Last Friday we had some very cold temperatures... staying inside was the best thing to do.
How I am feeling this morning
My achilles tendon has been hurting for a month... thinking I will take a week off gym and let it rest to see if it makes a difference. In the meantime will do the automassages and icing as found on youtube.
My chest seems to be infected and I've got a little cough... yuck!
And of course I'm still having hot flashes
Ain't life grand?
On the other hand my grandson will be here in about 1 hour and that is what I am looking forward to today :)
On my mind
2nd week my daughter is down with a cold and coughing. Hoping it passes by quickly.
Thinking about some govt exams I have to go take next Sunday - yuck! it's for my work.
On the breakfast plate
Had some rye toasts this morning (2 with marmelade and 1 with mustard) and a mint tea.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your mom's diagnosis - that is NEVER an easy one to hear. I've caretaked for SEVERAL family members over the last decade with it and I will NEVER understand that disease. I hope your mom has the "gentle" version - keeping you all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your pictures - so cute! The expression on the dog's face is a perfect capture! Have fun with your grandson today and have a GREAT week.
Busy week over there. Hope everyone gets healthy! Prayers for your friend, that's a lot and at a young age. I thought the second Atwood book was better than the first one as well. Still need to get around to watching the series on Hulu at some point. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteOh the babe in the basket...precious! And I love your tiered tray!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the diagnosis concerning your mom. That's what we've been going through on this end with Pat, so I understand what you're going through and I am praying over all. Lovely pics and blessings for the week ahead! <3
ReplyDeleteAren't hot flashes just the BEST? lol Just started having them myself. Sorry about your mom's diagnosis, I'm sure that has to be hard. My grandmother had Alzheimer's for many years.
