It's Thursday and I'm kinda tired (again!)

 Went to bed at 9 or 9:30 last night and was super tired.  Then at midnight I got up with insomnia. Just hate it when that happens!  I played some solitaire online, made some cocoa, and read my book.  Took a Tylenol because my back ache still comes and goes.  I finally dropped off but was awakened at 7 with somebody's alarm clock buzzing and not being turned off. At least I think that's what it was.  I've been tired all day and had to take a nap at noon but made sure I only let it last an hour.

I rearranged the living room after breakfast. Was having problems with light reflecting on my laptop screen. First from the window and later from  my one and only lamp.  Now I'm sitting next to the window (this will be nice during spring and summer) and I put my card table with jigsaw puzzle in a better place. I think it made more room in here.  My nose has been running all day and my eyes feel icky so I guess it's allergies again.  Damn nuisance.

It's been kind of a hard week medical wise. I got an ultra sound on my bladder and kidneys and more blood drawn.  Doctor now wants me to get a cat scan on my kidneys. I'll do that on Wednesday.  The note in 'my chart' is worded like it's no big deal and she just wants to get a better look at some small abnormality that may be a cyst.  Oh great!  I've had bad kidney numbers for years but never really got too worried about it as the doctors never seemed to think it was that big a deal. Once that backache arrived on  the scene, however, and didn't go away in a timely matter, I figured I better find out what's what.

Unfortunately, I'm always thinking the worst and I'm ready to be told my days are numbered. Of course I know everybody's days are numbered but still....I'm just not in the mood right now!  I wish I could break myself of that habit but it's what I do.  Ironically, my neighbor Sue is having all kinds of medical problems at the same time. Our doctor and hospital appts often happen on the same day.  She's got two or three things amiss so I suppose I'm thankful that my issue right now is only the kidneys. Ha!  Only the kidneys! Who am I kidding?

Saw on Facebook that Lois Black, age 95, died.  Corrie Black posted pictures of her grandmother and this one caught my eye. It shows Lois in front and my mother directly behind her. It's the only photo I have of my mother as a child.  Lois was a bridesmaid at her wedding.  My mother died five years ago tomorrow.

If you get a chance to watch King 5 at 7:30 tonight, the Evening Show will feature my friend, Ann's son, Eric Judy on a story about his book store in Seattle.

I practiced my free motion quilting today and once I got the hang of it, it was kind of fun. I did this wall hanging and tomorrow will play around with another that has birds.

Boy, it's sure looking nice outside right now. I should go for a walk.  Should being the focus word here. I'm not really in the mood right now.

Saw Ted Cruz on the news yesterday. What a puke head he is!  I can't understand how people can be so very stupid to think he's worthy to be a senator.  He's a sleeze ball!  And so is Putin.  It would make my day if he dropped dead.

Okay. That's it for today.
