Having a compromised immunity SUCKS. Thank you SLE. It especially sucks when you’re working with a house like this and constantly exposed to something lurking. Despite my constant effort to wash the dirt and grime away I keep ending up with bacterial infections from what I am coming in contact with. Fortunately this time I got into the doctor the next day after I noticed a problem . She took one look and said I had what she thought was cellulitis. She referred me a great specialist the same day who says we caught it in time to avoid the hospital and eye surgery.
The ophthalmologist also told me that cellulitis can be from a mosquito or spider bite. It usually affects the skin of the lower legs, but mine is in the muscle of my lower eyelid which makes even blinking painful. While it isn’t contagious, it can spread withing your own body quickly making it a potentially serious bacterial infection that can become life threatening by spreading to the lymph nodes or bloodstream when left untreated, Boy am I glad I didn’t ignore the pain and went to the doctor right away. I can’t be out in the sun because of the medications so, it will be a quiet week indoors for me again.
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
It’s supposed to warm up quite a bit this week, high 80’s+ and even a low 90’s, but at least there is no rain in the forecast for the next 5 days!
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE
Black Cherry yogurt and coffee.
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE
I’m pretty happy. Doing the laundry and deep cleans on Saturdays are making for HAPPY Mondays!
WEEKLY TO DO LIST & HOUSE PROJECTS
We’re going to work on some finishing touches around here this week:
- Caulk and seal new molding on door frames
- Seal windows
CURRENTLY READING & TELEVISION / DVR
Not much on TV at this time of year, just a few straggler shows that are about to wrap up for the season and some cooking shows backing up on the DVR so I’ll catch up on those this week. We did find a new show on Netflix that we are liking and we watched Adam Sandler’s Sandy Wexler this past weekend. It was okay.
I’m currently reading Ava Miles Dare River 5 book series. I’m on the second book, Chocolate Garden.
CRAFTS/PROJECTS
I’m working to finish a quilt for my niece Jill and her first baby, Luca. I used a Noah’s Ark theme for one side and spring showers for the back.
KITCHEN WISHES
LOL nothing for now, but dreaming about my next kitchen.

Glad to hear you got to the right doctor in time to avoid the hospital and surgery. I’m dreaming of my next kitchen, too. So many ideas out there, how do you choose? Hope your week indoors goes by quickly and you’re out and about soon.
Thank you, I’m hoping for good news when I see the opthamalogist this afternoon! I started a Pinterest board for the kitchen. It is really helping the dreaming along! Have a great week.
Glad you are taking care of yourself. Sorry that you’ll have to be stuck inside. My husband watched that Adam Sandler movie last week but didn’t seem too impressed by it either. What a great colorful quilt for your neice! Hope you have a wonderful week.
Thank you! Have a great week too.
What a beautiful quilt!!! Have a great week!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Have a GREAT week too!
