Wednesday

 

                            Ready for Sunday.  I found her at the monastery a couple of years ago.  

Up not so early after a great night of sleep.  My first stop today was at the DMV to submit my papers for a handy capped parking ticket. That went smoothly with no problems.  The forms printed from the computer were filled out correctly and I walked out about 30 minutes after arriving.  My goodness.  The DMV is very near Goodwill and of course you know where I went.  


                        New heavy flannel.  What a deal.  Each sheet 3.99 and then 20% off of the total.  

I used the parking sticker at Goodwill. It really was a huge help. I found two very nice new flannel sheets with the correct price surprise, surprise.  The same price as at my favorite Nora shop.  They came home with me.  I refolded the top sheet and took off the elastic on the bottom sheet getting that ready for ripping AND more baby burps.   

Then it was time to hit the cancer book again.  It is so interesting with so many details concerning how treatments evolved during the 1800's. A lot happened.  Some good and some really bad. Medicine is a practice you have heard.  Living in the 21st century certainly has its perks when it comes to treatment.  

                         Same book you saw yesterday or maybe the day before.  I can't remember. 

Around 1:30 I was ready for the Y. Doug was also.  Another new beginning. And that blue sign certainly came in handy when parking again.  Unlike Doug, I was a very slow walker for about 50 minutes listing to U Tube Christmas music. I loved the diversion and looked forward to tomorrow even before I left the Y.  It felt like another home away from home. 

I continued to work on a Christmas something.  I can't give any clues other than it makes me laugh just thinking about it.  Each family will get one.  It's such a bummer that Kimmy reads the blog.  Maybe a bummer!  There are no secrets if I post and she reads.  And there are no pictures.  One is finished and one more to go although I want a third one for myself.  

                        An old Christmas picture.  Beats me where I took this.  I've slept since then. 

Supper was turkey veg. soup.  Something just a bit different than split pea.  This morning Jared asked about the corn chowder I made a few weeks ago.  Well, I looked at recipes and then made my own soup with what was in the refrigerator after the Thanksgiving meal was over.  Soup is always a little of this and that in my mind.  That's what the chowder was.  They loved it but they were really hungry after cleaning all day. But if your favorite foods are corn and mashed potatoes, why would you not like corn chowder. 

It's another no picture taking day with one exception.  I'll need to dig something up for some added excitement.

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...

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

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 s...

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....
