Sleep! Ahhhh Blissful Sleep. PLEASE!!!!
Growing up I wondered why my Grandma never seemed to sleep. She was always up so early in the morning. Then the older my Mom got the earlier she was awake. Now I think them b&$#+(%’s passed it down to ME!?! Why??? That’s just rude. I’m certain it’s more of that Karma stuff. (Yeah, yeah, teen years ….. blah blah blah). Now, put me on the couch? Pffffffttttttt I can fall asleep almost instantly, in the most uncomfortable positions. What’s up with THAT!? So, I trudge upstairs, cuddle up in bed and…… and…… and….. yup I stare at the ceiling. Drum my fingers on my stomach. THEN! My mind starts to get in on that action. Ya know, you really need to wash all the bathroom rugs, when was the last time you did an inventory of the pantry? Oh my gosh! That would make a cute t-shirt (Do I REMEMBER what that was!?!?! noooooooo of course not!). Have I posted anything to Instagram lately? Have I? I wonder if… did I put anything out for dinner tomorrow. YUP! Inside my mind is a scary, scary place. It’s messy, but don’t move anything if you look inside. I know where…

Ganglion Cyst and My Driveway?
Now how is THAT for a weird combination Ganglion Cyst and my Driveway??? It actually gives you an insight into my brain. Scary huh?? Usually I show you pictures from my craftroom or from the deck. A lot of you have been curious about my driveway and how far away I am from Sandpoint. Soooooooooo I shot a video just for you. Don’t mind the mindless chatter. I should probably find some music as background….. maybe later. Ganglion Cyst NOW, the real reason for the post. Anyone else suffer from Ganglion Cysts? I have several on the palm of my hands. These things HURT like a son-of-a-b*t@h. The hand surgeon recommended surgery. My question is has anyone else had them removed surgically? Would you do it again? Do you remember the healing time? When my Mom was alive, she would help me get rid of them with the ole hammer and book trick. You know place a book on the cyst, hit the book with a hammer. It hurt A LOT but after a few minutes the cyst was gone. The hammer pain gone, and I was cyst free for months. The Husband however will not pick up where Mom left…
