Went to the 8:30AM Mass this morning.    Fr. Phil gave me a blessing for good results on the Petscan tomorrow.    I have tons of people praying for me and sending good vibes.      Guess we'll know Tuesday night.       Good news is what I am opting for.

The rest of the day was quiet and much cooler than it has been, less humid too.  I have to be at the Clinic by 7AM.   Don't those people know that I am retired and don't usually get up until 7AM:)   So I'll be up at 5:30AM

This has been a week of problems.

The garage door and ADT problems which all turned out to be a result of a defective breaker.   The electrician replaced that yesterday morning and all seems to be well.

Then this morning, I smelled gas in the back yard.   So I called the gas company.    They came out and found a small leak in the meter which he fixed and checked everything else.    What else can go wrong.

I can't believe that it is only five days til Jessica's wedding.   I am so looking forward to spending time with the family.

A moderately busy day.      Bart dropped by after lunch and we had a nice visit.    I always love a voice in the house besides mine.

It was HOT.   The heat index well over 100.   The official reports showed Lawton at 98 but my thermometer showed 100.

I made Friday Chili, or as Dick named it Sinner's Chili, today.    Want something hearty for supper and can"t use the oven.

Nothing else exciting.   Too hot to get too excited.

Mainly  a quiet day, though I did get myself out of the house and bought myself a swimming suit.   I had two that were WAY to big after I lost that weight, so went to Dillards and found one that will do.  I hope to gain SOME weight but the two I have are probably bigger than I need.    Time will tell.

Did a bit of sewing but the rest of the day was another lazy day.    Contacted the doctor but they are still waiting for insurance approval for my PetScan.    Seems pretty odd when the insurance companies can second guess the doctors.

Well.   My garage door opener and my ADT are both working again.   We have decided that the trouble is either a breaker of a plug.    I have an electrician coming to fix the problem.

Aside from that, it was a quiet day.   Kerry came this morning and cleaned the house for me.   Bus except for that it was very quiet.

Tomorrow or the next day I am going shopping for a swimming suit.   I have two and they are WAY too big.

Darn.    I hate shopping.

Please pray for my cousin, Maureen, who passed away this morning at 6:30AM.   We were all surprised to hear yesterday that she was in hospice so this was a shock.

Yesterday, I had dinner with Bart and Barb.    Bart cooks up a great burger.

Today was very quiet.   Tomorrow will be busy.   Garage door opener broke, expecting info on my Petscan, and the ADT is malfunctioning.

My cleaning lady comes too.

I will be busy.

A long weekend doesn't mean much to me anymore.    I can make any weekend a long weekend if I want one:)

Today, I did a bit of shopping at Walgreen and spent this afternoon partly at a graduation party for Brice, the son  of my neighbor's across the street.   It was a lovely gathering.   Brice was the first neighbor to greet me when I moved in to this neighborhood and I have always liked him for that

I kittlysat today.    Bart and Barb have adopted the little kitty that I found in my front planter and they went to Oklahoma City today for a doctor appointment.   So I was recruited to watch the little one, who has no name as of yet.    We don't even know what gender he or she is.    Barb feeds him with a kitten formula every two to three hours so I was asked to fill in while they were gone.  It was OK.   Little kittens are adorable and I enjoyed feeding him or her but don't want to be a ?Mother? again.

If I get a cat it will be litter box trained and eating like an adult.    By the way, Fluffy, the cat that was neutered is doing just fine back here in her territory.

I saw my radiation oncologist today and got my port flushed.   I won't have to see Dr. Smith again unless I should end up getting radiation again and we will hope not.

A reasonably quiet day until this evening.

Bart and Barb brought Fluffy, the feral cat we had neutered, back to this neighborhood and me.   Fluffy turned out to be a female, so we got her just in time.   She was not pregnant and they said she never had a litter.    Whew.    She seems glad to be home and Little Bit, the other cat, was quite glad to see her.     A happy reunion.

Little Bit will be next.    We are  reasonably sure that he is a boy.

Aside from that, I did a bit of sewing and some grocery shopping.    So it was a quiet day.   No word yet as t when I get my PTScan.

We took our captured feral kitty over to be neutered today.    She (we thought it was a he) is just fine and will be released probably back here where she feels at home and I can look out for her.

I went to Bible Study this morning too.   A rousing discussion of the Gospel of John

A Quiet rest of the day.

