OOPS! Distractions.

 OOPS...that's for sure.  Radiation this morning as usual.  Sort of like brushing your teeth.  It's good for you but you might forget.  Our lawn weed man fried a few flower plants.  So...this morning I found a few replacements for the annuals and pulled the sick plants for the garbage can.  Such a bummer but happens more times than I want to think of.  It's called drift.  Noah arrived and we started to plant.  So most are in but finishing tonight when the sun is a little softer.  

The doctor gave me his weekly report.  It would seem that it's the 4th week report.  Skin seems to be hanging in there and he things it will be OK for the next two weeks.  A big check of my mouth and throat.  Sores sometime happen at this point but that area seems to be now in the positive zone.  Blood pressure number is low so drink more water to get that bottom number up.  I'll do better.  Loosing weight...not to much but need to see a nutritionist who might make some helpful suggestions about food..  Loosing weight and healing don't go together.  Hope to see some improvement.  The thing that tastes the best is again mint icecream.  Doug doesn't  think that is  a balanced diet.  Humm...I had a milkshake tonight.  Improvement?  Not sure. 

Noah and I visited with our next door neighbor's mother who is visiting from Illinois.  Such a nice lady.  She is here because her grandson and family are visiting from California.  There's a 5 year old birthday party going on with a HUGE blow up slip and slide full of children.  Sounds like the old recess days.  

So today was planting day with watering at necessary places.  My energy seems to be holding up well.  That's a huge thanks be to God and an unexpected gift beyond measure.  .  Another thanksgiving is that my sister is in her second day of recovery after knee surgery and doing well.  I am so grateful that after a long period of looking forward to surgery that included a painful body she is now on the other side of the event sharing that life is really much better just one day after surgery.  Better days are ahead for her.  So the day, even though there was an oops in journaling it has been a good one.  Many, many things to list on the thankful side of life.  I am blessed.

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

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

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
