Monday

                                 Now the three bacopa's are the ones starting to RISE and SHINE!

The morning started really early.  It went with the night that had a lot of holes that allowed me to think if I had anything to think about.  There wasn't much in that area.  So I saw the 5 am news.  There wasn't much in that area either.  Eventually it was time to rise and shine.  Humm.  I made that up too.  But I did get up and out the door early up north a bit to see my I U cancer friends and leave a little blood for the monthly blood drive.  I'm still waiting to hear if of my numbers are were they should be in order to start meds again.  Monday is clinic day for the doctor so it's busy, busy at the cancer center.  Julie may call tonight.  What I have determined from looking at the portal information is, all is well, all is well or at least good enough to get started again.  Sometimes I do that even if I haven't heard from Julie.  I haven't told her that.  Looking at lab numbers for as long as I have has taught me a few things.

    I did some snipping and sent a picture to my friend Leslie ready for Brest Cancer surgery tomorrow.


Then there was time to take it easy for a bit but eventually I was on my way to the Y to share with Living Strong folks my time with Ramona.  She will be going on hospice in the not to distant future.  But her cataract surgery has been approved for Thursday.  So she will be with me and on her way to Community East for surgery on the better of two eyes.  The hope is that some improvement in her quality of life will happen for her hospice time.  She has been a gift to me.  We call ourselves sisters of different mothers.  

                                                Black Eyed Susan's are here for sure.

I did a short Aldi's trip for a few things.  This time by myself so the bags were two instead of more.  

There was a nap since the night had it's issues.  I tour some fabric for burp cloths.  It's been a while and feeling fabric again was a nice gentle touch.  I started the process a few days ago and today I added another white sheet to the growing collection ready for the sewing machine.  

Of course there was supper with a pepper added to the Roma tomato among other things.  Eric needed some transporting.  And Doug completed another stop at the drug store on his way back home after delivering Eric.  

                                                                They just  keep coming.

Tonight I'm tired.  There were miles to go today and I'm hoping that tonight's bed time experience is a bit different than last night.

                                   A nice ending to an interesting day.  Fresh flowers are always refreshing.  I woulad call this a little crazy day.  Meaning the unexpected was part of the morning.  But first... A great night of sleep again thinking it was six o'clock when it really was seven.  Now an extra hour of sleep never hurt anyone.  There was breakfast of course with a little TV. Yesterday I finished sewing and turning 30 burps, so the order of the morning was to iron all of them with top stitching in mind at some point. And there was time to iron all 30.             I did some straw flower seed saving.  It's a repeat of last fall that worked well this spring. Then it was off to church to pick up and put away all the things that supported the six weeks of sermons on prayer.  I love these lit...

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 The morning started off with breakfast and then a trip with Eric to Nora where he catches the bus to Indy.  I always love these trips in the winter often accompanied with a beautiful winter sun rise.  The morning light was coming through but it will be even better in another month.  I have taken some beautiful pictures in the early morning.   Home again and I did some sewing and some knitting.  The usual stuff that seems to be the winter work.  Ten more burps and I finished another scarf, one that could have been finished yesterday.  I was thinking no rush which is really true.  There is no rush. All the ripped fabric has been sewn so it would seem new ripping will happen soon. This noon was our first North Side North Church noon lunch instead of supper.  No driving in the dark for three months.  There were eleven of us, a smaller group but we all sat around one long table which was really nice.  And there was so much tal...
