Tuesday

Today, I worked on keeping my mind in the right place.  Sometimes that can be a problem.  I had some help for this dilemma which was good.  The morning stuff was pretty much the same as you have heard of over and over. I did a little more clipping and added suet back on the shepherd's crook. I did a walk around the block and talked to a long time neighbor for a while.  Listening to the next paragraphs, you might catch on to the help part of the day. Sometimes cancer can mess up one's mind in addition to the body. Neither are very good. 

                            There is a lot of color on this little hill.  The spring planting is paying off. 

I headed out a little before 11 with blood pressure information for the doctor at I U North.  I tired to phone the weeks results but the phone rang over and over again at her office.  I'm not a good phone waiter. My trip out was going to take me near the hospital.  I just dropped the information off at her office.  Done, Finished, Over.  

                Changed a few things.  Added more food with winter on it's way one of these months.

Then it was on to near by Meijers to get four gal. of distilled water for my CPap Machine.  Back in the car and off to the restaurant for lunch with my Old teaching buddies of years and years ago.  Yes, another monthly meeting.  This time it was a Mexican Restaurant.  By far my least favorite place to eat but the environment was interesting.  The food...I can do without.  Our waiter was super, the three friends like the food and we talked a WHOLE lot.  

Back home to pick up my library books for a drop off.  A new stack of gardening books eventually came home again for another good look through some beautiful gardening pictures.  

Before the return home again part happened, I stopped at Rosie's to check on the arrival of fall vegetables.  And yes, they had arrived but the cabbage plants I wanted had all been removed already.  What a bummer.  All the "left" vegetables would be maturing in November.  Way to late for me. I looked around the gift shop which is such an interesting place to spend time.  I purchased a snail and mushroom for my fairy garden.  I'm a good pretender.

                                The ferries are still in the garden.  Doug's dogs are taking up space.

Then home again with the decision to plant lettuce where I was saving space for other fall vegetables.  So I'm declaring myself to be over cabbage and more. 

                    Two packages of lettuce seed.  I could have used a third one. Now it's waiting time.

By then it was three O'clock and remembered that I hadn't eaten lunch.  So, that happened, still leaving me with a tired body.  I guess it takes more than food to provide the get up and go that a nap usually provides.  

    A healthy Mother-in-law tongue.  I thought I earned it.  I love the size.  I hope my tongue matches. 

It's gr. beef meat roll up tonight for supper.  Peppers are scheduled for tomorrow night. Dee, I just want your mouth to water a lot thinking about what is on the table around five from time to time.  

So, there were distractions today.  The need for them always starts early when scan time nears. But this time I live with the hope that my Friday blood test numbers will return to a place where I can start my treatment of Zisqali again.  A bit of depression is a normal thing with this disease, and I often remember that. So, the beat goes on with planning for the garden along with other sewing beats, decorating at church beat and more than I can remember beats right no. Experiencing a busy beat is the word.
