Wednesday Reminder!

Wednesday Reminder!

Good morning! Here is your friendly reminder that it is Wednesday!! Trust me, this is the week that I really need a reminder of what day it is today!! I thought I would share just a few pics from my nature walk last night! It 

Is It Thursday???

Is It Thursday???

Good evening!

Somehow I missed a day some where within this week. Not that I am complaining, but when I found out that it was already Thursday, I almost WHOOT-WHOOT’ed!! I am so thankful that Friday is tomorrow, I am really looking forward to getting one day closer to my weekend!!!

My dad had his medical procedure today for the prostate cancer he has been dealing with, and people have been coming out of the woodwork to send our family their prayers and best wished, which I am just so thankful for! I haven’t heard how he is doing yet, but his wife has assured me that she will let me know as soon as they get back to the hotel. I hope it is soon, because I am waiting on pins and needles for some good news.

The sun has done it’s best to peek out through out the day, and although it is still pretty chilly it is started to look a little like Spring around here today. There are flowers starting to bloom, and my sweetie decided that he would barbecue this evening, which I TOTALLY LOVE!!! We are having some grilled steak tonight, and a HUGE spinach salad! YUM!!! Which is perfect because I have been dealing with some anemia, and I have got to really increase my iron intake, and I hate taking iron pills – they always make me nauseous!!

Talking about needing more iron in my diet, I am going to have to do some research tonight to find out which foods are high in iron. Maybe I will post my finds tomorrow for anyone else who may need more iron in their diets. I will keep you posted! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Did I tell you I have received a summons for jury duty??? I received it in the mail yesterday. I have never had jury duty before, which is pretty good seeing that I am 35. Anyone else have any jury duty stories!??

Anyway, I can see that this posting is getting a little long, so I am going to go wait for a call about my dad’s progress!! I will make sure to update you as soon as I hear anything!!!

 

Dad’s Procedure Update:
OK, I have just gotten a call from my sister, Alice, and my dad’s procedure went well. They inserted d 50 seeds into his scrotum with a needle – OUCH!!! (is that TMI???), which sounds like a lot but they could put in between 45 and100, so 50 is GREAT!! He got to hang out with his legs up in stirrups all afternoon – now he knows what our gyno visits are like. ๐Ÿ˜‰ His physician said he shouldn’t have to go back again unless his blood platelets don’t go back down to zero like they are supposed to. He can’t be around kids, or pregnant women for more than 15-20 minutes at any given time for the next 4 months because he is radioactive. Talk about being a party animal!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I am just so thankful that he is doing well, and I hope he is just able to get comfortable and get some rest!!

WE LOVE YOU, DADDY!!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Note to Chunky Dunker’s Club: Make sure when choosing foods to eat, make sure to eat from every color of the rainbow. Cherries, carrots, blackberries, broccoli, asparagus, cabbage, various bell peppers, red potatoes, squash, all sorts of lettuces, etc. I think you get the idea, but the more varied the colors in your diet the more likely you are to be getting a better variety of your daily vitamins that you need to feel great!! Remember, YOU CAN DO IT!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I am sitting at the Salemโ€™s Saturday market on a gorgeous Saturday morning!! I can hear the soft music of someone playing a saxophone. Somewhere in the distance you can hear a jazz quartet starting play. It is beautifully haunting and at the same time
