The Road Before & After Surgery
August 28, 2017
Feeling...Burned...Out.
Mood:  rushed
Now Playing: Day 2793-Next GP Chapter... Turning Lemons Into Lemonade :)

 

Even I know...this can't go on...especially with the third round of hospital testing and surgery scheduled once again later this week.

Once my body temperature drops and necessary chemicals begin to decline. So does my energy levels and the inability to hardly move which has all been very new to me. Then its back to being stuck inside the house. Resting once again on the ole couchbed. Not only has this become frustrating as hell for me. But on days, like today, when it is super nice outside. The last thing I want to be is stuck indoors with limitations. So far, injections have provided me some temporary relief. But they only last for so many hours at a time. Then once again my body becomes depleted...right back on the couchbed...again.

At least we still do our best to catch a break when a good moment hits. I value my moments! It's during those times when we do our best to get up and rush out the door so we can continue enjoying a bit of this early fall-like weather here in the country. BEAUTIFUL! Snoreo still needs his exercise and we all most definitely need some fresh air! Outdoor air~Ahhhhhhh....

This evening we finished up the remaining sections of the hand texturized ceiling. Not only literally, using our hands, but even with the lace detailing. Talking about a once-in-a-lifetime project! Never again would I spend that much time on one bedroom. Crazy!! Of course, the end result is most certainly worth the wait as the ceiling literally does look like rippled waves of dancing water. The most appropriate bedroom theme for our new country coastal remodeled home. LOVE IT! This actually might just be our favorite room so far! It took us more than a few additional weeks. But we are beyond happy to say...It is FINITO! Finally COMPLETE!

Next it's back to tackling the living room. I started that repairing, repainting and redecorating project a little over a week ago. But health issues sometimes get in the way. Even when this entire house flipping project really has been a true blessing in disguise.

As it continues to allow me to escape life...one stroke of the paintbrush at a time~
