Update on Life…

2009 June 24

I haven’t had a chance to blog, in what feels like forever. Sorry that I haven’t been reading or commenting on any blogs.

Just thought I’d give a quick update on everything.

All I wanna do is sleep! Between work and everything else I have been just tired. I told my husband I feel like a giant spaghetti noodle.  :)

As most of you know my Gran see’s the specialist on July 1st. He will tell her what the options are and she will decide what she wants to do from there.  I’m a bit worried. I’ve noticed her feet and ankles swelling and her breathing seems different. I asked her to tell her doctor but she won’t. She said she’ll see him on the !st and tell him then. I don’t agree with that, but I don’t know what to do. So, I made a few calls and my Mother and middle sister will be going to visit her tomorrow (if all goes as planned) and I hope they can convince her to go or at least call and tell them about the swelling.

She was given a Petalite Crystal last week so I am making a wire cage for it tonight. That way she can wear it on her chain necklace. Tomorrow she is going to a class on singing bowls for chakra’s. 86 years old in a few months and there is still no stopping her! Inside, I am so scared, but I don’t want to be a downer to her. So, I just pretend everything is great. She keeps saying it’s nothing and that even if she passes on, that she’ll be back.  Conversations like that just don’t feel right. Sometimes reality hurts!

On another note, our garden looks like it is doing well. We ate the first of our treasures tonight. Radishes, fresh picked. They were so good. I’ll get some pictures up soon. My husband and middle sister are having a broccoli-off. None of us has grown broccoli before, and those two compete at everyting they do! So, now the competition is who grows the biggest, best, broccoli. We e-mailed her pictures the other day, but she still hasn’t told us how hers is doing. I guess we’ll have to take a trip up there and nose around!  ;)

I bought 3 aloe vera plants and am going to try to make my own aloe juice instead of buying it. That way I’ll know exactly what I am drinking. I also bought a stevia plant since I read about this. (Monsanto and sugar)

That’s about all for now. I have company coming over this evening. I don’t mind company, it’s having to wear a bra all night that kills me! Isn’t that the first thing every woman whips off as soon as she gets home? :shock:

Taking a few days off…

had a bit of bad news (about a close relative) recently. And just want to take a bit of a break.  I’ll be taking a few days away from blogging. Be back to explain later.

Have to rush out for the day but I saw this guy being interviewed on TV and talking about his movie. Haven’t had a chance to watch it yet.

It sounded interesting and I was shocked about some of the things he said on the show. (I think he said that in at least 13 States it is illegal to say bad things about food corporations)

Now I have to wait until tonight to watch this! Grrrrrrr…

UPDATE:

I didn’t see the whole interview, so I didn’t know this is a documentary.   Cant wait to see it!
