June
Journaling
1. Church. Looking after a little boy at
church again as his newborn brother is still in the ICU at Sick Kids Hospital.
Guest speaker in the evening, then refreshments after church. I made devilled
eggs and chocolate chip cookies as my contribution.
2. Took my mom to the cardiologist. Her
bloodwork and echocardiogram were fine, but her bp meds needed changing, and
she will have an angiogram to check out why she has been having chest pain.
3. Today my husband is 27 years cancer
free! An anniversary work marking every year. Not everyone has a happy cancer
story.
4. Prayer meeting.
5. Bible study, then endocrinologist
appointment. She decreased my thyroid medicine again because I’ve been having
heart fluttering and body aches.
6. Took my mom to two other
appointments. A plumber was supposed to come to assess the problem downstairs
but they never showed up.
7. Today was a one-day women’s retreat
at church. It was awesome. Baking for tomorrow.
8. Church.
9. Dinner and mentoring.
10. Cooking for Wednesday at church.
Housekeeper is here today. I sure do appreciate her. Just preparing the house
for her is too much for me. VBS meeting online.
11. We are having a Father’s Day dinner
and prayer for fathers, like we did on Mother’s Day. I’m bringing enough
macaroni and cheese and Caesar salad for 70 people.
12. Bible study is taking a break for
the summer, so today was a party.
13. Going to H-town to help out. I made
salmon, rice, green beans, and salad for dinner, with butter tarts for dessert.
I have a cold.
14. My next word search book is ready
for uploading. Also I saw that my memoir guided journal, The Legacy Project,
sold 50 copies in one day!
15. I stayed home from church this
morning because of my cold, but watched online. Made a light green snake and a
turtle keychain.
16. Going to a visitation for a friend
who died suddenly in his sleep. He was a 67 year old accountant /pastor.
17. Went to two appointments with my mom
today. She can hardly walk a few minutes in the mall.
18. Prayer meeting. Made a koala and
corn on the cob.
19. Made a shawl. Went to my doctor to
get a shingles shot and forms filled out to apply for a medication. Then out to
dinner downtown and to The Lion King; a gift from our amigos for my husband’s
birthday.
20. Took my mom to get her driver’s
licence renewed. She only drives two blocks max to the grocery store, otherwise
I drive her everywhere. My newest book arrived; a Senior Living word search.
I’m pleased with how this one is formatted, unlike my military word search,
which needs to be redone.
21. Went to church for a Plan to Protect
seminar and VBS meeting and pizza lunch. Steak and Caesar salad for dinner.
Made an octopus with multi-coloured tentacles. No A.C. during heatwave. It won't be fixed till July 4th.
22. Church. No power, so we sang from
hymnals.
23. My mom had an angiogram today;
hopefully this will help with her chest pain, bp, and shortness of breath. She
didn’t need any new stents.
24. I went down to TBS to sit in on a
free class by a world class scholar. It’s on Biblical Theology, which I love.
25. My mom has another doctor’s
appointment today.
26. Back to TBS again, this time with my
friend.
27. Pain clinic injections. My doctor is
on leave, possibly permanently.
28. A phone appointment with my mom’s
doctor, then took her grocery shopping.
29. Church.
30. Helping out in H-town. Made burgers
and corn on the cob for dinner. Also a strawberry shortcake for Canada Day. Made a big orange cat.
