A shadow shot...

We were down to see Tootie a week or two ago...well actually a bit more than two weeks.  We had out the fold up lawn chairs, and as I went to move it, I noticed this shadow...I wish I had composed the shot better.  But still, makes a nice colored shadow shot.  I was reminded of it when I saw  Green Comotion's shot.

Lorelei is sleeping as I type this.  I went and got her yesterday evening.  She came helped to decorate the tree...along with decorating our hearts with joy.  And she goes to bed giggling.  What more could a person ask for in life?

A little randomness...

Photo from September

 1.  I have not been in the mood to blog much...not sure why.

2.  Roger is improving some.  He has had no new places break out, and he is not itching near as bad.  We have found out that his magnesium levels are low.  We will see the nurse practitioner again Tuesday.   I am thankful he has gotten some relief, and I know he is even more thankful than me.

3.  It has rained here.  All. day. long.  And been gray and drab and dreary.  The cats want out.  They go out only to want back in in a few minutes.

 Another September photo

4.  Our Christmas tree is up, not decorated.  I love just even seeing it with only the lights on.

5.  I have been reading Call of the American Wild:  A Tenderfoot's Escape to Alaska.  I am enjoying it very much.  You can follow that link to read about it.

That is it from my little corner of the world...hoping that the rain doesn't return tomorrow.  I want to do something, but not sure what.  Not shopping! 

Falling charms the design wall

I have been messing with fabric again...just a few minutes here and a few minutes there.  Some of these are from scraps.  Some not.  I was going to make something small...but just kept making more and more blocks.  Now I have ran out of the tan/brown.  So, I either introduce another color at this point or I stop here and add borders and call it quits.

Or what I will probably do is put the blocks away.  I haven't decided what I am going to do.  I need to get busy and finish up another project.  But for right now, I am not doing anything.

Roger has been breaking out again.  It started 3 or 4 weeks ago.  We could not get him into his dermatologist till in January, so he went to the family doctor and got a shot of steroids and some oral steroids.  They gave relief at first, but a day or two after finishing the oral meds, he started breaking out a bit more.

To make a long story short, he has been through h*LL...

This is after his hands started to  heal when on the steroids.  I don't have pics of any fresh breaking out.  He breaks out in patches...there will be a place here, and a place there...

I finally got him to agree to let me call my dermatologist and see if I could get him an appt up there.  So I got up yesterday morn, and he could see the Nurse Practitioner up there.  So we will see where this leads.  She is approaching it from different angles.  She took a biopsy of the freshest place on his leg, she took a swab from his hands.  They look worse than now than when the photos were taken.

She is took blood to check several things....it will be a while before we get the results of it all.  In the meantime she gave him some steroids that he rubs on the spots, and and gave him an antibiotic ointment.  His itching is not as intense...

We had our Thanksgiving meal this past weekend...it just worked out best that way.    We are in the process of eating leftovers now for the rest of the week...LOL
