So I haven’t felt very good for the last few weeks. I’ve been getting headaches at times when it isn’t normal for me to be getting them and I’ve had this other mysterious thing where my stomach just decides it wants to send anything I’ve eaten back up again. No nausea or anything, just the spontaneous need to toss my cookies and then I feel just fine. (I’m sure you all wanted to know about this….) Well, I have really been just ignoring it. I know, I know, it isn’t something I should ignore. But I did.

So yesterday I had the headache part, AGAIN. It has been an excedrin for breakfast kind of day for the last few weeks and yesterday started no different. However by the end of the day what I thought was a really bad allergy time ended up being obviously not just an allergy flare up. I caved about8:30 last night and went to the doctor. Turns out I have a sinus infection, and apparently have for some time now. They tell me the back of my throat looks pretty bad and that all the drainage it was is probably causing my other symptoms. After getting a diagnosis I hit the pharmacy and come home with four new drugs that should help with all the issues this silly infection caused. So sometimes a headache isn’t just a headache!

Now on to the rest of my life… I went to Paper Tales yesterday in Eastpointe. It is a nice store, and they do a great job rotating product really. I hadn’t been there in awhile, but even when I went more often the product always seems new in there. Basic Grey had come in shortly before I got there but it wasn’t on the floor yet so I’ll have to make a second trip on Thursday to pick up what I NEED. I did pick up some printed papers and a cute little flip calendar made by Prima Marketing. I hope to get to work with some of my goodies today.

This past weekend was our annual fireworks display here. The Herbert family comes and we hang out and watch Denny light stuff on fire. Always a good time!! This was the first year Shelby was really into it. It was so cute to hear her yell “Wow!” every few minutes. She is so stinkin’ cute!!

The next day we had family and friends over to watch Denny on TV.  HotRod TV did a special on the 50th Anniversary of the 57 Chevy and followed Denny on a build he did at Wheel to Wheel.  On top of that they also gave a lot of face time to another 57 Denny was doing at the same time for a customer in his garage here at home.   I can tell you how proud we are of him and how well he did.  It really was a fantastic show and Denny took it all in stride.  Good job Mister!!

My cousin Terri returned home yesterday.  We all will miss her and I do wish she lived closer.  It was great to see her but even better that she got to spend some time with our Grandma.  It has been years since Terri has been here to Michigan (I’d guess around 10 years) and I think my Grandma was very happy to see her and have some company for awhile.

One of the days she was here we went over to Metro Beach to visit the bench dedicated to the memory of our Grandpa.  I took this photo there.  He loved the water and spent a TON of time fishing.  So that bench overlooks the water with a plaque that reads “Grandpa Buckerfield, Gone Fishing.”  I don’t think Terri had ever seen it so that was one place we made sure to take her.  On a side note… it’s a real pain in the rear to get a photo with everyone looking at the camera!!  (Pictured:  front: Shelby, Grandma, Ethan, Dylan and Terri            in back: Grand Aunt Shirley)

I have a to do list a mile long today so I better move on now to my next task.  Have a great day!  Now go scrapbook!!!
