Partially Updating My Life!

Well, Sire is at The Players Tournament, so we've had a quiet day. I ate lunch on the way home from church, so I was able to relax within minutes of stepping in the house! It rained almost all day. I'm glad, because the spots we've put grass seed down, needs it. I've been mowing with the blade one notch higher, so it needs to be mowed more often. That's okay with me, of course! And it looks really good after I've mowed it with it not so low. Our neighborhood yard sale was yesterday. We did so much work and the money goes toward Dollywood in July. I'm sure there were many more things we could've taken out of the house to sell but sometimes it's just not worth it. Sack had a game at noon, so we had to cut it short. However, if we'd stayed another hour we probably wouldn't have made much more money. My legs have been aching lately. I just don't understand. And I can usually rest for about 20 minutes and the pain goes away and I'm good to go for several more hours. But it's just not happening. Like, when I lie down in bed, I'm changing positions so much waiting for them to feel better that I can't relax and enjoy the coziness of my bed. Also, every now and then, I feel dizzy. Like I'm turning upside down. It's weird. One odd thing happened this morning. I woke up and my left thumb was numb on the side. Really strange. I'm going to the dr. soon for a wellness visit and I'm going to mention all of this. Last year at the wellness visit (my first one with Dr. L.) there was not much accomplished. I googled achy legs and tingling feet and found that sometimes it can be a vitamin B12 deficiency and that's not good. Something about nerve damage if not treated. We'll see. In the meantime, I'm doing everything I've always done. Speaking of things I've always done, I swam a mile all 4 days last week! It is so much better to push myself and "git'r done"! Even though I had so much going last week, I made myself do it. Speaking of so much to do last week, the children's musical was last Sunday, so I had the 3 hour rehearsal the Wednesday before last, another 3 hour rehearsal last Saturday, an end of the year group lesson that afternoon, the performance Sunday, last lessons of the year Monday and Tuesday and my recital on Thursday! Oh, and then the yard sale Saturday. After Sack's game and rest time, I vacuumed the van real good because the seats were taken out. So, today was Mother's Day and most of the day was enjoyable. The 2 girls constant chattering, humming, and singing has really gotten on my nerves. We went for a walk, all 4 of us, while it was sprinkling and got to the house on the corner and then it started raining steady so we walked home. We sat on the front porch for probably 45 minutes and then the 2 girls played ball in the yard while it was drizzling. As always, I hope to write here again more often.
