Is it time?

 As you may or may not know...My "bed" has been my chair for most of the month.  Last night another try at lying down.  A most uncomfortable night was the outcome.  Things take the time they take.  Yes...Mary Oliver.  My time just doesn't happen to be the time it takes.  So...at 4 am back on the chair with a good 4 hour sleep.  I hear you Mary Oliver.  

And the conclusion to yesterdays events tell me...better timing needs to happen.  Back to back visits with the home health care nurse and PT person and then a short visit with a good friend.  Zooming with the choir ended the evening.  Trying to stay on top of all this is another one of my pit falls.  I don't need to stay on top!  A great lesson to learn.  Somethings need to go...somethings need to stay.  

Today, I would love to have a shower.  This might gross my readers out but...I have had a wash down and a hair shampoo at the sink but no shower since the morning of Feb. 1.  My leg is healing wonderfully, well my back can get a great wash with no staples and Doug is now more at ease with water running over my head wound.  It's time, Mary.  It's time.  

The world in Indiana promises to warm up soon.  The snow this morning with the sun shinning on it looks like diamonds reflections from our front window.  Time for a little warmth to come to the bird feeders.  They have been a gift I enjoy while doing PT at the kitchen sink.  Seeing a big robin try to attach himself to the suite is a challenge for him.  .  I'm learning more about challenges as well.

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...

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 s...

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....
