Wednesday

  On to Wednesday.  Where has the time gone?  Maybe gone with the wind might be one answer.  I was talking with a friend a few days ago that spend time with family in Nebraska and South Dekota.  There is nothing to stop the wind there and it blows a lot and with furry.  So what is in the news column today?  The alarm went off.  I didn't set it but I did learn to turn it off so it stops ringing every Wednesday no matter what.  I think it was another Jared move not wanting me to forget him.  How could I?  His birthday is Saturday and there has been a lot of fun over the years with that kiddo.   There was breakfast and just quiet for a while.  Then off to the knitting store for more yarn.  The pickings were a bit slim in my basket.  I bought some paint pens for a project coming soon with my Live Strong friends.  Back home again and soon I was on the way to church meeting Heidi and James for a good work day...

Tuesday

 Busy day after a good night of sleep.  Now that's a good combination. I sat for awhile with coffee in hand and then started another scarf with no hurry in mind.  The plan was to participate in two classes at the Y today with a repeat of the martial arts class on Thursday including another Living Strong get together.  The calendar says that will work.   There was a surprise with one of my neighbors being in the strengthening class.  We were pardoners.  It promises to be a lot of fun.  Then there was time for a half mile treadmill walk and then on to what I call sort of a Japanese martial arts class.  That one is harder with specific moves in specific ways.  Good training for the brain which mine has been without for way to long.  Both sessions have teachers that I would say know for sure what they are doing and how to teach those skills.  Woo, Hoo.  Those two classes went from  11:15 to almost 2 with a little bre...

Monday

 I'm getting a "sign into my google account" sign when wanting to post pictures.  Bad, Bad!  So now pictures tonight.  We'll see how this goes.  Another start to a five-day week.  I know...there really are seven days in the week.  But the five still are sort of alike.  Well, sort of.  It was an early wake up and I just went with it.  Breakfast, Pills, Toothbrushing.  Most of us do a little of each at some point in our lives.   I decided to make a run at finishing the scarf I was working on and that happened.  The basket of scarves went with me to the Y and Living Strong.  Arriving early, I was able to get my mile walk in before we met.  It wasn't going to happen after because of our monthly church gathering for lunch at McAlister's.  When the other ladies arrived bit by bit, everyone picked out a scarf they liked. My goal for the morning was to get over some humps or holes I thought were holding us...

Sunday

               Add at least 12 more and you get the idea of the entertainment that is seen at the window. There is not much to write about this Sunday that is different than any other Sunday.  So, we'll see how this goes as it comes out of my head on to my fingers.  One can be surprised.   It was so wonderful to wake up in a warm bed thinking there wasn't a reason to explode out of that bed.  So, I just stayed put for a while.  But the clock said it was time to move at one point.  Then I did.  There was breakfast, paper fetching and bird feeding.  The blue birds were a delight again.  I yelled come and get it which they followed that instruction with a grade of A+.  I started a new, you know what.  Moved the burp bag to the car for Ginny and noticed it was time to leave for church.   We honored three ladies today who came to church almost as babies, now in the late 80's and...

Saturday

 I'm a little late starting the blog but there was an important happening early evening.  So here goes the attempt.  It was a good morning for a Saturday.  I still enjoy Saturday even though all the other days  feel like a Saturday when I was working five days a week.                                        Nigela, One of the earliest flowers to bloom.  It self seeds every year! There was a whole lot of bird watching, feeding and thawing bird bath water.  The Blue Birds really like water with their food.  The others don't have water so much on their want list unless it might be for play in the bathtub time.  There were hordes of Blue Birds this afternoon filling the feeder way over the number indicated safe for the space. The fire marshal was nowhere to be seen. I picked up the new yarn to knit and then realized that it reall...

Friday

 Another good night of sleep.  There is no answer to why, so I'll just take the good night.  I started another scarf with some pretty yarn knowing I didn't have enough but started it anyway.  I got pretty far before it was 8:30. Time to start thinking about a trip in the car to PT at 9.  I discovered it takes a 5-minute chunk of time to make the trip.   I met my two friends Michael and student soon to be teacher Daren. It's 7 years of training before one can call themselves a PT. They are doctors at that point.  Daren took over.  I did 10 minutes on the Nu Step warming up the muscles and talking to both of them while pedaling.  Then the subject was vestibular ear testing.  And with testing completed there was evidence that the right ear was in trouble.  It didn't surprise me at all.  I thought something was going on having learned to compensate for the dizzies.  Crystals found where they belong in the ear create good ...

Thursday

 Today had some interesting parts a little different than other days.  It started out to be the same old same old as JB would say.  That's short for Jared Bryon.  So, here goes the day.                                                Now, this could not get any prettier.  A beautiful Hibiscus. Up at about the same time with breakfast, TV and pills.  The same old same old for sure.  Then let's add knitting to the S O S O.  I finished another scarf, so the basket is filling fast since I didn't empty it completely when giving Ginny her bag full.  That took me to Living Strong time which started a bit later this morning.  I arrived later also.  Most folks were there but some were not.  And the morning continued with a whole lot of visiting on many topics. It was a social morning for sure. ...
