I've been under the weather with a cold.
My ribs hurt from coughing and my nose is sore!
But I'm finally feeling better.

I just heard on the news that today is the
anniversary of the Who concert in Cincinnati where
11 people were crushed to death when fans ran through the stadium
to get to the best seats.
I was baby sitting my nephew that night for my sister and brother-in-law
so they could go to the concert.
They were not injured...........but it was a long night of worrying
for their friends and family, especially mom and dad.

I was going to order a grave blanket for moms grave.........looked at a couple
in the nursery but thought they looked tacky....and I wanted something more personal.....decided to make it myself.
Boyfriend said he worked for a nursery when he was 17 and knew how
to make them.........so we've been working on one for a couple days. Lowe's and Home Depot
have been giving us the branches from the Christmas trees they trim to use for our blanket.
It's looking pretty good so far...........

My Honda is great on gas.
I'm getting 35-40 miles per gallon.
I got about 18 miles/gallon from my Fusion.
So that makes me happy.
I miss my sun roof  and all wheel drive though.......

I had my mammogram. I put it off for 9 months because my left breast
was feeling weird. I was sure I had cancer. Lived with anxiety and worry
about it for months.......convinced myself the cancer had spread to my spine......crazy I know.....
it's how my mind works!
So I finally had the mammogram done...........told boyfriend if they send my results on a pink post card like letter then all is well........but if they send a letter, then it's bad news.
So I got the pink post card a few days ago...........was leaving to go shopping with boyfriend... He checked the mailbox on the way to the car and yelled out to me "You have a pink postcard!" Huge relief. :O)

Drug addicted sister checked herself into a rehab center, stayed for a week, left and used for about a week, checked herself into another place.......has been there for a month............that center sent her to the hospital for shortness of breath..........they did a full cardiac, pulmonary, and liver work up..........my understanding is that all checked out OK.............shes still at the rehab place............from there she will go to a year long drug rehab center.
She's not a nice addict.
She's angry, and hateful..............and she leaves a trail of destruction..............
I love her. I feel sad for her and for what she is going through. I feel compassion..............and yet
I hate the person she is when she is using......
daughter says "hate the disease not the person!" and I do for the most part.
