Just the Same

Thank you for all the words about my possible Shingles.   There's been no change.   No better, no worse.   Still not sure if this is Shingles, but I have a doctor's appointment next week and will discuss it further.   The scalp pain is annoying but not that bad.   The anti-viral medication makes me tired and a little dizzy.   I'm thankful I've seen no rash.   

I'm trying to make sure I spend some time outside every day so I don't sit around doing nothing.  I've been riding my horse, Beau, but haven't had the energy to ride both horses so Buddy hasn't had enough attention this past week.   Beau has been a pill and not making my rides easy.   Horses can go through phases where they just don't want to work and they find ways of evasion.   Beau is the master of pulling from his bag of tricks.   They sense our weaknesses and are willing to play on those.   Still, I start every ride hopeful that this one will be better.   And my trainer is a huge help when I need it.  

The meds pull me into a nap almost every day, which I don't really like because by the time I wake up, it seems there are only about two hours of daylight left.   I'm still looking at the clock around 6pm and thinking it's bedtime, not yet used to the time change.   I'm falling asleep much earlier and missing some of my favorite shows on TV.   I'm hoping I can get away from the naps after I finish the meds, and make the adjustment to early darkness before too long.   It seems to be harder to adjust to time changes as I get older.   

We continue to have pretty sunsets and a little rain from the scattered clouds.   Still no El Nino deluge around here so we continue to wait, wondering how much rain will come this Winter.   

It's Monday....completely overcast with a few showers predicted.   Thanks for stopping by.   I hope you enjoy your day.
