I put about that on the van these last three days. Yesterday I went back to the gyn and had a ‘newbie’ midwife. She was really sweet and explained ‘everything’ she was going to do before she did it. I felt young again! She’s the one that called the doc upstairs the day before as the baby she was delivering had an erratic heart rate.

I’m pleased to say I’ve sold a few things on eBay these last few weeks. I packaged them up and off they went across the states and across the county! A guy near here bought a Herman Munster Halloween mask.

I went down to see my mom today and she was not herself at all. She spent two hours Thursday using the weedwacker and she was just loaded with mosquito bites! She treated me to my favorite lunch (chicken salad club) up the road and I enjoyed that. We ventured to JoAnn’s where I left two of my finished cross stitched pieces for framing. I got 50% off, but it was still very expensive. I’ve only had one piece of my work framed all these years, and it was an embroidery I did of Holly Hobbie when I was 16. I guess I’m due for a treat. My mom did pay for one of them. They should be ready in a few weeks.

I came home earlier as mom had been feeling poorly in JoAnn’s and needed to lay down as she felt a migraine coming on. I think I’m going to have to go clean at her place once a week as I didn’t like what I saw. Decorating, I mean helping out at my uncle’s house is too much for her. She runs away from her own mess. I’m concerned with her driving skills too as she got too close to a barrier at a gas station and put a nice dent in her car. I had done almost the same kind of thing years ago at McDonald’s with one of their barriers. My kitty Jade had a seizure and I was upset about that (left her at the vets) and wasn’t careful enough at the drive-thru.

I wanted to tell you about an elderly gentlemen that I think everyone overheard the other night in the restaurant where we had dinner. He was with a young guy, late teens. He was one of the founders of the New Bolton Center where Barbaro the horse was treated last year. He talked and talked and had a sharp memory. When he said he graduated from high school in 1937, I figured he was 88 (correct?)! Wow. I was impressed.

Have a great weekend!

  1. In all the years I’ve gone to gynos, I’ve never had that happen either. What a pain after you were already undressed and everything!

    I keep seeing those 50% off coupons at JoAnne’s but I’ve never had anything framed. Some day I would like to make a small quilt and have it framed. I hope you post a pic of your project when it’s all done!

    Poor Sean. I have heard that Statistics is a very hard class. Sometimes it just takes a few weeks before it sinks it. I was that way with accounting way back when. After about six weeks, it sunk in and I had no problems after that. I wish him the best.

  2. I’m so glad that you had a better visit with your Mom. Maybe all those mosquito bites had some sort of effect on her? πŸ˜‰

    Good luck with the rest of your eBay items, and I can’t wait to see pictures of your framed pieces!
