Its Been a Minute

 In theory I am in my sewing room cleaning and purging as it has yet again gotten out of hand and needs to be beaten into submission. In reality I am taking some time to do a blog post because its been a minute since I last posted anything, I have had an interesting December, one in which I scared the beejeebus out of everyone I know and myself most of all.

I got sick, really sick, the don't mess around get to the hospital sick and I did not realize it. I'm not going to go into deep detail as I am sure I have told everyone and his dog the story, suffice it to say I am more grateful than I can ever say to my wonderful friends who watch over me. They came, they saw, they called the ambulance and I was in the hospital before I knew it. I stayed there for two weeks while I got back on my feet. I am home again and while I have come a long way, I am still weak and tired and I play out very easily. 

The Carpenter and Busy came to stay with me after I got home and worked like rented mules cleaning my house. All I can say is it was a filthy mess but its not that way anymore. The last three years have been harder on my that I realized and I let things get on top of me. I knew it was happening but it was just so much easier to ignore the day to day things one should do. Skim the surface and keep the black hole I had fallen into a secret than to face it all.  

I am so very blessed with my family and my friends. I have no idea what I did to deserve them but I am grateful beyond measure that they are part of my life. So many thing happened here, the house has been cleaned, grab bars have been installed, a recliner now lives in my living room and a new higher toilet is in situ. They are coming back at month end to enlarge the shower for me. They are far more generous to me than I deserve.

This has all been done without and criticism or blame, just help and support. I am so grateful for that. I learned a long time ago one cannot die of embarrassment no matter how hard you try. I know how bad things got and I know I let it happen. This whole incident scared me to the core and I need to pull myself up by the boot straps and take better care of myself and my house. So things are in motion and I am starting on a new path. One that will be a better plan than the last one I had.

So now I am taking things one day at a time, doing what I can to keep on with the getting the house under control again. To that end I should get going on this craft room,. Looking at it all makes me want to run ten miles but I just need to do a little at a time and before I know it, it will be done,

Hopefully I get back to blogging regularly again.
