2 MONTHS AND COUNTING...
AGAIN.....WHERE HAVE I BEEN...................PART 2
I've been hugging my heating pad and we are now somewhat connected...?
The pain that was in my left side progressed to the right side and the muscles there are now feeling like hot knives stabbing me all over...
From my shoulders to my hips, I'm in constant pain! There is NO place or position where I am comfortable! Standing, sitting, working are hell after 5 minutes and forget sleeping longer than 3 hours!
I've tried all of the pain killers that I can handle and nothing eases it for very long!
PoD has magic fingers and has the natural capability to massage these sore muscles and has managed to break down quite a few of the older ones but this new area is too tender to touch so I have to wait out the pain until she can get to it. Hopefully there will be some relief...?
Sadly I have had to go back on the illegal stuff and it works better than the other crap the doc wants me to take!
I truly believe that going off of it 2 years ago was not a good thing for me. The illegal stuff makes one more relaxed and all of my back aches years ago [same ones as now] had disappeared long enough for me to forget why I was on the anti-inflammatory drugs in the first place! It took forever for me to get that drug into my system enough for it to do its job on those pains, so now it looks like I'm stuck in that hell again one way or another.
I haven't been able to sit at the computer long enough to try and keep up with my work load let alone whine on my blog so I have really appreciated the few that do try to encourage me to write. And I THANK YOU!
My Moods haven't been too good!
Did have the ultra sound done on the 14 but haven't heard anything as yet.
Was surprised to have the colonoscopy done on the 19 and they were able to tell me right then that NOTHING was happening in the large intestine and the pollops that were there 10 years ago are now gone! Finally some happy news! Dodged that bullet!
WORK:
Happily my business has picked up but it has added to keeping my stress factor in over drive! I've been busy designing and the sitting at the computer is a nightmare but has to be done. PoD has been a great help and even having BillyRoo home [still not working] to do the other stuff I can't do has helped keep the mood swings with these pains at an even level.
DECORATING:
Reporting on the wedding on the 15th will have to wait as it will be a LONG tale of what SHOULDN'T happen at a wedding. It's one that made me quit wanting to be a wedding planner as a side line!
This is as long as I can stand sitting here and I hope this doesn't sound too spacey. It's 3:00 am right now, in tons of pain and I need to sleep BADLY!
Here's hoping I can and that it's longer than 3 hours!

