Impressions of Life

I've been trying so hard to write enough articles for AC and Helium.com that I've neglected anything worthwhile here at LJ. I'm finding it difficult right now to think of things to write about. Not really writer's block but definitely a slump. I do have a couple of new articles written though if you want to check them out. I'm writing for AC first and them copying them to Helium.com.

This time last week there was over 2 feet of snow on the ground. Because of the temperature being just slightly warmer, there was more ice to contend with. So much more that there wasn't garbage pickup the following day (Tuesday). Today is foggy and cold. Hopefully the snow will continue to melt. Most on the snow is gone on the south side of the house now. Just don't try to walk across our yard. You'll think you're in a marsh.

This last Thursday, the realtor called to say that someone wants to look at the house tomorrow morning. So why am I not sprucing up the house today? There just no point in doing it until my husband gets home because he bring half of the outside in with him. Yes, I'm exaggerating but he does bring in a lot of dirt. I am doing laundry as I write this and will neatly fold it all once it's done. I've learned not to get excited whenever there's a showing of the house. Instead I'm looking at this as a way to keep myself in check on doing a good job at cleaning the house.

I was sick most of the weekend with a migraine headache. I've been having them every once in awhile since I had the stroke way long ago. At first I could deal with them by just taking Anacin. It would take about 2 hours for the pain to subside to a dull ache. But then I was in a car accident that broke my nose. Since then, the headaches last at least 6 hours and sometimes as long as 2 days. I think I have figured out something about this though. I'm bound to get the headaches because my brain keeps on trying to heal itself. The reason why they last longer is because my sinuses aren't shaped the same as they use to be because of the car accident. I think what I need to do it take the Anacin and then, 3 hours later, take some Sudifed (sp?) for my sinuses.

For the past three days, it's been snowing tiny little flakes. In the mornings, the streets, sidewalks, and alleys have a thin layer of snow, crystals, and ice. It warms up enough during the day for the eaves to start dripping water from the snow as the bitsy flakes fall. By evening, it's turned cold enough again so that the crystals and ice start accumulating with the snow.
