In December, bought a table of hats at auction. Paid $5.00 and woman bought on off me for a $1.00 that day. So have $4.00 investment.
Think there were about 24 Vintage hats and a set of matching silk purse and gloves.
Today I mailed off an Ebay order, and my total made from these is now $105.42. I have one lot of 3 hats left to sell. I sold them individually, lots of 2, 3, 4, and 5. This is what makes me love doing Ebay. I have sold Vintage hats along the way when I can find them, but I do not come across them often.
Time for a Happy Dance!
Friday April is here. The past few weeks had a lot of 70's weather. So Spring is about to burst onto the scene.
White fighters are still not coming up to normal. Saw Oncologist Monday, and since all other signs of LGL are not showing, am continuing on Methotrexate until I see him again in May. So it will be up or back on stronger immune suppressants. Ca Sa Ra.
I cannot get motivated to exercise. Am holding the weight I lost. But need to get another 10 pounds off. Soooo, better get to moving around more .
March 11 I stopped taking Ambien. Was messing with balance and alertness in mornings. Have had some sleepless nights, but can really tell the difference in being more clear headed mornings. Will hit 3 weeks off Friday. I may have to take one now and then. Will see.
Sooo excited that the new Season is upon us. I love Spring and summer.
Since I have dental work in April and went off my Methotrexate for awhile the little devils. Dr. Stephenson decided after my bone morrow test we could wait and see if the higher dose would bring me back up. Got up to 18, now is bouncing at 13 and 12 every 4 weeks. Needs to be 36-70. When I go see him the end of March I expect he will want to put me on a higher power of immune suppressants. Need to get it back up to normal, the go back to RA meds and see if it keeps it up like it was.
Minor blip on the radar, but need to get them back up.
Springs coming so need to feel good.
Monday, 7th, I will again attend the funeral of a friend I have been in club with for over 60 years. She has been fighting cancer and lost . We had a group of 13. We lost Alice to Alzheimers, and in the nursing home. Mary Lou passed away about 3 years or so ago. Nelda in January, and now Martha.
We have made some good memories over the years. Is sad to lose friends.
Tomorrow I will attend the funeral of a lady I went to club with from the 60's til her health failed and she could no longer go.
Today I went to visit a friend who lost her husband a few weeks ago. Her son has been battling cancer and lost. He is now terminal and she is taking care of him. She also has a mother who has been in hospital who is in upper 90's. She is in Nursing home now getting therapy so she can get back home. I cannot imagine how my friend is dealing with caring for her son and worrying about her Mom. She has not even had time to grieve for her husband yet.
This will not end up being a good winter.
God comfort and be with them all.
Today I attended the funeral of a good friends husband . She is a member of a club I have been in for over 50 years. We began by losing spouses. We have also lost 2 members in the past few years.
I guess when you have been together as long as we have, loss of members or their spouses is bound to happen.
Randy's services will be Saturday, and it is going to be very hard. He has been part of our family so long that he is like one of our own children. He and our granddaughter, Jessica have always been close.
The hurt is double...losing Randy, and Jessica's pain from losing him. It is hard when you cannot make things better for someone. You just have to let their grief run its course. And pray that she get some healing as time goes on.
God be with us and help us through that day.
We lost Randy this morning around 6:30 a.m. He has been in Hospice over 2 weeks. Jessica has only left a couple times for a short period and Jackie was there. Both have been there most of the time. Many of his family and friends got to visit him while he was still alert.
Jessica and her Dad were very close. Will take her a long time to do some healing. When she is able to begin some semblance of her normal life back where she can work and be with her friends it will comfort her. And she can begin to come back, not as before as the loss will always be there. But she is strong and she will be ok.
GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
