Jan. 2nd, 2019 08:47 amI just hope that 2019 is a lot better than 2018.
My sleep patterns have changed since I went off the bladder med, and I am able to start putting my naturopathic meds back into my routine. I am feeling better and getting things done. I have cleaned a bit more in the kitchen and am finally seeing counterspace after a couple of years. I am throwing out a lot of expired things, and I do believe I need a bigger trash bin. I cleaned my electric kettle and can get back to brewing tea properly. I have been thinking of just getting rid of all my furniture and putting in more bookcases, but, I would have to save a chair or two to read in. I do need to cull the biblioherd, thats all there is to it. Eliminate the dupes if I can (some are signed, some arent, and some authors are dead, so I cant consolidate)
My trip up to the VAMC friday was benefical for me. I got my stuff from Pharmacy, and I went to Rehab Medicine to see about getting an Upright Walker. I have started to use Darth Walker that they gave me after my brain surgery (and minor whoopsie) which has been a good thing on long haul walking and having a place to sit, but, I have to hunch to use it and I find I am still not that stable walking. All those nights awake watching infommercials paid off in a way, seeing the ads for the UpWalkers. I had asked my PCP about getting one, and she just told me to go to Rehab Med to ask for one. Friday I did. Much to my shock, after telling my story, showing the reading of my spinal MRI's, they gave me one. Real Total Shock. This is the VA, they never make it easy. I had expected to be given more hoops and hurdles to jump through than a competition show. So, now I have the new wheeled beastie. I am not sure if I will also call it Darth Walker, but, it might have a better name, like those Star Wars Walkers... I will have to think about this. I did ask them if they wanted the old walker back, and they told me to keep it as a backup. When I was doing show and tell with my sister, she put dibbies on the old walker.
Just trying to catch up on the things I never finished for xmas/yule/solstice, and of course, more cleaning and sorting.
Lets not forget the reading, I didnt keep a good accounting of what I read last year, between the meds and the stresses, it didnt happen. I think my reading logbook is actually under the bed, or down the side of the bed and slid under on that side. I know I read a lot more ebooks, thats because a lot of the authors I follow have been dropped by trad publishing and now self publish. Lets just say, I wont do without my shifter smut books.. grin. Or my paranormal whatever genre they fall into, or the novellas or short stories. Its being a Biblioshark, read or die if you stop!
Family is getting better, doctor appts for all have been made and everyone is moving on towards better health as it were.
My wishes for everyone to have a good year, be safe, be happy, may moments of Joy find you and remind us all of how precious our lives can be.
