Not much to say

Can you imagine that?  When in the world do I have nothing to say.

We are still in a holding pattern.  Waiting on more blood work, more tests, adjusting meds, etc. Last week, they started Heather on another supplement and her body had a bad allergic reaction. So in addition to everything else, she is now covered in hives and feels even more miserable.

I think this picture kinda sums up the last month.  Heather sleeps a lot - which is a good thing for her mono.  The picture also shows my shadow hovering over her while I snap this picture of Pearl and Heather sleeping.  I wasn't one of those hovering helicopter parents - but now that she is living at home, I do find myself watching her while she sleeps.  It is hard to watch the nerves twitching, but when she is in a deep sleep I know she is getting some rest, she is unaware of her pain, and those cute dimples - well, they just make me smile.

 
When she has the energy she has acquired a new hobby - painting furniture with Annie Sloan chalk paint.  The paint is amazing.  You don't have to prep the wood - there is no odor to the paint - just a few strokes and voila - a new piece of furniture.  Very therapeutic, fun colors, and she gets quick results.  Unlike this damn Lyme holding pattern that we are in.





Oh I just remembered something else - we moved some of her NYC furniture from the storage unit into her "suite."  She now has approx 700 sq ft of space that has her king size bed, large TV, sofa, chair, and armoires for her TONS of clothing, shoes, and purses.  It reminds me of her first NYC efficiency - except now she has a fireplace and a view of the lake.  Nothing like laying in your own bed and watching your wonderful (not) reality TV shows on a 55 inch screen instead of 32 inches.  Size matters right?  Wow - this went downhill fast.

That's all for today - hope you are enjoying this wonderful spring weather as much as Pearl is.  Not sure the chipmunks are enjoying being chased, but Pearl is reigning over her kingdom quite well.
