Gettin' Things Done At Home

I have been organizing my pictures. I looked through all my photo albums and scrap books (I have way too many) and now I have to put all my loose pictures in picture boxes. I'm not putting them in albums any more since they take up too much space. I bought picture boxes and have them labeled. This is going to take a day or two since I have lots of pictures. I know most people just have their pictures on their computers (and I do also) but I like to have hard copies of some of my pictures. I like looking at them and I think the kids will enjoy looking at them later in their lives. I have albums for each of the grandkids.

I've been at home the last couple of days, other than grocery shopping. It is nice to get some odds and ends taken care of around here. I made reservations to go to Seaside in a couple of weeks with Amy and Carolyn. We went there last year and had so much fun. We like to shop and they have the outlet mall there. Plus, I like the down town area of Seaside. They have really improved it. We always go out to eat and hope to go to a movie this time. We ran out of time last year when we were there. And, boy, are there a lot of good movies to see now. Did you watch the Academy Awards? The review in the Oregonian wasn't very good but I liked them. Haven't seen any of the movies but still liked looking at all the good looking people and the previews of the movies.

My primary doctor sent me an email over the weekend (can you believe he works on Saturday?!) and said that he wants me to start taking a B-12 vitamin because he thinks it might help my red blood cell count. I knew my white count and platelets were low but didn't know that my red blood cell count is also dropping. I have been a little more tired lately, which I absolutely hate. I am also having minor headaches, so hopefully, the B-12 vitamin will help. It is sure worth a try.

Tomorrow we are going to Newberg for Kyle's basketball party. It is going to be at Scott and Julie's house. We are anxious to see the kids. We will stay all night and then I will go to my support group meeting on Wednesday. Julie and I are going to meet Shauna and her friend, Paris, after class. They haven't met Julie and I haven't met Paris. So I am looking forward to that.

Denny is going skiing on Thursday and I haven't decided what I am going to do. .

Hope all of you have a great week. It's raining again. Darn.

Love to you all,

JO

Hi Jo,

I admire you for taking life and living it to the fullest! You are such a blessing to me and all those you come in contact with. Sounds like you are a very busy woman. Good for you for taking the time to put your pictures in boxes and sorthing them out. That is what I need to take time to do. Right now I am trying to get all of my medical dollars spent to get our taxes done. I take every Tuesday as MY day and a friend of mine and me go to the scrapbok store and scrap all day and go out to lunch in between. I look forward to it every week.
Better go, have a wonderful week.
Take care,
Carol Journey
