Fairies, Friends, and Future Plans

Category: Lady Rose's Musings, Life & Family | Written by Lady Rose

Good morning one and all. This week I have new obsession – Fairies! And it’s all Mama Kelly’s fault. LOL

Fairies – For some reason I decided to check out facebook. I never had anything going on there since I only had two friends on facebook – and I communicate with one by email and the other was Mama Kelly who I email and see in person at least once a month. Well, this time I noticed that Mama Kelly was playing an application called Fairyland – where you grow a garden with various flowers and herbs to go up in levels, discover the secret combinations for alchemy and herbalism, and to attract various animals to stop by your garden and it has wands and fairies dust. Well I started my fairy garden on Sunday, and I’m hooked. It’s so cute, totally stress free and playing helps to save the rainforest too.

If any one is interested in their own Facebook Fairyland garden and wants to favorite mine let me know and I’ll favorite yours too – my garden’s name is Full Moon Magic (fairy’s name is: Celinette, it means full moon) or if you want to link up as friends – leave a message here and I’ll contact you by email to exchange info.

Friends - This weekend I will be visiting with Mama Kelly for our monthly overnight visit. As always I am really looking forward to spending time together. Don’t have anything specific planned but I’m sure we will be discussing the blog, family updates, and a wide variety of topics that come up between two best friends of over 20 years.

Future Plans – I have been really unfocused lately with no major plans. My time and energy has been mostly focused on getting through all the doctor appointments and tests required for the gastric bypass surgery.

The lastest test results I got this past Monday were about bloodwork – low vitamin D. I didn’t think anything of it until the director said, oh well your parathyroid test is off too but that is from the low vitamin D. Well my ears perked up, when I asked him about it, he just said “take a calcium pill with vitamin d.” Well of course I had to look it up – and guess what – it seems that the only reason that vitamin d gets low is because of parathyroid problems (usually a tumor) – not the other way around – and that taking extra calcium would cause problems. Plus I have all almost all the symptoms of a parathyroid problem – exhaustion, high blood pressure, kidney stones, etc. etc. etc. I am going to have to do more research, but I am definitely going to have to see my primary physician and hopefully convince him to let me see an endocronologist to determine the problem – especially since it may involve major surgery (two long incisions down either side of the neck). I’ve often thought I had a thyroid problem or soemthing for many, many years – one really odd thing I have is a frequent sharp pain in the side of my tongue radiating up from my neck, and I can often feel a tiny hard lump in the side of my neck. but since I’m female overweight, any time I mention thyroid tests to a doctor – they just tell me to stop eating and exercise (considering my calorie intake is 800 to 1000 calories a day and I have rhumatoid arthritis which makes exercise very very painful their advice is not helpful). I’m not going to worry about it – but I will do some more research and see the doctor and after that if anything has to be done, I’ll just do it.

I also have some fun things to look forward to, like my very top secret plans for Mama Kelly’s birthday in June. ***evil giggle*** And my daughter’s 13th birthday next month – she doesn’t want anything big, no party or anything. She is thinking over what she would like for a gift and\or an outing – like a movie with a couple friends and\or shopping for some summer clothes at her favorite stores. She doesn’t shop a lot, and always looks for sales so going out shopping is treat.

My husband’s nephew and his wife are expecting their first baby, a boy, next month – due date May 15 (my daughter’s birthday). We are hoping she actually delivers that day. I went to the baby shower this past weekend and it was very nice. It was held at a local restaurant, brunch was served family style, the people at the table where Angelgirl (my daughter) and I sat were very nice, there were a couple baby shower games (50/50 and scratch off tickets) for little prizes, and a mountain of baby gifts to ooooh and aaaaaah over as they were opened. One of the gifts I gave the expectant mom was a handmade crocheted blanket – done in a 12-point round pattern. I took a couple of photos and will get them posted soon.

Bright blessings, Lady Rose
