OUCHIES



Not sure if anyone missed me or not but I shut down my blog for a few weeks in a effort to regain some much needed perspective. Have you ever been so overwhelmed that instead of doing more, you just shut down?

Well, that is what happened to me. I finally got a diagnosis for some issues I have been having. And that was a huge relief. To know that I am not going crazy was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I am not going insane! YEAH!!! Thats always good news don't you think?

Anyhoooo... What in the world does this have to do with a crafting blog??? - I am getting to that. LOL! So with a diagnosis, I got meds. Lots of meds. Okay. Big adjustment for a girl that has problems swallowing as simple as vitamins. :) Then came the extra appointments. Overwhelming amounts of appointments. To add some additional chaos, lets throw in exercising five nights a week shall we? Ugh. Are you KIDDING ME?! I can't move without shrieking and you want me to exercise? Alrighty then. Stupid doctors. LOL! Off to the pool I go. Every stinkin' evening. You'd think I'd be a size 6 by now. (Okay, its only been a couple weeks so maybe I need my expectations adjusted a bit.) SOOOOO lets wrap this up shall we? In a nut shell, I have been preoccupied, over extended, and overwhelmed. Which leaves my craft room vacant and dust accumulating. Bottom line - no cards, no layouts, no crafts. Nada to show you peeps.



So instead of crying about it and whining, thought I'd get a new perspective and a new sense of reality. Opened back up my blog and thought I'd just share with you that I am here. And I will post when I can. Please feel free to keep following me. As I feel better and get more acquainted with juggling things,I will be posting more often.

Hugs to all of you. Thank you for your support and understanding ~ 2 ducky :)

  2. I understand what you're saying! I am also trying to consistently exercise to lose extra weight, a portion of which was caused by a certain medication, so now I'm adjusting to a second med to counteract the first med, but they both have their plusses LOL! Plus, it's so hard to get motivated to move with other stuff going on! Anyway, take time for yourself, doing what you feel like doing, not what you feel obligated to do. And DON'T feel guilty!! Hugs!
