Foggy Morn, Foggy Days In August, Rosemary, Chase, Kyle, and Chase Again
Yucky morning.
Foggy.
wise tale about amount of foggy
days in AUGUST?
The old wives' tale states that for every foggy morning
in August, there will be a snowfall during the upcoming winter.
The first of August I start counting
the foggy days, course by the time
snow rolls around I tend to forget
to count.
Oh well, it's just an ole wise tale.
Do you put any stock into things like that?
Now this works, not an ole wise
tale.
I love the scent of Rosemary so much that
when I started having small panic attacks,
I would use rosemary oil on a small piece of
cotton and I wore it in a necklace around my
neck. taking whiffs when I needed it. So, I was
not surprised to learn that rosemary is used
for its calming effect............................................
The scent of rosemary carries significant
meanings, primarily associated with remembrance
and devotion. It evokes emotional memories and
symbolizes enduring qualities that defy decay
. Additionally, rosemary is linked to love, marriage, protection,
and has been valued for its calming effects throughout history
In some cultures, it is also believed to bring good luck and health.
Now that I think back through the years,
I have always had a rosemary
plant growing in a pot usually
in the path of the doorway.
Always walking past it, I
would run my hands through it
and smell my hands.
Maybe there was something to it
for calming before I realized I
was using it for that already.
Today is set aside to honor those
we lost overseas in a war.
My dad served 30 some odd
years in the Navy, but we were
lucky enough to get him back but
a lot of guys never make it home.
Sending out healing vibes to any
family still in need.
Amber invited me to dinner last night,
homemade tacos. I love them.
I managed to eat one whole one.
haha...
that is good for me.
I really don't eat much.
We sit down after dinner to
watch the race that was on
the tube. Wow, I don't follow races anymore.
Not in years. My nephew Chase,
stopped racing
in 08, I pretty much stopped following it then.
With that said, " bless the family of
Kyle Busch in the loss of him".
I sent Chase a text asking if he
knew Kyle.
He said they raced
against each other a few times but
he did not know him personally.
Then I asked the question that I
have wondered about since 08 and
never asked, " do you miss it".
ABSOULUTELY was his reply.
Chase started racing at the age of 14.
Funny thing, back then, not sure about
now, a driver could get in a car and race
at the age of 14, but you have to
be 16 to be able to drive on our
roads.
So young when he started
and not a lot older when it was over.
My brother founded Montgomery Motor Sports
and Chase raced under that logo for
years. Finally, after a time, Ray informed
Chase he needed to get a sponsor, around
the same time it was discovered that
Chase carried the gene that I was
tested for that makes it through
generation after generation in
my family, that bad heart gene.
Racing came to a halt.

He is not the young boy who
I taught to drive a stick so he could race,
anymore.
He is a business man like his dad,
he runs one of my brothers companies.
He has two sons and is married.
Saturday, I oops up badly and sit here
on the day bed telling myself I
needed to go in and take
my stay awake pill. Some point
I dozed, woke and told myself
to go take it but then later I actually
thought I took it but due to the fact
I slept all day, I figure I actually did
not take it.
SATURDAY shot!
Yesterday, damp, cloudy, rainy, yucky,
and even though I took my pill
I still could not seem to wake,
I slept the day away pretty much,
got up and went to dinner at Ambers,
home and in bed in no time.
I do want to address Liz's question,
does my pain get better when it rains.
Yes, with the rain, the barometric pressure
drops and the pain is better. The whole thing
here is I can and always have been able
to tolerate pain well. Not to say that it
don't whip my ass most days, but one
of the next worse things a Fibromyalgia
patient deals with is,
Fatigue.
I could not shake that fatigue
on Sunday.
Telling myself I need to break
that spell today.
Things to do.
Hoping your Memorial Day
weekend was a great one,
Pam
