The ground is saturated and it looks like it is raining all over our area even though they say it is not hitting the ground. So it is a cold and damp weekend. We are 43-48 and our highs are usually in the 70's this time of year. So searching for a sweater!
Not going to lie... this is how I feel even a week after surgery. My goodness I am ready for this numbness to go AWAY. I am not excited about weeks and months of this! I am not really complaining I hope, just stating a fact.
So what are you going to do this weekend? I don't have a clue what is in store for us. We are waiting on the Septic repairman right now. Will probably be a rather large expense today for weekend call and possible pump replacement. Always fun to wake up on the weekend to the alarm going off. But whatever you do I hope you will share your smile and blessings with everyone you encounter.
Rollercoaster weather here in Buffalo too. It can't make up it's mind. Warm a few days then back with the furnace on again and some rain too. Was able to have some exterior house painting done and it did not rain a few days after. So thankful for that. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs, Jackie
This afternoon is flying by so fast and enjoying every moment of it doing this and that and having a cup of some flavored chocolate, vanilla and strawberry coffee called Neapolitan.It is a limited editon from the brand Good & Gather. I do believe this is another one of my favorites. So smooth and tasty.
Like the sky opens after a rainy day we must open to ourselves. Learn to love yourself for who you are and open so the world can see you shine.
It's a beautiful day somewhere! Maybe at your place. OK, rain is beautiful and it has been raining non stop here since early morning. Yes, it is a beautiful day here!
See... what do you think? It is a beautiful day. Now the question is, what to do today? Well,
Ok, I may not do exactly that today. After all it is only 56 now. But if the sun comes out today or tomorrow, I will most certainly be outside checking plants and seeing what to get into. Thanks Cheryl for your friendship here. Love your posts!
Thursday is almost over but the great news is... my drain is out and the Doctor said he was impressed with the healing. No pathology report back yet. The cyst or tumor was stuck to the eyebrow nerve. But he tested the nerve after removal and said it was good and will come back. Because it was stuck to the nerve and my history they are running extra tests. He checks for the reports multiple times a day and will call the minute he gets it. So now we wait.
We got 1/2" rain last night and rain is moving into our area now. Tomorrow the chance of rain is all day. So I am waiting for Saturday to go outside and empty potting soil out of pots with no plants coming back, moving pots around and planting a few new things. Hope you can come join me soon!
May your Thursday day be ever so kind to you. Hope your having that second cup of coffee and or tea like I will shortly. Share your smile please for someone will be happy you did so and in return will share their smiles. Smiles Gloria
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com
Such a crazy afternoon for we are still getting off and on snow and a rainy mist. A nice Bear Creek Soup Mix day. Always like to have several on hand on this type of a day to make one feel warm and cozy. Spring are you still here? Hope you show up again one of these fine days. The tulips planted last fall are starting to come out of the ground. May you have a nice afternoon. Smiles Gloria
i really want to start my garden, but the weather here is so unpredictable...in fact we still might get some snow. i've started a few plants in the house...waiting patiently..lol
Hope your Tuesday day has been a happy one so far. We are truly having a snow day. The snowflakes are coming down ever so gentle.
This has been a great day to make up some Chili with oyster crackers. Yummy in the Tummy for sure as one sees the snow fall. I do believe I shall have another cup of coffee and continue to read another chapter in a book. My what a lovely day I am having and I hope you are also. Smiles Gloria
I fell asleep at 8:30 but it was a good thing because at 3:30 this morning we had thunder and lightning in the distance. We only got 2/10" of rain but the dogs were upset just enough that there was no more sleep.
The bluebonnets are in full bloom and I was lucky enough to get a video with a big bumblebee and a smaller bee both pollinating a bluebonnet.
Things that survived the freeze are all starting to show signs of green coming out. Then there are a few like the iris above that if you miss a day looking around the yard it will be gone the next day. We do have a bit of sunshine today again but more storms are expected tonight. Now it is time for me to treat the wound with essential oils and rest up so the nerves will regenerate. Share your smile with everyone you meet.
A glorious Monday to you. At the moment I am enjoying a cup of coffee with some dark chcolate almond creamer from coffee mate to make the coffee ever so smooth . Silly me for I am looking forward to seeing some snow coming down this afternoon along with rain. I so like seeing winter and spring mixing together as spring finally wins out. Even at my age it still tickles my inners and puts a smile on my face. I believe this is a nice day to find a puzzle to put together as I stay cozy warm in the home these next few days until winter and spring settle down. May you have a pleasant week. Smiles Gloria

You know I'm OK with Monday, but I did think this was cute. Already got Apple support to fix my iCloud storage this morning; finished my scriptures and ready to go out and watch for my hummingbirds. Sat in the sun for a while yesterday since we are to have clouds for the next week or 10 days with slim chances of rain.
I even got my first video of my Ruby Throated Hummingbird yesterday. Hubby moved some of the larger plants that require a dolly to move them for me and I watered everything since rain is a scattered chance at best.
So I'm off to watch for birds and enjoy the day. Not happy about waiting a week, a month, or longer (year) for the nerves in the face, eyebrow, and eyelid to rejuvenate. My ear is still totally numb and part of my face and I'm sure part of my neck. But hey, no pain. Praise God. Thanks again for stopping by as it really does put a smile on my face.
Everything went so smoothly! The experience was better than we could have ever expected as far as surgery goes. In recovery, the girl said, "You are the most alert person I've ever had." Every worker at Baylor Hospital was happy and caring! Some have been there 40 years. We got home earlier than expected and so traffic wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. I am doing VERY good. Haven't needed pain meds (2 tylenol yesterday evening). I do have a lot of numb areas on my face, eyebrow, and ear area as they removed a cyst or tumor on the salivary gland. So I have stitches under my ear and down the neck area. The doctor will remove the drain tube behind my ear on Thursday. But I really do feel good except for where the drain tube is and it doesn't really hurt, just a nuisance.
and for the prayers and comments. I am headed back to my chair, dogs, and college baseball on TV.
My how this week has gone by .. May you have a nice Saturday enjoying the moments. Smiles Gloria
I've learned to be happy with what I have, and even if I lost it, I'd still be happy, because (see start of sentence.) ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com, 2019
May you have a wonderful Friday day treating yourself ever so kindly and sharing your smiles. April showers for most of the day so this will be a good day to relax and read a book while I enjoy having a cup of coffee and or tea. Smiles Gloria