A rather quiet birthday.     BUT   I got FLOWERS.   I GOT CARDS and I got phone calls.    I am well loved.

Tonight Bart and Barb came over and we captured one of the two kittens that showed up when I had my surgery.    They also took a new kitten that had just appeared and was hidden in my shed.

We are taking them to be fixed tomorrow and then released back into the world.    Just one more to go.   Poor Little Bit looks lost and is looking for his friend.    I wish I could explain to him.    His friend may even be able to be released back here.

It was much cooler today than it has been.   I went to the 8:30AM Mass and stopped for the coffee and donuts and camaraderie.

Did a bit of sewing and worked on my Celtic update newsletter.

So it was an altogether quiet day.   A kitten has showed up in my front planter.    I am not happy.   If I wanted a  cat, I would have a cat and not a a feral cat either.

It is a cute little thing but I don't want a cat!

A quiet day.    I didn't go anywhere.    Got a few phone calls though.    Eileen, Nora, Barb, Bart.   I am truly blessed.   

It was hot again.   I find it very easy to just sit these days.    Wish I had some enthusiasm about something.    I did do some sewing today and I have a goal to finish a project by Monday.    Perhaps that will help:)

We had our Celtic meeting today at the Shamrock Pub.   Only five of us but we will improve as people get used to the new day.    Robbi gave a talk for us on clothing throughout the middle ages.   Fascinating.

Had a shrimp dinner with Bart and Barb tonight.    Just got home a bit ago and am actually ready for bed.

Quiet day tomorrow.

Yesterday, I had my first CTScan since I finished chemo and radiation.    Still haven't heard the results from the doctor.     I am not very happy on that.   Another delay and lack.    As it turned out, I was right to be concerned about the pre meds I needed before the scan though my doctor's office said all was OK.   We got things together just in time.   Next time, I will be even more aggressive.   Just asking is not enough.

Today was quiet, so I did a bit of shopping.    Still need to find a bathing suit, but I did find a pair of jeans that fit but allow a bit for growth.    I am losing weight again and trying to eat more but my appetite is not very strong.

Just heard from the doctor.   I have to have a PTScan.  Ich.   Oh well,  this will be an early catch if anything is wrong and she is suggesting immunotherapy this time.

Pray for good news.

Just got back from Writer's Club.    Only three of us there so we talked and then came home.

I did my grocery shopping on the way home  because I had time.

Tomorrow I get my ctscan at 10:30AM to show that the cancer has not come back.

Just got back from Quilt Guild.    So I am tired.    We had a pot luck tonight.    Always a good way to end a day.   There weren't as many people as usual at the meeting though.

I got a birthday fat quarter:)  because it is my birthday month.

I made fresh blueberry scones for the pot luck and have enough left for a couple of breakfasts.   Yea.

Happy Mother's Day to any Mothers who read my blog.

Sorry I have been so negligent and will not promise that I will improve, but I will try. 

Bart and Barb are in Texas with Barb's youngest son's family for the weekend.    I am pet sitting for their Lily, dog and Kitch, cat.  I just feed them and have been sleeping at their house, so Lily won't feel so alone.     Nicky doesn't care where he sleeps as long as he is with me and of course I take him over with me.      When I am gone, that is where he spends his time anyway.

Got the most beautiful flowers for Mother's Day from Richard and Brenda.   I have a picture but have forgotten how to post it - silly me.      I will have to retrain myself.

Had a busy day today.  

I just got home from my lovely Adria's graduation from the 6th grade.   Next year she will be in junior high school.

It was a nice graduation.   Adria was honored as one of the valedictorians.    She looked beautiful all dressed up in her graduation dress and so grown up.   And she gave an acceptance speech.  

We went to dinner together, the whole family, at a pizza place, Adria's choice.

A warm day, not summer warm but warm.   it was close t 90 degrees which I think is quite nice.

It was a quiet day.   I talked to a friend or two today as I really needed a voice in my home.    I miss my sweetheart's voice.   He was by no means a chatterbox but he responded to me so I didn't feel so alone.    Nicky just doesn't say anything:)

Went to Mass this morning and went to the social after Mass.   Sure glad they have that.

Tomorrow I will be going to a graduation of my granddaughter, Adria, from 8th grade.   Hard to think of a granddaughter in high school.
