Something different. Ugh!

 Just had a hard time getting started today so I decided to do some Goodwill shopping.  It's a place that occupies my mind and I needed that.  I found a pair of pants.  Good deal.  6.99.  Got home and decided to go through my drawers.  Two pairs of pants worn out are gone so the loss is not so great.  Since the radiation outcome is a loss of 20 pounds my pants are not fitting so well.  So going a size smaller is working.  Jello still is my favorite food!  Other options are slowly emerging.  

This afternoon I had a follow-up MRI breast scan.  Something I don't like to think about.  It's not so much what might be there because I don't stress about that. I would be OK no matter what.   I think but I'm not sure the problem could be that I would just like to have a body that doesn't need to be messed with.   I had the same problems with the dentist.  Just leave me alone medically.  So I need to work on the thinking part of the body.   The pathology department put this breast idea on the plate of possibilities and I don't think any of the doctors believed that possibility.   So we're just doing what the protocol is for what might have been but wasn't.  

The possywillow took a big hit last night.  A couple of years ago I bought two little twigs to plant.  This summer they really put on a lot of growth.  Last night one of them became deer food.  So...instead of a bush I now have just a bunch of live twigs with a lot of limbs torn from the bush.  The other one is fine.  I sprayed it with deer off but I don't think I can do that all winter long for the rest of their lives.  You win some and you lose some.  It remains to be seen what's in the win and loss column.  

It's Friday evening soon.  Another week of living and I'm good with that.

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

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
