The sun was shining this morning so I did a load of wash. By the time I was across the street hanging it on the line, the overcast skies looked pretty dismal. I hung it all up anyway and the sun has been out again for most of the morning. Just another hour or so will do it.
I just took a batch of blueberry muffins out of the oven. The cookbook said each muffin was 195 calories, but then I noticed that the recipe was for 12 muffins. I used a large muffin tin which yields 6 large muffins, and the calorie count would be double! I don't worry about it now, but realize the day will come when I'll have to get back to a a few less calories a day. I don't think it will be difficult to do that and I'll feel a lot better when I eat a little less.
The next 2 days are predicted to be rainy and I won't complain, but the the warm sunny days in the 70's have been so wonderful.
My surgery is scheduled for 2 wks from today, and it can't get here soon enough. I'm starting to notice a few little pains here and there that are probably related to the hernia, although it's possible that my imagination is working overtime.
The mudslide in Washington is turning out to be horrific - there are now 176 persons unaccounted for. Between the mudslide and the still unsolved airplane disappearance the news is pretty grim.
Jeannie has arranged a visit to Straw Hat Pizza this Saturday evening. I will enjoy the meal and of course, the draft beer. I am in the mood for a couple of mugs of beer - on St. Pat's day I only drank two bottles of non-alcoholic beer. On the one hand I think about having a beer quite often, and on the other I simply don't want it.
I just ate one of the blueberry muffins and it was the best I've ever made. I'll be snacking on another one or two of them today, and probably have the remainder tomorrow.
I have the TV on and they keep running a commercial that says "If you are current on your mortgage payment, you deserve thanks." I have never heard of anything so stupid in my life - anyone who is current on their mortgage is only doing what is right. I'm not saying that a whole lot of people who are behind on their payments don't have a good reason, but "thanks" for paying on time? Ridiculous! I guess I should quit on that note - quit watching TV and quit blogging for today!

I set out a new hummingbird feeder a week ago and was wondering if the birds would ever come back. Two days ago a big one appeared and stayed for long enough that I could get a good look at him. I was thrilled and to celebrate I fixed myself...

I've been feeling pretty good lately, and my appetite is much better. Last night before I went to bed (about 11 pm) I decided on the spur of the moment I wanted a ham sandwich. Thought it might keep me from falling asleep, but it was delicious...
- Worn Out By Noon!
I started early (for me) this morning and got two pre-op tests out of the way, the chest xray and blood draw. The local clinic doesn't do EKG's so I will probably have to go downtown to my doctor's office for it. I bought another muffin...

I've spent the day resting after being awake off and on all night. Joe came by to visit me this morning, and Jeannie stopped by on her way to work. Mike called from New York. Mike is flying to California tomorrow, and I'm looking forward...
