Oh my goodness, where in the world did this week go?! I had planned to take a couple of days off to just rest and relax, potter around home and maybe visit a few thrift stores. Well you know what they say about the best laid plans.......lol. Last weekend was wonderful, the sun was shining brightly in a clear blue Autumn sky and we went off to a near by town's parade as our daughter's dance school was marching in the parade, then performing for the judges after the march. They did really well, and a terrific time was had by all! The first part of the week started off nicely, I pottered around home cleaning windows, vacuuming blinds, washing walls.....I even managed to do a little thrifting and found this adorable little birdhouse and little silver server. I fell in love with the beautiful engravings on this server, but I can't work out what they would have used it for? Gravy perhaps? Anyone know? Anyway, the rest of the week sort of went on a downward spiral on Tuesday night. I got home from taking Princess to her dance class and thought my left leg was aching a little, I looked down and it was swollen to double! By the next morning it was still swollen and very sore to touch, so after a quick visit to our Doctor, we were sent here and there all over town for me to have tests to rule out a blood clot. Talk about a stressful day! By Thursday we had indeed ruled out a blood clot, but were still none the wiser as to what it could be. Well I have to admit, that as soon as I heard that it was nothing too serious, I just ignored the pain and got on with things like running my mum around to her Doctors for a day surgery on her eye (which went wonderfully well praise the Lord). Once that was all over I could follow Doctors orders and just rest with my leg up and take the meds he gave me to bring the swelling down. Things seem to be good now, so finally I can get back to blogging and visiting with you all! Oh how I have missed you all and have been wondering what you were all up to! If the laptop were working properly I could have popped over for a visit while I was resting, but as the laptop was/is refusing to co-operate and it was too uncomfortable to sit up at the PC, I just had to stay away from blogland. Oh the torture! lol So now I'm back and coming for a visit. Pop the kettle on girls, I'll be there soon! Love Amanda xxx
