A very sad week for me

As most or some of you know I have been very sick and an er dr and I narrowed it down to the fact that I caught a virus from the birds and they needed to be re homed and I did so on Thursday and I am grieving so please understand that this was one of the hardest decisions I had ever had to make . Another note : If you are constantly sick and live in a small home please , have yourself checked . Living in small spaces it is apparently very easy to get sick . I was just told from a friend about a family who is living in a small home and they have several animals and they are constantly sick . I wonder if they make the relation to the animals and their being sick all the time . Before i got sick I was never this sick in my life . I got three different opinions and all the drs agreed that the birds were causing my sickness due to the dander that birds have and their droppings can be a problem as well . I must admit since cleaning my whole house top to bottom and using lysol everywhere I have started to feel better . I encourage all of you who have birds to please be careful when cleaning around them please wear a mask and gloves when cleaning a bird cage . Please dont misunderstand me when I say this but please all of my friends and readers who have birds please be careful . Please understand also that I did what was best for the birds and for me . I cannot be sick for the rest of my life and I dont want to be . I hope all of my readers understand .

If you are missing a letter from me

Hi all and yes I am still sick it has been close to five months of being sick and just exactly what is wrong with me no one seems to know . Well this am went for the cat scan , one amongst many I have had . Ugh dreadful things they are and I always have to cover my eyes when they are taking them in order not to be claustraphobic . Yes my friends I am also claustrophobic . Lovely huh ? I hope this will be the last one i have to have . Next monday we confer with the dr as to what direction we go from here ? Im hoping to be done with the home oxygen soon . Yes I had double pneumonia also for the last two months and I am so hoping it is gone by now , but who knows . Well just say our prayers and hope for the best . take care all and I am mailing out 7 pieces of mail today . I will get caught up I promise .

Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers and friends

Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers and friends and I wish you all a wonderful day full of family and friends and wonderful food and footbal (for those of you who watch ) . Have a safe and happy holiday and take care . Be back soon .

The Bird Sisters

Okay Im putting a call out to all my readers and see if anyone of them has a copy of this book titled "The Bird Sisters " By Rebecca Rasmussen . I would be more than glad to pay you for sending this book to me . It is just a book that I would really love to have and cannot find a copy anywhere in this town or the next one over and other book sites want too much for it and I cannot abide paying full price for anything anymore . I think that just creates more landfill problems , you know recycle reuse . I would be more than happy with used if it is still in readable condition . I want to thank all my readers in advance for any help you can give me .

Since Im feeling better

This has been quite the expierience having pneumonia that is . I have sat here and instead of letting my mind turn to mush I have come up with a whole new set of ideas of how to deco my envelopes being the avid letter writer that I am . Yes my husband seems to think that I have taken on the job of keeping the postal system in business single handedly LOL !! No not really just throwing that out there . It seems as though I have scared some of my fellow pen pals , now they read my letter first to make sure Im not in the hospital again . Believe me it was not my choice to be in the hospital it was fate that had their hands in that my dear readers . Believe me when I say I will try to avoid the hospital at all costs again or at least a hospital stay . Now back to what I was talking about . I have come up with some charecters that some of you will see from time to time . Im really thinking that I might just get into illustrations from different ideas that come across my brain from time to time .So those of you whom I write will see them from time to time on my letters and I would appreciate feedback from those if you are so inclined to do so . I will not reveal them until I get some feedback on them and will post a picture on this blog sometime in the future . Well that is all for now dear readers . Take care and stay safe .

posting from a friend

Postcard request
Got this from a friend today:
His school is collecting postcards from around the country and around the world for their diversity/international day in the early spring.
It doesn’t matter if they get multiples from each state, they're just trying to rock the class's world with the amount that Hunter can bring in!
So, if you wouldn’t mind sending a postcard to him, that would be great, I know we have people EVERYWHERE!
Before taking them in to the school Kelly plans to put them all out together and take a picture, she says she’ll be sure to share the picture when they’re done. There is no set deadline, but she's thinking if you can do it between now and the end of November that would be best.
Hunter Johnson8443 Sand Point Drive WestJacksonville, FL 32244
Feel free to share his address with any friends and family you may have in

I just got home from a stay at the hospital

Well I returned home today at around 5 pm from a three day stay at the hospital . Yes you read that right a three day stay . Now Im home and on in home oxygen therapy and I must make a follow up visit at a local clinic to stay on the oxygen . Im also on another round of anti biotics .I also have to go visit another dr but I must say I will have to call the drs office and let them know that I cannot afford them I doubt they will like that but that is the state of affairs in this country when you must pay outta pocket because you cannot afford health insurance even through your work has it offered but you cannot afford it .Im so tired of being sick and the price you have to pay for the illness . Oh well guess I will step down off my soap box now and tell all to have a great day .
