Today, I noticed that my roses near the road were blooming. I meant to go right back out to take some pictures, but just remembered that I wanted to take some when I realized it was time to blog. So here is one of the buds and some others blooming in the background.
I was determined that I would do a little more than I did yesterday, trying to build my strength back up. I have done just that, but I will admit that whatever I do takes longer at this time…hopefully I will get back some stamina as I do a little more each day. Today, I did some of my accomplishments on my phone/iPad. I needed to get in touch with several individuals so I spent time sitting texting, emailing, and talking on the phone. First I texted Donna to say that I still wanted to put working in the library on hold for another week. She agreed. After that I emailed my doctor to see what she wanted to do about my 6-month-check-in with her that was scheduled for next week. I remember one time when my blood work was all messed up due to me having been on antibiotics. Her nurse called me back and we rescheduled for another week out to let the antibiotic clear my system. Then I emailed the church administrator about the church library computer. I gave him the link for the computer that Nathan and I chose online. He emailed back and has the process underway for it to be ordered. So we may be back in business shortly in the library. It has been difficult with no computer…can't process books, can't check out books, can't check to see if we have certain books or where they are located. Our hands are pretty much tied without that piece of technology that we depended on so much…since getting rid of the card catalog. Now to wait patiently for its arrival!
I have done some stitching…getting close to finished with the field of stars on my stylized flag cross stitch piece…then there are just two more red stripes and it will be ready to be made into a small pillow. There is still a lot of stitching to make those stripes so probably a finish is still days down the road. But I can say I have less left to stitch than I have stitched.
I also worked some more on getting ready for Cheryl and Rachel's visits and for my cruise. I’m closing in on decisions of things I need to take with me and making sure that I don't "need" to order anything. I am sitting here waiting for an order that is supposed to come today…a new case for my iPad. The case I have has a keyboard with it. And, now that I have the app for the blog, I can type on the screen. It will be easier to take my iPad on the trip if I have a less bulky case. Mentioning taking it on the trip…I don't think I will be able to blog while I am away. We will be pretty much off the grid while in Alaska. I’ll just have to take plenty of photos to share once I get back and share about some of our adventures after the fact, too.
To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
