Blink...and a week is gone!!!

I just fixed a cup of coffee, having just gotten out of the shower, and I knew I had to spend a bit of time here this morning no matter what. 

The day after Easter life got a bit crazy.  I was summoned for jury duty but was not that worried about being selected.  When I arrived and was given the number 13 I was even more confident that this would be a quick in and out half day for me.  Nope.  3 days later, having found a man guilty which will in fact send him to prison, I had completed my civic duty.  I am glad I did it but for future reference...if you get in trouble and have a choice between the judge deciding or it being a jury of your peers, think long and hard about just having the judge decide.  I know that is what I would do!!!!!

The week also started out with some information on my Mom.  It is no big surprise that she is not long for this world, but it is still upsetting to hear it or see in in writing.  Having received an update from my brother it has been decided that those that need to come see her should do so soon.  I have a sister coming in a couple weeks from now and 2 brothers visiting the week after.  It will be nice to see them though I wish it were for happier reasons.  I suspect that the gathering that will have all 7 of us together at the same time will most likely be for a certain someone's 50th b-day.  Wow...I remember when the oldest was about to turn 50 and now it will be the 2nd to last who does, in only a little over 2 years.  And then it will be me...ok, gotta change the direction of thought here!!!!!!

I did get a surprise call from my Mom on Sunday the 1st.  My birthday was yesterday and I think she wanted to be the first to tell me happy birthday and wanted to tell me she did not send a card.  I told her I would rather hear her voice on the phone then get a card.  We had not really spoken and I have not seen her since last year.  It is complicated.  I will see her next Sunday for Mother's Day and I am really glad she called me.

That is pretty much the sum of the last week.  I was working in the yard all day Sunday and an now sporting a rather impressive back of the neck sunburn.   My yard is looking nice in most areas and I even spoiled myself and bought a cute little bistro table and 2 chairs for my back deck.

I had my 2nd fill yesterday and so far I am not impressed.  If I do not feel restriction after the next fill on 5/16 I am going to make the next appt. with the other girl in the office that does them.  It might be time to shake things up a bit.
