Finally Got a Few Test Results

Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, before supper, Ryan came over and started putting together my final set of shelves.  He finished it after supper, and Kevin helped him carry it into my bedroom and put it in the corner where I wanted it.  It’s great.  Today I started putting clothes on the shelves.  I thought for sure that Penny would climb all over it, but she didn’t.  At least not yet.

I finished a couple more ornaments this weekend.  I haven’t started anything new yet.  Not sure what I am going to do next. 

Oh Oh – there is a fly in the house, and guess who is chasing it.  She is in attack mode right now.

Today I caught up some of my computer work re:  genealogy; filled the shelves of my new piece of furniture, straightened up the books in my bookcase in my bedroom, and a few other odds and ends.  I was hoping to get outside and pull some weeds this evening, but it is still so hot I may not do that.  Stayed tuned – I will let you know.  Nope – I didn’t!

Not one of my better days.  We had a couple of storms today which cooled the weather somewhat.  However, between my fibromyalgia and arthritis I was in a lot of pain all day.  Starting to feel a little better now.  Didn’t get a lot done today. Just a load of wash, dishes, and a little genealogy work.  Oh well.  I guess we all have those days, and this was one for me.

Yesterday was Wednesday, and it was doctor day.  I found out some results from all these tests I have been having.  It seems I have emphysema, and I will be seeing a lung specialist.  This is the result of second hand smoke.  However, the rest of my tests (lab work, etc.) turned out just fine.  I guess I am doing pretty good – now if I could just breathe!

Last night I went to bible study at church.  Also got a tour of the new building.  It is really nice.  Not quite finished, but should be by sometime in September.  Contractors are running a little behind.

I just came in from mowing grass.  It sure felt good to be outside, but now I’m tired.  I only cut two small sections of the yard.  I may go out later and either mow some more or pull some weeds.  Renea is out there mowing grass now.  She did her front yard and part of mine.

After supper I pulled a few more weeds.  I don’t think I will ever get that caught up, but I keep working on it.

It’s Friday and going to be another hot one!  The only thing I’ve done outside so far today has been to fill the birdfeeders.  They’ve been empty for a while so I guess it will be a few days before the birds come back.  I will be watching.  The hummingbirds didn’t waste any time – they are back already!

Called One Exchange to set up my phone appointment to discuss my new health insurance and prescription insurance.  It won’t be until November.

I just trimmed the weeping willow tree, and fed the tree and all three azalea bushes since I had finished weeding them.  Caught up on the information in my garden journal.

I have seen a few birds this evening at my backyard feeders.  I also spent about an hour pulling weeds in the front (east) rock garden.  Hopefully, I will finish before winter J
