Well, here it is mid-August....I"ve been a neglectful blogger. Once I get out of the habit it's hard to get back into it. I told myself that I needed to get going on the 101 list again. I've finished two in the past month, but the ones that seem to be niggling at me are the ones that have to do with me being more regular about blogging. It's not that I WANT to neglect my two faithful readers *wave* but.....well, you know. So, since school will be starting soon and we know that means I will have less to do (snort), I will make it an assignment to blog daily. Gasp! Maybe do another blog hop and see if anyone else wants to see what I have to say...anywho...
When we first got Bessie Moo, I was under the influence of Steroids. I could do ANYTHING! I even thought I could walk a reluctant cow 5 miles in 98* heat. (More to that crazy story soon!) But as all good things must come to an end...the taper ended and no more meds. That made me just a bit sad. I was so excited because the steroid had actually helped my Trigeminal Neuralgia seizure become less frequent. I started to feel like the "old me". I had lots of energy and got stuff done. But then it ended and the seizures came back...and I don't know if it was because I had briefly felt like my old self, that I crashed so hard...but when the pains started again and nothing was getting done and I was tired when I got up in the morning, I became very depressed. My wonderful doctor upped my seizure stuff that, though it works, makes me "unable to operate heavy machinery", like say the alarm clock. I joked about getting poison ivy again.....this was not the intention....I promise.

I weeded the front garden two weeks ago. It was a jungle. I have no idea what I pulled out and feed to the cow. She ate it all. Two days later, I had poison ivy. Obviously, that is what was in the jungle. So I've dealt with it and tried not to itch for 10 days. Today it needed to be addressed. My DH saw my one arm and urged me to go to urgent care or something. Luckily, my doctor was in and I was able to get an appointment (her last of the day!) Steroids and antibiotics. Poison Ivy with an infection. So....that's the bad news...the good news is that for at least the next 2 weeks (starting tomorrow) I might actually get something accomplished! WooHoo...Stay tuned. Also, I made a promise tonight that I would get to posting all these posts that are sitting in my "To-do" so there are pictures to go along with the stories. I'm going to date them to when they actually happened, so you might want to check back a few weeks from time to time if you don't want to miss any of the posts. I will also let you know if I pre-date a post so you can go find em!
Love y'all!
