I'm Still Standing

Well, my birthday has come and gone for another year.  These past five years I've been especially aware that I'm probably lucky to still be getting birthdays.  I don't take any of them for granted anymore.  I went to bed feeling kind of yucky last night but there was no guessing about why.
'Cause my daughter brought my favorite cake -- white with white frosting from the bakery. Oh lordy! I do love cake!  My refrigerator is looking pretty bare right now. Red bowl with lettuce inside, red radishes, red tomatoes, and red apples. Guess I'll have a salad for dinner since I'm not in the mood to cook.

I've been so hooked on playing games online that I decided this morning I really needed to put that computer away in a closet to remove temptation.  Figured I could always play on my laptop in the kitchen if I got to missing it too much.  Needed the space in the sewing room for sewing and crafts anyhow.

After visiting Highland yesterday and being told again that it might take a year to get in, I knew I had to resign myself to keeping busy here and just wait it out.  I moved my bed closer to the window and put my printer in there out of the way (just to mix things up a little)

I sat down at the sewing machine determined to at least finish zigzagging around the animals on the quilt squares I've been messing with.  Got a ways to go as I work on each square with more detail.

I looked over the "free website" to see what was available out there as I might need a small lamp by my bed.  Didn't find one but I'll keep looking. I did see a woman looking for flower pots so I sent her a picture of the two I had and she came over and picked them up.  I do enjoy that website.  Has helped me immensely to downsize the stuff in the garage and yard. Pretty much everything is gone now.

I set up a jigsaw puzzle that Mary Gaboury gave me for my birthday but it's kinda easy and only 350 pieces so I'll probably set up the second one next week.  Just to keep busy in every corner of the house. Decided I really wanted something on my walls besides the one bicycle so I hung my grandpa's old house on Kuhn and a Judy Garland poster.

  

I just yelled at Alexa to play Bob Dillon songs and man, am I ever enjoying the fact that I can have any music right at my fingertips.

The ear ringing continues as does the dizziness but I don't know what I can do about it so I'm just hanging tough until next Monday when I see the P.A. and pray she has an idea for a cure.

Tomorrow is lunch with my daughter, Sue, at the casino and then the rest of the week will consist of the usual -- meaning not much going on. But I'm okay with that.  Guess I'd better get up and shut the sliding glass door now. Wind is picking up a bit.
