Poems, poems, poems!

Today I spent a couple of hours posting poems to my writing blog: http://evvygarrettpoetandwriter.blogspot.com/. Just click on the 'label' Poems Published.

Then I took a nap....

I want to try to post more poems soon. Hope you enjoy them!

Two doc appointments this afternoon. One to the Oncologist to schedule next Chemo (Probably next week-so don't look for many or any entries next week!), and one to a Gastroenterolist.

Although a marathon of docs exhausts me; I have to try to 'piggyback' appointments because it still costs me $9.00 round trip, and if I buy a cuppa, I spend over $10. So I really have to 'budget' my transit and doc visits.

BTW folks, it's been a very long time (over two months), since anyone has hit that PAYPAL button, so if you have a few bucks to spare...

Now I'm off to bed, and a TV movie. I may even be able to stay awake long enough to watch it!

Storm and Other Stuff

We had a cold, winter storm move through here late morning and mid-day. It was a real 'gully washer', making lakes of the sidewalks, and parking areas. Amazing stuff; I do love a good storm! No thunder and lightning though, that disappointed me! The wind however, was at times severe, so I had my computer turned off most of the day...

Mostly, Lucy and I sat at the window and watched. I tried a couple of times to get Big Boy to come in, but he would not have any of it for whatever strange reasons.

I was able to stay up in my wheelchair 4-5 hrs. at a time before having to lay down to rest.

This afternoon, Laura, from The Rock Church stopped by for a nice long visit. Among other things, she bought me two pictures from the latest Rock Church Cancer Ministry fund raising events. We ended our visit with a ‘joint’ prayer, which I really appreciated.

It was during this visit that my Grandson Michael called, but when I was able to return his call, his cell was messing up, so we are still playing ‘telephone’ tag. I am concerned about him because he is one of the MILLIONS that has had his work hours cut down to almost zero, and he’s job hunting. I don’t see or hear from him NEARLY often enough!

Valentine's Day 2009

I had a nice, peaceful day. Still recovering from the last Chemo, I was able to spend 3-5 hours up in my wheel chair before having to lay down and rest for awhile...

I made, and sent, an eValentine to family and friends.

Then a young woman, Rachel, from Sacred Heart Parish Young Adults group, who visits me once in awhile, bought me a beautiful bouquet of Orchids.

Towards evening, I put down some catnip for Lucy, and later Big Boy came in and 'killed' his favorite toy (a floppy stuffed animal rubbed with fresh catnip).

Sorry!

That I haven't posted for so long...

I've been doing 'big guns' Chemo every three weeks, hardly have time to 'recover' when it's time to 'go' again.

But I will make this blog a priority, and try to catch up, (you will be notified of any NEW entries, even if post dated, if you are a 'follower' of this blog.) when ever I have just a little energy!
