Lifes Puzzles
Hey everyone. I had to take hubby to the ER again recently. Things were still not right even after the go round on meds since his last visit a brief while back. They put him on a much stronger antibiotic & a dose of prednisone. This time they set the prescription for a full 10 days as I questioned that up to now it just didn't seem to be connecting. This time the ER dr gave us a copy of the results from his CT scan & such. It was a very thorough report wit a copy to our family dr. We did the folllow up with our family dr on Thurs afternoon. It went as expected. COPD is a progressive disease & he stressed thayt wheneverr hubby picks up a lung infection or anything related he will never come back 100%. But as it is now he appears to be doing better this time around. We see the dr again on Tues & go for x-rays. It's been so hard on both of us to stay as together & positive as possible. He can see that some days I'm just dragging as the day goes on. But I know this is where the Lord wants me to be in life. I fall into the trap & putting me on the back burner for later. My reflexologist always picks up on that & reprimands me accordingly. So I'm every day doing whatever I can in moments here & there to stop & think abt me. I think thats why yoga is so important to me cause I escape the world for that bit.
Fight on right!!!!!
I've got a bit of a puzzle with someone I thought was a soul sister friend, a friend that the connection seemed like it could never be severed. It's been a yr now since I've seen her (we used to do things togethere weekly). I reached out to her & called her four times last yr & I got to feel like she was impatient & pushing me aside. There was once she answered her phone & I told her I've been thinking of her. She just abruptly asked abt hubby & I responded & I lso gave her info on me. Get this she frustratingly said oh your told me that before. She's in a rotten relationship, keeps burying herself in her awful life etc etc. I've always reached out to her, to comfort her, make her forget life etc. etc. But I've started to realize that if she doesn't want to start to better her life then I'm sorry I can't hold her hand & keep my shoulders available. So I haven't called her yet this yr. Am I out to lunch here in my thinking. I've got my burdens to deal with b ut I always kept a spot in my heart for her. I don't feel it's right for me to keep chasing after her. Please give me your thoughts everyone as my support here are truly wise wise people.
But things are not bad overall. I'm waiting for my furniture deliv ery for my gal cave, shd be in abt 2 wks then I'll post photos. It's turned out so good & it makes me smile.
Hey as anyone ever done any coloring in the variety of adult coloring books. Ive got 4 really neat ones & I never realized that it can be such an escape. I can truly turn the world off when I'm in my room, music on, coloring book & pencil crayons. Happy camper I am. I got a really great book on butterflies & flowers. I love not really planning how it "shd" look but just letting my mind go with it.
My birds & squirrels all seem to be fine. Hubby laughs at when I slide the sunroom door open or I come fr the garage when I've been out & squirrels appear fr all over. He always said that they've got me trained really well. I'm such a sucker aren't I. But there's justy something abt them. They too help me escape fr my thoughts. We've got three mournng doves & one day recently I was sitting outside a couple ft away fr their water tray & one landed & spent time at the water. It surprised me cause they are normally very shy birds but what a special moment.
Anywho I'll sign off for now. I'v e got to decide how I'm go ing to cook my rockfish fillet for supper.
Love to all who are here to share my ramblings.

Hi, dear Kitty, I\'m sorry that your husband had to go to the ER, and I hope his meds help him feel better.
Too bad about your good friend giving you the cold shoulder. I have the least amount of experience with keeping a friendship going. (I had a great friend that just stopped calling me and always had other plans when I called her to do something. I really liked her and I have no idea why she stopped being my friend, but she didn\'t even want to talk to me, and without any explanation. I felt sad about it for a long time). I guess we all have our own journeys to travel and if it was meant to be, our paths will cross again.
Oh, birds and squirrels are so wonderful. I\'m glad they are in your life to bring you joy too. Our back yard is busy with their activities and antics I\'m loving to watch. How nice of the morning dove to visit the water while you were watching. We had our back garden cleaned and all the weeds pulled. The robins have been entertaining me getting worms that are near the surface now. It looks like they are having a big feast!
Take care of your precious self and keep on keepin\' on!
Sorry to hear about DH in ER again but it sounds like he\'s on the recovery road, I know how hard it is for both of you. Keep on fighting! Girl Cave? Love this and can\'t wait to hear about your space. What furniture did you order? I\'ve learned that friends come in seasons and for specific reasons and as I\'ve gotten older I don\'t do well with one sided friendships, its a mutual relationship. I only have 8 DS friends so it goes 2 ways, right? Oh let\'s talk about birds and feeders! Finches are back!!! Love them. I put out sunflower seeds too and am getting alot of cardinals. Want to put up one of those peanut wreath hangers for blue jays (are they here in the summer?). Adult colouring books are the rage, my mom enjoys them, they\'re so popular... have fun! Love and hugs....
Hi my sweet friend! I\'m sorry to hear about the ER trip. I\'m glad he is responding better but I know this is hard on you. Don\'t beat yourself up too much about putting yourself \"last\"... we all do that. You\'re doing the best you can and that is surely good enough :).
About your friend... that is sad. I know that feeling all too well. It seems I have that relationship with all my friends (not DS though). If I let go of them, they won\'t come back or think of me, it seems, so I keep reaching out. I think, in a situation like yours, I would probably call her at a time when I think she might be out so that I can leave a message. I don\'t mean that to be surly, but rather, based upon her earlier attitude... I would prefer to leave a message I could say what I want to say and then leave the ball in her court to get back to you if she wants. I\'d maybe try to throw in a comment that lets her know in a nice, subtle way, that the ball is in her court, etc.
I think it\'s great how you can escape your thoughts with nature. That seems like the best way to do it, the healthiest way. Please keep us posted on how the test results go and all. God bless xoxo
