Our Little Slice of Heaven

How can it be November already?
Can you believe it is November? How on earth did that happen? We went to our land last weekend to try and get a little more firewood. Turns out we have the coldest lot in the area. On the way there, the thermometer in our van read 17 degrees. As we turned off down the highway to our land, we were on the "dark side" of the mountain. The thermometer began to drop. It was just like a countdown for the shuttle or something. 10....9......8.....7......all the way to 0! We got there and spent all of about 3 minutes outside. We didn't need firewood so bad. LOL After we got back in the van and took off to the "sunny side" of the mountain and the temp promptly rose to 24. Go figure. Looks like we're gonna need a gooooooood wood stove! We've pretty well decided that we'll be moving out there when our lease is up. Which is 1 year from now. We have 1 year to get it livable. Hubby said he doesn't care if it is a cabin, an RV, a yurt, or a cardboard box. I'm holding out for a cabin, personally. ;) Meanwhile, I still don't have any word on my lupus testing. I do have several many symptoms, but I'm not sure about all the blood work. I have my appointment with the rheumatologist the day before Thanksgiving. I'm anxious to hear what he has to say. My hands and feet are perpetually swollen at this point. I'm having a hard time playing my flute or knitting for very long at a time. I have a scarf I've been working on for MONTHS and I'm not sure it will ever be done. I just can't knit like I used to. And I don't know if my song will ever be ready for the Christmas program. Practicing my flute as long as I should isn't possible, either. My shoes don't fit some days, either. Crazy stuff, I tell ya.

Wow! I read your post on Front Porch and looked at your blog. Your piece of land is breathtaking! I noticed you mentioned some symptoms you were having. Have you heard of the book, You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay? It's wonderful. It has a list of symptoms in the back and thought patterns that you can try to release them. I have used it many times and it has worked for me. It's a spiritual book and compatible with any religion. You may want to give it a try. PS 1 acre sounds like a lot to me, I have .11!
