There's been so much going on over the past few weeks. So much I may have to post to my blog over 2 or more posts. It's been crazy!!
First I'll share a few pictures {you know me + taking pictures!!} of some clock projects I've altered.
This clock I made for my boss' office at TCA. This picture does NOT do it any justice. It came out adorable! Perfectly whimsical for the Preschool Director at Trimont Christian Academy!!
And this clock is in the Teacher's Lounge at TCA's preschool dept. I, too, LOVE how this one turned out. Love the paper I used and wanted to use if for litterally YEARS!!!
These two pictures are of the sky looking west from the Kmart parking lot. {If you live in Franklin, NC you'll know where I'm talking about!!} It had just rained...actually pored...and this is what the sunset was starting to look like shortly after. Gorgeous!!
Some may think I'm CRAZY!! {but really, I'm not!!} BUT SERIOUSLY*****HOW COOL ARE THESE PICTURES?!?!?!? Love the rainbow effect of this row of ribbons. Saw this photo-op in the Michaels store in Boone, NC a few weeks ago. I'm planning on using one...possibly both...as backgrounds to cards. Love it!!
These next few pictures are the most recent pics of our home. Kevin took them to show a customer some different color combos that are available out there. {Their house has been the same beige colors for many, many years.} Anyway...just wanted to share.
And this Whiskey barrel is at the bottom of our driveway. Kevin is quite proud of *his flowers* as he calls them!! LOL!! And I don't blame him...they are doing beautifully!!
We just LOVE this picture! This was taken over Memorial Day weekend when we were up visiting Hannah. We took some time alone and drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway where we pulled over at one of the overlooks. I, of course, set the camera on the hood of the car, set the timer and VOILA!! :)
Okay...now for what's been happening the past 2 weeks.....
I ended up sick...again! :-/ This time the worse I've ever been. Stayed home from work last Wed. (6/8) figuring I would do my routine doctoring {saline spray, Albuterol inhaler, Advil, Tesselon cough perles.....etc.} and lay low + be fine to go to work the next day. Well when I woke up on Thursday (6/9) I had a fever of over 102!! Could hardly breathe. Was couging like crazy. And was feeling just downright HORRIBLE!!! Kevin tried making an appt. with my doctor but they couldn't get me in until Friday (6/10). We were then going to go to the walk-in clinic but decided in the end to make a trip to the ER. My temp was up to 103 by then + I was totally miserable. My oxygen levels were down to 90 so the nurse stuck an oxygen tube in my nose. Boy did that help a great deal!! Come to find out I had PNEUMONIA!!! I have NEVER had PNEUMONIA!! And with all my bronchial issues I've had most of my life that is saying alot!! So...long story short....I've been on antibiotics since last Thursday (6/9) and have been getting better as each day goes on. It has been SOOOO SLOW GOING!! I will say that. I've been out of work since that *dreaded* Thursday. (6/9) I see my doc this coming Tuesday (6/21) at 10:30 a.m. And then the following Wednesday (6/29) I've got an appt. with a Pulomonologist in Sylva to finally get to the bottom of all this *crap.* {sorry about my French!!!} I have had some sort of bronchial issues since I was a kid. It accelerated after Hannah was born. And has even accelerated even more working at TCA. I'm sorry to say, but kids + germs go hand in hand and due to my *weak point* {which are my lungs + the ailments they seem to collect} I've been sick a lot more this past year working there than my whole adult life. :( Anyway...on the brighter side of this particular *episode*..... I am on the mend. Like I said before...it is slow going! I still have to watch everything I do because when I do too much I pay for it later in the day. :( Like yesterday (6/17) Kevin was working and so I was home alone. {I know...could mean trouble!} I ended up straightening the Kitchen. Well come 2:00 in the afternoon I was zonked out on the couch!! And stayed there until supper then back at it {sleeping on the couch} until around 9 p.m. Crazy sleep schedule, I know!
I think today I've learned my lesson. I've hardly done anything...strenuous that is. Oh!! I have made the bed!! LOL!! Laying low. Which is smart!
So, there we have it. My last few weeks of MY LIFE.
Thanks for reading.
LOVE YA!!!
