Summer hibernation is over

It has been a long time since I wrote my blog. Not sure why I did not write... maybe too much going on in my head and trying to figure out what I want to do. There is so much I would love to try my hand at. Have always wanted to write - poetry and prose. However never got around to writing and always felt diffident about my skills.

Autumn has started from 25th Sept. as this day the winds came down from the arctic and temperature dropped to max. 15C.. brrrrr First thing I said on opening my eyes was, 'put the heating on' to my husband. The rain is back with a vengeance too, drizzle all day with intermittent heavy showers. When the sun shines I quickly get my sun bathing in. Through out autumn and winter the sun shines all day in the bedroom so getting my vitamin D is the priority.

Changing season and cold has also caused a flareup of my arthritis... the pain is exquisite and like a ripples through the body. Wonder if anyone ever died just from pure pain.Looking for a doctor proved frustrating and so got to self medicating to take the edge off. Took 10 days to get hold of someone and finally got an appointment with both the outpatient's and the GP! seems there is famine or feast in this as well. Hey ho am happy with some boosting of drugs and so can move about and even go out for lunch... been in doors for 2 weeks and so it felt real good to be out.

The aim now is hopefully to keep this low level of pain and be back to old dosages of drugs. The brain has come out of the haze of pain and begun to tick again. Lots of ideas for indulging in personal well being. Look out for better blogging with diverse topics like travel, snap shots of life, maybe some amusing penning and occasional recipe as well as poetry. Am planing to returning to drawing and water colour painting. Oh so many things I want to do... and I shall slowly get there!
