Good Morning Sunshine !!

It is 9 a .m. and it is a glorious beginning to the day, ... lots of sunshine and the weatherman says it will be here for the day, ... I already have laundry on the go because I want it hung outside. This is one of my greatest sources of joy, ... laundry on the line in the sun, with a breeze.

I have a list in red ink of things that have to be done before I go into hospital and have crossed off four already, ... only five to go. I've got enough cat food in for Millie in the house, and the stray on the porch, have to pick up some fresh litter,... looked after the bills and finances. The other things include cleaning the house, ... I ususally have someone who does this every other week, but she is in Florida, ... lucky girl. I want to leave the house clean and there are phone calls to be made and I have to make sure Elvin knows where things are in the freezer, ... and there will be other things come up that I haven't thought of yet. I also want to get a "lip rip-off" before going in, ... enough said.

We will be going to the arena shortly for Elvin's walk and that will be followed by some running around to pick up this and that, ... the kitty litter being one.

Millie and my friend Mer get along wonderfully, ... Mer loves cats. Mer will drop in to play with her, feed her, and empty her box, brush her, give her treats, and toss her her toys... and if I don't clean the house she would do that too, ... I will make sure she does not even get a chance. She even would feed the birds, however, Elvin will be here most of the time, and that will not be a problem.

Inexpicably, .. I feel very light-hearted to-day, ...I'm sure the sunshine and the prospect of hanging out laundry have something to do with that. I also, as I have said before, am so very grateful for the people I know and who I know love, and care about me, and are my friends. I am truly blessed.

Wish you all could feel as great as I do to-day, ... Have a super good one !!!

They're Creeping Back

For a few days, I have been able to keep the negative thoughts away, ... and it has been good. I convinced myself, that everything would turn out fine, ... that whatever was growing inside me was very small, .. could be removed easily,... that by talking to them, I had at least shrunk the spots on my liver, ( I am a believer in this possibility). However, to-day, even though it is a gloriously sunshiny day with about a foot of sparkly, fresh snow on the ground, which usually fills me with joy, my stomach and chest have that anxiousness. I'm trying to think what started this again, ... but can't, unless it is the fact that I have an appointment in 2 days with the surgeon. I have been wanting Monday to hurry and get here and to know when the surgery, if that is what is next, will be.

I have 2 discs with all the information from the CAT-scans, X-rays, and MRI in the car ready to take with me on Monday. I didn't know technology had made this possible. I only had to go to my X-ray department at the hospital and they were ready in 10 minutes. This must be a time-saver for doctors for sure.

I will banish the nerves somehow to-day. Must get the muffins out of the oven.
