IN Carmel

 Trash day and I was on it.  This time Chuck in the B Blue Truck got some chocolate chip cookies.  And that came with a street visit with neighbor Gina.  Winter weather that arrives soon usually brings some isolation from neighbors with a big spring introduction again.  So, visiting whenever one can is a good thing.  And this morning it was a Gina and Chuck visit.  Gina has food allergies, so Chuck was the winner.  I took a stroll around the garden with the brain busy about all sorts of things.  Yesterday's zinnia flower crop was put in a paper bag and now sits by the register with the hope of finishing the drying process before mold gets to it.  I should have good luck with that process. I pulled the last sweet peppers this morning.  The crop has been good with growing every color of pepper there might be.  I'm hoping for stuffed peppers tonight.  Guess I'm the one that needs to make that happen. The morning was filled wi...

  There is good news.  The living room windows are CLEAN.  If you were wishing for something better,  sorry.  Maybe next time my brain will surprise me and you.  The weather was great and better yet, I remembered the windows.   The morning started a bit slow with knitting.  Five minutes into the scarf and it was finished.  I just wasn't in the mood for those five minutes last night.  I started a new scarf, but it's sort of stuck in wait, needing to do other things. Last night's football news...Dallas lost and Arizona was on a roll for sure.  I did a little delivery of Soup Kitchen take out clams to church and more clams to be marked with heating instructions taken to Rita.  So, I was up and down Meridian Street which took care of the rest of the morning.  Since the weather was great, I pulled a few more zinnias and straw flowers for seeds.  There has been no hard frost. The Dahlias are waiting for their digging. ...

 Monday, a start day to the work week. I'm retired but there still is work to do.  That is if I want to do it.  There was a great sleep again even though we turned the clocks back yesterday.  Sometimes sleep doesn't take advantage of the extra hour.  In this day and age, for me,it's just another go with the flow kind of thing.  But the day light was obvious, and it was time to rise and shine.  7:45 A M.  I give 200 MG Gabapentin and the cpap machine all the credit.   I knitted for most of the morning finishing one Boe Tie Scarf and starting another that I worked on during the day when there was time to knit.   The morning was spent at Whispering Hearing.  Doug is always prompt about scheduling a yearly appointment.  I'm not like that.  Since there never is a change, why spend 50. dollars for someone to tell me that all is well and all is the same.  But I got a little antsy and decided to find out if all was ...

 Last night as you all know was fall back time.  And I did that.  I also think the Blue Jay's were blown to the next planet.  That homerun with the pitcher designated batter I think sent a hurricane north and the birds fell right out of the tree losing their footing.   Bummer, bummer.  It was a seven-game series of hard played baseball.  When they went into extra innings I went to bed and heard the report this morning. It's over and done.  The Pacers won last night and today the Colts were positioned to win but they didn't.  All things come to an end.  But never need to stay there. So it was knitting this morning with another bow tie scarf off the needles this afternoon. I'm checking with Ginny to see if her baby mothers could use a scarf. They are piling up. The sewing machine got a well-deserved rest.  Then it was off to church a few minutes earlier than some Sundays.  I'm adding books to the book give away.  Hannah...

  There was nothing on the calendar today, so I guess the choice of what to do was up to me.  Woo, woo.  I am going to list a few choices. Sewing, Y, shopping, library.  What will it be? Oops...Not the Y.   It's one of the busiest places on any Saturday.  Walking around the block would be a good substitute. Shopping Goodwill's would be the first choice on the list.  I LOVE the hunt.  It can go on for a long time and all over the north side of Indy.  I can get to ten stores easily.  That includes Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville. Do I want more fabric for burps? Yes.  Do I need more burps? No.  200 are waiting to be delivered. 50 more are in the pipeline.  I need another sewing project or perhaps another organization that works with babies and families. Either would do.  Do I need another hobby.  Probably so.   Now that November is here, I need to begin thinking Georgia.  Some things are t...

 Here we go again. Another day of doing important things such as taking care of my health.  There was another good night of sleep for sure telling myself I didn't want to get up.  That's a good thing for me.  But I rolled out a little after 7 taking my time. There were breakfast and a little cleaning up.  Not much, just a little.  I found the Whisper Hearing appointment card and discovered I had not entered this on my calendar.  That's really a bad thing but the appointment is next Monday.  Woo!   Today was my bloodwork day and my Fulvestrant shots.  Humm...I discovered my phone said they were scheduled for 8 am.  And it was 7:50 already.  It's a 10-minute drive to the hospital.  So out the door I went with no hesitation.  Five minutes late bothered me more than it bothered the desk workers who get the ball rolling for patients.  There was even time for talk which was a good thing.  Blood was drawn and ...
