Went to bed around 1:45AM got up at 7:04AM. Took Alex to the bus stop, came back and crawled back in bed since I had nothing to do this morning. Slept until 11:00AM.
Logged into the computer and checked some of my favorite blog sites. Did some web surfing.
At almost 1:00PM mother returned from her trip out with her friend. We left about 1:20PM for town so that we could get to her appointment. We waited for the technician to finish with another patient for about forty minutes. I was allowed to go back for the procedure and realized again how frail Mom is getting when she tried to lay on the exam table. It was terribly painful for her. The test took about an hour.
After leaving the office we stopped at Pearle Vision Center to have Mom’s glasses adjusted. She had complained about them on the drive in so I thought stopping would help her.
I started a new book today: The Mind Map Book by Tony Buzan. I still have not finished the other one, but it is going so slow I thought reading something else would be a good idea. I managed to read quite a bit at the appointment.
When we returned home I computed some. I decided to go for a walk and take the digital camera with me to capture the scenery. I walked up to my brother’s property and took pictures of the two ponds and three horses. Being out felt very good. The horses licked my hands and allowed me to pet them, except for Jo she was being shy. Jo only really likes one human, my brother. Her prior owners abused her and she still seems to remember it. She is a beautiful American Quarter Horse. The pictures from my walk are above if you would like to view them in the folder named Pictures From My Walk, ingenious title, ay?
I cooked tonight. I still wish I did not have to do this chore. I wonder if taking cooking classes would change my opinion about the process. I doubt it.
Did some more surfing and talked to my best friend. Her day has been crazy as usual. I wish she could take some time away from all the chaos. It sounds like this Summer she and her husband will go on a vacation and leave the kids with me. I just hope I can work the schedules here at home around that time.
Alex wants to go to Boot Camp this Summer so that he is ready to go in the Marines as soon as he graduates. I am trying to convince him that maybe going in the military is no longer the best option for his future, but he seems sure he wants this. I will support his decision either way. I know his leaving is going to be incredibly hard for me. I will miss him so much. Heck, I miss him when he leaves for a few days now.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend…
Always,
Jo Ann
