It's really quite strange... a beautiful strange... when signs appear right in front of your very own eyes when least expected...

But always for reason... this I do believe.

Laughter is a beautiful  thing!

Laughter is a wonderful  thing!

Laughter is life's best medicine and the best part of all... it's absolutely free!

So... while Eric is embracing his new inner repairman skills while working on the living room window... I am making for some silly, happy and absolutely hilarious Reggae Weekend fun! Hahahahaha!

Bahhhhhahahahaha!!

Just because... it reached 82 degrees today here in the country...

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

It's going to be a very busy spring and summer as we make our way outdoors to quite a few projects that will need our dire attention. That includes trying to find this 'sinkhole' flagged to us by a neighbor that was 'supposed' to be filled by the prior owners... hmmmmm... we will see about this additional little lemon gem!

I am scheduled to see my oncologist tomorrow so they can re-evaluate everything including the ovarian tumors. That includes my cardiologist who has been flagged by the company that is monitoring my heart after experiencing quite a few episodes over the past 24-hours. At least this could possible be good news so they can continue on the path of getting me stable as possible. It's actually been nice to just step outdoors and enjoy a bit of this super nice weather... rain-free... but still I must be careful not to overstep my limits. We aren't so sure about biking this year along the many trails. But at least I was able to take in a little walk this evening. Needless to say I have a long ways to go just yet...

Here we are... almost 48-hours with the inability to actually be able to sleep... any type of decent sleep.

Between Eric making Walmart runs in attempt to find some sort of over the counter remedy and my snazzy heart monitor sending alerts from the kind folks who are watching over my beats per minute... lack of sleep. I am beyond exhausted and it's starting to catch up with me.

If one was smart.. they would just head up to the emergency room for some assistance to be pleasantly knocked out to catch some zzzzz's. But instead... I am trying my best to see if I can remedy my own lack of sleep without hospital assistance. It has not been an easy nor very successful feat so far by any means. Not when your entire body is so out of whack and that's putting it lightly.

So... after a few calls to my specialists who are managing my care at the current moment. They have me scheduled at their office to see them Thursday morning or earlier if I cannot finally get some sleep. 

In the meantime... at least I'll be able to let you know which Sleepytime tea will hopefully work for me.

Signed,

In NEED of zzzz's~

You know what happens when you have way too many thoughts running through your mind? You realize that the load of wash that you just placed in the washing machine... a very large load of wash that is getting ready to start the first cycle has your $6,000+ 24-hour heart monitor piece of equipment in it.

I may not have passed a stress test running on the treadmill at the hospital in front of my cardiologist.... more like... in need of my cardiologists assistance to get off the treadmill. But needless to say I sure the hell wasted no time getting as quickly as I could to that running washing machine after I realized holy **** did I drop that in the washing machine?!!!!?!!!

I don't know how... and I definitely don't know why I was able to successfully retrieve the equipment out of the washing machine that was already beginning the first cycle full to capacity of water and laundry detergent. Not one single drop of water was on that piece of equipment.

Yeah... I am about as dumbfounded as you are reading this!

Needless to say... having a million things on your mind can be a dangerous thing. It can also possibly be one hell of a very expensive thing.

The rest of the day I decided that I better just take it easy... even deciding to look a little bit more like myself instead of Casper the Friendly Ghost for the camera... sharing a smile which is a heck of a lot better than the frown I could have had with an expensive damaged piece of equipment on my hands.

*CLAPPING*