GARAGE SALE RESULTS...
I was too exhausted after yesterday's events to blog about it...trying to keep you on pins & needles waiting to find out...:)
Besides...I had to play with them first...:)
Should have had taken my camera along, as the selection of buyers wandering around, was for my entertainment [bad karma], some being more entertaining than others with...a variety of dress too!
The day started out quite chilly, so I decided to layer my tops and keep the pants long! One not [usually] dressing for style while hunting for bargains. Some others felt different.
I don't know how this one woman managed to get up that early to do her [helmet] hair, full make-up, perfumed [stayed away from her], sparkly clothes [liked her top] with long manicured nails...kind of sticking out like a sore thumb...[meow]:)
Some came in PJ bottoms [I know it's the rage] one even wore her housecoat/slippers [it was a joke...I hope]/coffee. All she needed was curlers in her hair with a smoke hanging out of her mouth...you get the picture...:) Come to think of it she even looked hung over....dedication or what?
Rain tried to dampen the day but only ended up annoying the sellers..."garagesailors" who "weather through" will, in any kind of weather! The day did end up "sun-shiny" and warm! I was happy to have layers to peal off!
All looked and acted like they wanted to be there [even coffee lady]. I saw some that looked like they were dragging their spouses and others [like us], looking like they wanting to bowl others over that were getting in the way...:)
Some town kids were smart and hauled a cart around to carry their "booty"!
I ran into "literly" my grandkids while they did their "sailin". At one place this kid said "hi gramma" I had to narrow my "scanning glaze" to this face stuck in front of me...it was my grandson's! I had forgotten that they were going to be there...I kind of get "tunnel vision"?:). My grandkids have grown up so much that it's hard to know what they are into [besides video games]. My grand daughter is somewhat easier as she's into the "girly" stage and we both like shiny stuff and there was lots around. I got her 2 outfits that she picked out...AJ was happy. Boys are so much harder and JD wanted items that might involved stitches [ie: skateboard] later or PoD's wrath...:) I got him a mini Sask Roughrider Helmut/Radio/headphones [never opened] keepsake...kind of lame. A pretty [new looking] metallic cigarette/business card case for PoD or a whimsical "bear" fountain/ornament for her garden [or could go to my sis] area.. Sadly nothing for Trebor...;(
JD gave me one of his puffwheat squares...he knows his gramma needs sugar...:)
That's another thing I like about small town sales is the "kid's goodie stands"....these are the cheap refreshment/snack areas and the monies states that it goes to the kids who man them. Some sellers offer coffee for free or cheap. I never worry about buying these items in a small town...I'm not so sure about the cities. The ones that I have attended never offered this service.
As for getting what I wanted? No Red, Black or Burgundy?
I managed to get gold stuff, creamy color lace [old looking] and workable items for both functions. Added to my "chest" collection [keepsake holders for my memento hand-downs] & winter collectibles...santas & snowmen/flakes [$7.00].
The tables I enjoyed the most were the "FREE" items.
Garage sales are meant to get rid of your junk and hopefully make some money but more so, to free up space! There were those that were there just to make money...which might be the new way to go if the economy doesn't change. I still preferred the CHEAP sales!
Here's some of the stuff I got:
The rose bowls were all free and they were type that I needed...they had to have the ruffled edge.
The chest [$2.00] will get a make over...not too crazy about the flowers. I will be painting over them with black/burnished gold accents. After using it for the events [holder for the hand-outs] this will go to Billy Roo for his mementos.
The birdcage [$5.50] will become the card holder for the wedding cards/wishes for both events . I got 14 brass napking rings for [$5.00] which will go on the head table. I wanted a white slim-necked vase for the main flower arrangement near the cake and I found one thats an irridecent white/a mottled look, making it look a bit eerie [great for the "dragon" theme]...it only cost @1.00! 2 bags of metallic shreaded stuff [.50] for table centerpieces. Black metal mesh basket/heart handles for the overflow of cards or hand-outs [.25].
Other stuff: Musical Jewelery Box [2.00], Radio Shack cup warmer [a MUST for me] [.25], stool for drafting table [2.00] and some clothes [1 long summer dress, 2 glittery blouses].
Yesterday was: spending quality "friendship" time with an old pal, people watching, "prairiegold" finds, useful items...all for the price of $40.00!
SO.....
WHY DON'T MORE PEOPLE ENJOY THIS.....?
MAYBE I SHOULD BE HAPPY THEY DON'T!
MORE FOR ME....:)
Dodge is having their's June 6th but GSBuddy figures we should hit another town that is having their's 1st one sooner!
...so I wonder how many sleeps til "Lizned's"?

"LOCKED & LOADED"
ready to go GARAGE SALE...ING!
GSBuddy is picking me up at 8:30 am, in her TRUCK and we are heading out to the land of luse for their annual "Town Wide Garage Sale".
We get together once a year [she's the only one I have contact with from my "couples only" time] to hit this yearly event.
It's about the size of a 10 by 10 block area in a big city, but to a "small town living" person, it's a gold mine! Usually it's a one or two in town every weekend sort of thing, so one looks forward to this. Ours happens in a few weeks.
I promise to control myself
[I can hear PoD saying..."yeah right"]
and TRY not to spend too much...;)
[I can hear PoD saying..."yeah right"]
and TRY not to spend too much...;)
MY PLAN:
I would like to find LOTS of CHEAP stuff that is either dark red, burgundy, gold &/or black that I can use for my "Gothic" wedding decor and a "50th" anniversary/98th birthday celebration decor that I am doing in July & August. I'm not sure if they want me for the grad decor as NO ONE has gotten back to me... so I've decided that it's too late for them.
Son wants a large satellite dish [not those huge ones], I need something to house lots of movies but not too big, decor for the garden...
Hope it's a BIG TRUCK.....:)
Is it 8:30 yet....

ADDICTIONS:
Well I managed to get through yesterday...it was a long day! Saturdays being the worst!
My addiction drove me crazy [short trip] but I was able to hang in there... but man-it-was-hard!!!
Quite a few times I almost gave into the urge! The day being perfect for it...warm with a slight breeze...no bugs....
Thankfully not having a car helped for a bit...but there was still the temptation of what was in town...
Making a promise to myself helped and calling PoD at my weak moments worked also...
Still it was a STRAIN...to abstain from...
GARAGE SAILING!!!
Thankfully today is Sunday....NO SALES...except for the ones that only have unsellable items left!!!
My bank account thanks me also!!!
STILL....there's always next weekend....!!!!
