Sunday

 I spent most of the day in the yard.

I edged,  mowed, planted numerous plants and I laid mulch. It looks better!

I just took my scrubs out of the dryer and hung them. They don't need to be ironed which is a good thing since I don't own an iron or ironing board!

Oldest sister is in the hospital and has been for the past 10 days. She was septic, dehydrated, and had pneumonia. She was negative for Covid-19. They checked her several times. She was in the ICU for a few days and then the regular floor. Yesterday they sent her to a rehab floor where she will stay for 10 days I think.

My doctor raised the dose of the anti-depressant that I take. I don't think I'm depressed. I think I worry, and have anxiety. I told her about how I lose my words and lose my train of thought, or forget what I'm saying in the middle of speaking. These symptoms started about 6 months before boyfriend died. Daughter says they've improved some the last several months. My sister a year older has been experiencing the same symptoms. She had an MRI and was evaluated by a neurologist. They tested for dementia/Alzheimer's. Although her test did show short term memory loss, she does not have dementia. Her doctors believe stress is doing this to her. So I told my doctor what's going on with my sister. My doctor does not believe I have dementia or Alzheimer's. She very much thinks my problems are related to stress. We agreed to see how I'm doing in 6 months.

I love my little house.

I wish boyfriend could be here to enjoy it with me.

Lil man (Mr. Bojangles) is in the office in his favorite chair. He's doing ok. He's my buddy. I love him.

My adult children were here yesterday for lunch. It was oldest sons birthday. It was a nice time. I'm lucky to have them. They're good kids.

Thursday

 I got up this morning at 4.

My cat, Mr. Bojangles, woke me to let him  outside and I couldn't get back to sleep.

 I made myself 2 fried eggs, and now here I am. Kitty is back inside. He's next to me in bed bathing.

 I'm listening to a thunderstorm on you tube. I sleep with the storm on most of the time. It's soothing to listen to.

Tuesday it was almost 70, sunny and blue skies. Wednesday we had snow and freezing temps. I think it's supposed to snow today too. Next week they say it will be back in the 70's. I have a bunch of plants in the back of my car. Hopefully this is the end of the cold weather so that I can plant this stuff. 

Lowes had mulch on sale for 2 dollars a bag. I got ten bags. Last year I paid like 6 bucks a bag. So yay for the sale!

I finally found a picture to hang on one of my living room walls. It was an inexpensive canvas painting of a multi propeller airplane. It looks like an old war plane to me. it's like 5 feet wide so it covers a pretty big space. I really like it!

Tuesday

 I cleaned all my windows. Yay! It feels good to have it done. Mostly though I've been working in the yard. I've planted tomatoes, lettuce, and a raspberry bush. I think I'll also plant some pumpkin seeds and red peppers.

 I bought a bunch of perennials this year. I can't tell you what they are without looking at the tag that comes with them. Hopefully, assuming it all survives, I wont have to buy so much next year. I finished planting all of them last evening. Next year after it has all matured it should look pretty.

I put a new toilet seat on. I procrastinated forever doing it because I was afraid it would be too difficult for me to do. It was simple! Don't be afraid to change your toilet seat if it needs it! LOL.  I was very proud of my work!

Work is going ok. The new DON is a nice woman. She's not a morning person so I try to not bother her for a couple of hours into our shift. After that though she can be fun. 

Mr. Bojangles is doing just fine. He will be either 13 or 14 this year. He has a couple of grey hairs. I'm not sure if his age makes him old or not. He doesn't act old and he doesn't seem to hurt anywhere. Actually I've noticed a little pep in his walk lately. He's my little buddy that I love.

Tuesday

My tulips are blooming. I think they're so beautiful. They close in the evening and then open back up in the morning.

Woodys' little grave.

You knew Mr. Bojangles could dance. Did you know he can also sing!

 

Monday

 Happy Easter.

I had my family over for Easter dinner. We had a nice time. The weather was perfect. It was warm and sunny. Plus the sky was so blue and pretty.

My Tulips are blooming. They look beautiful.

Daughter stayed the night last night. We stayed up and watched some true crime TV shows. We also acted silly and cracked ourselves up. She's still sleeping in the other room. Mr. Bojangles is in bed with me. He just finished bathing and will probably be sleeping soon.

The plan for today is to do a little shopping, and maybe a little dumpster diving.
