Snowy Weekend!

We don't get alot of snow here in So CA, so having snow showers for 2 days in a row is a rarity! We just planted our tomatoes a couple of weeks ago, so thankful that my husband remembered to cover them! They survived, I walked around the yard today & didn't see any frost damage except for the tops of the nasturtiums. I think they will be OK though. It has been so cold, in the 40s & 50s during the daytime. Today it was nice out, clear & in the 60s, a beautiful Lord's Day!

CARAC Treatment

I am hoping & praying this treatment works. I am a little leary as I haven't had the bad side effects that most people have while using this cream on the face area. I'm on Day 10 of the treatment for what my dermatologist calls "sun damage" above my lips. The cream kills off any pre-cancerous cells. So far I haven't had any discomfort other than my lips feeling dry & chapped. No scabs or open, bleeding sores which most people get. I am thankful for that but hoping the cream is doing its job!

Day 1:

Day 10:

Looks like I may have some scabs forming, hopefully the cream will do it's thing in the next 4 days so I will be done with it! Have to see my Dr. next Monday. If this treatment doesn't work she may do a biopsy which she says will leave a scar. Hoping I don't have to have that done but if I do at least I will know that I tried this first!

Blogging Again!

Hello! It's been a few years since I've blogged but I'm hoping to start back up again & keep up with it. I have some things that I want to keep a diary of & this seems to be the best way to do it! So, I'm gonna try again!

I am on Day 10 of using CARAC cream on my upper lip for sun damage. It is supposed to kill any pre-cancerous skin cancer cells but has some unsightly side effects (dry, cracking skin & open sores). So far it's not too bad but supposed to get worse before I'm done. I have been taking pics everyday so that I have a record of when things happen. I have used this once before & I couldn't remember what happened on which day so am hoping that by blogging about it I will have a record in case I have to use it again.

I love a good bargain & saving money so I hope to keep a record of the deals I am able to get & the coupons I use. There are alot of wonderful blogs out there that list the deals at each store for the week which I use & am thankful for but this will not be that kind of blog. They are a huge help to me & anyone who uses coupons, but this will be just for my personal record. I should have started at the beginning of the year so that I would be able to know my savings for the year but better late than never!

My husband & I love to garden so hopefully our gardening adventures will be here too.

Thanks so much for stopping by, please come by & visit again!
