As I write ... Monday Afternoon
The weather.... If I'd written this yesterday afternoon, there would be ice everywhere. Today, it's sunny and growing warmer, so the ice is melting.
Right now I am... sharing a Snickers candy bar with my daughter. Thank you Amy!
Thinking... that I need to leave for errands soon.

On my reading pile...
Favorite blog post last week...
- The House Comes First by Mrs. Sharon White
- 49 Drafts, a New Blog Name, Prayer Requests, and Cappuccino! by Amy Lane
- Reading, Knitting, and Crocheting by Lilacs in Springtime
On the menu for this week... Once again, mealtimes will be at odd times. I wonder if this is how it will be for the remaining years of adult children at home?
Last week, my husband went to the store and bought canned soups, easy foods, salad and sandwich fixin's. I am going to "go with the flow" this week, also, since I'm still taking my radiation treatments. I have chicken leg quarters thawing in the fridge. They will most likely become a soup in a day or two. I also have ground chuck thawing. I'm thinking about meatloaf. It's an old-fashioned favorite.

- Do some things on my bucket list.
- Radiation daily
- Laundry - I didn't get it done last week.
- I finished garnet hat to leave at the chemo center. I am currently working on a yellow cotton hat. I hope to have at least three hats to donate when I go to treatment next week. I also hope to pick up some yarn that was donated to the center so that I can make another hat or two. It's a way for me to give, to practice my knitting skills, and be thrifty all at once. Believe it or not, when I finish this yellow hat, I will have only one skein of yarn left! I've knitted and crocheted through everything else! Imagine that! No yarn stash!
- I need to hem my husband's jeans which have been waiting for me for months. Blush!
- I have a few items in the mending pile.
- If I finish all of these things, I may cut out a simple skirt.
- Oh, I just remembered, I started an apron months ago before I was diagnosed. I'd forgotten about it. I think I may need to find it.
- I can always work on the little quilts for donation.
- I can always hand stitch my Emily's quilt.
- Tuesday - Knitting group at The Brew coffee shop
- Wednesday - Church
- Thursday - Lunch with my friend Sherry
- Friday - Homeschool co-op
- Saturday - bowling
Looking around the house... My motto has become, "I can only do what I can do." My daughters have helped me this past week. Most notably, the floors all got mopped! Yay!

- Peace of Jerusalem and Israel
- Wisdom, health, and protection for President Trump, Vice-President Pence, and their families.
- Healing for our country so that we may be ONE nation under God.
- Radiation will not harm my heart or lungs, and that I will be brave.
- Cancer will die the death in my body. My heart, brain, organs, spleen, and healthy cells will be protected. I will live and not die and declare the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 118:17

ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing my blog post here! : )

Constant Comment is one of my favorite tea flavors too! I found decaf Constant Comment tea and my little girl loves it as much as I do.
May you have a blessed week!!

ReplyDeleteHOw sweet of you to make hats to leave there for other women who are going through what you are too my friend. You will be proud of me...Jeff and I did something that was on our Bucket List this past weekend. I'll be doing a blog post on it mid week. ;)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading Mrs. White's blog posts too. She helps me to refocus on home and why it's important! It sounds like you are breezing right on through your radiation.... I hope so??? Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI also have a little teapot like this and brew in it Constant Comment tea. Frequently I add a bag of this tea when I am making iced tea and, yes, people always comment on it. God bless!
ReplyDeleteWhat no yard stash? quick are camels gathering? Is there a star in the east?
ReplyDeleteLove the quote :I can do only what I can" So true. Laura you are always in my prayers.

ReplyDeleteLove reading your posts! Am amazed at all that you do while having radiation treatments. May I humbly suggest that you look into the relation of sugar and cancer? I'm just concerned! Sugar feeds cancer. Linn
