Misty and the Glove, Christmas Card, Dr. Apt., City Decro, Wine, Camel, Decor and Holly

Morning to all, or

evening if you are not reading this

post till then!

It is cool, thank goodness not cold, 

but it is rainy today.

When I sat and drank coffee my

little ball of gray fluff decided to 

curl up on my chest for morning

warmth and hugs. 

She dozed off on my chest, with her

head tucked in the palm of my hand.

Yep, she likes to hide her head.

Then just like that, she was awake

and wanting to get down!

She realized she fell asleep.

It has been awhile since Misty did 

the "move the glove around the 

house"! Last night, while I was 

vegging on the couch, I heard that

low meow that cats make when 

they are meowing with something 

in their mouth. 

I looked up and there she was, 

not sure where she found the 

glove, where she apparently had

it stashed, but there it was.

Sort of like she knew I needed it.

Now, isn't this the neatest

Christmas card? My DILs mom,

buys the kits and makes something like

this each yr. I have several tucked

away. I loved this one. She 

puts it together and it comes wiht

directions on how to pop it up 

and open it. 

So honored I am blessed to be

on her list.

If you recall, back around the end

of June, after having such an amazing

spring working and playing outside,

my body did a sort of crash.

I ended up getting down, and 

of course I tagged it as 

depression. Yes, there is some

of that there but, I think I finally

realized that apparently that is not 

at all what I was dealing with, 

or it was not ALL what was going on.

I did see the doc.,or what the medical world

is using to fill in for docs, a NP.

She upped my

fibro meds, cause it is basically used

in fight depression to begin with.

That was a couple months ago.

Also, around the same time I 

stopped my Gabapentin, my memory 

felt like a roller coaster.

The extra Cymbalta however came

with its own issues.

The biggest one, shakes.

I was having issues even painting.

I stopped taking that extra dose cause

it also added to my fatigue.

Went a rheumatoiogist for the fibro cause

I need a doc lined up for just that issue. 

The doc I saw for my "depression" 

aka also my new general doc., had

done labs. I was told by her nurse that 

Vit D and B were down, take supplements.

Even though I had told her, I had

gastric bypass and I take supplements 

daily cause my body does not absorb them

well. The rheumatoiogist I saw, brought 

something to my attention when he saw the 

labs online. He asked if she had

me on shots for the vit b. When I said no,

he said I needed to check again with her.

I went online to check the numbers. 

I was deficient in that vit.

It hit me, that had to be why I 

was not pulling out of this feeling,

this slump, the limp dish rag feeling!

So I then read up on symptoms for

lack of vit B and I fit right in 

with everything.

Time to locate someone 

else to see.

Yesterday I saw an actual doc.

I liked her and we seemed to connect,

which is something I did not feel with 

the first one I saw. She listened, she 

discussed and she ordered more 

blood work. I also got a 

Vit B shot. Sitting here waiting for it

to kick in! Internet says, a few hours to a 

few days.....so I wait.

I told her that I thought it was all 

depression in the beginning but that 

was not improving and I finally came

to the conclusion that the depression 

was brought on due to lack of vit B.

She agreed that was very possible. 

But with that, I had to fill her in on 

other stuff, the memory issue, 

and something that is concerning 

my daughter, shaking.

With that, and the fact I need a 

doc for the fibro, she referred me to

a neurologist. You see, the rheumatoiogist 

I saw informed me that although some 

rheumatologist treat fibro, I needed to 

see a neurologist, plus he was leaving

this area at the end of Dec.

So with that, I aslo sit and wait for 

that office to call. I was also informed

by my daughter, that she wanted

to go to the neuro doc with me.

She told me she is concerned about the 

shaking, the memory, the fog 

I seem to live in. So, I guess that 

will happen. The memory issue does

concern me, that yucky memory word,

Alzheimers runs in the family.

Plus, I have to get my life on track 

somehow!

Sitting and staring into space, 

watching TV and surfing the net 

is not getting things done and I 

am not living.

In Dickson, leaving the docs office

I saw this.  

Cute.

A couple weeks ago I picked this 

up Aldi. I like a good glass of wine, but

most times it will mess with my hormones

and my face looks like its on fire...

plus, a burn when it goes down 

the throat.

HOWEVER, no burn with this

and the flavor is one of 

my favorites. 

They have other flavors that I might 

have to try out.

I saw this on FB....gave me 

a good laugh. 

I saw the camel but now I 

can't unsee the mawmaw

toppled over!

Walked thought a antique store

last week, I love looking at 

Christmas decor and how it is 

displayed.

The season is growing nearer and

nearer! Gifts bought? Wrapped?

House all 

decorated for the season?

Here, gifts have been bought, 

they are wrapped except for a couple 

of items I needed boxes for, which I 

now have. Tree of course never got

decorations on it, but that's okay, I am

enjoying the lights. 

I had dinner with my niece Monday

night. She works for the city, in 

the juvenile section. Each year they

ask for folks to help by donating cash

or items for the juveniles that are in lock

up for Christmas. I bought up a bunch

of stuff last yr for that, and I planned on 

it again this yr. So Holly and I met

for dinner so that I could give her that

stuff, plus, aunt Pam needed a Holly 

fix! 

 

Holly is my younger brothers daughter.

We used to get together and 

have girls nights out but that 

was a long time ago and 

I do miss her.

Anyway, hoping all you are

doing for Christmas is 

about done and you have time

to chill and enjoy,

Pam
