Skyped with one of my girlfriends to plan her visit in a couple of weeks. Going to get to spend almost a week with her before she goes off to Mongolia for two years with the peace corps. So bittersweet.

Insurance is being fairly reasonable and I'm on the mend from the accident last week. It's looking like the weekend will be sunny. And I just started my first gardening experiment a few days ago and have tomatoes in starter pots that are already growing. And it's Friday!!!

My family has been with me since Tuesday helping me recover since outpatient foot surgery. My mom spent all day at the hospital waiting, waiting, waiting. My brother spent Tuesday and Wednesday night with me and my sister is now here to help through Sunday. All done with no complaining and this has taken a lot off of my mom, her not having to do the fetch this and that. Hopefully next week p, when my mom stays, it will be mostly as company and just to be sure I'm okay.

Tonight, several of my good friends are having a dinner party in my honor to celebrate the end of nine weeks of radiation treatment for prostate cancer.
I feel a little guilty because the treatments were very easy, fast, painless and problem free. But I am very glad that they are over. And glad to have such nice friends. And it turns out to be the birthday of the friend whose house is the location of the party. She is a champ. We will celebrate her birthday, too. It is a happy day! Oh, and Friday too...with a group ride tomorrow. And the weather looks great! |

I got a call from our local Harley dealer who offered to look at my 1962 Vbb She is up and running like a charm. After two years of collecting dust. Just as I suspected, bad oil/gas messed up the tank and carb. Looking forward to a spring ride, if spring ever actually comes. |

This week I built a raised-bed vegetable garden, installed a drip-watering system, and got it mostly planted. I have grown veggies and herbs before, but this is the first honest-to-goodness dedicated garden I have made. So far it looks great.
Happy. |

But we're still best buddies. ![]() |
