Woolly Weekend


Today was not caffeine and ibuprofen as expected. But mighty close to it. Instead, after all the activity this weekend, I volunteered to drive some fleeces up to the mill. I'll have photos of the mill and how the fleece is processed on The Radula. The photo above is wool on a sorting table at the mill, which was about an hour and a half  to two hour drive from where I live (which turned out to be a lot shorter than I expected).

This weekend was insanely busy, and I spent very little time online, making a few reposts to Facebook before running out every day, then again one or two reposts before falling into bed early in the evening.  I've been exhausted, and today my blood sugar has been a problem, but I'm having the time of my life in the fiber arts program.

As for food, that's been kinda mixed.  I've been trying products to write reviews, and while they've been delicious, they aren't the kind of foods I'd eat every day because of my blood sugar.  On the other hand, I haven't been over-eating because I'm just to busy to even think about food from 7am to 7pm, then I'm too tired to eat too much.  Hopefully that will show up on the scale, but I am keeping stable with fruits, nuts, and sometimes some granola while I'm at work... and (confession time)  also some pretzels when my sugar starts to dip.

Right now I'm looking at three days (tomorrow through Thursday) where there is absolutely nothing on my calendar.  I'm designating it "recovery time" but I'm sure the girls will have me hopping at least one of those days.  Tomorrow is "get a job day" for Cay, but Tay might get bored hanging around the house.   Since we're broke for 10 more days (but have enough food, etc to get through the end of the month) we're not planning any major outings, but will be working a few days on the ranch, and I may try taking our dog out on the trail along the rail and see how he does with other dogs and unknown people. A lot of what I do when I'm home seems to revolve around the need to train and socialize the dog... which keeps me busy and on my feet.

Lupus Crash

The title of the post says it all.

Today is ibuprofen, heating pads, and rest.

Tomorrow is the start of the Fiber Arts Festival. Two more days of busy and the Spanish Colonial Workout.

I suspect that Monday will be ibuprofen, heating pads and rest again.
