Crazy, busy, fun day!

There are lots of peeps on the place today (farm) which makes for a delightful day. 

Today I found out how much I can do, which is quite a lot.  I did "peter" out a couple of times, but chillin' wit da fam for a bit took care of it, and I was able to continue with stuff I wanted to do.  YAY!  No really, YAY!  When I look back on the last 5 or 6 years I see a pattern of illness.  I called in sick more than I ever had in my life, tons of sinusitis and dizziness, and increasing fatigue over the years.  For exampe, last Thanksgiving I got the upstairs of my parents all cleaned up, for company, after putting it off for months.  It nearly killed me to get it all spic and span.  I was just so fatiqued.

I digress.  Here's a list of what I did today:

• Walked to Aunt Lorraine and Unle Tom's and visited a bit.
• Cleaned the pool with cousin Susan.
• Walked around the pond with Coco.
• Took down my mom's curtains for her to fluff and de-dustify.
• Had Tea and cake with Aunt L and Uncle T, Aunt Genie, Mom, Levi, Susan, and Tommy (I live for these spontaneous afternoon teas, ok).
• Washed aproximately 3/4 of our outside windows with cool Windex sprayer gizmo (works very well).
• Blogged

What a splendid and satisfying day!

Tomorrow I'm off to lunch with cousin Bonnie in Dothan and head on up to camp with Dad at Lake Eufaula.  Coco and I will be staying in my tent, not the enormo travel trailer.  I can't wait! 

It looks like my period of convalescence will soon come to a close.  Seasonal job in Navarre or census job in Navarre, here I come.  Just think, only ONE month ago my health was careening downhill.  My walking was starting to be affected, I was in constant pain, and I was so dizzy I couldn't drive.  What an amazing drug Prednisone.  Hopefully, there will be one for me with fewer long term side effects.  Here's prayin' for a rheumatology appt through Santa Rosa We Care and continued health.

What's for Lunch Mama Gladys?

Mama Gladys pulled out all the stops for Easter lunch. We had steak, baked potato, salad and a roll.

This is Dad's plate. Dad likes steak a little bit.

My more meager allotment (blasted blood sugar!):

Peace.
