Re: Good day for a test run

[Guest guest]

Hi Gang

Just a note of encouragement! I am trying something new, posting a message from

my e-mail instead of the website or by reply. It is a good thing to feel good

enough to try to learn something new, and even better if it actually works, so

we will see when this comes thru. I am on digest so it will be a while before I

get to see this post, and I am not going to waist precious time by going to the

website to see if it goes thru! Does that sound odd? Yes I am starting out to

have a good day. Just a bit of a stiff neck, I can live with that. Just a bit of

discomfort in the back, I can live with that too. The sun is shining out side,

the snow is melting and it looks more and more as if we are going to have an

early spring breakup season here on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska. I have so

many projects that actually do give me joy to do, but I cannot decide if I want

to do the outdoor projects, or some of the indoor ones. I know that they will

all make me tired and sore, but the happy

in the heart will make it worth while. Some of the projects include tidying up

the greenhouse and getting the seedbeds ready, also have a new heater to get put

together for the greenhouse I WILL HAVE TOMATOES THIS YEAR!!! Cleaning up the

shed that houses the 4-wheeler, empty out the 4 wheeler trailer so that I can

use it in spring cleaning of the yard. Start to get the old wood shed ready to

take down so that I can move it, have to stake out and clean up a different part

of the yard for the new shed. (too close to the house for the insurance to be

happy with it!) We ahve mostly wood fireplace heat in the winter, so that is a

big deal for us. It is too early to do much outdoors, but I can get started ,

and I am just itchy for spring cleaning! Indoors I am working on finishing part

of my cieling, but I need my hubby to help with that, it will look good with

nice wood panneling instead of the floor joists that hold up the loft floor. In

my loft room I need to tidy up what has

become a sewing room and storeage of all the camping gear. I am finishing a

wall that we just put a window in, and I want to put in shelves to organize my

quilting stuff. I am planning to build a nice sewing machine cabinet that will

be home to my new quilting machine and also have a fold out sort of spot for the

serger. My old Singer has her old cabinet and that will stay. I inherited that

machine from my first mother in law. We were closer than 2 peoplle could have

been, she wanted to adopt me and get rid of her no good son!!!! It was all I got

when she died, her rings and mink coat went to my husband's girlfriend (yes you

heard right) & the Dad in Law and his no good son sold the rings and went to Las

Vegas!!! That was many years ago and I am still agravated about it! O well, I

have a good hubby now, and My dear MIL's spirit and love are still with me in

the sewing machine. As you can see, I love my sewing room! But I also love the

greenhouse and the weather is getting

warmer as I type! And by the way, I really am having a good day! I can type

today! I will let you know how the day goes, O by the way, I am also getting my

bowles ready for my first colonoscopy scheduled for early Monday morning, so no

dinner tonight, just liquid today and that gunk tonight! Whis me luck!

Love and gentle hugs,

Connie

Wow what a day, the back hurts pretty good, got a nice headache going on too,

typing is not so good. But I got all sorts of seed trays ready to plant, got

some tidying done in the greenhouse, it will be ready soon. Got my sewing room

cleaned out and drew up a nice plan for a couple of pieces of furnature that I

hope to build on another good day in the future, finished up some laundry, and I

am just about done with that horrid gallon of gunk a person is supposed to drink

to get ready for a colonoscopy! I am so hungry I could eat just about anything,

but I can't have anything until after that procedure in the morning. Best part

of the day, my daughter and her family came over today, spent nearly the entire

day with the 2 little granddaughters! Now how cool is that! My son in law

helped me get part of my broken porch roof down, I will have to get help

rebuilding that in the summer since the ice on the roof tore it off earlier this

month. My daughter made her famous lazagna and we invited my parents over for a

feast. I tried a new cake recipe that I thought would be great, and it went

over like a lead balloon! Peanut butter and chocolate bunt cake. Some of the

family liked it and some tried to feed it to the dog (who burried her piece

under the couch!) Of course I could not have anything, but mine is in the frig

for tomorrow! The kids played all over the place and finally got to take a

" swim " in Gramma's whirlpool tub! We watched videos of the girls' gymnastics

and ballet recitals. It was just the best sort of day, and not hardly any pain!

Last time I tried to do stuff all day I nearly had to go to the hospital! Well,

I guess I will be in the hospital in the morning, but that is a good thing too!

Love to all

Connie

Sounds like you are enjoying the day, or at least your plans for the

day. I myself always have big plans. Sometimes I get-um done, sometimes

not. But when the sun is out..it always makes me want to get busy. And

that colonoscopy....I had one a few years ago, along with the one that

goes down your throat, anyway, never felt a thing afterwards. BUT.....I

could not stand the stuff they made me drink....I wanted and came very

close to throwing up. In fact I did not finish the magic potion drink,

it was just too much. ANYWAY! Glad to hear you have Great Plans and

your spirit is high!
