This week children went back to school. There was an amazing solar eclipse on monday that made most everyone in the USA stop for a moment and stand in awe of what the heavens can do and God's amazing creation.
Aug. 4th jeremy turned 37. Aug. 22nd marked one month until our 10 year wedding anniversary and also the first day of fall.
I have not been able to go anywhere all summer except to my patio to enjoy the cool days we have had like today. Or to a store locally for a short ride and one date to a restaurant. Although the anemia is getting under control, there just anything to help the crohns disease and i have been swamped since the end of june with constant bad days, vomiting, fevers, near fainting spells (i nearly fell down our stairs earlier this month) fatigue and of course the never ending pain.
But everyday i keep fighting like i always do. I still get up and do what my body will let me. Keeping up on house cleaning and cooking meals daily takes every ounce of energy i have so it is no surprise i have no energy to go out for a date or a walk. But at least i have a clean house and thats ok with me.
I have felt pretty introverted this summer too. Which is not me, i haven't felt like talking to anyone but 3 people all summer on a regular basis. i have felt so bad i don't feel like talking. If you have ever been really really sick you know that you just don't feel like chatting. You just want to read or watch a movie or sleep until you are better.
We have had friends call or write asking if we can come visit or take a short road trip to see them. But jeremy has to explain that although we have the money and even the days off from his job to do these things, i am just too sick to travel even 30 minutes most days away from the house.
So to keep myself busy i have read some amazing books....here are just a few of the most recent
Blitz cat
Ready Player One
The zoo keepers wife
The dorothy must die book series which i have read 6 of the 7 books so far
Also continuing to crochet hats scarves and such for the homeless.....i hand those things out the first week of november and i have 2 big trash bags stuffed full already.
Playing music and hopefully will have my 70 yr old studio piano completely restored in another week or 2 so i can really enjoy playing it and making some new music videos.
Maybe when fall gets here in less than a month maybe i will have a few more good days and can take a day trip to columbus or some place exciting.
