The hot days of summer are among us,
Everything is lush and green.
My nephews are staying with me so I have not been around much.
What I have noticed about an 18 year old and a 13 year old in the house,
they are always hungry, hungry, hungry and that is before, during, and after
they eat. I have been doing okay though and trying to stick to plan.
Everyone is noticing how much better I am after my surgery.
They are surprised by the amount of energy I have.
The other day was the first outing I have had in eight years
where I was able to go to more than one store, and be
able to do more than one thing. I am thrilled to pieces.
3 stores and lunch the other day and a movie later in the evening.
Now I was exhausted the next day and have slowed it down since.
It really really feels wonderful to be feeling fine.
Until next time be well my friends.
Take care,
Cinner
That's wonderful :-) Baby steps lead to more significant outings. So proud of you!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you Cinner and envious as well! I hope that after my knee surgery, I will be able to enjoy more outings as well!
ReplyDeleteLove Di ♥
I too am happy for you; energy is such a gift and a blessing. Cinner, I had CFIDS (chronic fatigue syndrome) for 11 years and sort of "missed" my 30's. When I got my energy back it was something I will never again take for granted! Wishes that you continue to heal and grow in energy, xoO
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear about your outing and the joy it brought to you. Continue to take care of yourself...as I know that you do.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jackie
Jackie, it is nice to have you back in blog land. I have missed you these past months. I hope you are well. hugs, c
ReplyDeleteOlivia, oh wow eleven years and then did your energy return. I know how hard it is for others to understand how there is a difference from being tired and having no energy. I refer to a few of my years since 39 as the lost years. Sending hugs your way and a great big thank you for being such a wonderful woman in my life. hugs.
ReplyDeleteDiana once you recover they won't be able to hold you back. My friend has had knee surgeries on both knees and had made a difference for about twenty years.I know you are anxious to get this over and done with. all will work out famously for you I am sure. You have been on my mind a lot lately. I am wishing for you health, healing and happiness. hugs
ReplyDeleteKlo Thank you so much for your kind words. Small steps yes and to remind myself to not overdo it. I am not supposed to lift anything over two pounds until the end of August. Thank you so much for your encouraging words. hugs to you.Enjoy

ReplyDeleteI’ve been a blogging slacker lately. Jeffrey and Sloane were gone for two weeks and I found myself completely absorbed by house projects; an unintentional blog break. Now we're on a long, long road trip. We’re in Arizona now and I have a bit of time on the computer – finally! I was having withdrawls from being away from my blogger buddies so long, I tell you. I hope your summer continues to be as wonderful as it sounds here. Love to you and your sweet nephews.
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteyes kids love to eat
i get teenagers everyday, i live way to close to school and i end up having them over every day going to my pantry and emptying it!!!
hugs and blessings to you
Oh Cinner, how marvelous that you had such an exciting day out. I would have been exhausted after that much activity as well but wasn't it great? So glad to hear you are improving daily and I hope you enjoy your time with those hungry nephews. ;-) Hugs to you, Mina
ReplyDeleteMina it was great to be able to do things, more than one. I was so thrilled I was tired the next day. the boys are keeping me busy. Tonight was funny, the younger one gets so giddy when he gets tired so we laughed and laughed. hugs to you dear friend.
ReplyDeleteCarmen, that must be fun for you too. I swear if these boys stay too long, I might have to get a job. lol. take care, hope summer is going great for you. I am trying to get by to visit everyone this week. hugs.
ReplyDeleteRelyn, absorbed in house projects, that sounds familiar. It would have been nice for Jeffrey and Sloan to get a break...Every time I read Sloans name I wonder how you chose it. I love it btw. I so hope you are having a good time and enjoying the time away. It is funny how we miss blogging when we are not. I was thrilled you took the time out of your day to stop by and have a visit.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to call you friend. hugs.
Wanda, thank you that is the best wish of all. hugs to you. thank you for visiting. hope all is well for you and yours. hugs.
ReplyDeleteKim, your Mamma sounds fantastic, go slow to go fast. I really like that.
ReplyDeletehope you are in great spirits. I am coming to pay you a visit dear one. hugs.
Cindy I left a message on your post, you look fabulous and wow what a difference...what struck me is how you just kept on it, and never seemed to falter from it. you inspired me, Congratulations, let me say you are looking fine. hugs. I know what hard work it is. your awesome. have a great week.
ReplyDeleteMaarylin, thank you for visiting and your encouraging words. hugs.
ReplyDeleteBirdie I often think about you and wonder how things are going, I love stopping by your blog and seeing all your lovely photos. I am enjoying summer no matter what the weather. life is good. blessing to you, hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh Lovey you made me smile, I have not been called a girlie girl for a while, so loved it. Life is good, I value every precious moment. hope you are having a fabulous time, good luck with your book sales. hugs.
ReplyDeleteGail, it was lovely, the next day I was a tired girl, but that day was full of energy. so as you know if we get it we take it. That is what I am hoping that your days are filled with some energy and that you are pain free. Every night I pray for a cure and that my friend is well. love you, big Canadian hug. of course a heyyyy.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I laaughed when you mentioned Fox. you know exactly what I am talking about. I am so enjoying my visit. In total they will be here for sixteen days, They have been helping out and making sure I don't do too much until I am completely recovered.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your summer hon, have you put on more miles walking.
hope life is treating you good. hugs.
Sarah what a nice thing to say, I think I am my own worst critique. I think we all do that to some extent.
ReplyDeleteIt is a relief knowing I am getting more energy. It is a gift from God for sure. I think he has been holding my hand, and there have been many angels down here that have been holding my hand too. Thank you, you have been one of them. Your a darling. hugs.
SueAnn hope you are enjoying your week with your grand daughter, you guys always have the best shopping excursions and outing. The boys are not shoppers.m but they sure are eaters. They went to a ball game tonight and yes came home hungry. lol. poor parents with a bunch of kids. I don't know how they must do it.
