Okay, so I thought the puzzle was solved....after 2 weeks of the weirdest of symptoms, I was finally diagnosed with SHINGLES!!!! Can you believe it?? Don't grandma's get that crap? ..........wait.......I am a grandma.......nevermind.
Well, I'm medicated and probably halfway through it, so time to move on and jump into Spring! I'm sitting here, listening to the birds, with every window in the house open! Don't you miss that in winter? Open windows! We've been tinkering in the yard......I say tinkering cus I was too lazy to actually work.....and slowly but surely, all residuals of winter are disappearing, including the heated bird bath.
I feel a renewed spirit........and blessed that I have shingles.
"If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. " ~Nadine Stair
Living in the moment.....but waiting patiently for the bumps to go away!
