And so it goes...

So, my health issues continue on in a way that is both worrisome and frustrating. Worrisome because I feel like crap every day. My overall fatigue and weakness is wearing me down. I feel stupid and weak and even the easiest things, like opening a bottle, breaks me down. The frustration comes in from all of this. I don't feel sick. Not sick in a usual way. Just overall icky and weak and it makes me so frustrated to not be able to just get up and go to work or out of the house. Putting on socks and shoes takes forever. I go to the doc on Monday so hopefully I'll find out soon what the heck is doing on. I'm hoping it's something that is easily remedied. Keeping my fingers crossed.


On the fun side, I've run across this video blog called "Emmy Eats..." and it's so fun! Emmy is Chinese American who gets packages of snacks sent to her from around the world. She has many global viewers so these things come all over the place. She's very adventurous. Some of the things she get, especially from the Asian countries, are very strange. Shrimp chips, squid bark, chocolate bugs...but she eats them all with zeal. Watching back to back blogs I actually got hungry for some of the old fashioned candies she was sent. Things like "Flying Saucers" - probably one of my favorites of all time. She also had a Sky Bar which I didn't even think they made any more. So I did a little research. I googled "old fashioned candy" and BAM there was a site that had it all. So, $50 later, I'm eagerly awaiting my delivery of some of my old favorites. $20 of which is all "Flying Saucers". LOL I think I ordered a case of 200 of them! I can't wait until it gets here!

Thinking of the candy I ate when I was a kid makes me happy. And it takes my mind off the worry and frustration I feel otherwise. Fingers crossed...
