Yesterday was pleasantly warm.   Nicky and I went for three walks.  It was a quiet day.   The only time I left the neighborhood was to see Dr. Toy.    He wants to see me again Monday to be sure that I am "holding" as he says.    I am definitely much improved but wish these stupid dull headaches would stop.    (Arthritis too).

Today was quiet too.   It was chilly in the morning - low 40s.   Not too much of a wind so it was tolerable.   It did get up into the 80s this afternoon.

Barbara stopped by early in the afternoon to help me replace my garage outdoor lights.   They are on a timer.   I like having that light when I walk me Nick in the evenings.

I worked on quilting a bit and otherwise just rested.

Talked to Bill Smith tonight.   Leslie was working on something so we had a grand visit.   Wish they could be in Wisconsin for the lunch on April 9th too.      We must plan  SOMETHING  for an annual or biannual reunion for all of us.  I'll keep thinking on that.   Suggestions welcome.

We had WIND today and there was a fire several blocks away past Bart and Barb's in some field over there.    I am sure they had fun putting it out and the smoke was quite obvious even in the house.

I was home except for going to the dentist to get fitted for a gadget to keep me from grinding my teeth.   We are trying to save my caps and my future caps.  

Worked on a quilt and  just spent the rest of the day lazing around.   I was so busy early in the week that it was nice.   Tomorrow I see Dr. Toy again.  I do feel better and will see how tonight goes with the melatonin pills helping me out.    Last night was better but still not great.

Only two weeks til Wisconsin.

Well, after a week off, we had our Bible Study this morning.    A full room and a robust discussion.   I did to to the mass which is an hour before the study.   Just seems like a good idea.

I had such a miserable night last night.  Was glad I had an appointment with Dr. Toy.   He says my bones are better but still not right and suggested that I take an herbal melatonin blend to try to help me to sleep.    I will see how that goes.   Will see him on Friday after two nights of trying.

Did my grocery shopping today too and got my lottery ticket.   I had the powerball last week   (Whop de do) so it is "free" this week AND next week as there was a 3 X the $4 payout.

Two weeks from tomorrow I will be leaving for Wisconsin.    I am so looking forward to that.

Just got home from Writer's Club.    There were four of us there so it was OK. 

I read my Isle of Man chapter from the Saint book.   Does anybody know a source for free maps on the Internet.   I keep trying and every time I fine one - under FREE- It loads and says "may be subject to copyright"     Liars.

A reasonably quiet day and it is hot.    My thermometer says 89 but they say it was warmer.

I was very sore today and grateful for my appointment with my chiropractor.   He is going to see me again on Wednesday as he thinks he knows what is happening and we are trying to correct the problem.  I sure hope he can as I am sick of being sore.

I am sure I would be more ambitious also:) 

Sorry to be such a complainer.     Two and a half weeks until Wisconsin.   I am sure that trip will help to invigorate me.

Today was Bart's 46th birthday.    I find it hard to believe that it has been 46 years since I watched that little baby come into this world.     They had Marlies and myself over for lobster dinner and I made Chocolate Mousse, per Bart's request, for dessert.

A lovely evening.

Went to church this morning and the social afterwards so it was altogether a nice day.  

I am working on my trip to Wisconsin a little at a time.  It is less than three weeks now.   Wow.
