Wednesday Morning Jan 10th

Well the weather around here has been wet and mostly cool and yesterday late afternoon that storm that brought all the severe weather in the north and east hit here with violent wind and rain that was blowing every which way. We didn't sustain any damage here and the rain was a welcome relief since we were so dry for so long this summer. I stayed home from pickle ball as doctors orders but still don't know the reason why as my arm moves and not my shoulder, oh well. 

We did leave the house to go and visit Ava and bring her a chocolate gnosh (SIC) cake as well as a bouquet of fresh flowers from Publix. She is a tough girl with both eyes and nose swollen and one eye leaking fluid constantly from her operation which hopefully fixed her double vision issue and then straightened out her nose which was broken as well.

I started the day with a sleep in until close to 7, actually just laying there doing some praying and thinking about things before getting up and doing my routines which start with some quiet moments to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several . All are holding as of this post. I'm still in shock that two associates over the year who are younger passed away last week and now another friend of a friend died suddenly at a young age slipping in the bath tub striking her head and passing, yikes. Last night I did the bath tub scene as I didn't want to get this bandage wet from a shower so I too took a bath in the slippery tub with Nancy's help. So far I haven't needed any pain meds from the surgery but do feel thats its healing as the bandage has stayed clean with no blood leaks.

I got in lots of reading and watching You Tube video through out the day and started a new read by J.A. Jance titled FIELD OF BONES. She is an excellent author and I love her thinking and story telling which really mirrors real life scenarios especially with her different hero's in the stories she tells. Not much else going on except Nancy made a beef and barley soup from the frozen rib roast bones and fat from the Christmas dinner, yeow was and is that every so delicious. We have enough for a lunch and then another supper as the pot grew with added carrots, celery, onions and tatters. So good and good for you, LATER
