The format looks entirely different and I have no idea
what I'm doing. Let me explain...
Out of the blue, out of no where, for no rhyme
nor reason, I got this message, "Unauthorized user." Remember, I am White Lace
and Promises. Thing is, White Lace and Promises was no longer my property. I
could read everything I had written, but I was not given access. "Access
Denied." I started Vintage 901. Strange thing is, the title White Lace and
Promises is what I still see when I pull up my dashboard. The craziest thing. It
was complicated. I lost my followers.
Alot has happened. I'll try to do a quick update.
After I left the nursing home, I went to work for
Easter Seals. I kept two boys in their home. One of my clients was an adult with
Down's Syndrome. My other guy was a 30 year old young man with
Paranoid-Schzophrenia. I worked with them for 1 1/2 years before moving back to
Georgia. I have 5 grandbabies instead of two as you'll soon
see. Yes, I left my heart in TN when we moved back to Georgia in January of this
year.
Over a year ago, our friend, Debby Ray moved to TN and we got to connect.
My blogging buddy was everything I thought she'd be and we hit it off
immediately. She was beautiful, inside and out! The cancer had began to take
over her body, she had lost her hair, but she was absolutely stunning. She felt
good that day! Her son had arranged for us to meet because he said, "I don't
know how much time she has left." It was a complete surprise to her. I will
forever treasure the day. My heart is broken that we didn't get to spend years
together, but I feel like we did through our blogging. I pray for her family
often.
A couple of weeks ago, I went to Nashville to help my daughter, with the
baby, well he's almost 3 now. You haven't met him. Our precious, miracle-baby
Harper (almost 7 now) has had some seizure like activity several times. Each
time she had a fever and the doctor called these episodes Febrile Seizures. The
last couple were not fever-related. A trip to the ER, the doctor and a
nurologist and she was diagnosed with "Generlized Epilepsy." She was to have an
MRI and then Covid! I'll try to make this short. I was sick in March with Covid
symptoms. My husband and I had elected to take the vaccine. (No opinions,
please) I received two negative tests but I was as sick as I have ever been.
After two xrays and an MRI over the course of a month, I was told I had "Covid
Lungs." But no Covid. Go figure. Our daughter and her family got sick the day
after Harper's EEG and diagnosis. It was been hard week. Everyone who was around
them tested positive. Two more COVID tests and I am negative! Praise God.
Because of my weakened lungs from pneumonia in May and asthma, I've felt like I
had COVID. We're all getting better. Today I could actually breathe. I know
there are opinions about the vaccine and believe me, I struggled with my
decision. We took it because of our children and our health issues. I'm really
glad I did. I can't imagine what it would have looked like if I had gotten
Covid. This is the last day of quarantine for me. I'm kinda weak and it will
probably be tomorrow before I get out. Thanks, Cindy, for the blog post that
made me want to blog again.
Just before I went into quarantine, I started a booth again. This is what I have so far. I'm excited to get to share my findings and to try to find my creative niche again. Hope you'll journey along with me!
Anyone else ready to Spring Forward? Oh my goodness! Just enough nip in the air to feel like an early Spring day. The trees around Georgia are beginning to bud. I've missed my babies so much the past couple of weeks but this afternoon I feel a little lighter. It will be Easter weekend before I get to Nashville but I found this sweet little idea to make with the kids. We can go on a scavenger hunt and each Grand can create their own unique design. I've not done much in my booth for Spring. I had a yard sale and this is how the carport still looks. I may have made $40. Ugh. It was cloudy day so, oh well. I'll price it all and put it in the booth this weekend. The littles are doing ok. Our youngest GRAND girl, Claire has to wear a patch for a weak eye. I think she's gonna be fine. She certainly daddy's girl. She was excited about going to his office. Our oldest GRAND girl, Cora, made the All-star team in basketball. She's a natural. She...
I am thrilled to pieces to welcome you back to blogging!! Dear friend, I am so glad you are feeling better. Yes, had you not gotten the vaccine you could have been very very sick, my opinion. 😊
ReplyDeleteI know of another little girl who gets seizures with fevers. It's so scary! I really hope Harper and her parents can get some answers and direction in how to best treat it. It's hard to be far away when they are hurting, hugs!
I love your booth...please keep showing it! You have a tremendous talent for finding neat stuff.
I am sorry you and your family were having health issues. I also got the vaccine, I respect everyone who gets it or chooses not to. Personal choice in my opinion! I love your booth, please share where it is:) Enjoy your day and continue to heal. I will be praying for Harper! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Lots has happened.
ReplyDeleteI took the vaccine too - and then I got covid. I was also so sick, but didn't have to go to the hospital. I'm good now.
Sorry to hear about Harper. My son had seizures as a child but grew out of them, pray she will too!
I love the booth!

ReplyDeletegot the virus, that's terrible. And I'm sorry you weren't feeling well also. I'm pooped,
