Yesterday I spent organizing and packing for my drive to Texas for the Irishfest weekend with Nora and Leif. George and Betsy and Stenn and Bing.     This will be our third year going together.    So glad I am well enough to make the trip.    I will definitely take my time.   

So you won't hear from me tomorrow, but I will be back on Sunday.

It was a busy day.    Almost too busy.

I had lunch at the Center for Creative Living with my friend, John Kennedy, who belongs to the Celtic Club.     Don't get any ideas,   John is married and a good husband.

Then tonight, as it is Ash Wednesday, I went to Mass and to get my ashes.   I was ushering too.   Almost too much as with the distribution of ashes AND communion it took a lot of work,   But I did it and now I can go right to bed and hopefully will sleep.

Hope your day was good.

Just got home from Writer's Club.     Heard the next chapters in Karlos and Marti's books and Katherine gave us a book that she helped publish with several of her works.    She read a couple of her pieces from the book.    I read the poem Karl Elder published in his reminder of the Poet's Circle meeting and one of mine.   

So it was a full   fun night.

Ready for bed.   Hope I can sleep without pain.

Cold, Cold, Cold.   It was 11 degrees when I woke up this morning.    I don't care about below zero for some of my readers.   11 degrees is COLD.  And that doesn't factor in the wind chill factor.

Thank heavens I did not have to go anywhere today.

Tomorrow starts out much the same but will warm up some anyway.    I do plan on going to Writer's Club anyway.  I need to interact with people.

Pretty proud of myself.   I went to the 8:30AM mass this morning and I served as an usher.    Something I could not have done, even last week.   I am much better.

The rest of the day was quiet .  I did some cleaning of my pantry.

Got a call from Barbara.  She has had an ear infection and now Bart has caught it.  Please pray for a quick recovery.   Needless to say I will not see them until they are  healed.
