I've been doing TONS of stuff lately. I've been a busy busy girl. Great for me, not so great for my blog. By the time I actually sit I'm generally way too tired to do much of anything. I've actually been sleeping lately too. Crazy, I know!
But, I've been committed to getting this baby caught up! So at the very least I'm pumping out some little blogs before I fall-out, rather than a long catch up. If anything, I am adaptive!
I'm currently armed with coffee and a can-do attitude! I've had a really scattered morning. I got allergy testing yesterday which was terrible. I had to get the scratch test and injections, because my control didn't work on the scratch test, and then I wound up reacting to everything and my immune system freaked out. I'm allergic to pretty much everything but mold. It's pretty bad, and I'm not quite sure how it's even possible considering all the steroids and immunosuppresants I'm on. I'm going to try allergy shots since my insurance is willing to cover it in full, and there's a chance they could help calm my psycho immune system down.
It was all riled up last night from the testing and I felt super shitty all night. I hid in bed and slept. I'm still not at 100% today. I've been all over the place trying to find something that I feel well enough to do. I worked on my magnet board for a bit, but ran out of magnets. Started taking a walk, but by lap two decided I really wasn't up for that yet, and it seems I decided just in time as it's pouring now. I did my chores around the house, but that didn't take long. So now here I am working on this!
I finally got my garden going! It looks great. It started out looking like this:
But, after a ton of hard work it looks like this:
It's something I've been wanting to do for a long time, and I'm incredibly proud of it. I never would have been able to accomplish this last year.
I have even more pepper and tomato plants in my Pop's garden out back. I ran out of room.
I saw a quote that I think really encompassed some of my feelings about gardening.
Gardening is a huge investment, and sort of ties you down to the area you're in. I think there's a sense of home attached to it, as well as future. It's a long term commitment for reward.
We have a ton of interesting plants along the woods-line of our property. I know what some of them are, but not all. I went out the other day and took pictures of a bunch of interesting ones. I want to try to identify some of them, and some I just took pictures because they're pretty. I'll put a blog up full of them in the future. I need to finish editing them.I've been nursing a wicked sun burn. I set up a yard sale outside the other day, and it was cloudy out so I didn't bother with sunscreen. Yeah, terrible idea. I learned my lesson on that one. My skin is so sensitive from all of my medicine too which doesn't help. I had nausea and chills from it. Not my idea of a good time. I've been seeing a lot about the woman with MS who got over-heated outside a few days ago and wound up dying. Scary shit, and a brutal reminder that even though I'm feeling better I can't under estimate the heat and what it does to my diseases.
It's supposed to be cooler out the next few days which I'm looking forward to.
Our hummingbird feeder is becoming a busy place! I see a hummingbird there about once an hour now. It's pretty cool. Tuxington enjoys watching them. And by enjoys, I mean he wants to eat them.
