I have been visiting family in Wisconsin since Saturday. I am staying with my mom while I am here. Yesterday I visited with an old friend and her family and then all of us went to my sister's on the lake. We took a long boat ride, it was so beautifu out...80 degrees or warmer. Very relaxing. Today it is in the low 50's. Crazy weather. My mom and I went to the Olive Garden for lunch and then this evening I am going to see the opening of the movie Sex and the City . My brother works for a local T.V. station and he has two free tickets. Should be fun. My husband stayed home to take care of our two puppies. I miss them so much, I almost didn't make the trip. I needed a break though. I have been taking care of our female dog non-stop. She has some serious health issues and needs a lot of attention. That's about it for now. More about my trip when I get back. Damselfly Lady

Here is the question of the day. Why is it, when one thing in my life is not going well, everything else seems to fall by the wayside? I don’t want to do anything productive. I have all these great goals but, I don’t have the energy or wherewithal to do them. It isn’t just the current problem, this happens to me all the time. I guess I am only able to focus on one thing…the problem, when a crisis comes up. Everything else will just have to wait. Is this the norm? Do others handle crises differently? I sometimes think I might be using the crisis to avoid doing the things that need getting done. I am an average procrastinator by nature, but have improved over the course of my life. I have found that if I do something right away, then it is more apt to get done than if I put it off and heap it on the ‘to do’ pile Sometimes it truly is a matter of energy. The current problem is our little Charlotte; she needs more attention ...

Well, good news my mother has been released from the hospital. Her Atrial fibrillation has gone back to a normal rhythm. She still has fluid in her lungs or is it around her lungs...I am not sure. She is staying with my brother for a while until she feels up to going to her own place. She has a great neighbor who looks in on her, so I am happy she will not be completely alone. On another bright note, we held a baby shower for a girl I work with yestersday at work. It is her first. She is due in early June. I knitted a baby sweater for her. It turned out well. It is my first time knitting a baby sweater. Here is a photo:

Family and all that that entails...

Well, it has been a trying time for me and my family this past month. Beginning in April around the 10th I think my female dog, Charlotte, came down with a rare, strange condition called Myositis. If you are interested in the details the link below does a good job of describing the condition. http://www.vetspecialists.co.uk/06_Animal_Welfare/Neurology_Facts/Myositis.html Charlotte is on steroids, which has several very unpleasant side effects of its own. Poor thing has her muscles wasting and drinks and pees a lot more than normal. She is tired all the time and I am sure wonders what happened to her. For the umpteenth time I wish dogs could understand humans and vice versa. We are finished with one month of steroids at full-strength and are into our 2nd week of a reduced dose of the steroids. She also has developed a urinary track infection. More peeing. In addition to all that has happened with Charlotte my mom is in the hospital. She went in for a ...
