My Week

My week began with Spring 

I was without a car last weekend because it was towed to the shop.  My car cost me $538.41 (that was after a 10% discount for being a church member by the manager).  That includes tow, spark plugs, key fob battery, gasket, and emission cleaning.  In the evening I drove for the first time in 3 days to the VFW meeting in the evening.

My DNA matched a 2d cousin, Rob Campbell, in Florida who had been adopted. Our common ancestor is Ida Terres' sister, Lillian Maria Terres.

Ancestry.com is linked to a defunct email and won't let me change it. I deleted Yahoo a few months ago after the 2 major security breaches.When I attempt to change it:
"We're sorry, we were unable to update your email address because the email address you entered is already in use."
Above, Ancestry says my hotmail already exists via Roostweb merger with Ancestry years ago. There's nothing in the help topics for me.  Rootsweb apparently allows multiples on an email but Ancestry doesn't. I am a free member too and I don't believe being a paid member will correct this problem either. I have 9 account IDs with rootsweb (3 have unknown passwords).

Wednesday morning I got my recycles out just in time for pick up.
Then the finishing touches on my sun room trim and remnants in the garage were cleared out.
I may need a landscape specialist because the deck is about a foot further out and I see a plant coming up through the boards.    I had lunch with Michael and visited a fellow VFW member in ICU.

I made a pocket for my civil war skirt similar to the linen pocket only darker so it won't show.   I figured out the stitches used from the linen one.  Women wore these under their skirts and they were removable.

Friday I got my pre-operative instructions in the mail.
April 4, 2PM Lab work
April 25, 2:30PM Pre-Op visit with doctor with my son present
April 27, 5AM arrive at Memorial surgical services
May 12, 2PM removal of stitches

Saturday I went to a presentation by General Grant.

It was raining afterward so I had to wait to get to my car.

Last year I had a wreath hanging from my porch light and it had a nest. The wrens are back. I picked this up at the Goodwill and they seem interested.  I'm not sure about how I strung up the bird house.

Sunday morning began with painful tears.  I didn't get to go to my usual 8AM Mass but felt well enough to go at 10:30.  I finally got to take Sophie for a short, slow walk and got IT OUT OF HER. She doesn't have sympathy for me when I feel down and out. Still wants me to bend over and pick up her toy and throw it.

My son helped me put the furniture in the new sun room.   This room will be nice during recovery when I'm grounded to the house and still want that outdoor feeling.

Here is my first asparagus of the season.  There is a little one right behind it so maybe I'll eat tomorrow.   I ate it. I broke it into 3 little pieces in the microwave with water.  I noticed that some grass seed in the bare spot where I used to park the trailer is also perking up green.

 Well, I just keep telling myself, I'm not that bad if it's a 2 month wait to fix with surgery.  I'm a sissy!
