A New Day

 Another gift received with the need to regift.  It's a beautiful sunny morning.  The ice has been broken on the birdbath.  Their food once again is out and ready for them.  Although their numbers seem to be smaller than a month ago, we are enjoying the visitors who come alongside.  The Palm Sunday palms have been watered, the Poinsettia have received their icecubes for the day and the Christmas Cactus has a few buds beginning to appear.  All of those daily checks are finished.  It's Doug's morning for health checks.  I'm happy to pass that along. So I'm home alone!  Those checks seem to be our big-time events in our 80th decade.  Bummer!  They do seem to be working when I think of it.  Enough said!  

Yesterday I had my big anticipated visit with James, my PT guy.  Woo!!!  Two months in the planning!  But...yes BUT, James is leaving the PT world, looking for something new.  Yes...My 5th health care worker leaving my life in the last 6 months.  I'm getting used to that, I must say.  So it was a wonderful visit, catching up on all that happened this past year and wishing him well where ever he may land.  It will be a good landing for a very wonderful helper and friend.  He also was my sister's PT a few years ago.  That was not planned but just happened!

I immediately started to look for a new PT evaluator and have an appointment Wed. with someone attached to the I U Medical World.  Just another change to keep me on my toes.  I'll miss James, who put me back together after knee and shoulder surgeries as well as balance issues.  I do need to find an ENT doctor.  That slot is still empty.  I continue to have issues with vertigo which might just become the new me.  It is evident at night only when turning on my right.  The side that received radiation.  Those little ear crystals don't like that turn.  I don't like that turn either making the room take off with a huge spin when it isn't!  I try to stay left!!!

Knitting continues.  Watching the Tranquil Pottery website is exciting to see what is sold and what beautiful kiln pieces are added for sale. It's a busy time for the Michigan family.  Always learning is their mantra.  

Looking forward to a day at home, happy to be the lady in the house.  Peace and Love wishes are my regifting words to this Tuesday.

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
