Oh my what a great weekend. My days were spent doing what I wanted to do. I was a bit selfish and made my time be mine. I so enjoyed doing the projects I wanted to do and not doing anything I didn’t want to do. Gotta love when that happens.
The front curb appeal to my house is coming along but, thank you mister 50 degree nights didn’t allow me to finish my flower beds. I have all the great flowers in trays sitting in my garage. I’m so afraid to put them out at night because it’s so cold. The days are great but the nights are brutal for these tender babies. So looking at the weather and that can change daily in Texas the front yard reveal will be later this week. The front door is finished and looks top-notch. There is a great story to the color I picked and to why I didn’t replace the door as I had planned. That will all be in the blog so you will have to find out on reveal day.
Last week I blogged about a set back and with my health journey. I got lots of emails, text, phone calls and FB messages about what has happened. I know I brushed over it and didn’t tell you much. I was still waiting for final test and really didn’t have words. I went in for my yearly check up. My blood work came back fantastic! The Dr. was so please about my vitamin levels. BUT then we got to the liver levels and things went south fast. Last year the liver was good and it made no sense after a huge weight loss and hours of exercise they were up this year. I was sent for an ultra sound and it was found that I have NAFLD. What does that mean, I ask as well. It stands for Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Yes me a person that spends 15 hours plus in the gym, eats very clean and only drinks maybe 3 times a year has this. I was so upset with the outcome of this test and the way it was presented to me. The doctor was stumped as well, so many more test were run. It was found the NAFLD is VERY mild. I was asked after the first test to stop one of the natural supplements I was taking. A week later they ran another liver test. My liver count is going down fast. So I’m off of that supplement and the doctors think with my eating and continued exercise the mild liver disease will be taken care of with time. It’s common for people who have lost the weight I have lost as fast as I lost it to have NAFLD. Thank you all for your prayers and cares through out this ordeal. I have already had my one on one with God and I’m in his care.
Guest bedroom #2 caused a few questions as well. One of the biggest was “Will you sell the garden cart?” Ahh NO WAY I love this piece and if I could find another I would share that one. As for now this garden cart will stay a part of my home. The next question was “Who painted the picture of the little boy and who is that little boy?” Well it’s a water-color of my son Dallas and I painted it years ago. He was 4 in the picture and it was Halloween that is why he is dressed as a devil. If you knew him at that age it fit his personality to a T.
Guest Bedroom #1 also caused a question or two but the most ask was about the blue and wood stained dresser. Sorry but once again it is not for sale. This dresser makes the room and I love love love it. I’m a person that pretty much loves the things in my home or I don’t have them. I try not to just fill a room with things just so its full. I don’t mind waiting to find that right piece even if the room is empty for a while.
I hope that I answered all the questions you had and I hope that you will come back this week to see the front yard reveal. I’ll keep you up to date as to when it will be and how our crazy weather in Texas is going. If you are a person that doesn’t care for Monday try to look at tomorrow in a different way. It’s the day that you can reboot your week if last week wasn’t so grand. It’s the day that makes or breaks the rest of your week. It really is a blessed day and the best day of the week. Have a Blue Happy Monday!
