Wednesday

 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.  I use all the happenings during that hour as entertainment, so it is what it is.  Nothing more, nothing less. I use the time to text friends among doing other things. We were back home by noon. 

            There was a long sit at titling my thumbs, but I was happy do have that to do. My view! 

And because the B Blues were still full, I checked the neighbors.  Finding room I filled one of theirs and carried some of the rest of the stuff to the burn pile.  There is another pile waiting for next Wednesday B B day.  


It was cookie time knowing that cookies are the entrance key to the Michigan Russell house. It's just the plain old Toll House cookie recipe but I should be making a change to the Judy Workman recipe.  Hers are the best and I never think of it in time to make the change.  So, the ice cream bucket is full of cookies and the pickle pillows are in the car so now what's left to do?  Pack a few clothes and tomorrow we're off to the north country finally.  We'll be there till Sunday afternoon.  

I hope to see more of these and motor on down to Daliah Hill at some point while we are in Midland.

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
