Sunday before Monday.

 Advent calendars...there are markers that visually tell how many days till Christmas.  

My version...  I received and started taking nutritional drinks 5 days ago.  There is a drink for noon and a drink for supper left in the box..  The box will be empty tonight.  So the marker is not a Christmas Day marker but a surgery morning marker.  Tomorrow is the day with an hospital arrival at   6 am..  

But now for yesterday.  The energy spirt was back on again.   The kitchen floor is beautiful, if a floor is ever beautiful having been  washed and then waxed..  I did some pitching out, straightening up, looking over and scrubbing down.  It was a very good day.  Snow and God took  care of policing  the  outside Thank be to God for  covering a dead looking yard with many flower bed waiting for the miracle of spring, seen from the living room window.    That was so appreciated.  

So today my plan...(maybe God is laughing) is to call a few friends, having good visits over the phone.  Attend church in the computer room and then looking forward for a phone call with my minister hearing a prayer for healing.  It should be a simple day.  ( God are you listening)  I'd like to think that a visit to Wild Birds Unlimited could be on the afternoon schedule.  It's a place that brings so much pleasure.  Birds are friends we don't earn.  Just friends who visit with each other at the kitchen window.  I'm just in the background peeking over their shoulder. 

And now to you...I am so aware there are healing prayers being said by so many people on my behalf.  I am blessed.  God is listening. Most of the pre operation is completed.  The world is waiting and Doug and I and the doctors, nurses, cleaning folks, food service folks, physical therapy team at Methodist are ready.  Pray for those I left out as well.  That is a huge prayer list to remember in the coming days.   


So now for the day...God be near...No...GOD IS NEAR.

    Happy you had such a very good day! You sure had lots of energy. Always a good feeling when things get done and look so nice. I like your comments about the birds. I sure do enjoy them.
    I am praying for you and all those you listed and any you left out too. You are right....GOD IS NEAR!
    We have been praying and we will be praying before and during your surgery tomorrow. Hugs and love sent your way.

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
