What Do You Do When You Can't Sleep...
Comments (22)Reading all your messages has been like hearing the latest updates on my three sisters. That's a compliment and sincere thank you. Crohn's disease, Graves disease, fibromyalgia and arthritis (Rheumatoid/Osteo)have reared their ugly heads among my 3 sisters but left me inexplicably unscathed. The family is an autoimmune minefield...LOL. After the ONE night I went home to get some sleep I came back to my father's house to find 2 cars and no father. When your 82 year old father is MIA without explanation you naturally worry. Turns out he had a second serious bout of Atrial Fibrillation and went to the hospital without telling me. Ask me if I wasn't feeling guilty for leaving him and upset with him for not calling me. He didn't want to interfere with me taking my best friend to a colonoscopy appointment Monday AM. I didn't sleep again Monday or Tuesday nights but got a couple hours sleep earlier tonight when I landed back at my father's with Pop in tow from hospital/cardiology office. No Coumadin yet until results of 3 week montoring device show if he's having small episodes of A-Fib when he gets chest tightness on treadmill at gym. Coumadin and exercised induced symptoms are the worst for him. He's extrememly active physically (so he doesn't fall asleep!) although we're having memory issues. Well, I've whined again but it feels better to get it out. I went outside yesterday at first light to rake and do a little garden clean up. It was glorious and relaxing. If all stays well for next week or so I'll have cooked my 5th Thanksgiving dinner and actually gotten somewhat used to it. Part of family will be here and Dad can have his turkey dinner without dietary restrictions of blood thinner. He's all about his food but luckily for me not picky...LOL. All in all, I'm a pretty lucky chickadee tonight. :) Good wishes for all of your health challenges as well. I think I'm going to get some Lavender heat wraps to relax me when I'm exhausted but can't sleep....See MoreYou can't trust a Labrador Retriever
Comments (6)lol... that joke stuck with me. I was sitting talking with hubby and dadinlaw and just broke into that joke for no reason at all except that it was funny and still on my mind. They both belly laughed....See MoreAnyone else feel like they can't trust others to water their plants?
Comments (13)It doesn't have to be drip. I tuck containers in my landscape beds that have sprays on shrub risers. Most large wholesale nurseries use sprays to water their containers. It is pretty easy to set up a square of PVC with sprays on the corners on a timer. Then you just have to fill in the square with pots. If you have a lot of pots that can fill an 8'x8' square, trying to put them all on individual drip can be a nightmare....See Morehusband can’t “picture” what something will look like in his mind
Comments (4)You'd think there would be, what with all the technology that's available at our fingertips these days. Someone more knowledgeable about such things than I can perhaps point you in the right direction. I do know there are sites (like esalerugs) where you can "audition" a rug in your space by uploading a photo, and paint companies like Sherwin Williams allow you to "paint" your room by doing the same thing (although it only provides a marginal representation of what the color will really look like in real life). I will say that I think it's great to have a partner who is interested enough in your home to care, so kudos to your hubby. And to you for trying to find a way to truly partner with him in your home decorating endeavor. Good luck!...See Morelindac
