Surprising news

I've had an order for blood work

since January (I hate fasting!)

and when I went to my doctor

Friday he ordered more.  Apparently

he ordered a thyroid test .  Perhaps

because my sister has Hashimoto's

disease which is an autoimmune 

disease you usually develop in your

50's.  She's had it since age 12!

Well, it turns out my Thyroid is

under active.  That could by why

I can't lose weight.  Or maybe it's

because I eat too much junk....I'm

sure it's the latter.  Anyway, they've

started me on medication.  I

have begun to ease into a plant-

based died (not vegan, but close)

and that , from studies, may resolve

some of these things like high 

cholesterol , which for now, the

medication seems to be controlling

nicely.  We'll see.  I'm not much

for vegetables, but I'm giving it

the old boy scout try.  I like

fruit, so that will help.

On to the card:

Isn't this cool?  I think it turned

out really nicely.  These are quilt

block designs in case you didn't

notice...which I'm sure those

who quilt (you know who you are)

surely did.

Robin left this morning, so wish her

a safe journey.  She is stopping in

Dayton, I think it is, to have breakfast

with a friend.  She met this guy on a

bird forum and he, Robin and Steve have

become fast friends. It's surprising

 the people you can meet on the internet.  

I once had a friendship with a lady

 in Great Britain.  We even spoke on 

the phone twice.  She has since died.  :(

Well, I must go get my license renewed

before next month and mow my weeds.

Happy Tuesday!
