Nope not lost yet

 

You know that saying Thumper mutters to his mom under his breath ..you know the one all moms use to get the kids to be nice? If you can't say nothing nice, don't say anything at all? Well that's kind of where I am. Little things here and there set me off and I still don't have meds yet ( Thanks mental health). I am trying to stay positive and upbeat but some days are so much harder then others. I am doing what I can to try and improve my mood other then crafting ( as evidence allows). 

 

  This has been trying to eat better, exercise does help for about an hour after I am done, trying to get a small goal everyday done( on work days its just to stay busy) and trying not to sink into my couch to watch tv all dang day. On the bright side I am not in a ball of tears EVERYDAY. I really need to get back into reading blogs and commenting but I have no motivation for that yet. I did however add some social media buttons to my blog! I feel like I am part of the 21st century now! Take that Ha ha!

 

I am questioning the need for my provider right now. She asks me every appointment how I am and how the week went other then that no direction. I am not saying I will not go, just saying  this is not helping me open myself up any.  So bare with me a bit longer, I may actually attempt to do something in the next few days  (well not tomorrow I have a long split shift in front of me at work). Ohh and I did accomplish another Friday finale project! I just need to get photos and blog and get with Bridgett on that!

 

 

So till I catch you back here on the same bat channel...Hang tight!

 

 

 

Leaving the city behind.

Last weekend the temps outside hit an astounding 84 degrees. That is normal for the state of Washington...in August maybe so everyone seemed to leave the cities behind and hit nature.  We opted to go see the inland glacier that is MT. Rainier.  Our first pit stop was a small information stop with an Inn and souvenir shop and I just loved these old time gas pumps.  



Our 2nd stop was to see a waterfall. Something really fantastic about waterfalls to me so here is the view from the top..

the first drop went under the bridge of snow and then flowed   over another drop

We then just decided lets go see it from the bottom...

 

See where the trees at the top stop? That's  where we were ..we hiked down to see the bottom in snow! Felt pretty accomplished with a bad knee... ok I went half way because the second half was way too steep with the knee and ice. I would have caused serious damage. See? I do know when to stop Cynthia. LOL!

I was amazed at how much snow was still up there I mean look at that? My husband is 6'4" and look how tall it is!



See the rocks in this picture?

That's the wall at the top of the drift to prevent you from driving over a cliff.  So my daughter takes one step past the wall and get stuck waist deep in snow. I think my heart stopped.
The view was awesome from up there though.

This one  is just to show just how much snow was still up there. But seeing as it is a glacier I don't know why I was so amazed.

Lastly, this was a view from one of the hiking trails we went on.

All and all not a bad way to spend the day! 

A BIG BIRTHDAY WISH!
