Here And There And Back Again


This page was created with a kit called Gentle Love by my friend Rosie given to the members of our scrapping group.

Good Afternoon,
 I have had a busy morning today then this afternoon I had an appointment for lab work. Wouldn't you know that I would get a new girl that was just learning to stick people!!!
 But she did great considering she is new to this. She did have to call someone more experienced in to help her navigate my veins to find a good one, but once she found it, it went pretty smooth. I was in and out in 15 minutes and my driver waited on me so I was lucky there.

 Cisco and I had Pizza for lunch.... He actually had more than I did. As hungry as I was, I just couldn't eat all 3 slices so he got a slice and my crust too. I have a very happy dog now who is laying in his bed snoring away.

 Ragweed and pollen is very high here. I have been sneezing my head off, and my eyes are all itchy and red and my nose is in love with my Kleenex tissues. I looked it up on the internet to see what we are in store for next. Not happy but it is spring. I have some pictures to share. You can see what is giving me allergies and did I mention the headache? Yes I have one of those too.

It is very pretty to see the Crepe Myrtles blooming, but the pollen is wicked...

See that tree behind the garages? That is just starting to bloom and blowing right over to my building.

This tree hasn't started blooming yet. In fact it only has very tiny nubs on it. This is the apartment building right next to my door and patio. It is the lack of sun on this side of the building that makes these trees and everything else planted not bloom very well because we are on the shady side.

Karyn and Joe loved their lime and orange trees. Joe is researching the best kind of plant food for them. They were very excited to get them and I had an extra pot and I gave it to them the other day. 

 Tomorrow I have to see my Rheumatologist and the next day my foot doctor and the next day my kidney doctor and then I think that I am ok until the 28th and then I will have more to schedule that are 3 and 6 month follow up's and my annual labs and physicals. Man when you have to see specialists, my insurance puts me thru the hoops. I was told today that when I come in May 3rd I will be given my referrals to get my mammogram done... Wonderful. At least that appointment is usually a quick one. But I need to have it done. Something happened back in October and for some reason I didn't get it so I will have it in May. I try to schedule that one and my well woman's exam in October because it is Breast Cancer awareness month but for some reason I didn't get either of them. I am sure that I am the one that forgot about it. My memory is not as good lately as it use to be.

 Jon will be home soon and I am going to have my shower and then go to bed early and watch some tv. Probably catch up on Dateline and if I am lucky I might get to watch the last part of Haven. I want to finish it before I start on The Crown season 2. Karyn beat me to it and said it was wonderful. She watched the entire season one weekend. I loved the first one. It was really awesome. But I love anything that has to do with the Royal Family. 

 Sorry my post is short today. Not much happening except the wind and it is hot outside. Spring is going to be here shortly but already it feels like summer. At least we don't have the wild fires that Australia is dealing with right now. 
 Oh I almost forgot to tell you that Austin has now had 4 bombings... We now have a serial bomber in our city. This time he struck two guys riding their bicycles in a neighborhood and they rode over a trip wire. They said he is getting more bold and his skills are improving. So our mayor and city officials are warning us to be more vigilant and if we are suspicious about anything do not try and second guess. Do I call the police or not? What if it is nothing and I am taking them away from something important and this call was nothing. They said to call. Don't doubt yourself if you see anything at all that looks out of place or looks like it might be a suspicious package. This sure scares me because right now we have a huge festival going on and I am so fearful that someone else might get hurt. One person died, the other 2 are critical and the 2 men on the bicycles are expected to fully recover. So scary...

 This is it for me today... take care and be safe and watch out for one another... BB
