A very lovely Saturday!!!

It was soooo nice today! Christina and I took a walk around some ponds that aren't very far from us. I trip around them is about a mile. (Picture below) I haven't walked in quite a long time so it was a good start! Christina walks one of our friends dogs several days a week so she's in much better shape than me. :)  We also got the raspberry area cleaned up and all the dead vines taken care of. It'd been three years so they were in pretty bad shape!! Slowly but surely the yard will get back into shape. I got moss stuff down last Monday so that is starting to die off. On top of that I finished my e-filing to the state for last years W-2's for my clients and finished the fiscal year for another client. So all in all a very productive Saturday.

I starting to see the increase in energy from the Reliv that I'm taking. The really cool thing that has happened with that is that there was a spot on my forehead that had been there for several years and was gradually getting bigger. It was starting to get a bit itchy and when I asked the doctor about it she said it looked fine. Within two months of taking the Reliv that spot has totally disappeared! So I'm guessing that there's a decent chance that it was pre-cancerous. I have had one other spot that was pre-cancerous so it isn't out of the realm of possibility that that was what was going on with this one. It's so nice to have it gone now! I'm excited to see what other results will come! We're really hoping that it'll help with food intolerances.

Scarlet is actually starting to toilet train! She's at the beginning stages but there's definitely recognition of what needs to be done. Teagan is about 3/4 there I'd say. Hard to believe she'll be 3 in April!! It's looking like Scarlets diabetes may be permanent and not temporary. There's technically about 6 more months where it may disappear but so far it's definitely still an issue!  It's quite the struggle right now to know exactly what to feed her. One day one thing doesn't seem to bother her and the next day it does. Erika said she's up to 3 units of the long lasting insulin, but that gets adjusted up or down depending on what's going on, how sick she might be etc. I haven't had to give her insulin during the day though for the last 3 days I've babysat. So it's still as needed for the short lasting insulin.

Really looking forward to tomorrow. Wonderful meetings and lunch with a very special group of friends.

This is Christina's latest painting!! It had been a while since she painted. But I like what it represents (to me). The sun breaking out of the clouds. She answered the phone yesterday and my brother didn't realize who it was because of the change in just the way she talked. He said she sounded a lot more confident. She's breaking out of the all that's been swirling inside her the last few years. It's a wonderful thing to witness!
