Hi girlfriends...gloomy day here in Kansas today. My morning was filled with sunshine though as my DD1 came over with Scott and Allison. Loved it!! Made my day!! She helped me with stripping my bed, starting laundry, grocery shopping and putting it away, and taking the trash out. They'll be back later so she can make up my bed again as she also washed the mattress pad for me.

We sure had a bad storm here throughout the night, but not bad enough to do damage. There's just small branches from trees here and there, but not too many. Now I'm ready for the sun to come out again.

My big thing today is taking a shower all by myself. Yes, I'm a big girl now, I can take my own shower..LOL!! I have no more PT, OT, or bath aid coming anymore; so I'm on my own. It's a bit scary, but I'll take my time and do okay with it. My phone will be within reach too in case I should slip and fall. I'll wait awhile longer, it's time for lunch first. Food first ya know..LOL!!

That's it for my day except for writing out bills that I've been talking about doing for a couple of days now. Today's the day, if I don't write them out today, I'll be in big trouble!! Not one of my favorite chores!!

Hope your day's going well so far. Enjoy the rest of your day everyone. I'll be back a little later to check in on you.

~~~Hugs, Susie

Hugs,

Sorry Susiebug, I took your sun. It's getting a bit warm for me, though; already it is 68º and that's about as high as I like.

Maybe you should wait until your daughter returns to take the shower. I wouldn't want you falling and not be able to get to the phone even if it is close.

It seems you are getting closer and closer to dancing with the Wiggles. Kathey

Susie- remember you promised to be extra careful. Can someone come in while you take bath? As I recall, the turtle won the race. He took it slow and careful.

It was a strange day here, too, Susie. First it was sunny, then cloudy, then light sprinkles. And it was cool all day ... never warmed up. The roofers said it was perfect weather for their job. Good! Maybe they won't be here much longer.

A shower might not seem like great progress to some people but it sounds like great progress to me! Take care and please don't take a spill! I remember last spring when I had similar concerns. I want you in one piece in September. ;-)

Have a good night.
