Feeling Like a Million Bucks

Oh good day GOOD day to you all!
It’s so beautiful here in Idaho this afternoon.  I’m looking out of my big office window as I type this and it’s mountains and blue sky as far as I can see.  The silver sage seems to be glowing across the street from my house.  Talulah is at the curb, wagging her tailpipe.  The sun feels so fresh, so gold, so holy.  I think if I didn’t have a better grip on myself, I might fall down in a dead faint from the beauty that is in everything.

Some days are like that.  You know?  I hope you know.

 To let you in on the tornado of life:  Last week I was officially diagnosed as hypothyroid and hugely hypoglycemic (my blood sugar level is akin to someone who has been fasting for multiple days– ALL THE TIME — I really AM a hummingbird, I have to eat very, very often).  It explains so much.  My doctor is amazing.  I feel so much hope.  Those dreadful weeks when I was downright sick in the summertime are but a vague memory (I didn’t let you in on the worst of it).  Someone is working hard to make me better.  I’m so thankful.  I am so thankful.
You’ve been so patient with me.  Thank you!

I’m so glad RW is home, he’s so steady, I’m so glad to hold his hand while I make it through all of this.

In other news, I made some things:

And now I’m going to list them.
Sending you so much verve and love today,
Plume

PS  I bought these today!  Kinda wild, huh?


:::EDIT:::
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT YESTERDAY!
I work for the most incredible people in the world.
Truly.
Thank you, one million times, with a cherry and chocolate sprinkles on top.

    Oh sweet MAMA!

    Those glasses are divine.

    I like these: http://www.etsy.com/listing/50092672/vintage-green-metallic-flower-cats-eye

    And I like you.

    And those beauties you posted are divine, too.

    [Of course.]

    I have had / am having similar struggles with food and body and being that I think I should write in a letter to you … shared experience in some ways I'm sure.

    Maybe tonight.

    Until then…
    xo.

  5. Oh my…I know exactly what you're going through…not fun. Still getting out of my hypothyroid rut…I've definitely got the hypoglycemic condition too…have to eat every 3-4 hours or else I go savage and consequently faint. Are the two related?? hmm…
    Glad to hear you are on the mend!! It truly can affect so much. Never did I know this until now. Also…is the bread switch helping too?? Hmm…so much to ponder.

    Soo happy you are feeling better!!! Unfortunately, it is quite the roller-coaster to experience. Hugs.

  6. *hugs* you are a gorgeous woman and I'm so glad that you're feeling better and that you know why you were feeling "bleh".

    Sending you lots of love.

  7. Hey, I'm hypothyroid; have been for many years. Lots of experience. Mail or message me if you have questions!

    The good news is that I've done just fine on replacement hormone. The few snags I've encountered have been learning experiences.

  8. I saw those glasses on the Etsy front page and immediately thought of you. I assumed (correctly?!) that you see the FP so I didn't pass the link on. So glad that they are now yours!!

    And I'm glad that RW is home by your side to keep you safe as well.

    Hugs.

  9. OH! and PS- LOOOOVE your new, beautiful things!!!! 😀

  10. so so so glad to hear you are feeling so fantastic! and that you have answers to what was ailing you.

  13. Lovely creations!

    "Some days are like that. You know? I hope you know."

    I know!

    You look beautiful. Your pieces look beautiful.

    Ha… and I'm a hypERthyroid and had to remove my thyroid gland a few years back. I'm now sporting an intriguing scar on my throat along with a chemically induced metabolism.

    But it's good to finally get that diagnose, right?

    Love the new pieces. 🙂

    Oh. To all my fellow thyroiders out there: May we all achieve hormonal balance with the help of synthetic thyroid and thereby achieve metabolic perfection on a cellular level. Amen.

    It's always nice to know I'm not alone.

    Thanks also for loving on my new work AND for approving of my choice in vintage frames:) I really hope I only look 50% dorky with them on!

    My email inbox awaits!!!

    how relieved it must be to name the monster(s)… and thus have direction for knowledge and treatment, etc.

    hope all your days are happy and healthy!
