Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2008. Mattie was in the outpatient clinic at the hospital and doing what you loved best.... creating! He was at the art table and for weeks he was working on transforming a regular cardboard box into a haunted house. With the help of his art therapists, he created ghosts and this amazing witch. However the creativity did not end there. In fact, inside the house was decorated too and ghosts were on a pulley system, so they could fly throughout the house. The beauty of Mattie Brown.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 44,424,048
- Number of people who died from the virus: 713,902
I made the mistake of sleeping until 8am today. Given how I have been feeling, I needed the rest. But there is NO PEACE here. Don't you know it that before 8am, a landscaping team help us with weeds, trimming trees and bushes was outside our door. You honestly never know who is going to show up unannounced, which is why when Peter is on travel, I get up at 6am, so I am ready for whomever shows up.
I wish I could say that I feel 100% better! I don't! In fact the doctor herself said it will take weeks for Fosamax to get out of my system. I was happy to hear her acknowledge that for me this medication is "poison" (her own words). I couldn't agree more. For a SMALL percentage of people, Fosamax can burn one's esophagus. All I know is nothing goes down, including liquid, without generating an intense heartburn. That alone is sickening, and in turn eating isn't appealing.
Today was just not a happy day. I feel tied to this house, doing constant chores, and in the process never getting anything done. By 4pm, I had enough and I drove to the crafts store. I want a Fall themed wreath for our door, and I figure why not make one. Never made one before, so we shall see how it goes. If and when I finish it, I will snap a photo.
