Well, if there's one thing I say a lot here it's 'sorry it's been so long since I last blogged'. Today is no excecption. It's been, I think, about three weeks. You'd think a person who works from home, is her own boss and has internet capabilities in her living room wouldn't be such a slacker at this. But hey, in the words of Popeye, "I am what I am"!
On the way to the library this morning, the first really lovely day in quite awhile, not only is the sun out but the birds are singing their little hearts out and it's wonderful to hear them. I also some a Mama duck and her brood of little baby ducks. They were so adorable!
Let's see, Tuesday the 26th was my birthday. Thank you everyone for all of the thoughtful birthday greetings! I appreciated every single one of them.
The 26th had beastly weather here. Grey, rainy, windy as can be and a threat of truly hoprrific weather to come. Fortunately, the horrific weather never materialized here, although it did most of the week in the rest of the USA.
Because of the icky weather I never got out. It's just no fun to me to have to keep one eye out constantly looking over your shoulder and listening for the weather sirens. So, this Monday, is the newly rescheduled birthday celebration. I've got places ro go, things to do, people to spend time with. And I'm really looking forward to it.
Tomorrow, Sarurday, I'll be on the miss tip too for part of the day. HSM's first born is graduating from the two-year college! Yes, he's already got a semester under his belt at the University of Michigan. But the community college is just now finally getting around to holding it's commencement and he has a right to walk across the stage and receive a diploma. Certainly a proud moment for his loved ones! Then there's a party at HSM's house and I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Lets' see, what else is happening? Oh, did you watch any of the wedding this morning? I woke up at 7am and turned on the tv just in time to see Kate and William exiting the church. I'm sure it'll be reruns upon reruns for most of the next few days and I'll have numerous opportunities to see the whole event.
And that's it. Yes, I know, you expected more after such a lengthy lapse. Sorry about that.
Be good and be careful, take care, stay strong.
hugs, Tawny

Here We Go Again!
Yesterday was an anniversary of sorts for me. Exactly one year ago yesterday I landed in the hospital diagnosed with not one, but two heart attacks. While I'm not one to remember or celebrate sad days, such as the dates my parents died, for example, I don't associate the heart attacks (or my Troubles as I tend to call them--sue me, I'm Irish and we have Troubles!) as sad days. I view a year ago yesterday as the day my health took a turn for the better.
Surprisingly, I came away from the heart attacks (and gall stones) in the best health of my life. I found out I don't have any blockages, no heart disease, no nothing wrong with me except for a bit of high blood pressure (and the gall stones). Oh, and slightly elevated cholesterol. And I'm on meds to help with that. And, because I ended up seeing doctors regularly after my Troubles set in, I was able to get help for an injured knee.
The heart attacks were the best things that could have happened to me! So today I'm up and at 'em and out and about early because I have an appointment for a mammogram. That's another thing I started doing after the Troubles--getting mammograms.
My appointment is for 11:10 but since later appointments tend to not be on time, I got up early and headed out so I could take care of errands first. And since I have some extra time between errands and the mammogram I decided to hit the library and talk to you.
What a day (smile)! When you're having certain tests done, mammograms and heart catheterizations come to mind, you are told not to wear lotions or use deodorant because they can interfere with the test results (?).
Don't you know, every day prior to this has been cool, some days even downright chilly, and no deodorant wouldn't be an issue. But today, well, today the temps are going up to near 70 and here I am au natural (smile).
The weather forecast for today was a little confusing. Rain and thunder boomers, lightning, high near 70. Then periods of cloudy no rain followed by mixed precipitations (snow just a tad north of here), temps spiraling down to below freezing.
It's no wonder all of the people I've encountered so far today have been oddly dressed. Me included. Thin cotton shirts, cotton trousers, sweaters, winter jackets and umbrellas (smile).
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
Be good and be careful, take care, stay strong.
Hugs, Tawny
