Ups and Downs

Life is so full of ups and downs.  They are not necessarily the good and bad things, but more the seasons of life and hobbies and families.  I finally started reading again.  I checked out a bunch of books on running from the library a few weeks ago and just felt burdened to get them done.  Well I finally returned all of them, some of them unread just to get them out of the house.  I picked up a fiction book (The Mitford Series) and started reading again last night.  I had DVRed (is that a word?) a few of the "Love Saga" movies on the Hallmark channel.  They are based on the "Love Comes Softly" series by Janette Oke and I love those books.  I forgot how much I can get caught up in a series of books and the characters and I missed that.  So I grabbed a book and only got about 2 pages read before I fell asleep, but it felt good to connect with characters that let me see a different life.  

I also got back in the groove of crocheting.  Bryant has been sick so I watched a few movies and crocheted the last few evenings while both my boys were sleeping.  It feels good to get back into.  Now if I can just get back into cleaning that would be helpful.  One thing at a time I guess...

Say a prayer for my poor thyroid.  My last blood work came back that it was a little off.  No wonder I'm tired.  Am I surprised?  No.  Most of my family suffers from the same problem.  So I go back in two weeks to have more blood work and make sure it is still off.  If not, I better get to bed earlier.  If it is, hopefully I will get more energy when I can regulate it better with medicine.
