As we start 2013 with a clean slate we reflect on things we will change, hopefully for the better. I for one hope to change some of my health problems. Being on oxygen all the time can be a bit depressing. Having to be hooked up to one machine or another and trying to figure out just what you can and can't do. There is a whole list of things I can no longer do because of my physical limitations. Mostly house chores. I am so lucky my husband does as much as he does without too much complaining. LOL. The rest gets done a little here and there as I can get to it. Good thing it's just us and the dog.
My doctor keeps saying that if I exercise more that I will be able to do more. I can't walk up or down a flight of stairs without being out of breath so I don't get how that's gonna happen? I remember when I was doing my hip replacement rehab, I was on oxygen then, it took me almost 2 hours to get thru what should have been a 40 minute session, not including the cold packs afterwards, and I had to up my O2 intake also. Well we will see how it goes. It can only kill me. Right? My philosophy has always been, you gotta die of something, at least I'd know what did me in.
Continuing to look on the bright side of things, I am enjoy this time that the hubby is away. He is in sunny San Diego at a convention, while I am here taking care of home and dog. I did not want to go and sit in the hotel all day waiting, then go out all night only to come back sick again. No siree, not this year. I did that the last 2 years and wound up in the hospital when I came back, both times with pneumonia. So I decided I did not want a return trip this year. Hoping not to go there this year. Got my flu shot and staying away from all the sickies! At least I have been able to catch up on some cleaning.
I am also starting the new year with some lower prices in my shop as well as some new items. I have lowered my dolls from $45.00 to $35.00. I hope this helps those of you who where thinking of purchasing them. I know we are still in tough economic times. I do not think we are done yet and that there are even more tougher times to come. While a lot of us still struggle to keep a roof over our heads, I know even more struggle to put food on the table. That is why I have decided that for every doll I sell $5.00 will go to a food pantry to help feed a family in need. I will keep a running post here so everyone can see. I hope to make a $100.00 contribution this year. With your help I am certain I will make that goal.
