it went well

Well the morning was a huge success.  I got to the store and found everything I needed to make the baskets.  It came to about $21 and change.  I got them each a medium sized basket that would hold a chocolate bunny, an M&M Easter Egg, and Reese’s Peanut butter Egg.  I also got that ridiculous grass. I brought them back to the house and got it ready.  I had to cut the grass in half and it made a mess.  I left the house around 9:20 and got to Liz and Nelson’s a short time later.

As I arrived I had to pick up one of the baskets from the floor.  It had fallen over at a traffic light.  I wanted it to look perfect.  The kids came to the car an each took one.  As we were approaching the house (Liz wanted us inside for a bit) they each thanked me on their own without prompting from grandma.  Nelson and Liz also gave them candy as well.  They were going to be picking Stephanie (their Mother up from the train station).  The kids got to play outside with the neighborhood boys. 

After the visit I picked up the meds and then headed home. Mom was up by then and was wondering what I was doing.  I explained to her that I have off and that I went to see the kids.

I called Jane today to invite her to dinner Sunday but she called me back and thanked me but that she would be going up to her brother’s house in Pembroke.  She is going up with Chris and Nancy (her other brother).

Mom wants me to do things around here.  She is out shopping for the Sunday dinner.  She would like my help too.

I got a call from the Arthritis andOsteoporosisCenterto inform me that Dr. V Martin is no longer with the practice.  My new doctor will be Dr. Janet Becker.  I have no idea the circumstance behind it all but I should be getting a letter soon.

I spent some time throwing out the pen pal stuff.  I decided not to record each individual like I did.  I need to move along with the piles anyway.  If there are pen pal files or emails then I will save them but the hard copies will be tossed.

My knee has been bothering me all day today. I have already taken the Tramadol, the plaquenil and I am not sure I want to take the Meloxicam just yet.  I will take the Tylenol of it persists.

Mom came home from shopping just before 3.  We rushed emptying the groceries and then went to the bank and to the service.  I don’t know what it is but every time Amazing Grace is played I start to get teary eyed.  I want to say its beautiful.

Mom’s ears seem to be clogging today and it makes it harder for her to hear even more than normal.  She was telling me about the menu for Sunday.  She is going to make the fresh ham, broccoli, creamed cauliflower, asparagus, and I suspect seafood for those of us (read: Diane) who don’t eat meat.  Rogier (http://www.facebook.com/#!/rogierdeboer) will be joining us it seems.  I can’t wait to see them.  He is so awesome to Diane and that makes me feel great.

Well I am going to go through the mound of papers and binders and get some headway of this.
