In like a lion, out like a lamb, the weather here today, sunny, 60’s. Hope it keeps up. Saturday and the following 3 days, I woke up at 5 am with a bad headache. It felt like a sinus problem. I had anti-histamines, which helped some. On Sunday I zoomed 3 churches. “All sermons were…

I slept very soundly yesterday. My previous day’s activities wiped me out. I drove to a session of ’Soul Matters’ at the home of one of my church members. It was an hour’s drive in each direction. Then an extra hour to find the house in a new development I don’t think Google had yet…

Yesterday I walked on the Assateague National Seashore. The weather was chilly, windy, and cloudy, but it felt good. Walking up the boardwalk toward the beach, I saw four small cardinals, pecking at the sand, probably recently hatched siblings. I also saw my first brown pelican of this season.

Yesterday was fun. I called my 15year-old grandson for his birthday. On that day he also got his driver’s permit at the DMV in Denver. He is SOOO happy! On the negative side, I went to Chesapeake Eye Center for an appointment to get my cataract surgery reviewed, I thought. I found out it was…

Yesterday was a little scary. I was scheduled for a CT scan, with and without contrast. The technician was friendly and informative, but not so good at blood draw. I have a pronounced bruise even though I have good veins. The scan report came back today, which surprised me that it was so fast. There…

I had one of my worst headaches last night, for hours. Meds, 2 cold pacs, nothing helped until it just went away in late afternoon.. The whole day was a struggle. I stopped by CVS to use my expiring coupon to buy a better-sized cold pack for the next headache. Fortunately I stretched out in…

I had one of my worst headaches last night, for hours. Meds, 2 cold pacs nothing helped until it went away mid day. The whole day was a struggle. I stopped by CVS to use my expiring coupon to buy a better sized cold pack for the next headache. Fortunately I stretched out in bed…

I was happy to get a text from my older son inviting me to Easter brunch with his family. I should think about buying some new clothes. When I was a child, we frequently bought new dresses or shoes for Easter. I called a neighbor who had his second knee replacement recently. I expected he…
