Wednesday

 This morning started a little different with an 8 o'clock visit to a PA that works with my heart doctor.  I was pleased. She was a great listener.  I'm on a heart monitor for two weeks to see if there are any peaks or valleys in heart rate.  I'll be checking blood pressures as well looking for highs and lows. We may discover something and we may never discover anything. My doctor friends who were with me when this all happened Sunday are very happy about the heart monitor decision.  I am as well. 

                                My hope is the memory will repeat itself in the garden this summer. 

Back home I tried to schedule a follow up after hospitalization with a neurologist.  That was a trial of errors taking a lot of time with nothing scheduled. The neurologist referred to has nothing available for a year. I'm wondering if she's on a baby break.  Nothing available is the word from the lady who schedules appointments. The attempt continues

                                                       Getting anxious to see in the 2024 garden.

I'm chilling out on this one.  That is easy to do since my get up and go seems to be in short supply.  I U will be contacting me when there is an answer about follow up.  Promises are made that cannot be kept! 

Kimmy has been busy.  Look at all those two handled mugs.  One firing of bisque equals three firing of glazed pots.  Salt pigs are in the back of the picture.  Mugs are on another table. 

Today my goal is to do a little sewing.  I have 8 cover-ups cut out that could be added to the 7 already finished. It's the last of the fabric.  Over 200 nursing kits have been mailed out to Goodwill areas in Indiana, each with a cover-up.  And by the end of the day the last 16 were ready for a trip to nurse Ginny saving one for myself as a reminder of how to make them again when asked.    

The big surjprise is how pretty the sheets are now a day.  I'm always thinking plain cotton.  I'll never buy new sheets when I can get such pretty ones at Goodwill.  

Today the lawn mowing folks arrived.  Yeah.  It's spring or so it seems.  I decided it was way to cold to walk the yard.  Not much will grow on such a cold day. 

I had fun texting with my Nancy friend in Cleveland.  Texting also happened with Adam and Jacob.  I love my five grandsons.  They are the best.  One is spending spring break in California.  

The soup supper came out again.  So delicious.  Rita shares her best.   And every day it tastes better.  How does that happen? The day is almost finished and that suits me to a T.

 Another interesting day with a lot of variety.  I left home around 8:30 heading for church.  I needed to measure the width of the sanctuary.  That was easy to do.  The floor tile is a foot square so just count the tile and divide by three.  Heidi was waiting on the porch for her ride and off we went east to Marvins.  We learned a whole lot about 38th Street.  Woo...they have it all dug up, doing a repave which has been needed for years.  Cars can go east but not west. We turned south at some point to 30th Street and then again east to Marvin's Wholesale Florist Supplies.  I wanted Heidi to see this place that supplies some things we use.  We had a great time looking at spools of ribbons for Gay Pride month and florist paper used to cover pots at Easter and Christmas.  We also bought light weight wire. Then back to church the whole way on 30th street.  Another detour at Meridian Street reminded us that it is summer in Indy.  It's a far trip to Marvin's but a trip that neede

 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

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
