Cindy's Art Studio

Well, a lot has happened this month. The weather has been pretty good all month, considering that last year at the beginning of October we already had snow on the ground, and then after that 6 months of winter. I hate cold and snow!

I had to take some time off of work because I’ve been having some pain in my legs. Got in to the doctor for it last week, they gave me a prescription for Prednisone, which started helping the day after I started taking it. Took all this last week off and used up the rest of my vacation days. Had some tests done, but nothing showed up…all the stupid doctors will say is that it had to be some sort of virus, but what? Doctors don’t know anything…after almost 2 weeks of being off my feet, I’ll have to get going again so I can get back to work on November 1st. There’s definately not the pain that I had during the first part of this month though. And I won’t be doing those 10-11 hour days anymore either…back to a 5 day week again will help.

Sue was here visiting from Montana for a couple days. She came for her mom’s birthday last weekend in Dodge. Wednesday we tried Skeeter Barnes because I’d never been there…it was really good BBQ…ordered the appetizer platter and there was so much food that we didn’t have to order anything else (except the “death by chocolate” 4 layer cake…we got 2 ha). Thursday we took a little road trip to Grand Island and went around to all the antique shops. It’s been forever since I did anything like that and it was pretty fun…I was really tired at the end of the day though, after being off my feet for over a week and then walking non-stop for 4 hours. The best thing I saw was an old porcelain bed pan labeled as an “Ergonomic Magazine Holder”. I talked Sue into buying it for $10, she’s going to plant some baby’s breath or something in it and put it in her bathroom… The main thing I was looking for that day was a memory foam pillow, which I did find along with a few other little things. She left Friday morning for Yankton to visit another friend on her way home, she was planning on being home Sunday (I think). It’s always good to see old friends.

Today is my niece’s baby shower, which I plan on attending. The husker game will be on later (not that I pay attention to that anyway) so I thought I’d just wear a husker hoodie (maybe that can be my halloween costume, because anyone who knows me knows that I hate football ha). Most likely tomorrow night on Halloween though, I’ll just put on the ghost costume to hand out candy. I was thinking about being a hippie, but maybe next year…I can’t find my tie died t-shirt…I know it’s in a bag of t-shirts somewhere upstairs in all the mass of stuff…ummm yeah, I really need to start going through some of that stuff…I keep saying that don’t I?

Our 34th wedding anniversary was last week…we spent it at home (yawn). We did go out to eat at the cafe here in town on the night before…had the standard fish and chicken that they serve on Friday nites.

Anyway…I guess that’s all I have for today…Happy Halloween everybody!
