White Beaches, Fibro, Reuse/Repurpose Items
Pensacola, Florida!
I posted yesterday that the
beaches in Fla. were white,
and I was not talking about
the sand!
This is crazy.
They got more than we
got this year!!
Totally nuts with
climate change.
Planned on heading to an event
down my brother's way on
Sat. from 1-6. Then swinging
by their place to help with
more packing on Sunday.
Not sure that will happen.
Really want to go to the event,
but not sure about the
packing. Being in the basement
in the sewing room, the lifting,
climbing up and down a ladder
and all that mess, I might have
survived if not for the cold that moved
in last Sunday.
My body hurts, my lower back
is not happy but I must have
irritated my hip bursitis.
OUCH!
Last time it was this bad, which
I played around with (well, of
course, you know me) for a few
months, and I had to
have a shot in it.
This is part, and I say
only part of how life with
Fibromyalgia can change life
with the change of weather.
I am going into year
19 with this mess. Things
I read stated this was not a
progressive illness.
WRONG.
With each year things change,
and new things appear,
plus, with this mess there are
certain things that are a given
pretty much, just gotta see
what comes next.
Raynaud Syndrome is one issue,
it appeared about six years ago,
but seems to get worse each yr.
This what the cold can do~
Raynaud’s (pronounced ray-nodes) syndrome is a disorder that affects small blood vessels in your fingers and toes. It may also affect blood vessels in your nose, lips or ear lobes. Raynaud’s causes you to have episodic spasms, called vasospastic attacks, in response to cold temperatures or stress.
During a Raynaud’s attack, the arterioles and capillaries in your fingers and toes tighten more than they should. As a result, your skin in the affected area turns white and then blue. This color change happens because your blood lacks oxygen. Your skin may also feel cold or numb. As your blood vessels relax and open up again, your skin may look red or feel tingly. An attack usually lasts around 15 minutes.
Scrolling down FB, which that
and blogging is my thing
while I do my coffee, I ran
across some reels about thrifting.
I watch the reels on FB anyway
but I stumbled on one about,
"what I thrifted and how I
styled it"...
I of course got sucked in.
I love seeing how people
use that they bought.
However, I have to wonder
how much stuff folks have
and how what they got goes
with what they already had,
talking style and color.
I really don't need stuff,
but I really want to go
thrifting now.
Do you thrift?
Do you reuse items in
different ways as to what
they were made for?
I have always love to thrift,
just the past ten years or so I
started to repurpose items for other
uses. I think the world
needs more repurposing and
less tossing of stuff.
These are a few things I
pulled from Pinterest that have
been repurposed.
Lamp shade with chicken
wire applied to it.
Cheese glass cover used this
way.
Now these candle wax burners
I see at Dollar Tree
all the time.
You place a candle in the
opening, you put wax in the top
where there is a bird.
Also, the bottom of the tall one
is clear glass that is
painted white. Apple the two
and you have the tall one.
These are being used for
decor.
How about a bird cage for
books?
Lighting globes made into
bells.
If you are a baker, you
might have one of these.
I actually have one I never
use. Guess what will prob end
up in the yard!
Tell me what you have that
you reuse differently.
