Sun! Sun!

I can't believe it. Sunny and warm...at the same time! Spring is finally here. *does the limpy gimpy happy dance* Even though I'm still tired from all I had to do yesterday, I'm glad that the day is a sunny one today. Yesterday I know I didn't post but I was really tired and my hands/wrists were so sore from typing that I couldn't do much of anything else. I had a good time chatting with some old friends though. It was worth it. I did go to the doctor yesterday. For the past few weeks I've been feeling some cramping and aching in my calves. I noticed that I had gained weight even though I was watching my food intake and drinking water. The doctor agreed with me that I was retaining fluid so he started me on a week of water pills to see if they would take care of the problem. I don't know as of yet if I am going to have to use them all the time or just when I feel I need them. With the blood thinners, I have to be careful of what I take, even over the counter medicines could be dangerous for me. Today I am going to rest because I have some Spring cleaning to do with weekend before Chris gets back to work. I know I'm going to miss having him around to help me with some things and keep me company when I feel low. But on the flipside of things, I'll love having a few hours just to myself to do whatever I want, whether it be reading all day or writing or even sitting in front of the tv mindlessly watching soaps.

I'm still working through the third book of the LOTR trilogy. I so hope to finish it by this time next week. I've found a few "short" books that I can read and beef up my goal number a bit. Lol, that way I won't feel so bad when June comes around. Since Chris is going to be busy this afternoon and out of my hair, I can really spend a lot of time catching up with Frodo and Sam as well as the others. Tomorrow I am going to try and work on writing a bit to give my wrists a bit more of a rest. They'll need it after I go through my emails and posts that I need to do. So I'm off to do what I can. Before I go, would everyone please say a little prayer for my friend, "J"? He's not doing too well healthwise at the moment and my heart breaks that there isn't more I can do for him at the moment. Thanks in advance from the bottom of my heart. Love to you all.

Love and blessings,
Kim
