So far on staycation.......

Well, didn't think I would be posting again this soon. But, life has a way of changing plans. Felt pretty cranky and tired for 2 days at least and then this morning woke with a stinging, itchy rash on my back. Took a mirror and looked and said. ____!  Went to the doc today and have the Shingles. Lovely. We had some plans for a short road trip and I'm still determined to take it, even so with pills this big to stop the rash from worsening.

Antivirals to stop the Shingles at the starting point. Can you believe the size of these pills. Had to cut those in half.
Between that and cream I'm determined to go on this road trip soon.
I lazed around today and Miss Abbie could tell I didn't feel so good.


We rented this movie to watch tonight.

This is a long movie......so if you rent it, pop 3 bowls of popcorn.
But, it was definitely high action and you will sit on the edge of your seat...or the couch....LOL

Sometimes, Abbie peaked out of my arms when the parts were not as scarey, like when the world wasn't falling apart in the movie.
Then, when the real action started and the world was falling apart, the end, she did open her eyes.

Let's hope dogs can't get chicken pox virus.


Because she has been velcroed to me all day and night.
I did throw a few stitches in a freebie by The Sampler Girl, I Love Watermelon.


While I snacked on this Praline Ice Cream tonight. A great Summertime comfort food.


Back to sleepy time. I can't believe tomorrow is already mid-week. Where does the time go?

  10. I hope your shingles disappear fast. My FIL and SIL suffer from that so I know it's not nice.

    Pralines & Cream ice cream is my second favorite next to Chocolate and you've reminded me I have some in the freezer. With temps close to 100 today, I think I need me some.

  11. I've never had shingles but I'm sure I will someday, as I had a serious case of chicken pox as a kid. I hope you're pain free and feeling better soon!
