Re-defining the Rabbit Hole

I have been off of the grid for a good long while. Many things have happened in this life that I have dubbed "down the rabbit hole"

We have gone through even more changes. I am now on disability and staying at home, both a negative and a plus. All I have ever wanted to do was be able to stay at home and once that decision was made, the adjustment was so much more than I ever expected it to be. When you have nothing pushing you to get out of the bed in the mornings, you find that you just don't.

I'm not a huge Martha Stewart fan, but her show comes on at 9 a.m. and I do enjoy the things that they do on her show, so I get up for that. An hour, a couple of cups of coffee and I'm usually good to go.

Since my last post I have had so many surgeries, two of them very major, with the major set backs that go with them. Recouperation has been long and tedious. I have been both tortured and mutalated due to the radiation that I received during my cancer treatments. I have had everything but a small part of my colon and my kidneys removed from my abdomenal cavity because all the soft tissue was so damaged. So much for survivor.

I have survived so much more than cancer. I have lived to meet yet another grandchild, a sweet 8 month old by the name of Ella Suzanne Clinard. She is a little doll, so happy and laid back. We are truly blessed.

I still knit daily, now I putter around in my yard, working on starting next years garden, getting back into the habit of cooking evening meals and learning to make cheese.

I'm glad to get back to this, I feel that I have things to share, I've been on quite a journey in the last two years. Learning how to be "retired" reveals something new every day. People think you have loads of time to do lots of things, when actually you are busier than you have ever been. How did we do all of this and work to ?
