Entering summer updates and pics

    Well hello, and welcome to the summer that is sneaking in we have a lot of spring with so much rain this year but also the hot and humid summer. I haven't been able to pull fully from the winter gloom and depression I get. I will get in the groove of summer soon.

HEALTH

so lots to report seeing as a lot of this blog has been health-related as well as family and opinions recipes and just stuff I will start with health just saw doc and had a mammogram and last year had that smile box test that comes in the mail and both big tests came back no cancer yay very happy, waiting on my blood work to come back should hear by end of the week. I am hoping to have the arm diabetic monitored after tests and find out about my blood cancers my family doc now in charge of it because been almost 5 years cancer free. hope diabetes and cancer and liver and pancreas all come back ok so many meds and such went through my body these last several years I worry. and since the cancer, I have been weaker and have had a hard time building muscle back and am working still on breathing exercises to expand my lungs back to where they were before chemo. I use a blowing ball and also hold my breath for short times. but I will keep going because I want to keep going ya know? I feel lucky to have what I have wich is a lot to me.

Yup hey, I am also blessed to be here and well now, and have so many who care.  so still on health topics my knees and hips are pretty bad these days so I rest more between tasks and use a cane at times. but I do push I have mowed the lawn twice weed whacked done some fix-it projects and more so I am again grateful I can still do stuff and am alive. Jonathan is also waiting for test results and he still has a lot of arthritis and joint pain. Jonathan also had a nice visit with uncle ned beginning of spring which was nice.

Cozy had her first vet visit in nh and did well all good since her escape after smells and running all the way to a busy fast road to the chickens and deer and a storage business I had to pretend I was hurt and crying to get her back was so worried and angry all at once she also had 2 tics I had to remove, well now she has a new gate system and GPS tags wow I still take a deep breath now thinking of her travels that day.

WORK

Well, Jonathan still doing great at the bank he has a group he leads. We both are working on the house working on our lawn work gardening getting that extra room with dirt floor created into a sun room with floor lol which will take some time. let's see we only have 2 rooms of walls to do the rest are done painted I mean the others we will be doing something different. I am drawing a lot these days and starting photography again soon also setting up an Etsy store by the holidays we hope. depression of winter and rain and joint pain and other health stuff has slowed me a little but I will get going. I am glad I have been keeping up with gardening and lawn and such also a neighbor has helped with some big invasive and dead bush removals he is great.

Keep smiling everyone keep safe be kind 

I guess that's it for now more to come soon. hugs all
