^ This is a random pic of us from last summer in Yosemite National Park in good ol California
Oh thank goodness for my dog gate I pulled out from the basement!!! 🙂 I never have needed it but tonight I am in heaven because of it. I am cooking a new recipe, looking at my computer… ok and now blogging and generally like tonight my husband has just gotten home and wants to talk and my dogs are happy daddy is home, mommy is cooking and they home I drop something and they are all sorts of in the way. Not tonight!! They are looking sad from the other side of the gate but I’m smiling!! 😉 Our kitchen isn’t big enough for 2 little 4-legged shadows walking right behind me and I am always tripping over them. I open the fridge and they are backing up into each other… ugh, nightmare. Problem SOLVED!
Since Monday I’ve had a weird week. I mean the contrast made me gross that day then Tuesday I was tired because of my Oxycodones as with last night. No I am not ever tired in the day or would I be as long as I get sleep and don’t take my Oxys. I’ve had a lot of pain this week from my spleen. This is always a concern when I have pain!! I get nervous and since I’ve had spleen issues that hospitalized me if you recall that blog. Ugh! I’ve had major back pain but had realized I had lifted pretty heavy boxes because I forgot I can’t do that stuff anymore. Ahh! I really do forget things like that and the pain is always a reminder. I forget my back isn’t strong as it used to be so I am not sure if it also inflamed my spleen causing the pain or what. This was even a ‘tender to the touch’ pain. I had up’d my dose of pain med to 20mg. I know some people are against narcotics but I tried the homeopathic ways first and I hurt bad so I wasn’t going to put up with pain when my Oxy does the trick. This has caused my drowsiness though with the higher mg. It takes away my pain though! 🙂 Or at least today it finally did. I woke up in a lot of pain and took my pain meds and it finally worked, I felt good today!! 🙂
I reeeeally need this weekend to go very very slow. I have a lot of things to get done, places to be, people to see etc. all done before chemo Monday and I have another busy 2 weeks.
PS anyone notice anything in my March 1st blog?…… you won’t see it if your looking at your e-mail, only the site on inet… haha….

Ashley – take it slow this weekend – your body is telling you something. Sometimes we have to give ourselves permission to slow down. Our head wants us to be the same old person we were, and although that’s what we want we get reminders sling the way. Enjoy the weekend!
Yup I do this constantly 🙂 I am always reminding myself to try to slow down. I hope you had a good weekend!
Great photo, Ashley! Dan and I have been to Yosemite a few times. So beautiful! Do take it easy this weekend. Keeping you abd Tim in prayer everyday!
Thank you Phil!! I keep you and Dan in my prayers as well. 🙂 It is a nice place to visit. I think we have been to all the national parks now or are close to all… I’d have to check again but we had went to Cali so many times but we’d always skip the park because of the location.
