A quiet day

Supposedly it was cooler today.   I guess below 90 is cooler than above 90 and into the three digets.

I was home all day, except for Mass at 4:30PM.   It was a nice mass.    The attendees are decreasing each week.   I am just SO" glad that I can go and receive the sacrament.    You guys know how much that means to me.

I kept myself pretty busy today with several projects.   I even went out and weeded my sculpture garden.   Yes, I have a sculpture garden.     I don't really do well with regular gardens.

Vita had several walks today so I am staying in shape.     She really is a joy and I WOULD NOT walk if it wasn't for her.

Tomorrow another quiet day.    I will be home all day and am going to make Schlitzhagen    Yea.

A weekend

Here it is Friday evening.   The beginning of another weekend.   Weekends, with the pandemic, are not much different that weekdays.     I do go to church with is comforting to me.    

I look forward to Saturday evening at 4:30PM for that.   We are all masked but we have our familiar Mass and I do receive the sacrament which means SO much to me.

It was a nice week.    Got good results from my Cancer team.    That is always a plus.    Dr. Toy put my bones back in shape.    I got together with my fellow writers and worked a bit on a quilting project.    Still MUCH too lazy but I am improving.

Sure glad I have Vita.   She does get me up and moving, you know.

Have a great weekend and stay well and safe.    I have plenty of masks.   Even when I go out with Vita., I don't necessarily put it on when we start, but I have one in my pocket so that If I start talking to someone, I can pull it out and put it on.

We have to get rid of this monster.

Writers Club Tonight

It was hot and muggy during the day, then there was a nice storm tonight WHILE we were at Writer's Club.

It was dry enough that Dan and Han could mow the lawn anyway.     With the rain, it probably would have been too high and that is hard for Dan.    Looks nice and really green now.    I have to try to get grass in the back yard.  It is pitiful.

Did some writing and sewing today and a bit of cleaning.    Then'

At 6:30PM  Writers Club.    There were only three of us there, Marti and Karlos and me.    We all read.   I love what they do.   They seem to like what I do.   We always try to give suggestions and for sure tell them if there is some thing that doesn't seem to mesh    We are all pretty good, though.   If I do say so myself.

Bart stopped by for a bit this afternoon.    I always enjoy that and so does Vita.    She was a pest today, wanting lots of walks and it was too hot.

Take care of you.

Hi on Wednesday

Was a busy day.      I decided to buy my birthday cards for the next two months.    Would you believe, I bought TEN.    It was fun picking them out, then being sure I got one for everybody and not one for some and two for some.    I am getting older, you know.

This afternoon, I worked on and completed a project that those, who wish to be ministers in the church need to fill out.   I thought it would take about an hour.     Ended up spending two and a half hours on it.    Whew.

So I am relaxing with my glass of wine and thought I would send a message to all of you.
Stay well, stay safe and I love you.

Hope it gets through, my blogger is acting weird and I don't know if yesterday's went through.   Guess what I will be doing tomorrow if I can't see that it is OK today.

I guess I had better title these Blogs. This IS today's title.

Today was a doctor day.   Very busy.

I saw Dr. Toy this morning and he put my back in place again.   He does not seem to be tired a adjusting me yet:)

This afternoon, I went to the Cancer Clinic.    My first appointment was with the lab to draw blood for the next appointment.

The next appointment was with Dr, Curry, my cancer doctor.    He says my tests and his exam show that I am doing just fine.    There is no sign of the cancer returning and he will see me in 6 months.   Hopefully at that time, we can remove the port.

The third appointment was the flushing of the port.    Hopefully just one more time for that,  Dr, Curry says that maybe they will be able to remove it after the next examination.    Hope so.   It is just an annoyance.

We are supposed to be getting some thunder storms tonight.  I will have a very unhappy Vita if we do.   She is terrified of thunder and lightening.    And nothing I do comforts her.

Praying for the end of this virus and for all those that I cherish.   (Know that you are one of them.)  Be safe.   We  will get through this.

I was home all day today.    Called a few people that I had not heard from or talked to in many years.   It was fun.   

Had a nice long talk with my sister Dolores.    My brother in law Kenny is happy.   He has gained two pounds.   We rejoiced together as I have gained some weight too.  Glad, but sad to have to share our gains to each other.   We both wish that the other did not have to be going through the problems.

A rather pleasant day.    Tomorrow I have doctor appointments both in the morning and the afternoon.   I feel pretty good so expect good things.
