A Dime at a Time

RLS and Estate Woes. More catching up.

December 18, 2021 By: Lucy6 Comments

My RLS (Restless Legs Syndrome) kicked into high gear again last Summer. Everything was pointing to augmentation, which is a worsening of symptoms after certain medications have been started. Having gone down this road before, I knew I needed to gradually reduce and get off of these medications. To keep what could be a long story short, I had to reschedule an appt with my neurologist due to it falling on the same day as my MIL’s funeral. After placing a call to my doctor and explaining what was going on, he called in a refill for an opioid I have been taking as-needed. [Read more…]

Sorry, no pictures yet of our new work shop. I keep getting this error: “Post-processing of the image failed likely because the server is busy or does not have enough resources. Uploading a smaller image may help. Suggested maximum size is 2500 pixels.” ~ I’ll keep trying! Meanwhile, I’ll also keep working at getting my blog up-to-date. I’m getting closer by focusing on the highlights. [Read more…]

Cabin Makeover

December 16, 2021 By: Lucycomment

Super windy day in my neck of the woods. It has been touch and go with the internet and even my phone. Thankfully no power loss. Hopefully I can get this post written before losing any service. Getting right to it…

The one thing we have lacked since moving to our home 6+ years ago was a work shop for Hubs. Our plan was to “someday” build a 30 x 40 foot barn. We even went as far as getting some quotes. Well, plans can change and with purchasing the property next door, ours did. [Read more…]

Trying this again!

So much for getting my blog up-to-date. Today I will try again. We shall see how this goes! I think I’ll focus on what I consider “the big changes” in our life. My last post was related to Hub’s job change in October of 2020. He is still with this company, and the job continues to go well. [Read more…]

Job Change: A Blessing in Disguise

April 22, 2021 By: Lucy10 Comments

Late September/early October brought a big change, with Hubs accepting a new position with another company. For those of you who might still recall, it was questionable how long Hub’s would have a job as contract negotiations were not going well, and there was very little sign of one being renewed. Hubs has never been one to jump ship, so he planned to see his job through to the end. There were a few extensions, along with a smallish bonus offered to those who would stay until the end of October. But then late September, via a friend, Hubs learned of a new position opening up. We truly believe God had a hand in this, especially since Hubs wasn’t yet looking for another job.

A long overdue post

April 19, 2021 By: Lucy8 Comments

Hi. It’s me, Lucy. I can’t believe it has been over eight months since I last posted. Worse yet, I’m not even sure how I let this happen. Writer’s block, Covid, my dad passing, med changes for my RLS, increased hours with the kiddo, general life changes…honestly, I’m not even sure. The thing is, I enjoyed writing and connecting with those of you who would stop by. So why and how did I let this happen? I am entirely answerless. [Read more…]

Always busy doing something!

August 10, 2020 By: Lucy6 Comments

Busy~Lately, I am beginning to feel like that has become my norm. My mom used to tell me that I create work for myself, and she sure was spot on with those words! The majority of the “create work” part is from all the gardening I’ve been doing. The beauty, however, is that when you enjoy what you are doing, it doesn’t feel like work, so I keep on going!

The Weekend

July 26, 2020 By: Lucycomment

As I kind of expected might happen, the kiddo’s mom asked me to come in for a few hours on Friday. I ended up working four hours, which helped make up some of the time earlier in the week. I also worked my usual five-hour shift on Saturday. [Read more…]

Back to Work!

July 22, 2020 By: Lucy4 Comments

The kiddo’s mom received the all-clear from her job, so that means I get to go back to work, too! I’ve missed the little stinker! Aside from that, I’m also glad that no one became sick with the virus. [Read more…]

Critters

July 20, 2020 By: Lucy6 Comments

A woodchuck (groundhog) seemingly has made a home somewhere on our property. The first sign of this critter was several of my plants all but destroyed. At first, I blamed it on the deer but now am more convinced the groundhog is to blame. I’ve seen him/her multiple times, with the last time it heading under our deck. Aside from plants, groundhogs can be very destructive in so many other ways. Since I don’t have the heart to shoot it, I ordered a live trap. And yes, where we live, it is legal to relocate these pests. [Read more…]
