I just loved this meme. If you own or have ever owned a cat you will understand. I love cats. If I did not own a sewing shop, I would have lots of cats.
It was a very long drive to the funeral and back. But the scenery was gorgeous. I understand why the Olympic peninsula has the best tree growth status in the US. The timber I saw was incredible. Just an absolutely beautiful drive.
It was a lovely funeral, and such a great family. The friend I took, was an aunt, or a great aunt to most of the people there and they were so happy to see her.
But it was hard on both of us. She is still morning her husband, and it was my first funeral since Joel passed. The cemetery was beautiful, and it was perfect weather. We could not have asked for better.
I did not feel at all well driving home. Terrible sinus pressure and a cough. Every time I coughed; I thought my head would explode. About three hours out I thought I was going to have to stop and get a hotel. But I took some Aleve and mustered through. Felt better yesterday, and today even a little better.
I got some good news from my new rheumatologist, that I met last Thursday morning before we left town. I really liked her. My cholesterol is outrageous, and they keep trying to put me on a statin. Well come to find out it is caused by my meds. Good to know! Also, she said I could start running again!!!!!!
Seven Years ago, my doctor wanted me to stop running because of my arthritis. I had been a runner all my life. I really, really miss it. So, I am going to start slowly and see what happens. Running was more of a mental thing for me, and I could really eat anything I wanted when I ran. Did someone say donut?
It was so nice to be able to come home to a clean shop with only one dress in it! In a little more than 2 weeks I will be at Sissies. I am very excited! But there is a lot to do to get ready to go. I need to get all the geraniums I want to winter over out of the ground and into the garage. The yard tools must be emptied of gas and stored. Toys and cushions put away and stored in the sheds.
Today I am just doing a few piles, I have a bride picking up this afternoon. But there is still plenty to do here, just not the extreme pressure which is so nice.
The neighbor just brought me some frost plums. I love them and have to be careful not to eat too many.
Off to work.
