BLUES SKIES OUT TODAY. I will take a drive to get out of the house some for a short time. I've been indoors for over 4 days and need some fresh air. I have no desire to be around people right now as I am still not feeling the best, but I'm craving getting out of the house. I am thankful that I can stay at HOME to be a HOMEBODY, but I dread staying in my recliner all day due to sickness. I'm healing up to where I want to go outside some. I need some fresh air and an opportunity to look at the blue skies.
Hubby was kind and fixed me some scrambled eggs this morning for Breakfast. I didn't want anything else. Warm scrambled eggs with salt and pepper to season them and made to order. No bell peppers or onions this time.
The thought of chilled apricot juice comes to mind. Perhaps it is my body's way of telling me I need the nutrients that come from it that would help heal my sick body. Not sure I can even get this flavor of juice anymore and I don't have the energy to go hunting for it. I don't have any in the pantry. The last time I went looking for some was fruitless. Pun. None to be found until I was visiting my Mother and stopped by to see my brother in Peabody. There in their tiny grocery store were large bottles of apricot juice. I bought a few bottles and felt contented to be so blessed to find some in Orange Juice Country.
My brother has been dead for four years and my Mother has since relocated to Iowa two years ago, so it's been a spell since I bought apricot juice. Like yesterday.
Late morning, I will get in the car and go for a country drive where I can drive the car at a slower speed then the other drivers are traveling at on the highway. I am not in the mood to keep up with them. Needing to pick up some eggs and butter as we are now out, I can get a massage from the car seat while driving which will feel awesome. Think it will be my therapy today.
I'd love to take a long, hot shower later today and let the water hit my back. My strength is about gone. Taking it easy is a must. That's in the plans and I hope we can get the hooks up on the doors for the Christmas wreaths. to hang from. The wreaths can at least hang on the doors with large colorful bows.
With us being ill, the work on the porch stopped for the time being. Hubby seems eager to get back to working on the porch. When I take a peek through the windows at the new porch in progress, my heart sings. It's a darling addition to our COTTAGE. The old porch is gone as it was truly falling apart as we looked at it. It's like air hit it and down it came sagging. Hubby has spent hours rebuilding a collapsed porch foundation made out of stone. He laid the new foundation after tearing the boards out and installed new placing new column posts and spindles. He is talking about making progress on the upper wood work. In my mind I can see it finished and styling some curb appeal and function.
Each day he made progress and it shows. Running into some chilly weather and sickness slowed down the work. As he gets to feeling better, the weather will warm some and he'll be back at the porch. I am doing what I can to declutter the Dining room. Broken record.
I have got to play SANTA and write out my children and grandchildren's Christmas cards and get these in the mail. With being sick I am running way behind.
I just might pull this off after all. Lord HELP.
You know, the Lord does hear our prayers. There's a serious situation taking place with family matters. I was talking to the Lord about it this evening and said that I have to give this to you and not worry. I did and 5 minutes later a phone call came in. Relieved. Praise the LORD.
