Wire Basket, Cup, Lily Bit, Exhausterwhelmulated and Levi (B's Friend) and Braden

 

I mentioned the other day

about going thrifting.

I picked up this heavy metal 

wire basket for 4 bucks.

I looked it up on google

search and found someone

has one just like it 

for 26.99

Pretty good deal on 

that. I had to laugh though,

it stated that the basket 

was a vintage basket. 

With that said, I am going

to go down a rabbit

hole to find out how old

something has to be to be 

vintage, or antique.

Let you know later what

I find out about that.

Looked up the cup and

saucer also. 

I paid 4 bucks for that

also and its worth 12.

Mine however is missing the 

cat spoon.

 Speaking of cat, I laid

down early in the afternoon

on Monday, and Lily 

Bit came and tucked herself

behind my knees like normal,

and after the 2nd big head

rub, she curled up and 

napped.

Monday evenings ball game

with Braden's school was starting

30 mins earlier than normal, 

4:30. The school furnishes 

as van to get the boys 

to games but I had planned

on the 30 min drive to go.

I am glad I did, Since it was 

starting earlier, and Amber

works about an hour away from

Centerville, not 

getting off till 5 I told her

not to try and come. I was there,

I would bring Braden home. 

That meant I locked myself

in to staying for the whole

game.

I was happy that it did not

get really cold. I had my jacket and 

a blanket so I was covered,

just did not want to freeze out 

there. Team lost. 

Braden caught a high fly

ball to make the 3rd out

on the other team. 

These games are not something

I can do every time. You see, I 

talk about the pain and 

fatigue that goes with 

Fibro but I have not 

really talked about how

somethings can be 

overwhelming.

At the game there were 

small kids, and 

early teens running up

and down the metal bleachers.

Kicking the fencing that goes

up and down the bleachers. 

Walking past me on 

bleachers, constantly.

It became really 

overwhelming to me. 

Noise and smells can become

more intense and the noise

was hitting high on the 

intense and overwhelming scales.

During times like this, 

I have to take some really 

deep breaths, keep my mouth

shut, don't shoot daggers and tough it out. 

I did. I got Braden home. He is

so sweet that it makes me 

toughing it out worth it.

I have this thing I do for him,

I always leave a piece of candy

or two in his seat when I pick

him up, he thanked me for that.

I got him McDonalds to eat.

He thanked me for that. 

When I got him home, he 

thanked me for the ride, 

then the food again, 

then told me her loved me, 

and thanked me again,

for whatever reason!

Yep, it was worth it.

Levi on the left and Braden on the right.

I hate seeing him grown up.

Hoping your Monday was 

a good one,

Pam
