 There was a great night of sleeping.  In fact I usually wake up to take a thyroid pill in the middle of the night because there can be no food in my stomach before and after the pill gets there.  I didn't get a pill last night.  Bummer, I guess.   My Christmas Cactus has turned into a happy little plant.  I thought it was a goner this spring.  They say they don't need much water.  I guess it was more than I thought was the right amount.  I'm not so hot with house plants.   This morning was the last of three shots taken every two weeks for a month.  From now on shots are once a month. So, Doug and I were off to I U North Cancer Center again.  And with cancer comes unexpected waits just because priorities are always changing at the treatment center.  Taking care of folks just makes that happen.  So, for many reasons, some relating to my medicine, what is a 20 second injection usually means that I'll be at the center for at least an hour.  That's just the way it is.

It was a super morning.  A morning that felt like it was time to get to doing!  So, there was an oatmeal breakfast then a little coffee and TV and then remembering that I wanted to do a little clipping of Daliah's.  You know, the more you clip the more you get.  So snipping is good.  I snipped Daliah and then cosmos and then a few other things with the hope that a few of those would self-seed.  I did find some zinnias and dill that have self-seeded already.  Sad for them, they won't make it through the winter.  Being an eager beaver is not a good thing this time of the year.                                         The only little girl I'll have, and she loves to dance among the Lantana.                                                                             Orange has overruled this year.  Next year...not so much.  I added more B Blue worthy stuff to the alre
