Just another day in Wonderland....
Hold on for venting! It really is crappy to get old! Went to the Dr. last week for follow up on blood work. I'm thinking they will tell me my cholesterol is back in check. Okay... the cholesterol is better, but I have Type II Diabetes! Bummer! Now Chuck is being the food police. Gave Rick all the 'goodies' in the house for him to take home.
I have medication to take, no injections (thank you), and have to 'test' my blood every day. I have my own monitor (yippee ?), and stuff. Now I have to make sure to eat breakfast everyday. I thought getting up at 4ish was bad to go to work, but, now I get up a half hour earlier, so I can have my little bowl of Cheerios -- with NO sugar!
Is that all? Oh no! I have what they call 'trigger finger' on the middle finger of my left hand. She (Dr.) tells me that she will refer me to the hand surgeon. Surgeon???? I thought it was arthritis!! Okay... will call for the appointment, but, no way are they cutting into my hand during golf season! It can wait until fall if I can put up with it!
Today I'm going back to the Dr. to have another lump removed from the top of my knee. It wouldn't be so bad, but, I keep taking the top of it off when shaving my legs, and I'm not waiting until it takes 18 stitches to close like the other one! I'm picking Becca up from school, so she can drive me home from the Dr. Should only have a band-aid on it.
I've been playing golf every Tuesday. We've only gotten rained on once. I really like my new golf clubs.
Should be a hot one tomorrow tho... I'll have Judy drive the cart really fast!
Stitching... I've been stitching on a few exchanges I've signed up for, and I finished up Ladybugs and Bumblebees by CCN. I've got to press and measure it, so I can order up my frame from BIL Tim. I think it will look good with a 'white-wash' frame.
That's it for now... Off to stitch the day away!

Wow. Sorry to hear of the Diabetes. I'm sure you are up to the challenge. I keep trying to avoid desserts (have so little will power) and with boys around the house -- there is all sorts of temptation available.
Trigger Finger? What the heck. Yeah, wait until after golf season!!! I've never heard of it ...
Becca still in class? Wow. I hope she finds some interests this Summer. When these boys are bored, I want to shoot myself : ) LOL
I'm still working on my square for the SAL -- didn't finish it yesterday. I want to focus on fair entries this month -- you know, get stuff REALLY FINISHED & ready for entry. The EGA chapter also has an exhibit in October -- need to have some entries.
Hang in there Myrna.
Good morning. Honestly, I never really kept track of my book reading until 2005. I had these slips of paper everywhere with partial book lists [like what I read a review on & wanted to check out -- or, scraps of paper with quotes from a book I was reading, etc]. My daughter set me up with a xanga & it was tons easier to put everything on-line. I tried the blank-page journal thing [twice] + rarely used them.
Thursday is the book sale at the Portage branch of the public library. i usually go & buy books. After I read them, I donate them back. I'm such a nerd. Honestly, I have no room for more 'stuff'. Enjoy the day GF
