My Journey Notes:
Another post surgery week ahead with T. The surgical center has called 3 times to change arrival time for Monday over the last two days. That’s definitely a first! I’m really hoping his surgery goes as planned and we don’t have lots of extra visits to the surgeon’s office to deal with emergency issues this go round, though it may be a little harder to discern since this surgery deals with the eye that has very little sight. At least we’re thumbs up to go ahead with the surgery.

Grateful to the surgeon that provided a printed list of T’s eye meds, how many drops per day and which eye(s) they’re to go into. We’re talking 6 meds starting this morning and two meds are now at 4 times a day pre and post op. I would be lost without it.

S.M.I.L.E.

Snowblower handled the 6 inches of wet, heavy snow well.
It was definitely a winter wonderland yesterday and kids were out building snowmen yesterday afternoon.

My Journey Notes:
I got a start on March’s ministering cards yesterday. Spent a good portion of the afternoon coloring the stamped images rather than coloring one and scanning to reprint (a previous default for a few images). It’s a good exercise and a reminder that there is self-improvement in the repetitive process of coloring these images. Grateful for the classes I took a few years ago that helped me hone some skills while using colored pencils. The blending part is very relaxing and the results I’m having make me feel good. And it feels especially good to fill the day on a snowy day. Hoping to finish up the remaining images with color today before working on the remaining elements for the cards.
