Misc. this morning...

Technically

I am supposed to be a vendor

at a short craft show this morning...

technically.

 

So not there...

obviously.

After 4 days of little-to-no sleep

fibro flaring, headache raging

and yesterday the nausea set in...

at which point I had to bite the bullet

and tell my goddaughter I couldn't do it.

I HATE disappointing a 12 year old.

But

her mom will help her and her friend

and I pray they will sell lots of their things.

Mine is sitting in their storage boxes

on my kitchen table.

I hurt so bad last night

it hurt to hold my novel I was trying to read!

Today is a little better

ahhh--the difference some SLEEP can make!

 

 

Please say a prayer or two for this beautiful gal

Her  human brother wrote that

she's having trouble standing this morning...

If you've followed my blog...

you know that

a few years back her elderly owner

decided he could no longer care for her

and was going to have her put down.

My husband and I began a frantic search

to find someone who could take her

(we have 4 inside cats and our home is up on pilings

not good for a senior citizen like Carla...

although she did live with us for week or so!)

A lady from our church came and they fell in love!

Her home was one-level with a huge fenced in yard.

Carla thrived!

It may just be a rough day for her

we've had some cooler weather...

or it may be age catching up with her

both and...

anyway--we covet your prayers

for Carla, her family and our awesome vet!

 

On Wed. night I happened to peek out our front door

and the sunset was beautiful!

I don't know what I did-

but I accidentally changed settings on my camera...

so this isn't as pretty as it was in person

but here's a glimpse to the right...

 

 

 

and here's a glimpse to the left--

that's the ocean below those clouds...

and inbetween the houses...

 

This one is from our Widow's Walk...

looking toward Myrtle Beach

 

And when I went to take the next photos...

I kept seeing these sparkly flashes of light

when the flash would go off..

HUH?

 

as you can plainly see in the other photos---

it was NOT SNOWING---

although that's what this looks like...

 

after the 3rd photo-

I realized what it was---

we have these little tiny bugs we call

no-see-um's.

A gnat-like insect

and if the wind is laid down---

they SWARM the Widow's Walk-

and that's what the light was catching!

 

There was another critter I captured as well...

 

That's the baby (aka INKY) and yes, he's on our roof--

that is 3 stories up!

 

 I DO NOT like to watch him out there!

It makes me terribly nervous--he loves it tho!

 This pic looks spooky!

The flash reflected off his eyes---

 

On another note...

Baby Liam is officially HOME!

He left the NICU earlier this week

and is doing well!

Thank you for your prayers for him!

He's my "nephew's" first-born

and had quite a rough start

but is doing fine now.

 

That's it for me today.

I gotta take it easy---

I may try and label and repack

some of my craft stock

and/or make a couple of cards I need to do--

but I think it's going to me and the bed or couch

or lounge chair on the deck

for the bulk of the day.

Not much choice given how I feel.

Praying the new meds will help

but it's going to take some time...

 

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
