Sunny today but chilly. Temperatures are in the upper 50’s but we have those 40 to 50 mph wind gusts until late this afternoon.

CNA is coming this afternoon to help me with my shower.

Al arrived a little while ago. He is out running errands for me; renewing my car tag, bank, and grocery store.

Cloudy and cool today with light showers. The big story is the temperature. We go from hihgs in the 70’s the past few days to a high today in the upper 60’s and back down into the upper 30’s tonight.

The home health nurse arrived around 9:30 this morning. After she left I fixed my breakfast then tidied the kitchen.

Another warm. sunny day with temperatures in the upper 70’s.

The CNA was here at 8:30 to help me with my shower. After she left I texted Pratt to see if she was going into town today. She goes by my house on the way. She stopped by around 10:30 for a short visit and grab a couple of library books needing returned and a piece of mail.

My neighbor will stop in sometime this afternoon with my mail.

Another warm sunny spring day with temperatures in the upper 70’s and a slight breeze.

I cleaned the bathrooms and am doing a load of towels. For dinner putting chicken in the crock pot. Most likely open a can of black eyed peas to go with it. Something easy to manage.

Sunny with a breeze and temperatures in the mid 70’s.

Necessity being the mother of invention I discovered that putting the laundry basket in front of the walker it will turn a little to the side and slide along ahead of me.

Thus, I was able to do the laundry myself today. Made tea and tidied up the kitchen. Otherwise, hanging out in the den enjoying the lovely weather from inside the house and watching the birds.

Partly cloudy, breezy, and warm today. Temperatures in the low  to mid 70s.

Keli dropped off a freshly baked pan of shepherd’s pie around noon on her way to working at the bookstore. I ate some for lunch and froze the rest for future meals. I’ll fix something light for dinner.

I’ve had a rose-breasted grosbeak at my mesh feeder for a couple of days. I am sure he is just stopping by on his way to his summer residence but it was nice to have an unusual bird for our region make a visit.

Happy anniversary to Frances and Al.

Sunny and little warmer today with calmer winds.

Al drove me down to Winston this morning for my appointment with my infectious diseases doctor. They removed the pic line. No more antibiotic infusions. I still have the antibiotic spacers in the knee to continue fighting the infection. Glad to get rid of that part of the healing process.

He just left to head back to Winston. Jo is on the way over for a visit.

29 degrees this morning with 40 to 50 mph wind gusts putting the wind chill in the mid teens. Lots of wind snow this morning but nothing sticking except on the deck and the natural areas. It’s supposed to warm up into the low 40’s with diminishing winds this afternoon.

My CNA came this morning to help with my shower. Al is on his way here. He is taking my car in to be inspected so I can get my tag renewed and run a couple of other errands.

Frances is sending up leftovers from their Sunday Easter dinner for us to enjoy for dinner tonight.

I had a little over an inch and half of rain last night and this morning. The rain was mixed with a little sleet around mid-morning. The temperature this morning was 35 degrees. We warm up to a balmy 45 this afternoon with a chance of more rain showers.

My RN came this morning to draw blood and change out my pic line access.

Last night my internet connection went dead which meant the router either died or needed rebooted. The router is downstairs so…

This morning I called my tech guy. He came by around one. He went down to check and thankfully it just needed rebooted again. If it keeps happening I will have him replace it.

Donna dropped by a few minutes ago to bring me some eggplant parmigiana for my dinner.
