I have been sore all day. Dr. Fehrman did tell me that this might happen. I hope it is the storm before the calm. I know, I know, I reversed it.
Today was a nice day. Pleasant temps and a nice breeze. I spent the day gradually getting things ready for Monday. I have to leave at 11PM so want EVERYTHING done by noon so that I can rest the whole afternoon. (This gives a couple of hours in the afternoon if there are trailing things left to do.)
I went to the 4PM Mass. I was a Eucharistic Minister AND took Communion to Tom and Rita so I am twice blessed today. Kate was at Mass and worshiped with me. It is good to be with a companion that one knows. My cousin Greg Ziegler and his wife Kathy and family were at Mass. Greg has been so ill but was able to walk up for communion. I gave him and Kathy a hug on the way out. He looks pretty good considering what his body is going through. Pray for him.
By the way, Kate just got word that her daughter in law, Becky, has breast cancer. Surgery this week. Please pray. It was a shock and they are scared.
Tomorrow I will finish what I need for the next full 24 hours. AND REST.
Take care of your all.

It was a beautiful day
The weather was wonderful today. A cool breeze was no problem because of the wonderful sunshine. The breeze died down in the afternoon anyway.
My friends, Barb and Dick, left for Minneapolis at about the same time that I headed to see Dr. Fehrman at the Clinic. He and I discussed the x-ray and MRI of my shoulder. There is obvious damage. I had choices. Wait (not an option), try a shot in an area that Dr. Fehrman thinks May help, or surgery. I decided with his council. That the shot with a followup in four weeks would be the best now. I told him that I had to be healed or at least able to travel in September for Scotland.
This will work. If I need the surgery, I would have time to heal, at least well enough for travel by Scotland.
Now, the weekend is free to be ready for Midnight on Sunday at the Ebco Center.
I am still getting response and it is going to be a go.
Til tomorrow
I am sore and tired and sad. Just want to sleep and not ache.

It was a lovely day. Sunshine and gentle breezes. Dick would have been horrified, I had the doors open almost all day.
Barbara and Dick left rather early for Manitowoc to visit her cousin, so I had the morning to myself. I worked on Bloomsday and the Book and just rested after a bit because for some reason, after an almost comfortable day yesterday, my arm and shoulder are really hurting today.
When they came home, Barbara and I went to Sheboygan to visit Mother. It was a nice visit. Lots of remembering for the three of us. We left about four thirty as Mom was getting tired. But what a joy.
A nice visiting evening for the three of us. We had soup and Pasties for supper and more visiting. They are leaving early and I have an 8:30AM doctor appointment so sleep is being sought by all of us.
Til tomorrow.

On a cloudy day
I was a cloudy day and stayed in the lot 60s. I found it quite comfortable. Don't mind wearing a jacket, especially my newest denim jacket.
I was home all morning. Didn't feel too well so I rested on the couch for a while. I think it was the pill that I am taking to offset the allergy to iodine that left me a bit woozy.
My appointment with Tim Ebenreiter so that he could give me a key and educate me on the alarm system for the Ebco ArtSpace on Monday was at 1:30PM today. Remember, A 24 hour reading of the book Ulysses by James Joyce. Bloomsday. I am pleased that we have the day pretty well covered could use someone between 11AM and 1PM and 5PM to 6PM. Anybody chomping at the bit to read
From Wikipedia:
Bloomsday is a commemoration and celebration of the life of Irish writer James Joyce during which the events of his novel Ulysses (which is set on 16 June 1904) are relived. It is observed annually on 16 June in Dublin and elsewhere.
I did stop at Hobby Lobby and the bank on the way to the Ebco appointment, then on to Sheboygan Memorial for my MRI. I had taken all my pills so we could do the procedure. It went well. I don't get alarmed in the tube with all the noises and just try to relax. I may have even drifted off. It was almost four when I was done. I did my grocery shopping on the way home. Forgot Gorganzola Cheese for Monday. No problem, the store is not going anywhere.
Tomorrow, my friend Barbara and her husband Dick are coming to stay for a day or so. They have relatives in Milwaukee, I think Barb's aunt is in a nursing home or something. We have been friends since grade school. Were even in the convent together. She did stay longer.
I am doing this early so that I won't forget. I ache all over today so will take a nice hot bath before I go to bed. I will see Dr. Fehrman on Friday to evaluate my shoulder.
So. Until tomorrow.

Lovely day
I made up my mind to be busy today. Actually, I woke up kind of miserable. Aching and not feeling well. So I rested for a while and read the paper, then started baking scones and I make pancakes and ham for lunch.
This got me moving so I decided to go out to Rhine to shoot some pistol. With no league, I figured I could do a bit of practicing without inconveniencing anybody. I am still using my left hand. With the new grips and shooting very carefully by myself, I am training my left hand to follow the rule. (Finger only on trigger when shooting.) It went well. If I do end up having surgery on my right shoulder, this will slow me up a bit, but I do hope to rejoin the league in the Fall.

A typical super busy Monday
I started off by leaving the house a little before 9AM. I stopped at Sun Graphics. I had a picture of James Joyce and a map of Bloom's Dublin enlarged so that I can mount them on a poster board. I also got the updated Tallgrass directory copied for distribution. Next stop
Blessed Trinity. I picked up the hosts for Mom and the other Meadow View Catholics and went to the Bible Study meeting. We are still studying Saul's conversion. Lots to talk about, not too many people get knocked off of their horses and struck blind. We are trying to figure Paul out. He was obviously an extremely intense guy, probably hard to get along with but great to have on your side.
Next I drover to Meadow View to spend a bit of time with Mom and give her communion. Dolores and Ken were there when I got there. Then when I got back from giving the sacrament to the other residents, Jeff, Kathy, Sarah and Shane were there, so I just stayed for a little bit and got the bills all figured out. She will be down to just Meadow View and doctors soon.
I picked up Sy Regan after stopping at Perkins for a sandwich and we went to the Sheboygan County Writers. I picked up another reader for next Monday. Just a couple of slots left now.
So I am pretty sore now, always am in the evening so I will go to bed. The MRI is tomorrow afternoon. I start taking pills at 1:30AM so have set the alarm.
Til tomorrow
