Well, to date I was able to donate $131.50 (I think) to the group that I was helping. There's still 3 people who haven't picked up/paid for their items...but overall it was a success. Planning on hosting another auction towards the end of August, beginning of September.
I'm not quite ready to say that the fissures are healed but they seem to be much improved. I'm not getting any pain from them. But still dealing with lots of itchiness and bleeding. Might have to bug my doctor again but will see what my naturopathic doctor has to say. I did discontinue one of the antibiotic ointments a few days ago on a trial basis. I've been on it since October so if I can get a break I'm going for it...besides, I often found it made the itchiness worse. The remaining ointment does have a weaker antibiotic in it so along with steroid and whatever else is in it. Gosh, can't wait to be able to stop using that too. The yeast is still an issue but minor issue. I'm still treating that. It has shifted location so I want to stay on top of it until it's gone for good. Trying to keep sugar to a minimum as well, though it's hard.
My energy level, simply put, is almost non-existent. I'm having to be really aware of what I'm wanting to do and plan my days around it. Weekends are the hardest. I quite often have something going on Saturdays and I've started going to church on Sundays so I usually have to fight through Sunday to the best of my ability knowing that Monday will be a write off. I'm actually surprised, I've managed to get a couple loads of dishes done today and hope to get the rest done tonight.
I'm enjoying my new church. I've made it 3 weeks so far. Plus last night I was invited to a camp service so went to that as well. Good times. I'm meeting a few new people which is nice too. I definitely need to meet people who are close in age with the same beliefs.
Ebby and I are planning our semi-annual mini vacation out to my parents house for a few weeks. Leaving later this week. Planning to try to get some items together for the next auction and help out mom and dad with things around the house as much as I'm able. Also, plan to just enjoy the cooler space as they now have air conditioning. It'll be good. We're going to the Valley next weekend to the annual country Jamboree. It's a little more country then I like but the views are amazing (right on the Bay of Fundy) and I enjoy the yard sale/flea market component plus visiting with family that I don't often see.
Anyway, I guess I should either get back to the dishes or put on a movie or do something. Things here are overall going well.

Maybe you need to check out a few things that could possibly be causing your exhaustion. Like your electrolytes also your B-12 level your thyroid levels and your hemoglobin. Just a thought. I\'m glad you have found a good group of believers. Your next weekend sounds like lots of fun! Enjoy!
