THREE DOWN and TWO TO GO

GETTING A BREAK ON WEDNESDAY FROM MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS.  PTL.  Then the last two for the week will take place.  Labs and Medicare Exam.  Next week will be our regular yearly physical.  Lord willing, we will get a long break from appointments.  Hoping.

On Tuesday, Hubby met with a Orthopedic Surgeon about his foot that has caused him excessive pain since January.  After a Primary Care Physician appointment, X-rays, Orthopedic Surgeon Appointment, Orthopedic shoes and inserts made, a different Orthopedic Surgeon, MRI done where a lesion was found, icing it, and NSAIDS taken for months, a Cortisone Shot was finally given.  Still a mystery about what is taking place.  The Surgeon is stumped. 

Hubby will phone them in two weeks to report how the foot feels and then go from there.  Shall see and pray.  

Afterwards we had a big lunch and did some shopping.  Went to a grocery store for some cucumbers and to the Dollar Store for ETERNAL WATER.  Stopped off at HOBBY LOBBY.  

THIS WILL BE MY GARDENING SEAT.

Talked about getting a gardener's bench so I can sit on it while pulling weeds and grass out of the flowerbeds after the lawn has been treated for chiggers.  ARBOR FREIGHT had a roller seat that was a good price.  Got it.  Drove to a different community looking for BLUE POPCORN.  Found some.  Drove on HOME to rest and unload our spoils.

Before I rested, I decided to finish planting the Coleus I got the day before.  It filled in nicely the bare spot in the urn.  Watered the porch plants and admired their beauty.  

My Mom telephoned me for a chat.  She'll be coming to visit in a couple of weeks.  This will put the fire under me to get more done on tidying the COTTAGE.  It will be really nice to have her come for a stay.  

NOW, I have got to get the laundry completely done so I have a sense of being with the program and have my act together.  The Kitchen can be tidied some more for sure.  The Dining room will look like humans have a place to dine.  The small bedroom will have the appearance of being an actual bedroom and the door will be closed to the Master Bedroom as we have not even started setting it up.  Right now, it's a storage room.  oops.  The bathroom will be completed or nearly so before my 92 year old momma comes to visit.  The Living room is done.  The porch is done.  

We have two weeks.  

Get ready, set, go for it,
