HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER, DIANA
.
It's really a nice day out, still pretty chilly though. This is a "relaxing day" so far, so not much news. Used the Oreck vacuum that Bonnie brought over this morning and got the carpet vacuumed.

Our accountant is working on our taxes so Joe has been getting everything together for that for a few weeks. I'm glad he does it, and glad for the accountant too. He's been to coffee, the accountant's office and gotten a haircut today.

Ruth called and she has a dentist appt. here in Pinedale so she's going to come over in a while. She might have some lunch with us. I made some cream of asparagus soup because her tooth might hurt.

I am feeling so much better that it's almost unbelievable. Not just because of the good news either. I just feel better. Working on the sinus thing might be helping a lot by letting me sleep better - by breathing a lot better. Taking almost no prescribed pain pills, but Alleve is one of the things Dr. Kappenman has prescribed (for inflammation of the sinus ducts) so that's probably taking care of arthritis pain.

I called Oncology this morning and told them we hadn't talked about my protime (Coumadin) tests last Monday, so they said to get one at the Pinedale clinic this week, and if the result was still 2 to 3 that I wouldn't have to take that again for a month; they have been every week. So I'll probably go there later this afternoon.



Really REALLY Old Painting
Photo was not taken in good light so a lot
of the details, especially in the trees, are lost.
Betty has given this painting a good home.

It's the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, born on this day in Hodgenville, Kentucky (1809). He was born in a log cabin, he had barely one year of traditional schooling, he was 6'4" and his pants were always too short, and he ended up as the 16th president of the United States. I've heard he's being called the greatest president we've ever had. He was in my opinion especially considering the times and culture he had to deal with. "They"also say some bad things about him.
