MM Expo Day 1 Lessons = Five New Journal Pages

Hi Friends! Hope you are all doing well.  Happy Tea day!  I am celebrating tea day by drinking decaf coffee in my Cat Mum mug – my mug appears in three of the photos below.  I have had some dalliances with caffeine lately and discovered that it made my BP soar, so absolutely no caffeine for me any more!  I have enough problems without giving myself any more. Last weekend, [...]

I’m still having trouble with stairs and I still can’t drive my car.  I am waiting to hear back from the hospital as to what they want to do next.  Meanwhile, it’s business as usual here, albeit a little slower and with a limp.
