Well, I'm still painting. Except for my sub par trim work, it looks very nice. I think I'm getting better as I go along. It's slow going, as I'm doing a wall a day. I get too achy and sore if I paint AND work outside, so I just do a little of both to keep up. The weather's been hot and we are in dire need of rain. I'm watering the stuff I planted every day. Irrigation twice a week isn't enough for the new plants. My tomato plants are getting big and already have suckers. So I should be seeing baby tomatoes before too long.
I postponed the Master Gardener class till the next time they offer it. I have company coming the next 2 months and the course is 3 full days a week for 3 weeks. No biggie. I need to spend my time writing and making money anyway.
A good friend and former co-worker from Philadelphia is visiting me for a few days next week. Lorie and I were long-distance teammates when I was working in my hometown. She's visiting a friend in Ft. Lauderdale, then will make her way to my place. I'm really looking forward to her visit - she's a hoot and we'll have a great time!
Later in the month, my friend Becky, my sister Van and I are spending a week in Vero Beach. Becky rented a house on the beach. WOO HOO, can't wait! Then in June, my nephew Jeff and his wife, Lili Rose, will spend a week here. LOTS of things to do this summer. Love it!
I finally made an appointment to see an orthopedic doctor the last week of May. I also see my medical oncologist and radiation oncologist that week. I get some relief from the hip and back pain when I use an analgesic rub, ibuprofen and sometimes heat. If I'm walking and keeping active it doesn't bother me as much. After I sit for a long time, it hurts. It's another good reason to keep moving and not sit on my butt too much!
Have a good weekend all!
