Kentucky Derby, Guitars and Yoga

A derby without you, Mom.  The hats, the excitement, the predictions, looking the horses over, the hats

did I mention the hats? You absolutely adored the hats at the derby.  You enjoyed the hats more than the pre-race shindigs

There were some beautiful ones and some downright weird ones.

I've started an online class with Courserea, that group I took the Fantasy and Sci-Fi class from.  Guitar this time and I'm grateful I already have 2, one acoustic and one electric.  The class is really simple, just what I need. 

Yoga, guitar lessons, more attention to prayer, doing the crafts and writing - I might pull out of this yet, Ma.  I'm still bouncing back and forth between losing 2-3 lbs this week to staying steady.  This morning I hit 140, down from 160 since Thanksgiving. 

My doctor sent a bunch of vitamins, I'm malnourished.  Go figure, I haven't been eating much because of the stomach stuff.  She's sending a stronger med, thank HaShem.

I was surprised, I like the yoga stuff and I'm going to keep at it, doing more here at home and such.

Time

We think we figured it out. Mom did think she had a little more time. The doctor said she had probably a month, maybe two if she didn't have the chemo. We don't believe she knew she had days.  The speed surprised all of us, including her. We had a good visit with Chris but also a little difficult. There isn't a whole lot to do in our town in the winter after the holiday season.  We went to Stone Mountain yesterday and that was okay. Some of the things we wanted to see were closed. We're not sure when we'll see Chris again and we are extremely grateful he came up. He graduates from IT school in the Navy tomorrow and we're beyond proud of him.

Becoming Mom - part whatever

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
