Wednesday

 It's another all day Wednesday.  There have been many. HOW fortunate for me.  Last night was a wonderful night of sleep.  I'm enjoying a rested Wednesday.  Maybe I should walk oftener at church to get really tired spaghetti legs. 

I knitted for a while and then decided it was Goodwill shopping time for flannel sheets.  The cupboard was bare.  So off to the Goodwill at Castleton.  I flunked out.  Not one sheet even close to flannel.  I usually can find at least one.  So the car turned west and I ended up on Michigan road just south of 86th street way on the other side of Indy.  I found two flannels and one blue and green plaid sheet that would support the dull plain boring green flannel sheet.  The other pretty flowered flannel will be matched with a sheet I already have.  

30 will get me to another 100 burps.  There is more than enough fabric to spill over to the next 100.

There was a lot of driving in the clown car I named Bozo.  The turning signal sounds like a big grandfather clock. Yikes.

    A Hondi...Korean Car.  It looks big but about half the size of the Odyssey. But big enough for me.                                              Probably not for Doug.  I'm the principal driver!

Home for lunch and after getting the washer filled with the morning take it was time for Walgreens and a medicine pickup as well as the Covid and Flu shot along with more Halloween candy.  Mainly for DOUG.  I expected a F and C shot line but we walked in and 20 min. later we walked out taken care of.  No wait at all.  I'm happy to check that off the to do list.  I'm a vaccine believer.  It saddens me to hear about the outbreak of Measles.  I remember so well being in second grade when our room was devastated for days with Measles, Mumps and more. The blind school here in Indy was built to educate blind children a result of  Measles.  We needed to recuperate in dark rooms in those days.

The dryer got a work out doing a great number on the morning purchases. Some of the new purchases got to the ripping table.  It's always interesting to see how many burps are hidden in the sheets depending on the sizes.  

Mid afternoon there was a move to the kitchen to make beef veg. soup with barley for supper.  There is enough for tomorrow and maybe Friday.  I'm calling Carol to see if she needs another delivery tomorrow.  There will be croutons by then.  That makes Doug very happy.

Tomorrow is another morning PT session and an early afternoon WNBA game.  It could be the last if LA wins. I'm predicting they will.

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...
