My Week

My sons and I went to Prairie Capital Convention Center to see Cirque Quidam Wednesday evening. We were way up high and brought our binoculars. We all enjoyed the show. Alan was afraid there would be a lot of kids there making noise but it was pretty much adults there.

Thursday I went to the doctor about my sore throat. My culture was negative so I can get away with just cough drops. I then went to an ABATE meeting. I asked that our Italian Dinner tickets be mentioned. I didn’t have any one approach me afterwards to get a ticket. I did get a photo of our trophy that Lincoln Land ABATE won for membership. Our chapter had 98 new members.

Friday I spent my lunch hour honoring USAF veteran, Donald Carlin, for his funeral through a Patriot Guard mission at Camp Butler. Weather was real nice.

I went to an ‘Un-Valentine’ dance at the VFW on Saturday. Wow, what was I thinking that Gene and I could dance with these folks into 5 of 6 lessons? We are learning Fox Trot, Waltz, Rumba, and Swing. Half the time watched in amazement. Although there were a few out there that only did the same dance over and over despite the style/beat. It was still fun. Cha-Cha was the free lesson but is too advanced at this stage. I couldn’t believe how fast the night went since I usually don’t stay up late. The last of the lessons was Tuesday night and improvement was made.

At church we had 3 new servers on their first time and father introduced them as triplets. He also mentioned to keep in our prayers for a couple that wed on Saturday whom I recognized. Sunday after church I went nowhere. In fact I took a nap and even went to bed early. I did cook a great and healthy lunch: carrots, peppers, and turkey ham. However, when I do go to bed early, I usually wake with a headache as was the case. This time I took 2 aspirins and didn’t fight with hoping time will make it go away.

I made an appointment for a mammogram on my day off for Presidents Day. I got a call the next day that I’m fine. I mentioned my day off activities the next day at work and happened to mention how I left the little bead that is placed on my breasts during the exam on till my next shower just for fun. He didn’t get it so I had to bring the little sticker in to show him. I don’t know what I was thinking but if he had to ask his wife she’d just wonder how he’d know about something that intimate. See attached bead sticky.

I finished hemming my skirt for my historic ball gown for the upcoming Grierson Galla in Jacksonville this weekend. In the evening I went to the VFW meeting. Bob gave me a check to pass to the Veterans Center from the Order of the Purple Heart to buy bus tokens for veterans which I gave my son who works there.

Wednesday I have exercise class during my lunch so I got Lenten ashes in the evening.
