April 1, 2006

Cannot sleep again, not Miss Kittys fault this time, my body hurts. I maybe exercising too much. Once I get started I don't want to stop. I got an adjustment today, my hips and legs hurt though. Backs of my thighs are really sore, that is from working in the yard Tuesday. I am going to work on the flower bed again today. I have a lot of weeds to get rid of. So far just 5 peonies are up. I some dahlia to set out, have to decide where. I also have some ornamental grasses coming in the mail soon, not sure where I want to put them. I also have to plant the dahlias somehere.

Work was better Friday, we had several patients, so the day went faster. Thank goodness its finely the weekend.

I have had a good day. Not a lot has happened today. Work was not bad, kind of boring. One new patient today, we got one yesterday. If we could get 1 new patient a day that would be good. Dr. Brown will be out tomorrow, just Dr. Foster and me. She went home sick today, so hopefully she will be there tomorrow.

Worked out again today, makes 9 days in a row. Hopefully my sugar will go back down. It never got real high, but I would like it lower.

Husband has to go back to the eye doctor Friday, hope that will be the last time. Each time he goes its $25.00 co-pay. I could have been worse, he could have lost his eye.

Vacation time is getting closer. I am a little nervous, but excited. I think it will be lots of fun to see all the stars up close.

I have had a good day. Started out at 6:10 this morning. This is my half day at work, so I spend most of my afternoon in the yard working in my flower beds. First I visited with daughter, then lunch, then time for weeding. I pull, dig up weeds, mulch and they just keep coming back. I am going to try and not let it get out of hand this summer. Once it get hot I stay inside. Plants are lucky if they get watered. I hope all this weeding I did today, I don't get poison ivy.

Five of my peonies are up, I still have one more to show up. Tulips are blooming. I need to get more tulips this fall to set out. I don't have as many as I did. I need to move some of my day lilies. I want to move them closer to the front of the garden so I can see them better. I need to dig up some iris they are getting thick again. I have lot of yellow with gold. Maybe I can sell them on ebay.

Red Hat tonight, we ate at Al Dente's, it was good. I ate shrimp scampi with some pasta, salad with garlic bread. First time there, it was very good.

6:53 AM, could not sleep last night. Took a shower before I went to bed, it woke me up. Took a long time before sleep arrived. I walked on elipatial walker yesterday for 30 minutes, I am glad to get that done, every day since the 21. My sugar was 129 this morning, 128 yesterday. Supposed to eat 5 veg. and fruits a day, most I eat is fruit. I cooked pinto beans, corn bread and turnip greens last night for supper. Ate good all day long, no icecream or junk. I am going to wait a while before I start lifting weights. I purchased a pilates magic circle use it on my inner thighs.

Green house is looking good, plants are growing, the wind sure is rough on the plastic cover, several rips in the plastic around the frontdoor. I am going to try and sew it back up. I love growing my own flowers and vegetables for the garden. I have about 12o tomato plants more egg plants and peppers that I will ever eat. I tried eggplant parmsean the other day, it wasn't bad, Kenneth wouldn't eat though.

Supposed to rain this week again, we have been behind all winter on rain, then we get it all in March, it will quit and the garden will burn up just like last summer. I will have drag the hose around to keep the tomato plants going.

Kennth is not going to work today, his eye still hurts and he can't stand the light. I am going to call the eye doctor, get him appointment, hopefully I can. He is a very independent person, but when he gets sick or hurts himself, he can't do anything.

Cleaned out my closet yesterdayn now my bedroom is a mess, I was looking for ankle weights, my daughter had some, don't know where they are. I sure do have a lot of paper back books and magazine. Mostly magazines about food, no wonder I am fat. A good stack of copies from the internet. Southern Living, Yoga International, I am going to throw them away??????

Stay up late with granddaughter, we went to bed about 2:30 this morning. Then son-in-law called this morning at 7:30. Husband and he were going to set up deer stand. Husband manages to cut his wrist, I said need stitches, but no, not going to set in emergency for 2-3 hours. Just tape it up. Husband decides to mow, loose limb hanging in tree, he pulls it down right into eye. Cut his eye and scratched his eyeball. I did not see any thing punctured. He has not had a good day.
I planted some little seedings that sprouted, about 30 red salvia, put them out in the green house, it didn't seem to hurt them. The butterflies love the red salvia and I love the way they look. I planted some butter cups, lemon gem marigolds, the leaves smells like lemons when brushed. I have columbines, they won't bloom till next spring, same with the fox glove, if they survive. The fox glove is kind of spindly.
I am enjoying the green house. I have been wanting one for a long time, I have it full. It can get really warm in there during the day when the sun is out. My cover ripped from the wind, but I thing I can fix it .

Friday

Friday, March 24, 2006. TGIF! It has been a good week. Went by pretty fast till Thursday then it slowed down. Slow at work too, thought things were picking up but no.
My plants in my little greenhouse are growing. This is my first year to have a greenhouse. We have about 90 tomato plants growing, several eggplants, jalapeno peppers and flowers. My husband says I have more flowers than I can put out. I will try to get them all out. Susie says I can give her some, so I will do that. I opened a package of dalhlia seeds, put them between wet paper towel and I think every seed sprouted. I have about 40 dalhlia plants growing. It will be interesting to see what colors I get. I also did with the fox glove, they are kind of spindley, but maybe I will get a few out of them that will live. Maybe I can keep them alive through the summer. They won't do anything till next year anyway. I may try some seeds with potting mix and see if they will be stronger.
I have asparagus coming up this year. I love that stuff, I planted 25 plants, so far, just a few have stalks coming up, but it is still early.
I think I am going to look for some tomatillo salsa. It sounds good. Karen my sister made green pepper relish, it was very good.
We have had lousy weather here this week, cold and rainey. We needed the rain, but not all at once. I am afraid when it stops, we won't get enough for the garden this summer. Thats what usually happens.
I walked four days this week, I have been a couch potato long enough. This sitting around watching tv every night has to stop. My sugar is up some, it stayed down while I was working out, lets see what happens.
