My monthly posts have dwindled to every three to six months. I think living with pain dulls my creative inclinations and tends to dampen my usual positive attitude.
I saw my Dr. In November for back pain, he referred me for an MRI but gave me nothing to deal with pain in the meantime. My MRI was set for January 14th so about 7 weeks between Dr. Appt and MRI. After the MRI I contacted my Dr. to make a follow up appointment to get the results. It would be over a month before they were able to fit me in, so another month of dealing with the pain, and some days the inability to walk further than my bathroom. Pain is depressing and honestly just wears me out. Tomorrow is my Dr. appointment so hope to get some relief.
Despite the pain I have managed to get a couple paintings done and have even helped Brooke out by instructing some cooking, baking and cake decorating classes. Next week is an acrylic painting class...can't wait!!
Weather this winter has been awesome in my opinion. I haven't had to burn much wood, the heat pump has only shut down for a few hours one night due to the drop in temperature. Billy on the other hand, isn't as impressed with the lack of snow. He has only had to shovel a handful.of times. When we did get some snow he shovelled the drive way, the back deck, the dog's yard area and the front yard! I have never known anyone who loves shovelling more than Billy!! Next weekend is his yearly camp weekend at Hampton Bible camp. He always looks forward to this, a weekend of unlimited coffee and hanging out with his camp friends. 😁
Brit doesn't enjoy camp but she is looking forward to spending the weekend with Brooke and is hoping they will be going to the movies.
I guess not much has happened since my last post. Winter is a more sedate time, saving energy for the nice weather when there will be more comings and goings. So that's it for now, I will try to rustle up some excitement between now and my next post hahaha!
