Wednesday...first full day.

 The night report...lots of short little naps with a hole from 2 to 3:30 with a little TV and a crossword I forgot to do earlier in the day.  Then back to bed with two Tylenol for pain. I would say it was a relatively easy night.  

Today was a day of sleeping and musical chairs with me the only one playing the game.  Woo...it was a slow-down day just happy to be at home and able to comply with orders from the doctor.  I walked the garden this morning finding more tiny swamp milkweed starts.  This is a great spring for that.  Now to keep them going.  A call from the doctor's office assured the nurse that I was following all the suggestions given.  I can take a shower tomorrow and get rid of the tight binder.  The doctor stitched up the inside of me and glued the outside.  I'll hang together well. 

This afternoon Doug found the rabbit.  A deer ran across the yard with her tiny almost newborn fawn following behind and stopping to nurse for a few minutes.  We really have quite a collection of animals close by which includes the third chipmunk to appear.  We haven't caught this one yet but I suspect we will very soon. Doug spotted a hawk soon after finding the rabbit and chipmunk.  Now those three should go together.  All this happened while occupying the chairs on the patio.  

                            The baby was so tiny but had no difficulty keeping up with its mother. 

It's been a while since we've had rain.  There was a tease this afternoon.  I managed to fill a bucket half full and do a bit of watering.  That's a gal. at a time.  I think I did three half-buckets.  That was enough for today.  

The Michigan family texted a lot this morning.  The seniors walked through the grade school and middle school with their caps and gowns on.  The high school is right beside the two schools mentioned. Graduation will be live-streamed tomorrow evening.  We'll have an MSU freshman in the family. 

 Jacob is in the middle of this group of graduates.  The gold ropes indicate honor recognitions the kids received a couple of weeks ago.


So the first whole day of being once again free of cancer happened.  It's been a strange and confusing at times journey.  One not easy to understand.  But there's been another rainbow sighting.  Another promise. Another day of healing.    Great is thy faithfulness.

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
