...A Necessary EVIL!!

HATE - dislike intensely,be sick of,loathe,feel malice to,object to & look on contemptuously.
That's the emotions this pix evokes within me!!!!!!!!!!
Necessary evil - Cambridge dictionary (British English) states ...something you do not like doing but which you know must be done....

Since Wed. the above items have encroached into my mostly happy life!! Was using 1 of them, then Dr. added a new one, plus suggested taking 2 of the one I was avoiding....UGH! 
It must be noted that I DO NOT like drugs...I despise having to take those things,even which promote me stayin on this earth a while longer...lol
Now, these heavy-duty pain meds. seem to be controlling my ability to motivate freely! These + heating pad & my bed! Most of the last few days have been spent drugged out & confined to bed, just to ease the pain. Even simply walkin hurts after a small window of time...UGH.
Now important to know is that I have a very LOW tolerance to pain meds....if I take a mere Benedryl, I can be knocked out for 3-4hrs....so these little devils really knock me down hard!
Today is my best day so far since Wed. I've been UP & out of bed since about 7am today....YEAH! Now, that being said, I'm hoping tomorrow will even give me more "alive" time...lol
I found that if I put my heating pad in my computer chair, I can at least do this....no housework, loading dishes, and especially NO riding in a vehicle...:((   (tried that ridin thang Sat....it sucked!!) 
I truly believe these pain meds are a necessary evil...w/emphasis on the evil! The way these kinds of drugs make me feel is definitely NOT my idea of livin...lol
I cannot fathom how people can "do" drugs & live...there can be no quality of life w/such loss of usefulness & disorientation, + the feeling of no energy to move the butt along...lol  
This is my 2nd round w/hip-leg problem...believed to be a sprain or pulled muscle(s). Thankfully, these 2 have come w/loooong separations in time!
I'm lookin fwd to each day being easier to go "off" these evil thangs!!
Just sayin.....I gotta do what I gotta do---but I DON'T have to like it...lol

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

Image
I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos

MEMORIES.....of Evonne

Image
Isn't she beautiful? Such an ol' soul w/a very sweet spirit about her. This is a difficult blog to write....LIFEtime/Sista friend, and "Auntie" Evonne. It is one I must write for me. Tears already falling....it's still very raw. We spent so much quality time together thru our years. Friends, school chums, and then....she married my Uncle Herman. Wow! Now she was "legally" a member of our family. How wonderful! Our lives were so intertwined....and will always be that way. There  simply is no way to express all we shared in this blog! Evonne SHARED so very much w/me. At the top....her dear Mother....Miss Louise. Miss Louise was a friend, mentor and 2nd mother. She treated me as her own daughter. I MISS her so very much, and now, I MISS Evonne, too. As Donnie said....it SUCKS!! Evonne also SHARED her beautiful daughter--Bonnie, and her 2 grandkids. I am unable to clearly express the love and fun those 2 kids have brought to my life. All 3 of them w

Photo-HOLIC !

Image
There are many kinds of conditions which need medical attention...alcoholism, drugs, depression. However, I've not figured out what will "fix" me! I'm addicted to a CAMERA and "shootin" pictures. What "cure" is there for me? My family has chided me for years....uh oh, here comes Mom with the camera! Now, I'm even worse...haha  I now have a good camera w/Zoom that will "reach out and touch" whatever I want to capture. Now, understand, I'm a basic point-and-shoot woman. I'm toooo lazy to study and learn about light, lenses and that important stuff! Know that I'll never be more than an amateur with a desire....what's wrong with that? Retired people NEED structure to their lives!! lol  Honestly, I've "found" my niche....me and this camera go everywhere together. I LOVE catching "kodak moments" and enjoy looking for things I might otherwise pass on by without noticing. The above 3 p
