Clematis in Bloom
I seem to go in spurts with blogging anymore.
One day I'm all gung ho to start posting more regularly and then the weeks slip by with nothing much happening. At least nothing that seems worthy of turning into a blog post. Yet, I miss my connection to this place I have been spending so much time in for the past 15 years or so. Sometimes I'm shocked to realize how many years have gone by since the blog craze was in it's heyday.
Although most of the regular bloggers from that time seem to have
moved on, I am so glad there are still so many of you out there who continue on.

Azaleas brightening the landscape
The last couple weeks have been spent taking care of annual doctor's appointments. The routine lab work has been less than routine. After three unsuccessful attempts at drawing my blood, I was given another appointment for the following week. At that appointment blood was taken from each hand. The technician felt it would be adequate. Apparently it wasn't. I went back for another try this week and was told they didn't have orders from the doctor and sent me home. Some type of mix up on the doctor's office end. They asked me if I could come back tomorrow. The answer was no.
This simple (?) lab work is taking a toll. I need a break and, besides, I have more important things to do tomorrow.
This pile of birthday gifts arrived in the mail yesterday.
I've been using all my willpower to not open them until tomorrow.
I did open a few birthday cards this morning.
When you receive cards and gifts ahead of the holiday, do you open them upon arrival or wait for the big day?
Next week I will be back to the lab hoping for a successful visit.
Next up, eye doctor, dentist and mammogram.
I think somewhere along the line it seemed like a good idea to make all these appointments around my birthday. I'm beginning to re-think that wisdom.
