Gratitude For Flat
Life continues to move forward. I am not yet fully in a headspace where I know what to write here, which is a rarity. It’s not that I am necessarily depressed nor dwelling on any kind of grief. My intellectual brain says, “They were just dogs.” My heart says, “They were my babies.” My soul…

R.I.P. Monty and Peanut…
Well, it’s taken me almost a month to be able to post about this or to write on here at all. I have been avoiding emotional processing of the loss of these two beautiful souls. At the beginning, I sobbed. I spent hours rewatching videos over the three short years we had with them. I…

A Long Weekend in England
It started in a castle and ended with an Afternoon Tea. We had a long weekend away to England flying in and out of Bristol, with a drive to Devon/Tavistock, then the beachside in Instow and a final day back in Bristol before our early flight home. It was a lot of fun and fairly…

Health: Hysterectomy Post-Op Week 3
Things are looking up in terms of returning to a “normal” way of life. I’ve been to the doctor again for an ultrasound check. Unfortunately, this revealed there is still some inflammation and liquid in my large intestine from the operation, but she didn’t seem overly worried about it. So, I am on some more…

Health: Hysterectomy Post-Op Week 2
Two weeks. It feels like the longest two weeks ever, yet my healing is coming along so nicely that I can see an end to the slow days and movements not too far in the near future. These days, I have been up and about more in the mornings. This is when I get house…

Had Better Days…
It’s been just over a week now since O-day. Overall, everything seems good in terms of the healing. I’m still generally off the pain meds, but still taking some arnica montana 30c a few times throughout the day. However, the mood the last couple of days has been less than stellar. Probably, my insides are…

Health: Hysterectomy Post-Op Week 1
This picture pretty much expresses how I have been moving the past week. Tomorrow will be one week post-hysterectomy-operation. Today, at Day 7 (surgery day = Day 1), I feel pretty good, all things considered. It’s the first day that I have taken a mere 5 pellets of 30c arnica montana and nothing else. So,…

Health: Fibroids Update Part 2 & Hysterectomy
Well, at the end of my last update just over a month ago, I promised to keep this space informed. Since things happened quickly in between other life activities, I am writing now at home – post operation. First, let me just say to women, who have had c-sections and then needed to care for…

Freeing the Mind – A little…
It’s been a busy week to kick off the new month of May. Every day, I find myself saying that it’s temporary or that in a couple of weeks it will be slower. Yet, I have finally accepted – yes, just today after all these years! – that each day is a game of balance…

Spring-ing!
Yikes, the time has flown by and April is already almost over. I hardly know how the time has passed, but life is good. I am always in a state of trying to balance all the things I want to do (which is a lot) with what I have to do (which isn’t that much).…
