Today my foot felt a bit better than yesterday.    I am still so tired.

My neighbors, Larry and Maryann drove me to church tonight and then we had a glass of wine together afterwards.   Nice way to spend an evening.

Mom is still having a rough time.   The nurse at Meadow View, the emergency room and the doctor are consulting.    I have someone picking me up on Monday for Bible Study and then to visit Mom.   Thank heavens for friends.   Tomorrow she will be having so many people there.

Hope your weekend is good.   I am not going to complain.    Good things, a chance to heal and good weather.

A beautiful day.   I was able to stay home and tried to rest my foot as much as possible.   I need to heal.

Have been on the phone often today with Jeff and Nora and George and Meadow View.   Mom has another couple of bad tests and decisions have to be make.    Jeff is making the final decision as he sees it and we need to trust that this is Mom's will.    She is so frail and seems to be fading before my eyes.    This is such a difficult time.    How much doctoring should she have?   I know that she has said that she just wants to go to sleep and this is my wish for her.     Dad and she have been apart so long now.   I know now from my own experience, how much she has missed him.

Bless you and yours.  

I am tired in body and soul.

Foot feels somewhat better.

My neighbor, Pat, drove me to see Mom.   She is very frail.   I knew that I had to see her.   I am going to try to get someone to drive me every other day or so.   Just for a few minutes.

The mosquitos are THICK outside.  I have three bites from walking Nicky this evening.

A beautiful day as far as I am concerned.    The sun shone.   But it was rather cool.  Which means that the humidity was down.   It is the humidity that gets a person tired and miserable.

I have accepted the fact that I should not be driving until I am not wearing this horrible boot so called friends until one answered (I got six answering devises before I got a real person).  I almost gave up but one, Kate, called back and she was more than glad to take me for the errands that I needed to do.  Thank you, Kate.   

My foot is sore, and I am tired.   But it does seem to be slowly improving.    It is hard for me to rest.   I find that not doing things makes me more tired than doing things.   I suppose that makes no sends, but such it is.

Pray for Mom tonight.  She had bit of a spell of low oxygen but is improving.   

Til tomorrow.

Another whole day at home.     I rested and tried to keep my foot up as much as possible.

Steger Furnace and Air came today and serviced the air conditioner.   The biggest excitement of the day.     I cleaned some but am trying SO hard to heal.   Now I need to go to stores and the bank.   I called some closer friends but nobody is home.   I will take that as a sign that I am in charge of myself after all.   All the errands are in town.   Well, I will try again in the morning.    Maybe the evening is not a good time to ask for help.

Here I am fussing when I am so lucky.


Have a good day tomorrow.     I have the cleaners coming.   Good thing.

Please pray for the family of Tom Kunert, Dick's Nephew, who went to heaven today.    He will be missed by his brothers and sisters.

Monday

I took the dog out this morning and realized that I was not in any shape to be driving around the county.   Not an easy decision.   I Hate being dependent or hobbled.   But I was.

I called Jeff and he and the family are explaining to Mom why I am not there.   I called Meadow View to let them know why I am not bringing communion and I called my friend Kathy to let them know why I was not coming to Bible Study.    My Bible Study Buddies will be praying for me so I know that I will be healing quickly.     I hate this.      God is trying to get me to realize that I am not Super Woman.  Dick tried that for years.   Maybe this time it will  work.

Bart and Barb called tonight and Bart made me promise to think and take it slower.   Barb has been released by her surgeon til next year.    One step in the process.

A friend, Kathy Paul, stopped by to visit today.   A lovely break in the day.

I am going to prepare things for morning and then go to bed soon.

Love you all

Twas a lovely day

Jody and Evan came by to pick me up at about noon to go to Jeff and Kathy's so that I could be a part of the festivities.    I think I told you they were having a gathering as Matt, Kauru, Colton and Alana are here from Hawaii.    Sara and Shane and Georgina are also here so it was REALLY special. 

Visits with family and Kathy's family (who I only see at these type of events) and friends of Jeff that I see so seldom.   Good food, good company and good everything.    I love family.

My foot is ok, kind of , but I was a bit nervous about driving that far and dear Jody was glad to pick me up.   I can't believe how tall Evan has gotten since the Wild Game Dinner even.    And all the other grandnephews and grandnieces.   (I think the word GRAND is perfect.)  

I sold two tickets for the Small Works event at Sheboygan Visual Artists.   Lucky me.   I still have to get my art piece delivered.   I will try to do that tomorrow.

I need to get to bed on time tomorrow as I will be going to see Mom and to Bible Study.   I figure that is a familiar route and it will be in the morning when I am pretty much rested.

So.   I am watching the World Cup.   Hope the second half is as good for US as the first.
