Easter 2013: Some Easter fun graphics!

 

Happy Easter 2013!

 

Two pictures for today.

The first above was fun to do.

It was done today.

Here is my second picture.  This one was done on the 27th.

Easter marks the end of March.

Since I last wrote, so much has happened.

My husband lost his job after 15 years with his company.  Well, actually, his company was bought several years ago, and everything went well.

But eventually the company that bought him was bought by a larger company.

Last year, he got a new supervisor.  This has been a very hard year for him.  With each passing day, I felt they were targeting him to get rid of him, and they finally did.  They have eliminated many of the old company people, and there is only one left from the original company.  I'm sure he'll eventually go, as well.

On the one hand, I am sorry he lost his job.  On the other hand, I'm glad he lost his job. They were making him miserable.

My work at home days have changed from Monday and Tuesday to Thursday and Friday.  One of my friends in our group, who holds the same position I do, has moved into another group.

I miss her presence, but am very glad for her.  She has many years left to work and I only have a few.

Next year, we stand to see two retire in our group, only leaving five.  When I go, there will only be four.

I was planning on waiting till I'm 66, but it depends.  I might opt to go sooner.  I'll just have to wait and see how things play out.

I'm glad to see March end.  This month, I've had some nerve pain in my right arm and hand with stiffness in my right shoulder from an accident I had at work in June, 2008. Funny how these things kick up again.  Hoping warmer weather tames it down a little.

I went to the eye doctor this month due to some pain in my right eye.  My vision is getting old along with the rest of me, and it was time for a long-overdue checkup.  After being treated for dry eye for two weeks, I had my eye exam, and I ordered new glasses.  The doctor gave me over the counter drops to continue to treat my dry eye condition.

I should be picking my glasses up soon.  This week sometime, I'm sure.

I'm due to see my surgeon this next month.  Time for my 6 month checkup after my Whipple Surgery last year.  After that, it will just be every year.

The world is going kind of crazy right now with North Korea.  It's all in God's hands, of course, so I don't worry about it.

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter!

Bless my sweet husband.  We have a double-car garage, and our doors needed to be replaced.  He bought one on Friday, and after he got it in, he went back and bought the other.  He got them both up, and working.  He did it all, by hisself!  Each door weighed 157 pounds. (He is very strong; especially for being an old man.)   We opted for insulated, to help keep the basement level warmer.

Take care, love your families, and take peace in knowing, "HE Lives!"

God bless!

Flower Nymph

Sunday, 4/26/09 ... and a terrific day!

Sleeping last night was wonderful. Windows open, and even the deck door was open, letting the cool night air flow throughout the house. It felt wonderful this morning.

The day is warmer now, but I've been busily creating at my computer.

Today's offering, this little flower nymph. She was so fun to make.

I love the background. I had made it several days ago, and after creating today, I put these two together. They just kind of "fit".

If you like her, you can find her, the frame, and the background at:

I'm still looking for members for my Scrapper's Daily group, so if you're a scrapper; and looking for some scrapping items/challenges; try us out here:

Have a beautiful Sunday!

I scrapped all day! (Creating is scrapping, in my book!)

PS -- An update on my health position -- from 6/10/08: I finally managed to get my doctor of record changed. I wrote a letter, and after about 4-6 weeks, got notification that it was approved. This doctor is an orthopedist, and I've already seen him.

After taking new x-rays of my shoulder, he found that surgery is necessary on my right shoulder. After 10 months, it has NOT healed, and according to him, it won't. Every time I stress it, I have additional pain for awhile.

Of course, they put in for the surgery request, and I had to wait 5 business days this time for approval/denial. It was denied. I called ACS and asked why, and they said that the doctor's office submitted the wrong codes. But actually, I received a return call from my claims examiner yesterday, on my cell phone's voice mail, stating that surgery is denied based on my codes: shoulder strain/contusion. According to her; these diagnosis codes do not allow for surgery at all. The diagnosis in no way allows for this type of treatment, and if I can prove how this is related to my original injury, then I can submit that.

Have you ever heard such ridiculousness???

Me either!

A Six-Flower Sunday

Good morning,

The sun is shining. The weather is improving. It is warmer out this morning. Therefore, I declare that today ... is a six-flower Sunday! (That means it is pretty kalei-rific!)

And for a six-flower Sunday, we have six -- count 'em -- six kalei'd flowers.

All these flowers were made from just one item, yet they are each very different. Different designs, different colors, different centers. Each is unique in their own right.

And so it is with kaleis.

Hoping you a wonderful and relaxing day.

See you soon.
