Yes, we have been back from the cabin for about three weeks now. But it has been a busy three weeks speckled with appointments, deck installers, patio door installers, electricians, and furnace folks. I got a little overwhelmed. Am down to 15 mgs. a day on my med for the MG (from 60) and it has kicked my butt. I don’t know where my energy went.
So I’ve been scraping along as best I can. I’ve put everyone in Reader, so if I miss a post now and then, please know I’ll try to get back to it. And I felt it was best to take a couple weeks off the blog while I caught up with others’ posts. So my head is clearing and I’m hoping the light I see at the end of the tunnel is NOT an oncoming train!

While I’m getting back in the swing of things, here’s a short little tour of the cabin. I don’t think I’ve ever put pictures on here before. My angel friend from Perth, Australia has been over to visit a couple times, and the last time we spent a night at the cabin. It was so great to have Kim there!

It’s a great place to kick back. No phone, no TV, no WATER!!! (But we DO have both a chemical toity inside and your regular, run-of-the-mill outhouse outside. Makes you feel sort of like a pioneer when you have to heat your water to do dishes!
Anyway, I hope to get caught up with myself very soon now. And I’ll keep working at visiting blogs!
(PS. Hover over the pix to see the captions. And btw, I’m not going to be posting the Sandbox prompts for awhile now. Not really in a place right now to focus on them. Thanks to everyone who was playing along. You are such great companions! ❤ )

Impromptu Promptlings 
Lady C — I saw this contest and thought, “You know who would hands-down win that? Cheryl, that’s who.” So I am sending you the details: November
5-7-5 Poem Poetry Contest
Deadline: November 6, 2018
A 5-7-5 follows the structure of a Haiku but without any limitation to the topic. While a Senryu, is primarily concerned with human nature. A Haiku, primarily concerned with physical nature. A 5-7-5 poem is a free form with the only limitation being the syllable count.
So have fun with the 5-7-5 poetry type. But it must follow the proper syllable count. A 5-7-5 poem has three lines. The first line has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. The third line has 5 syllables again.
The winner takes away a $100 cash prize. All writers will receive feedback for their submission.

Glad to hear your meds have been decreased, I suppose the temporary slump was inevitable. The cabin is lovely – if I had somewhere like that I’d never go home. I’d live on wild roots and berries.

And you could let the wild jackass chase you all around out in the meadow!!! LOL He’s gotta be ancient by now. Haven’t seen him for awhile. December 9th I should hit my maintenance dose of 5 mg. every other day. Fingers crossed that the double vision doesn’t come back.

Wow, that is quite the palatial cabin! Looks quite roomy, and homey. Fun tour! I remember when I was very young we went to stay in bungalows for vacation. Later everything switched to camping, in tent then in trailer. I’d have like that cabin better, especially since we would have been staying in one place instead of caravanning all over the country.

Camping was never my thing. Even though our family did a lot of it when I was young. I’m strictly a hotel with a pool person!

Thanks, Harula. If you like the quiet you’d enjoy it for sure. At least at night when you can hear the river down below. Me? The quiet drives me nuts! (I wonder what that says about me???)

A lovely insight into your world. The cabin looks great – better than my little semi here in Kettering (although we do have hot water and mains sewage!). Great that your meds are coming down. With regard to energy, just go easy on yourself (easier said than done!). I will try to stop by more often – you are a real sharer and interactive blogger. An inspiration. 🙂

Yes. But I’ll be on a maintenance dose of 5 mg. every other day for ever to prevent what they call a Myasthenia Crisis where you can’t breathe. I just hope Chip & Dale move out of my cheeks soon!

That does sound like a busy three weeks and I can imagine I’d be feeling overwhelmed too! Hope you’ll soon start to feel better – I’m reading it that it is a good sign to be able to have been able to reduce the dose so much? Either way, I’m rooting for you!
