PAY BACK

 I told myself that a diabetic could not eat fried chicken breast on a white bun and French fries and get away with it.  I don't ignore my diet hardly ever but I did yesterday.  Was it worth it?.  I guess so, but I am being very careful today.  Oh but there is nothing like Chick-Filet. 

Morning second cup of coffee was very pleasant on the balcony.  I think it will be too warm soon.  I get the morning sun.  I pretended I was strolling through my flower garden as I used to do.  The walk was short but beautiful.  I do love these three big pots planted with some new things.  They were bought with advice from the flower store with morning sun in mind.  Sometime we want something so bad that you take a chance on it and most of the time they don't do well.  Just like life choices I guess. 

Well here is to Saturday.  Always a different feel to it.  Kind of a fun day sometime.  I remember as a child many things about Saturday.  Then there was Sunday to look forward to.  Hey, don't go there.  Stay and see what today's Saturday will have for me.

BETTER BITSY

I dare to hope.  She seems better but still it is a guessing game.  Our vet at Briarwood was so nice and interested to help.  New meds and new food is the game plan as he said.  She seems glad to get home and is no worse for the experience.  Funny, I keep thinking like a human and not through her eyes.  Anyway we are still hanging in there.

Jan and I went to Dillards this morning.  My favorite place to shop.  I love their Petite Dpt.  I always find loads of things I like.  Brought home a few items.  We were so hungry , so we just could not make it out of the Mall.  Of course Chick-filet is another favorite.  I went all the way and had mine fried and FF potatoes.  I may pay for it but it will be worth it this time.

BITSY

Sure miss that little girl kitty.  Amy and I have decided to get another opinion today.  Briarwood in Jackson, where I took all our animals in the past. seems the place to go.  I know them there and feel like they can help.  Will let you know her progress.

Exciting news about our duck,  Kathryn 2.  She has been dubbed that by a couple here.  She has built a nest in the most unusual and dangerous place.  In the flower bed right in front of my entrance-at the street level.  Many pass that way each day.  She is out in the open, but still because of her color. she is hard to see.  Hope she does not get scared and give up.  Everyone is excited.   Oh yes, I got my pots planted.  They look beautiful
All for today..

I AM STILL HERE

I have just been busy --taking care of me and Bitsy.  We two can't get it right.  Bitsy is at the Vet's right now with her same olds issues.  She has been sick off and on since she became mine.  I miss her when she is not here.  I did not realize how much.  Maybe today we will find some answers I hope so.  For me, just mundane things that  plague the (elderly).  I hate that word. 

I had breakfast in the Cyber.  The coffee machine was out of order.  Lots of needy people will be unhappy.  Annie,( an angel) who works the Cyber, went to the Activity room were the real early birds have coffee and brought the few that were having breakfast, coffee.  She was a real angel this morning.       Amy and I plan to go buy plants for the balcony this morning after we hear from Bitsy,  I need just a few to fill three pots.  I am cutting back on buying so many, but need a few.  They brighten me every day they bloom.  Need all the brightening I can get.  How about you?

SATURDAY

Jan came.  Always a pleasure.  I am proud of her.  Wish I could take credit  for all my wonderful daughters and how they turned out.  Can't do that.  When you are raising a family. you just don't know the outcome but I am pleased with mine. 

We went to Stein Mart and I bought two pair of shorts.  Mine were so outdated since they were maybe 10  years old.  I am thinking about going to Beach Week in June with the gang.  I hope I can keep up and not wimp out for some reason.  Everyone is so good and thoughtful to me.  I really don't just don't want  to be left here alone either.  We will see.  Our condo sounds so wonderful and large.  I can feel the sea breeze and think of the wonderful food we have. Maybe I will write some good poetry down there.

CANADA OR CANADAIAN ?

My loosing battle with how to pronounce Canada geese.  I know I am right so I give up on some who insist it is otherwise.  Anyway, they are back and mean as ever.  I watched a gaggle on my shore this morning.  It seems a pair are insisting on finding a nest spot here under the balcony ,  I don't know if the others are warning them not to or if they are jealous of the spot.  I do know they just can't do it.  They fussed and flew at each other till all flew away.  I am sure the "little white truck", with it's loud noise will come soon.  They are all over the meadow on the other side of the lake and I am sure the people who walk are afraid of them.  They can be very aggressive.  Oh well, nature, with our help will soon take care of it.  In the meantime, I am going to Kroger and must get ready.  Wish I had all day to watch the drama unfolding, but it takes too long.

MORNING HAS BROKEN

If you have never started your day outside, like a balcony. try it.  I could get used to it.  There is nothing like starting the day before many things take your time and thoughts.  Just to connect to God and talk to him.  It all feels so good.  I saw mother and daddy duck strolling beneath my balcony.  I hope they are going to choose this area for their nest.  I also say a "gaggle" of Canada geese strolling over the golf tee.  They are getting bold again.  The little white truck will be behind them soon I bet.  They are just too aggressive to live here.

I am getting back into the game.  I walked two short trips in the hall yesterday.  I might try exercise class today. Joints need a work out. Not exactly back to par==or is this it?  I will see..
