update on finger

.....so I'm scared to say this, for fear people might run for their lives.....but it wasn't a cold sore on my finger.......



it is mrsa........

yippee...............

some people have heard of it, some have not

Interesting day!

Today was interesting!

I am trying to type with one less finger right now. Don't worry, it is still there!

About four or five days ago, one of my fingers started to feel funny, Like really sensitive when it got touched. Then it started to look all bubbly, It was a bit weird. I bandaged it up and went on my way. Anyways it just hadn't changed(got a little worse) and I had a doctors appointment today's anyways. So I decided to show it to him, and ask about it. He decided we needed to take some cultures of it and in order to do that, he needed to take a knife to one of the bubbles! BLAH! I was a bit scared, but it didn't hurt really. Until he started pushing on it with a Q-tip, then I blurted out.. "Bring Back the knife!" Ha Ha, The part when he was pushing on it hurt a whole lot more then the knife part!

SO, the tests are not back yet, but he thinks that the herpes virrus has now traveled to my hand....or my finger! So I have a cold sore on my finger....actually like five! And it does not feel good to bend it! Also, it can be transferred to other parts of my body and to other people, so I will have it bandaged up good for a while :)

Also, I screamed at a Les Scwab guy today! Not because I was mad, but because he scared me! I jump and scream easily!  I was walking in to the store and I did not see him come out to help me, and then he was just there....and I screamed! Ha Ha, poor guy!

Alright now for some pictures of my finger! Want to see?? Well here you go!

good bye 2013

I think that 2013 was a great year, I think about the things I did and it makes me happy for the most part. I should make a list. They are not going to be in any order;)

1.  I carried out the plans I desined a year or two ago for a beautiful lanscape! It was a new house, so I got to design every last little inch of the ouside! I hired a crew, got to let my imagination run wild(with a budget of course), went to a huge greenhouse and ordered a ton of plants! I am excited in the spring to go over there and see all the ornamental trees and bushes in bloom! I designed in a way that there would be interest each Season! In the fall there will be bright red leafs! In the winter there will be spots that the branches will be a bright red or a bright yellow! In the spring, there will be many different colors of liliacs blooming, and three weeping trees will be blooming in another section( one with hot pink flowers!) In the summer there is a perenial and annual flower beds.I planned the perennials to be blooming at different times. Ok, well enough about that;)

2. I found a doctor in Utah that is specializing and researching cfids(chronic fatigiu immume deficiency syndrome).
Yay,no need to travel out of state!!
I have really like going to this doctors office! I love walking in  and feeling like I am not fighting this alone! We have a treatment plan, there is no cure right now, but some of the symptoms can be helped.

3. Went to yellowstone in August! This is a yearly thing, but its always really fun! I started writing a paper titled " what I have learned about Yellowstone, from the Whitakers".

4.  No weird medical issues!  So this is something to at least mention!
    -2012 I had eschemic colitis, and huge              ovarian cyst.

5. We still live in two different places, hoping to remedy that soon!  My house is for sale!

6. Started and stopped paying world of war craft. Decided I didn't want to pay monthly fee:)

7. My goodreads account says I've only read two books this year.... I read more, I swear!  I read a couple of unpublished books;)

8. My name was published in a book!  In the acknowlegdments! This brings it up to three times my name has been in published books. The other two were for my husbands thesis and his technical book he wrote in 2012.

I think a list of eight things its good enough! thanks for reading!
Bye!

BLAH!

I just opened up a glade plug in and the oil stuff went all over my hands! Now they smell really strong....of "Sunny day", I don't like it! I threw away the bottle, but of course the smell is staying with me because of my hands!

That is all!
