Wednesday Update, whether you need one or not!

I just wanted to share this photo with you.

I took it awhile ago, but when I was looking through my photos for something to post - I realized that I hadn't posted this one!

See how the apple is in the shape of a heart? Awesome, eh?

I was teasing a friend of mine, that I see hearts so often that I was going to put together a 'found hearts collection' - I was teasing her that I was going to steal one of her photos for my collection.
She, of course, agreed! She's game for most things though :D

Anyways, the heart is always a good place to start.

Ahhhh smarmy!!!

Other than that, I have not too, too much to report.

Here's a pair of earrings that I made for a friend of mine, she doesn't read this blog so I'm pretty sure the surprise is safe! 

I've almost finished a repair of a bracelet I made for my mumma.
She had a VERY long necklace that was glass beads and gold covered plastic ones.

She always loved the glass beads, but didn't like how long the necklace was.
She could never find a reason to wear it.
But
she DID love to wrap it around her wrist!
So I took it apart and put the glass beads on stretch cord.

She likes to just slide things on.

It looked a little something like this,

but then it broke and she lost some of the beads.

so I added the blue glass row. 

It looks like nice, I think...

and a little bit different! Which I like.

I also made this necklace - actually, I made two of the pendants but I finally got one strung on a chain.

:D

so I'm off to do what ever it is that the day has in store for me...

Laundry and yardwork, I think.

The MRSA in my toe seems to be responding well to the medication, so that means I can get out there and attack the jungle that my lawn has become.

(I sprained my toe last week and the MRSA got under the skin where the swelling met the nail. blast. It's hard to tell how Zeke is responding: the site has gotten bigger, but without a head anymore. so maybe good, maybe bad.)

I hope that your day is GREAT!!

:D

Monday - New week, new challenges

MRSA again.

so more doctors appointments and laundry, laundry, laundry.

They say that your house will never been clean enough to prevent it, but it Zeke seems to get it just after I've been really sick and the house is a disaster zone.

so either my housecleaning skills could prevent it or when I'm sick he doesn't eat as well as he should and his immune system is weak....

Either way, I'm sure it's my fault.

But I'll make a doctor's appointment, scrub everything and SHAKE it OFF!

It's raining again today...

Which is very odd.

Moses Lake has an average rainfall of 7.69 inches.

And I think that we've gotten that already this spring!

Well...

the flowers love it!!

Now I just have to get some dirt for my garden beds

 which DO have the landscape fabric stapled into the bottom of them,
but it's been so long that the weeds, you see inside the forms, are now much taller!!

But for now

it rains.

so I've gotten a gardening reprieve.

I'll eat my cream of wheat

a rainy day MUST!

- and head to the doctor's.

9:30

wish us luck!!

Plans

So it's another sunny day up here on the Plateau above the Columbia River and while the Buffalo are still scarce upon this great grassland (see: none), there are plans for life.
Why talk about my 'plans for life'?
 Why mention the lack of Buffalo?

Why the big scope? Why am I looking at the big picture?
Well.

You see, MRSA has returned to our house, bringing me down, 

And though my days look like this

  I'm going to keep making plans for the future!

Cause, DAMN, MRSA bums me out!

The doctor says that because Zeke's still growing, his immunity falls low sometimes and he can get 'outbreaks' until he's fully grown...

yipee...

Deep Breath.

So today...

I'm going to take joy in small things.

 make big plans

and take comfort in wonderful signs

Though I'm still trying to work out if Doves cuddling against the cold wind outside our house is a good sign or not? In empathy maybe?

And get to work!
