I’ve not done a very good job of keeping this blog current – for a number of reasons. I’ve had a lot of stuff to occupy my mind – or what’s left of it..

Speaking of that… I had some cervical x-rays taken a few weeks ago for the pain on the left side of my neck, just under my skull. I also had a blood test taken. They did actually see a brain in there, so I'm good! LOL

The x-rays revealed a bit of arthritis in the spine, but nothing severe. Just a pain in the neck. Literally. I’m on some meds to reduce the inflammation and pain. The blood test looked really good, but there’s a deficiency in vitamin D and B-12. This accounts for the lack of energy. On meds for vitamin D.

We see our Nurse Practitioner the 16^th, and I may well end up taking the B-12 shots along with Jo.

In case anyone ever asks….. Getting older sucks.

 

I spent a good couple of hours in the backyard today, getting all the damn tree branches that fell during the last few rowdy storms that passed through here the last couple weeks.

I used my faithful old electric chainsaw to make relatively quick work of cutting them up. I tossed most of the cuttings into my fire-pit.

It was almost 90 degrees out there, and I was dripping with sweat, but I got it done.

I have a lot more outside stuff to do, but for tonight, I’m staying in where it’s cool, and rendering some fun stuff for Renderosity’s swimsuit contest!

Again, I do hope to keep this blog updated more often – lots of things happening here!
