I've been very grateful the past week. We came close to losing our Dad and the good LORD made the decision to allow us to keep him longer.
Partially due to the recent scares in our family - I ended up getting some grown up things done. I scheduled my long overdue mammogram and my diabetic eye exam. I'm going to get all my x-rays done on Tuesday (which is my 56th birthday!)
I also (barely) got my taxes done in time, Saw my nutritionist again, took five walks, and started PT for my lower back, shoulder, and knees! Did PT six times!
*** The weather in my neck of the woods***
Monday: 43 partly sunny
Tuesday: 69 cloudy (my birthday!)
Wed: 68 & sunny (of course the day I go back to work!)
Thursday: 71 and rain
Friday: 65 and rain
Saturday: 59 and cloudy

*** Thinking about ***
A lot of things all just scrambling around in my brain! We are heading over to see Jeff's mom to celebrate my birthday and then over to my Dad's for the same.
*** What I am wearing ***
Nirvana T-shirt and yoga pants while I get ready! I'll just be wearing a blouse and black pants with flats for the rest of the day
*** On The Reading Pile***
Moving along with War and Peace - both reading and listening to the audio book. I'm still enjoying both immensely!
I started a book recommended by a woman in my Bible Study: Compelled by Love by Heidi Baker. She is a missionary in Africa. I love books by people in missions.
*** What's on my tv ***
YouTube:
Gardening videos
Thrifting for home/garden decor videos
House plant videos
Christian Women videos
Dollar Tree videos
Jeff and I watched "The Housemaid" with a free 7-day trial of STARZ. We did fast forward through a few s*x scenes (really! we absolutely did) I read the book and I do love thrillers but this book isn't Christian friendly - but it does have a good twist.
***Favorite blog post/YouTube video last week***
I really like this thrifter. Her secondhand store is only about 2 hours away from me and I plan to visit this summer when she has her home sale. She not only thrifts for her shop, she thrifts for her home, herself, her family (including her sister and mom) and her three little girls.

You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE Hello, sweet friends. I'm going to ask for prayer right up front! I have a doctor's appointment and an ultrasound to find out what a bulge in my abdomen is. I'm leaning towards ventral hernia - but there is always the possibility of something worse. I would really appreciate knowing that I'm being lifted up to the LORD. *** The weather in my neck of the woods*** Cooler weather!

I am linking up with Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday On My Breakfast Plate: It was actually a bowl of chicken noodle soup! The weather in my neck of the woods ..... Today is in the mid 50s - tomorrow the mid 80s! I am hopeful there will be some sunshine so I can enjoy my new bench on my balcony and get some Vitamin D. Right now I am.... THE COVID CHRONICLES Right now I am recovering from COVID-19. Back on Easter Sunday my girls and I went to my dad's to cook dinner. Once we were already there, my dad mentioned he wasn't feeling quite right. Soon after he and my sister found out they were positive. A couple of days after that my daughters both tested positive. Then me. Then my other sister. Dad was hospitalized for a few days at the beginning. His oxygen dipped down into the 80s. I am so thankful to God that he was released shortly after. NO pneumonia! No blood clo...
I am linking up with Mailbox Monday It's Monday! What Are You Reading? The Sunday Post @ caffeinatedbookreviewer WHAT DID I READ THIS WEEK: It was a pretty slow reading week actually. I only finished two books. I made it 1/2-way through a third book, but we'll talk about that one next week. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery 4***** and Porch Lights, by Dorothea Benton Frank 4.5 ****-1/2 I was so pleasantly surprised by "Porch Lights". The characters are FABULOUS. I wanted to be just like the mom character only 5% into the book! This story is about relationships. How family is important not just in hard times, but ALL the time. The setting is stunning too. The South Carolina Lowcountry. I want a whole series of books revolving around these characters! FAVORITE QUOTE FROM A BOOK I READ: Two this week....
