Tuesday afternoon.

 Morning priorities ruled and for today the blog is an afternoon priority.  Some days are like that even in Australia,  Alexander would say.  The morning included a great PT session again.  Michael is so helpful in understanding the vestibular system that affects Vertigo. I love getting my questions answered.  Once again it was sweating time.  The garden time this summer should be one to enjoy if all the muscle developing stuff happens.  The vestibular eye, ear, and feet training will pay off with better balance.  I can tell a difference already.  It only should get better. I am going to be ready for fun in the dirt.    

My next stop this morning was at the library only just around the corner from the PT facility.  Carmel's main downtown library has been closed for almost two years now with a reopening later this fall after a huge addition in space. The current library is located close to home in an old Marsh Grocery store building.  Instead of rows of canned goods, fresh vegetables, and more there now are rows of books.  




One of my huge beefs concerns how heavy books are getting   There must be some mysterious agent added that would seem to prevent me from carrying as many books as I would like to move home.  The older I get the more it seems to be a problem. 

Doing a little thinking about how to solve this dilemma I thought of a cart on wheels. That solution was made very simple to solve when I thought of a January 2021 event.   When getting ready for surgery, I received a huge list of things to do including dietary supplements.  The carrier for those supplements now is my perfect solution allowing a stack of books bigger than I can carry to come home with me. 

The answer was waiting in the closet.  I love it when a plan comes together.  (Too many TV memories)This new friend followed me all around the library getting fuller and fuller and was quite the conversation starter.  A friend filling a need is a friend indeed.  


Once again there are lots of garden books and three nonfiction.  Call the Nurse, True stories of a country nurse on a Scottish Isle, Flat Broke with Two Goats and This Blessed Earth.  A year in the life of an American Farm Family.  

I hope to learn something!  


It's been an interesting day.  Another gift coming my way.  

Michael is one of those gifts.  Books are included in the gift catagory.

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
