September 13, 2026 Sunday

Greetings!  Even though it is likely that no one will read this--lol!  Blogger has quit letting me know anyone I follow has posted a new blog or that anyone has commented on my blog ever since last Tuesday.  This is the worst glitch ever and lasting way too long.  :(  But I shall post as usual if I am able.

Liam reorganized my frig and put up these two huge art pieces I uncovered while unpacking that he and Ian made long ago when they were 5 and 8 years old. 

They got a kick out of seeing them and of how much room they took up on Gramma's frig--lol!
This heavy wooden step stool I used to reach the shelves over my washer and dryer at the old place I have been using as Allie's assistance to getting up on "her" red chair.  But it is a hazard to me during the night on trips to the bathroom--especially when I was coughing my head off.  Bumped into it again a couple of times since I've had this cough.  That stool was the cause of my second fall since I moved here.  Too risky.
So I decided to donate it.  Got a lightweight, plastic, smaller, collapsible stool for Allie to use that will be less likely to trip me.
She won't set one foot upon it.  Oh well.  Maybe time will work its wonders.  I'll give it a while.

Been a quiet week because I am still sick and had to cancel the lab for the rheumatologist and the eye surgery has been postponed until October 19th.  I am off of the methotrexate, though!  That is a good thing.  I didn't have to wean off of it, so I have been off for a week and a half.  My mouth sores are pretty much gone and I have been sleeping 9-10 hours for the past four nights!  I've been able to get up during the night to make a bathroom run and not have to stay up and cough for an hour--tada!  So--yes--I am on the mend again.  Let's hope this time there is no relapse, eh?  Fingers crossed and say a prayer.  :)  

The weather has actually taken a turn toward fall.  We have recently dropped down to the 70s during the day!!  So nice!  I have been able to crank the window open for Miss Allie since Saturday.  According to my phone we aren't even supposed to hit 80 for the next couple weeks!  Finally!  I am ready for my favorite season for sure.
Here's Allie giving me that look over my taking away her big wooden stool--lol!
Saw her head swiveling about watching something in the window well.  I was afraid it might be a lost bunny...
...but it was a damselfly or a dragonfly flitting about in the widow well.  I know you can't see it very well sitting there on the wooden ledge, but I tried.  ;)
I finally was in the studio this weekend.  One of those tasks that takes up time but you can hardly notice the change.  Went through and downsized all those supplies into smaller containers so they take up less room.  Made me very happy to finally be back in there again and getting my hands on art supplies, anyways--lol!
Well, that's about it from me.  I hope Blogger will post this and fix these big issues for us really soon!  I feel cut off from the world...from my world...my blogger family!  If anybody sees this please let me know.  Till next week...
