Thursday, April 14th, 2022 COLONOSCOPY DAY and FRIDAY 4/15 (Good Friday) TGIFG

 The preparation routine that Dr. Chubineh gave me was the WORST EVER.  In the past, I am pretty sure I started the procedure earlier than four p.m.  This routine involved gas pills, Dulcolax, and MiraLAX.  I think I may have gotten a full hour of sleep (if I was lucky) due to running to the bathroom over and over again all night and having to start the last step of the prep. routine at four thirty a.m. this morning.  UGH

Anyways, the procedure went just fine.  I had an afternoon nap and rested the rest of the day.  I decided to use my large colorful purse/bag that I won at one of the CareNet banquets for the trip.  I found my charger for my old CoolPix camera.   However, it did charge that camera.  

I tried to check my flight status on the UNITED AIRLINES website, but it told me that I did not have any flights with them.  I called customer service and talked to a woman named Vivian who confirmed my flight easily.  I was really tired watching BULL which came on at ten p.m. and I think I drifted off to sleep a couple of times.  I slept well. 

FRIDAY:  I worked on packing all morning.  Betty called to see if I wanted to have supper with her at THE SHAMUS, and I agreed to meet her there at five p.m. I put the VENZA in the garage and then went to NorthWest Bank to get some cash for the trip and then took a book back to the library.  I am glad I tried out carrying my large Vera Bradley purse because I found out that it is just too big and bulky, so I changed to a smaller VB purse when I got home.  I eliminated a few small things.   

Supper at THE SHAMUS was very good.  We both had the broiled fish, rice pilaf and coleslaw.  We still had a little bit of extra time before the Good Friday service.  I needed a warmer jacket, so I went home.  While there, I called UNITED and signed in for my flight tomorrow, paid for my check in bag and upgraded my seat to a larger one with more leg room for the second part of the flight between Newark and Denver.  

The GOOD FRIDAY service was spectacular! 


I visited with Marlene a bit after the service.  When I got home, I went on the United Airlines website hoping to bring up my boarding passes but they are still not available, the site says I have no trips.  The woman I spoke to earlier today said if this happens, I will have to finish up at the airport.

SUNDAY, December 11th, 2022 CONNECT CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON

Image
 I got to the church around ten forty a.m.   I asked Lou to let me in to the office area and he did.  I picked up the boxes of cards, list of names and the printed Christmas carols and then I went down to the basement and looked for the "sugars" for the tea.  I found a few.  Then I located the case of bottles of water, but it was heavy, so I located Lou again and he carried it to the kitchen.   Once I got back to the kitchen, I looked for more "sugars" but couldn't find any, so I went to the COFFEE BAR, and they filled a bowl with different types for me.  I got the silverware ready.  I opened up the packaging that held the tablecloths captive (I have had difficulty opening them in the past) so that they would be ready to go.  David and Jan both came at the end of the service.  Jan located the floral displays for the tables, and we started to put the red tablecloths on the tables.  By this time, we had a lot of other helper...

Week of Sunday, March 17th through Saturday, March 23rd, 2023

 SUNDAY:  I decided to go to TOPS before going to church, hoping to get some IRISH SODA BREAD.  They had it (right inside the front door) so I got it, and a couple of other items. Church was excellent, the sermon was about HELL!!!   After church I took my groceries home and put the garbage out and changed into jeans before meeting up with Glenda, Elaine and Betty at LaPorts.  They all had corned beef and cabbage, but I had the turkey dinner.  I brought most of it home.  Pam called and wanted me to go to a musical event at a church, but I really wanted to spend the rest of the day at home.  I had a nap.  I scanned some of Peggy's NURSING HOME MINISTRY at Mt. View into her flickr account.  I found a movie: I ACCUSED, based on a true story.     MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment this morning.  I did some jobs around the house until it was time to go to the Y for my class.  It went very well. ...

Week Starting Sunday February 25th, 2024

 SUNDAY:  I started feeling kind of shaky and week during worship at church this morning.  So, I had to tell Marlene that I needed to go home after church instead of going to North Tonawanda with her.  Our plans had been to go to Joey's Place for lunch and then to the Riviera Theatre for the free organ concert by Camden Church.  I stopped at Mark's and got a slice of pizza to take home for my lunch.  It was not very good; I am sure it was left over from yesterday.  I found an episode of BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES on Hoopla and watched most of one episode until I started dozing off on the couch.  I spent the rest of the day resting at home, but I started working on planning for Thursday mornings FREEDOM GROUP, which I will be facilitating.   MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment and then went to the Y where I walked 15 minutes and then used the recumbent bike for five minutes. Then I returned a bottle of cranberry juice to Aldi and go...
