It has been a few days, so I will start with the most noteworthy event of the week.
Last night, we attended a family birthday celebration for granddaughters Maddy (16 on the 24th) & Prim (14 on the 25th).
Mom Jen & fiance Tanner hosted supper at Agave Authentic Mexican Grill. The three sisters and Alec brought the energy and charm to the table. (Grandma & Grandpa brought the cake.The cream cheese icing melted, but it was all good! )
The food and service were great (despite a full house) and a good time was enjoyed by all.
This afternoon we are going to Conexus Centre of the Arts Optimist Band Festival to hear Maddy debut with her French Horn (She’s been playing the trombone for years).
And tonight for Prim’s birthday, Jen and Tanner are taking her and her friend Luca out to a movie.
It’s incredible how fast our little dolls grew up! And a little sad… 😢
On another note… my health has been up and down for the past few days. One day I feel fine, the next – not so much. On Monday I had a fever ALL DAY. Fever is the one thing that knocks me down. Fortunately, it only lasted a day!
I haven’t heard from the CT lab yet, so haven’t seen my respirologist. No idea if the meds worked for my lung infection. 🤷♀️
My workouts have been a bit hit and miss but I generally do my morning aerobics and I have been fairly consistent with deep breathing.
I am definitely not where I would like to be physically, but I have been reading every day and gradually getting caught up with my spring cleaning. 🙂
That’s it for today. Take care and have a great day!
It is 141 Days since I started posting my Daily Food Diary and this is the 1st Day that I almost forgot to do it!
In my defense (no excuses):
1) Yesterday, was a ROUGH day. We had one more day of cold rainy weather and my lungs decided they were done. I did get my workout done and laundry. Dan made supper and did the dishes. I went to bed at 7 pm and woke up at 5am to a much better day.
2) Today is grandson Lucas’s birthday. We won’t be seeing them for a few more days, but when I got up I was focussed on sending him birthday wishes and a few dollars to spend on a gift from us.

3) This morning I had an 8:30 appointment with my respiratory specialist. I still have a lot of infection to clear up – especially in my left lung, but with better weather and the new sinus meds I am on – it should happen! Also chances are slim to nil that I will drown in my own mucus when I am under anesthesia for my hernia operation. I am still on the waiting list (since February) but that is ok. It gives me longer to clear up my lungs and a better chance of recovery from the anesthetic and the hernia.
4) On the way home, we stopped at the Dollar Store. I hadn’t been to a Dollar Store for ages, so I may have gotten a bit carried away. I put together a new bouquet for Dan’s parents’ grave, got a new solar frog for our garden (and some green paint because it is just pale grey), a new hair clip, and a new book to make notes of the Buddist wisdom that I have been studying this year – core values, breathing techniques, and the like, plus a few odds and ends.
My new notebook & frog.
5) Finally, tonight is granddaughter Maddy’s last band concert of the year. So, she called me about some last minute changes to the plan, I have to do my workout and my sinuses, AND take Molly for a good walk so she won’t destroy the place while we are gone tonight.
Maddy’s School is just a few blocks from us, so very convenient for attending concerts and such.
All in all, just more going on than I am used to! I was about to start my workout and remembered to do my blog. 141 Days and still counting!
