Happy 2023

 A day late. Hubby had a day off yesterday so we played games and stuff. No computer time. As always lots to talk about. Maybe I need to do 2 updates a week haha. 

Last week I worked on Hedgehogs in the Snow...

I have 3 days into this beauty now. I'm using 28ct Beige Jobelan and suggested threads. DMC and one Classic Colorworks. All the way across the design now. 

Jeremiah had a night away with Dad and Bev Tuesday. They went to two casinos and had a blast. Some other family and friends went so it was fun. Tuesday morning I woke up with a horrible head ache. Worst I've had in a long time. Wednesday and Thursday I just had some pain in my stomach. Friday we went to do laundry and groceries since Fred had the day off. I noticed I had a real stabbing pain in my lower abdomen. So I figured it was a kidney infection. Then I noticed a really bad rash on my back. Saturday morning I woke up and had Jeremiah take a picture of my back because it hurt so bad. I looked it up. Yep it's Shingles. 

We would see this commercial about shingles and how 1 in 3. I would tell mom and Fred don't worry I'll end up with it. Guess what? I did! 

I had a fun day planned so I sat down and blocked it out. I'm getting a lot more active on Instagram. I seen everyone talking about #nye12x12...

Basically from noon till midnight you pick either a new start or WIP or whatever for that hour. 12 pieces for 12 hours. I luckily had enough WIPs here so I had Jeremiah pick the order for me. Those are the ones I worked on. It was a blast! I didn't make huge progress but I fell back in love with many of these pieces. You can see my progress on them on Instagram if you would like. Jeremiah had a gaming day with his online buddies. Fred enjoyed smoking cigars on the porch. He put up tarps to enclose the porch so he is a happy guy now. Keep the cold out.

Sunday I could tell I felt worse and I was pouting about it. Friends sent a message they were stopping over for a visit. So that was awesome. Another get my mind off it kind of day. I posted on Facebook that evening and everyone who commented said Go to the clinic. I thought I could just ride it out. Fred had Monday off so I told him we better go. Sunday night though I got my New Year New Start in...

I worked on it yesterday too so this is actually 2 days worth of progress. 

Yesterday we woke up. Fred took me to the walk in clinic. Soon as the doc seen it she said Yep Shingles. So I'm on a medicine for a week 5 times a day. I notice the pain is definitely worse in the evening. Luckily Tylenol PM has helped me sleep. I woke up this morning very itchy but was able to not itch thankfully because that HURTS horrible! I am uncomfortable but I will be okay. So frustrating. I am just ready to be healthy. I do wonder if because I don't have mom to focus all my energy on my body is just catching up. I just really want to be healthy....please.

Have a great week. Happy New Year. I will back later with my plans for 2023. Love yourself. Smile.
