Oh man peoples, I am exhausted. I finished working for my
old company last Friday, so this week I’ve gone into the office every day and I’m
out of practice (I have to get up 1 ½ to 2 hours earlier). I won’t put myself
to bed at a reasonable hour. I need someone to come by each evening & brush
my teeth, wash my face, and pick me up & put me into my bed. Dr. M is
apparently not interested in this unpaid position. I can’t imagine why not.
Anyway, in addition to being exhausted, the tooth that I thought would derail
my surgery in August has flared up again. I have a root canal scheduled for
tomorrow. Yay?
OK, enough whining – let’s get onto the pictures before it’s
time to post a whole new week’s worth.

Sunday selfie – my Aunt M the former Marine. She’s part of
the quilting ministry at her church – and she just recently turned 80. She’s
pretty amazing.
Dr. M had a fashionably dressed visitor while I was at
church – Indigo Bunting!
Monday,
April 23rd
Dr. M decided that my Opus collection needed some work.
We had so much rain last week – doesn’t Papa Cardinal look
miserable? (This might be my favorite picture of the week)

Blanket update. This is my third
colorway.
Rain rain rain… Heather the
sheep is glad she’s still wearing her lovely bubble wrap wrap.
Wednesday,
April 25th
The company I work for builds high-end furniture. Here are a
couple of recent pieces.

Got new earrings. I just love
the work my friend Becci does with her Feryl
Designs.
Another blanket – my fourth
colorway. Now I’m onto square #8 – if I can stay awake that is…
Friday,
April 27th
Azaleas & cardinals – that’s what’s
going on around here these days. Oh, and I finally mowed!
Saturday,
April 28th
I went shopping this afternoon & saw this on the ground.
As I said on Facebook – what I bought didn’t cost an arm and a leg, but I’m
glad I had backup just in case!
Another day, another Opus.
It was Sue’s birthday on Friday, so we went over to
celebrate with her & Daddy. Daddy, Sue, & I walked out to let my brother’s
dogs out for a bit. I love the golf hole my dad has created.
While we were meandering around, Dr. M took pictures of my
dad’s irises. His caption: “I’m too sexy for your yard...too sexy for your
yard...I’m too sexy!”
I’m too sleepy to be coherent (I dread reading this post
tomorrow). Instead of me asking you a question, feel free to point out where I
may have gone awry up there. Ha!
...doesn’t Papa Cardinal look miserable?
ReplyDeletePlaced in a similar frame of mind. my thoughts drift to a tropical beach resort, tacos, and tequila.
Yep - although I'd replace the tequila with lemonade :)
DeleteYour irises are beautiful. Mine are blooming too. That blue bird is so beautiful. Good luck with your root canal. I hate those.
ReplyDeleteThanks! No root canal - it's complicated. You'll hear all about it later!
DeleteThat indigo bunting is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? It almost doesn't look real!
DeleteLove the irises!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, you're down to just one job now and the situation with the new company is squared away as far as their financial situation is concerned.
Feel free to send some rain this way!
Yes - the new job is moving full steam ahead. It's exciting to be a part of it!
DeleteI am so jealous of your indigo bunting! And I have no idea where all of our cardinals went. It's our state bird, and they are nowhere all of a sudden. Hey...wait a minute...maybe they became Snowbirds, too, like so many other Ohio residents!
ReplyDeleteWell can you blame them? Your winter is Out of Control!
DeleteThat poor cardinal! I want to DO something for the poor thing. But I'm sure he's all dried out and happy by now. I have a pair that are stopping by for a little seed now. I've been hearing the twittering -- I think their babies may be getting ready to fledge. I haven't seen them, but they sure are loud. I think the nest is in a palm tree, which is weird -- but it's secure.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the work situation's stabilizing, although you have my full sympathy re: that early rise. I need to get myself in bed early tonight. I'm exhausted, too, for a whole variety of reasons which are actually pretty boring. Discipline, that's what we need!
Papa Cardinal looks like you feel, I guess. Hope the root canal went well.
