Finally! Another REDnesday Post

Hello Everyone!

I want to thank all of you who have let such kind and supportive comments. I still continue to have issues. Right now it is mostly a lack of energy issue and dealing with the side effects of taking an antidepressant. I am sometimes not feeling well with a nauseated stomach and other issues. We decided to check the side effects and realized some of my current problems are probably side effects. The tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, not being able to sleep all night and so on. I go to the doctor again in a couple of weeks so I will ask about those things at that time. It has been so long since I slept more than 3 hours. Most nights I wake up every one to two hours. No wonder I am so tired. The pain in my shoulders also contribute to my lack of sleep as well. Oh, and if it is not that, then the hot flashes wake me up when they decide to come along. As my sister-in-law said, I can't seem to get a break.Fortunately I don't get the hot flashes all the time. They come in cycles it seems. But when I am really cold, then I say that I could use a hot flash at that time. Then I would get warm. But then they don't come when it would be useful. 

So anyway, I am so grateful for all the kind and supportive comments. I am still hoping for things to smooth out. In the meantime, I do the occasional thing in my sewing and craft stuff. I post about that sometimes on my craft blog. So if you haven't checked it out, you can get to it by clicking on the sewing machine in my side bar.

Now it is time for some RED things. I want to thank Sue at It's A Very Cherry World! for being the faithful host. I notice her participants list is growing. When I first started, it was still a small list. So let's see, what do I have that is RED for you this week.

One Saturday in January we went to The Container Store. It is out of town for us. Maybe about a 40 minute drive. It was interesting weather that day. Anyway, in our county is the Infineon Racetrack. Those who are NASCAR fans may have heard of this place. That RED sign is one of the gates to get inside. When there is a race going on, it makes for traffic issues for us. We try not to go this way when that is the case. I have gotten stuck in that traffic taking my daughter back to college one time. She has since graduated from college.

The main entrance is gate one. Sorry for the blurry picture, but we were in motion and I was trying to get a quick picture.

This is blurry too, but this is the sign that announces upcoming events at Infineon. And yes, that is a cow sculpture on top of the signs. There used to be a bunch of those around our area, but I don't see them anymore.

The weather was very interesting that day. Here we see some blue sky, but there are also rain clouds on the left there. People seem to enjoy seeing the scenery around our area. So I am inserting some of those pictures too. The RED is coming. Just hold on.

We get to where we are headed. Their sign is RED. You can see a RED car there too. Our car is RED, but I did not take a picture of it. Here it is not raining. But it started pouring just before we came out of the store. Also as we were driving here, we were in sun, then suddenly we were in pouring rain, then just as suddenly we were out of it again. So I guess it was that pouring rain had reached this area as we were trying to leave. I had ordered what we needed online and it was ready for us to pickup when we got there. That worked out great. We did not browse. If we did, we would have spent even more money.

This is what I mean about the crazy rain. We are in the rain, but there is blue sky in the distance. Just ignore those spots on my windshield. Our next two stops are also places with RED.

I wanted to show you this. Can you see that yellow arrow I put in the picture? I should have made it RED, but I don't know if that was an option. Anyway, that is San Quentin Prison which is on the San Francisco Bay. I did my fieldwork when I was in school at a prison hospital. Not at San Quentin though. Don't think I would want to do anything there.

I was fascinated by the various scenes as we drove to our next stop. Loved these clouds. Even with all the strange in and outs of the rain, we enjoyed our drive.

Ah. This was our second stop. Lunch at Applebee's. Lots of RED there. Enjoyed the lunch too. Although I forget what I ordered. 

Then it was to BEV MO! RED sign, RED doors. Interesting that all three stops had RED. I didn't go inside here. B-Daddy did his order online also, and it was ready for pickup when we got here. So what did I purchase at The Container Store?

Okay this bag doesn't have any RED. But there was RED inside.

The small parts were in this RED reusable bag. I thought that was cool. The install instructions cover has RED.

This RED box was also inside the bag. So, what did we do with all this? Just check out my sewing blog. I did a post there about it for a Whatcha Working on Wednesday. If I have a new post, then it is the post before that. One last RED thing.

I had some of this. It is good. And it helps settle my stomach when I am feeling nauseous. Been getting that a lot lately.  Thank you again for all the kind comments. I hope to be getting around to visiting all of you soon. I need to do some catching up with everyone and see what you have been up to. 

Happy Wednesday!
