Patience. Love. And 'Good Night'...

I was reminded of this postcard on another blog...

I had originally posted a pic like this on my Y! 360 page.
Where are all the rest of the people from our 360? I miss many of them...

Good Morning-
I am way tired, and have been battling this damnable head of mine for 2+ days now...  (I really do get so tired of this all).  The lack of sleep, the inability to even fall asleep w/o resounding pain; coupled with my nasty back, and my inability to eat, doesn't help.

As I write it is a mere +4° (F).
Not too bad for these parts, but I do respect the fact that many of you are complaining about the chill in your area.
But then, I have to ask, whatcha gonna do when it really gets cold?!? hehehe
 
Don't feel bad, my own backyard looks a bit chilly too...

Yes that is Punk back by the fire-pit.
.

Then, I took this blurred one as she ran toward me.
.
.

Blurry, but in its own way, struck me as pretty too.
Besides, but this is what I see when I try to focus with this head of mine.
.
.
She absolutely loves to be outside, save for yesterday morning when she went potty before her breakfast, (5AM); then didn't even want to go out until about 2 in the afternoon. And that was out of need, not a yen to play. hehehe

Eating snow for lunch on New Year Day...
Methinks she would be awesome in a commercial for snow cones or slushes. Even with the ice cream headache! Check her face. It hurts.

She takes time to wait patiently for me to throw her Frisbee.
.

And has patience supreme when Casey isn't feeling well
.

Finally my A/C is out of the living room window.
(Yeah, we're sort of slow around here).
.
 
hehehe
I got a kick out of Casey taking the heavy end!
.
.
My A/C is one that the unit slips into a box of sorts- Not like the old ones where you had to secure the whole thing. The box is screwed to fasten it tight to the window, then just slide the works in and viola, it is secure and balanced.  No messing around with trying to level the heavy thing and get it just right.
After Casey removed a little ice from the outside, (which held the unit like glue), we got the box out too.

There were creatures hibernating in it!

I always thought ladybugs went far underground for Winter.
Now we all know better.

Casey and I went into town, doing a bit of shopping yesterday afternoon. We stopped at WalMart too for a few groceries- The lot was completely FULL, looking much like last minute Christmas shopping. There weren't even any $ales to speak of.

I took a few pics yesterday, but by the time we got back here I was way too tires to upload them.  Will do so later- perhaps when I am feeling a bit better. 

Part of the migraine, or my back?, came about an hour or two where I could not feel my legs. No panicking though, they worked fine. 
Oddly, I felt like a puppet with every step I took. 
R~e~a~l~l~y weird! 
The feeling has passed with no lingering numbness.  I'd called Kelli and told her about this crazy un~feeling I was having. She told me Tim feels exactly like that ever since his back surgery. After his surgery he also cannot point his foot toward his face, but has no problems walking either.
Maybe it wasn't the surgery that did that- maybe it's the water in Flintville. Especially since Kelli's got many newish aches and terrible pains that limit her own work with the horses and all...

Anyway, those few hours that I do nap/sleep, I must be pretty restless and toss a lot. I don't know where they come from but have noticed more than a few bruises- They look ghastly but are not painful in the least. Vitamin C is very good to ward off bruises. I am already taking 8333% of the required daily allowance for C, so am not understanding my new dark red and purple bruises. 
Call me weird. hehehe

Call me tired too. Am going back to bed for a while and hope to get some decent sleep so I can really enjoy the playoff game this afternoon. We play in Arizona. It will be fun to see coatless and sleeveless people.

Stay warm- Have a Sun(ny)day!

Love to all

XOXO
