Hope this helps i was thinking whether to send or not xx

So here I am having my crying moments etc. I so want to be with my Mum and want to see her before anything happens but, my damn health will not let me fly for the time being.

Some of you have NO idea how I feel, so keep your mindless acts to yourself OR IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY OR ASK ME SEND ME A PM YOURSELF AND DO NOT BE A COWARD!!!
Just because I do not say anything in response does not mean I do not get to hear about it.

Love and Hugs,

Two things that I was pleased about on Super Bowl 2013 was the fact that the Ravens won


AND that Beyonce strutted her stuff!

I never had much to tell last week with any update/progress on my Mum except that she was going to be living at my sister's.
Well over the weekend things started once again - emails from my daughter -

Now you all know what I know - which isn't much at this point.

Needless to say yesterday I was in a funk after I received the emails.

*****************************************************************

I hadn't been on the computer for a couple of days as Saturday we were both round the in laws house packing etc, when we got home it was time for me to rustle up some dinner and then I just sat, relaxed a bit and watched telly.
Yesterday Rocky & I went for a walk around our home, we were out for an hour and walked 99.9% of the time, so that was a good thing, I would of liked to of walked some more, but my thighs were starting to fade lol and yes although Rocky was with me I also took my cane and I am glad I did. At least we got our walk in before we got the snow!

The weather is very changeable here, never know what to wear lol
Earlier than usual I decided to go for a walk as I may not be able to later, so just after 10.20 am after I had got my hat,scarf,coat,gloves and my trusty cane all in order off I went. Stopped at the trash can 1st to throw some crap away and then started walking. I am glad I put my scarf & gloves on as it was bitter with a breeze, felt like my face was freezing lol. I stopped at the end of our driveway and took a couple of photos.
The sky at the front of our house and, the sky at the back of our house ......

I walked the same route as I walked yesterday but, I did do 2 laps of one of the loop roads we have here. Taking more photos on the way.

The Rocky Mountains from where we live - Pikes Peak Mountain with snow on it .......

I decided to walk to the office and speak with management about something. I went into the wrong door and butted in on the quilter's - lol - I just got a little disorientated, a kindly lady showed me the correct door - bless her.
After the office I went back along the route a bit and then made my way home, safe & sound.
My excursion out today was 43 minutes long and after such a cloudy start it ended up being nice and sunny and blue skies with fluffy white clouds, but now I can see the grey snow clouds again over the mountains, it has started to get chilly again also. Again I am sitting here (after my shower) with the front door open and the thermostat turned down to 64 f, as we have a covered porch/deck we do not get the head on wind as it comes through and it is so nice to be able to have the door open and listen to our bing bongs in the wind.

Later when Rocky comes home from work we shall go shopping ...... and so the day ends on that note .........

And the sun is shining, not very much warmth in it but it feels oh so nice.
Last evening it rained (something we really do not get enough of), then last night the weather was so cold it froze the rain, then early this morning it had snowed - a light dusting but it snowed. And then as if by request the sun came out and is making the snow & ice melt - the day looks warmer than what it actually is. The high temp today is gonna be about 48 f and that will be approx. be at 3pm.

I went for a walk around the MHP, again I was not walking fast - bloody Norah if I did that I would be rolling down the slight inclines we have here. 25 minutes today and I really do enjoy the walk where I go - up the road, round the corner, up the road a bit further, turn left and around that road, joining the road I was on originally, then, left turn Clyde , then left again and then left again and then I am on my road ..... YAY..... the walk was 25 minutes long and I must say a good little walk also.
Along my walk I was joined by the rain/ice/snow melting and dripping down the various other homes, I could also hear the chimes that people have hung around their homes, bing bonging in the breeze, I love that sound, we have two sets of chimes hanging up at the moment, one metal one and a bamboo one - they will be joined by a few more (one I have to make good as I found it laying in the in-laws garage a bit worse for wear). Anyway i digress a tad, as I was walking around a little road that circles back onto the road where we live, I noticed a lady saying goodbye to her visitors, when she spied me and said Good Afternoon to me, we exchanged pleasantries and I carried on. It is so nice when people say hello or Good day or whatever, the people here are nice that way and I for one would not want it to stop.

Had a couple of toasted cinnamon waffles with some marg & syrup on them for lunch, did not sit outside as the weather is changing again.

Well, I did go for a little walk
23 minutes today, was pleased with myself as I started at 10 minutes then yesterday was 20 minutes and then today.
Hmmmm I can hear some of you muttering that's not enough - Well let me tell you something, this is a feat, a Victory for me. I really have some trouble with my walking since I may or may not have MS (Multiple Sclerosis), Doctor says according to my scans etc that I definitely have some neurological disorder but as yet not fully diagnosed until I can get to see a neurologist, but at least the meds work to some degree - lol.
So I am putting myself through the walking malarkey - nothing the Doctor has suggested but me doing it by myself.
Yep I am a lil bit doddery hence why I take my cane with me for support, I am glad I do because a few times I find myself walking wobbly or I feel as if I am going to fall over - I don't - thankfully) but the feeling is there a lor of the time and I feel off balance a lot. But I am doing it none the less.
Anyway, when I got home, I made myself a cup of coffee and a Marmalade sarnie and took them out together with some Gardening books to the porch sat and ate and read and I enjoyed the sun while it was out and being warm & sunny.
At about 1.45 pm I decided to go indoors as the clouds were gathering and the breeze turned cold.
So I decided to have a nap on the sofa, I obviously dozed off cos I was woken to the damn telephone with a frickin message from California saying 'Congratulations, you have won a cruise' If I had gone in for a competition etc I would of known - so the answer phone took the message lol - let the robots talk to each other. Disturbing my peace like that.......

Tomorrow is another day and I will see how much walking I will do then.....

Gonna go and get ready and then go for a walk, earlier than the past few days but the weather is gonna be colder later ready for the wind and over cast stuff with snow nearing in - supposedly on Saturday. The sun is shining at the moment and will be a high of around 52 f, a bit cooler than yesterday. So me and my wrapped personage and my cane will bid you adieu for a while xox
