Friday

 Sleepy start to the day but I managed to get it started at a decent time. TV this morning was a recap of last night.  Nothing new that I didn't know since I watched last night.  So, I moved on.  I decided that I would try another trip around the block.  It was a crisp morning and the walk went well. I was happy to get back home taking the shorter route.  Maybe Sunday will be longer.  I'm giving it an every other day try. 

                           I've add my hand to the show how big these zinnias heads have grown.  

They are Benary Zinnias.  I found the seeds at the garden shop but also have purchased some on line.

                I spent a little time in the garden taking a few pictures but not much more than that. 


Doug had the paper to read and then we were off to Aldi's.  He needed his pop tarts; lunch stuff and I needed my cottage cheese and eggs.  Necessities of the day plus a few other things.  We're getting pretty good at packing quickly at the store and stashing stuff away at home in record time.  It makes life possible.  


In the same center as Aldi's is Goodwill and Doug stopped there for me.  I found a fleece sheet that would work with the burps.  There was afternoon time to prepare the fabric for burps.  I didn't do very many.

Then it was a Meijers visit. I've lost some weight 20 lb.and am sure that Dr. Schneider will mention it.  I was told to drink protein drinks after my first surgery and during radiation treatments.  I think I'll hear the same on Monday.  Protein is necessary to promote healing so we bought a big box of Boost to drink.  Cancer takes away ones wanting to eat.  So, I'll DRINK the good stuff still eating as much as I can muster.  The total number of calories eaten is just not enough to maintain weight.  

I spent some time preparing 60 plastic bags for soup kitchen tomorrow.  Every little bit of prep makes the morning go just a bit smoother.  Fewer bumps is a good thing making time for the unexpected.  


We've used a Have a Heart trap for some time taking care of chipmunks.  This year we've had a lot of those little creatures as well as red squirrels and lots of birds in the trap.  It's never baited.  Curiosity just gets them into trouble.  Today, a new friend goofed.  A little, little bunny.  And he went to the same place we have taken all the unlucky animals.  I was thinking of my beets on this one.  

I did a little burp marking and sewing.  It wasn't one of those marathon afternoons.  Just a little sewing. After supper we drove to Broad Ripple to get Eric from work.  It's great to see him at the end of the day.  Tonight, will be a chair evening.   .

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
