!! Dang. It was nice to go to bed with the soft lights on. Should hang some up high.

JR and I ate out tonight. He was going to help me carry trash out. But I was just too tired. Pain is gone but the RA fatigue is worse. But sleeping better.

Photos are taken tonight. I had others but will save for another day.

Sorry for all my whining about my health. At least here when someone or all of you roll your eyes, I do not have to see it. Just ignore and go to the photos directly. I will try to be quiet more often.
