Love Forever

Love Forever by skye01 My love for you is forever and forever and ever. It has been forever since the dawn of time. For we have been together throughout many lifetimes. As Soul Mates we have traveled together for eons. A Love unseen but felt and heard on the whisper of the heart. Surrounded by this Love completes my soul and all my wants. For what more could one want than total love: complete and unconditional lifetime after lifetime until all time should end. Drifting on just one kiss. Knowing... Sign in to see full entry.

An Afternoon with Jax

Today was a special day with me and the Jax. We had several hours of free time to get caught up on Jax time. What worldly treasures has he missed in his two short months upon this earthly plane? Spaghetti westerns it turns out held his attention for the longest. Engrossed in the opening credits was he and the gun fight over the child. Or was just the presence of the Clint. For now we'll never know and will have to wait for words to be spoken by Jax. Until then Granny will take videos and speak... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunny Skies this Week

he Sun is out this week. It rained all night and melted the snow. We have 60 degree weather this week. Rick and I are still on couch duty except I got me an air mattress to sleep on. Due to the snow the electritian is a week behind. So the circuit breaker box can't be put in until next week and then the heat pump can be done for Rick's Mom's house. The contractor took the old coal furnace out today. It has been nice having her here but I am ready to get back into my bed. She is anxious to get... Sign in to see full entry.

Snow,Snow, Snow

We have more snow and now it is snowing again. Luckily most of it did melt yesteday. Rick got to work safely but he said in the 30 years he has lived here this was the worst he had seen. The first day of snow when he got home,Snaz had to push him to get in the driveway. Well, my picture list will not let me add picures. It says I don't exist So I will describe. We got 7-8 inches of snow. Today is supposed to be our last snow for awhile. Sign in to see full entry.

Ilumination of Pathway???

To say I have been at a loss these past months would be an understatement. I have no job anymore. The question of who am I looms like a heavy dark cloud. What path am I to take? The path I want to take as a Healing Touch Practitioneer seems blocked. I, on the other hand, have not had the energy for self care let alone conveying energy to anyone else. After reading an article about one woman's journey with Fibromyalgia, it dawned on me that I am back at square one with the Fibro. So, I now know,... Sign in to see full entry.

Let it Snow

Because it is gonna snow and snow and snow and be cold, cold, cold. So Im glad I don't have to be out driving in this snow. Although I do miss my job. In the mean time, I am getting certified in Meditation. I will be able to get this cough and Fibro undercontrol. Actually I'm not coughing everyday now, I still have my bouts of coughing. I don't have any real triggers except for eating and being around cigarette smoke. This week was the 5th aniversary of my Mom's transition. I can't believe it... Sign in to see full entry.

Rest, Rest, Rest I Am So Tired of Being Tired

Just when I was almost cough free and feeling a little more energetic, Rick got a virus and felt really bad with a sore throat and just worn out. Guess who got it next? Yep. Been sleeping for the last two days coughing and glued to the couch. It is snowing again so glad I'm not out in it. On the up side, Jax gained a pound in a week. He is now 7lbs and 5oz. Brooke held the phone to his ear while I talked to him and he just smiled she said. He is so cute and loves to cuddle. He gets cuddled alot.... Sign in to see full entry.

A Night at the Opera or Rather a Night at the ER

I was the only one singing or coughing rather. I have never coughed so hard and for so long in all my life. I tried all my home remedies and breathing treatments and inhalers and CPAP but relief was not for long. Rick tried to get me to go earlier but I kept saying it would get better and that they couldn't do anymore than I was doing. Finally at 4am I relented and woke him up. I couldn't get my breath. More breathing treatments and cough medication and an x-ray to rule out pneumonia and an... Sign in to see full entry.

The Christmas Party

We had the company Christmas party yesterday. I was invited even though I have retired. It was very nice. They named my replacement as area coordinator. They passed out tablets for charting on the road so one wouldn't have to spend their evening charting. Unfortunately in this area, there is no signal where we go so they have a nice new tablet to chart on at home. Anyway it was very nice to see everyone and find out the member's I gave up are still asking about me. I just found out one of my... Sign in to see full entry.

Officially Retired

As of today I am officially retired but was told if I ever wanted a job I could have mine back anytme. The coughing is getting better the more I stay in and I am quiet. Iwent to acupuncture today and had a detox reaction. So I came straight home and wrappd up in my electric blanket and went to sleep. Today was Snaz's birthday so he wanted Gregg's Pizza. I called and preordered for 3 and we met Rick at Mamaw's house and had a birthday party. All need to do now is get my house rented. I have 2... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking Matters into My Own Hands but First

Yvette and Jaxon Neil at the Covered Bridge in Elizabethton. Well, it was back to the dr. Tuesday. I've been spiking a temp 100-101 every day for over a week. The cough has been constant for 3days now. My lymph nodes are enlarged and I am so so so so tired. I don't have Mono but don't know what I do have. The FNP wanted to give me more steroids and when I refused because of he 20 pounds in 2 days I put on she got upset and told me I shouldn't be eatting so much. I told her I hadn't and she...

Winter is on the Way

We are to get 1-4 inches of snow tonight. Thanks goodness I can rearrange my schedule. Tomorrow I plan to stay in. It rained all day today. Cold, wet and chilling rain. I opted not to curl my hair which was a good choice since I got soaked putting groceries in the car. I had to go get ingredients for cornbread dressing for Rick's Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow at work. It turned out really good. I used a turkey thigh and chicken gizzards for giblets. I made gravy for us for supper. I didn't have... Sign in to see full entry.

Whooping Cough and Baby Shower

Only 50 more days of coughing to go. Or so I'm told. I am worn out. I has to go back to part time because I'm so tired. I am only working 3 days a week now. Sometimes four if I have to cut my 4 hour day short because of coughing so much. If it doesn't get under control soon, I'm going to be an alcoholic. I was told to use Rock and Rye Whiskey with 2 parts wbiskey and 2 parts honey and 1 part lemon juice. Well, that didn't do so well. I went to 2 parts whiskey and 1 part honey and 1 part lemon...
