A little under the weather........

As promised, I haven't neglected my blog! :) I've been a bit under the weather. In case you didn't know, I have a blood clotting disorder. FABULOUS! Not in the least, but I do embrace it as much as possible. This week it got the best of me, once again. It tends to do that ever so often. This round was a bit different, and kind of scary. I didn't have a new clot (I say "new" because I have old clots in my left leg that have been there for what seems like forever now, about 7 years) but instead I had some crazy symptoms I've never experienced. I have slept almost all day everyday. I do sleep more than the average person all ready, but this was insane. I would go to bed at 9 or 10, which is early for me, and not get up until 1 or 2 the following day and I was having trouble staying awake the entire day. I couldn't focus, drive, and I felt very off-balance. It was horrible. My mom asked me to read something for her the other day and I couldn't. I've NEVER not been able to read something from just about any distance. So last night my hubby took me to the ER. I got a shot of blood thinner and today I feel like a new woman. WOO HOO! I'm so so glad! How ever, it's almost 4am and go figure, I can't sleep. Lol. So, that was pretty much how my week has went. Sleep took up the better half of it. I can't seem to remember anything else. My Easter was good. It was a blessing. My mom had been in the hospital Good Friday, due to a blood clot (what else!), but she got out Saturday. She was still down Sunday so my sister in law Betty cooked dinner and it was de-lish! She makes a mean chicken casserole! I hunted eggs with my niece Reanna, she's always a bright ray of sunshine. I love that kid. My nephew Chance would have joined in, but considering he's not crawling yet, he declined. :) Then the hubby and I came home and my sleep sat in. Since I've not worked on anything all week, I have been working non-stop tonight on korker bows and I must say, they're adorable! I've also been working on some flower hair clips which are too cute. My day is pretty slim tomorrow so I'll continue that project right after Art Fest and cleaning house. Art Fest is just a great little event in our town. It has some awesome work from local artist and crafters, a photo exhibit, art exhibit, childrens activities, food, and so much more. Seeing the work of all the vendors is a treat. There's such a wide array of mediums. I will take my camera along with me and snap some of the lovelies to post on here. So, until next time, God bless!
