Even though we all know that life could hand us all things that are much worse, sometimes you are entitled to complain, just a bit, so you get a pass.<br />Funny, I looked at a very sad basket that would have been perfect for bread EXCEPT for the fact that it was dirty and the finish was worn. I decided I didn't need another project, but your post made me think about it again. I could have really given it a good wash, since it was willow and I think wetting those types of baskets is a way to reinvigorate the material. Then, I could have oiled it after it had dried out...and I think it would have been fine, especially if I used a napkin to line it...your solution really improved the look of it. What about oiling it to feed the wood?suzieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883115039145453043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-60777595023632707502017-10-13T15:59:10.210-05:002017-10-13T15:59:10.210-05:00If I could edit the above I would...The best anti-...If I could edit the above I would...The best anti-flammatories are Vit C, Bromelain, Cucurmin and Turmeric. etc. This combination is a powerhouse.

Thankyou for always sharing what is happening in your daily life. I think it's just so important that we be transparent with each other. Our readers need to know our lives are not perfect, and in sharing those things we can help and encourage each other. I'm just so concerned for you, and all that you are going through. Please know that we all care and lift you up in our prayers. This autoimmune stuff is so pervasive and systematically tries to bully our bodies. I'm seeing just how far back all the inflammation my body has been dealing with actually goes. My inherited cardiovascular disease is most likely autoimmune in nature and that scares me, because I've not yet been "diagnosed" or treated since I don't have the antibodies, even though my symptoms are pervasive. Keep talking Jane! and yay, the AC was installed this afternoon!Debra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-81840518043126479012017-10-12T22:14:35.284-05:002017-10-12T22:14:35.284-05:00Hi Elizabeth, I really am so glad to hear about ot...Hi Elizabeth, I really am so glad to hear about other people and how they are handling the neck, back, and head issues with chronic pain. Exercise makes my pain intolerable, I've tried and hoped that would help. What I've learned that there are so many possible reasons for these symptoms, and each avenue seems endless.

You said it perfectly, when someone has a chronic health problem it "cripples both the body and spirit". I hope you're at a place where you are improving with your back problems.

It looks great by the window that stool, throws & pumpkin. I was cautiously optimistic you'd have a better outcome with the steroids, and keeping you in my prayers for answers.

However, from one who deals with chronic pain from spinal stenosis and degenerative arthritis, I can identify with you all too well. I had a cervical fusion a year ago this past June and have not had a migraine since. I also have a weekly massage and do two weekly sessions of Pilates and this helps tremendously. Staying as active as possible helps. So hoping you find a resolution to some of the physical problems that are giving you so much grief. Always enjoy your blog.Elizabeth "Libby" Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145264016754286426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-2887351930625324622017-10-12T00:04:23.372-05:002017-10-12T00:04:23.372-05:00Debra,

And your kitty is precious!<br /><br />I talk so much about my autoimmune problems, but seriously I'm a walking bandaid. Monday morning I tore a huge part of the cornea of my left eye due to the dryness caused by the injections I give myself for the autoimmune problem I have. Sorry-this should be an email but I'm writing with one eye! I've also never mentioned to any extent the problems I have with my lower back. Numerous disc herniations pressing on nerves, sliding vertebra, and from comparing MRI's from a year ago, to 3 weeks ago, it's progressing at a fast rate. Depending on how I look in 6 months, I may need a fusion. Seriously---I'm 57 years old, I am so worried I will be walking with a cane in 2 years and not be able to pick up my grandchildren. Okay-I'll stop my violin. But I wish you well as always. I am a very caring ear for you, as you have been for me. <br /><br />I hope you cool off soon. We did, and now we have a lot of rain. I'm happy because we had a huge amount of landscaping done and the Gods are on my side!!<br /><br />Love and hugs,<br /><br />Jane <br /><br />Blondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-50224205327491219982017-10-11T22:14:20.563-05:002017-10-11T22:14:20.563-05:00Hi, Debra!

I suffer with chronic spine issues (I've had a complete fusion, a partial fusion, and numerous "procedures" over the last 3 years including all those wonderful steroids being pumped into my spine without positive results), so I understand where you're coming from. It's annoying at best, crippling for both body and spirit at its worst. I hope you are able to get to the root of the problem and find a solution that will bring you peace. I'm also sorry to hear about your AC shooting craps. I like how you were able to put it all in perspective, though. You exhibit great compassion! Last, but not least, GREAT JOB on restoring that basket to glory!!! I never would have guessed it was for fishing at all! (Maybe that's why Miss Jenkins is so fond of hanging out near it!) You did a really terrific job on it! Best wishes for a peaceful, pain-free, cooler fall!Alycia Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690591304562176674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-75625410815032581212017-10-11T21:46:05.511-05:002017-10-11T21:46:05.511-05:00Really cute !!
