Fresh Start

Thus far, in my blogging career what have you learned about me? Not to quit my day job? I am obviously not the most avid blogger, but I'm gonna work on it-- *fresh start*

So let me catch you up!

Since May, I have been dealing with a sinus infection/ear infection. I have been on multiple antibodics, but nothing seemed to be working. I can not even begin to describe how I was feeling, terrible does not even come close to how I felt. And I was tired-- a nap became a daily thing. I was drained. Then we found out that my ear infection might have abscessed and is starting to spread into my head (not brain, head). So I would need a C.T. scan to determine if it did and where exactly it was going- plus being admitted to the hospital for IV antibodics. EEP~ I was put on a different antibodic until the C.T. was completed and I had all but 2 side effects from it-- but it worked. =]
So I am finally on the road to recovery. I still have some "rough" days but nothing like it was-- like if it is hot my ear might ache a little, or when the weather changes...

My big news--- I am now a Thirty-One Gifts consultant!! =]=] I am LOVING it so far! I have met some amazing people and get to spend even more time with the people that already know. Plus it gives me a little me time.. ;) check out www.mythirtyone.com/coover you won't be disappointed.

I also decided that I need to make an effort to exercise. I think it will help me feel better- so tonight I went for a walk. I headed out the drive, saw that there were about 20 calves (500 pound!) in the ditch. FYI- we do not fence our ditch, however I should suggest it. I got them all into the bale yard, there is a fence but no gate--at least they aren't in the road right-- and keep walking. On the way back they are all back in the ditch. Sheesh! Repeat into the bale yard-- and start walking back to the house. Once on the porch steps, I turned around and they had all followed me into the yard. Obviously, this was a job for the farmer. So I did what I do best "There are cows in the yard!!!" hehe--

Owen is a smart pistol- I'll go over that maybe tomorrow!
