Come On Spring!

One of my favorite quotes:

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter if you're a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

~ Herb Caen

A new day, emoticon it rained last night and the air smells so good this morning. Even smell new.. Moving forward. Headed to exercise bike. I have decided to work on my own books. A few years ago I set down and wrote six children books. Still needing the art before I can put them out. Well now that I am learning photoshop, I am starting the art for the books today.
Have a Wonderful Sparking Day! emoticon

Hey Sweet Pea, been to long since we checked in. I'm sitting in bed-it's 8:30am, still, about to get off my rear and go and water my gardens, it's been in the 90s here for the past two days, and two more days of it to go.
Beautiful breezes and really nice until afternoon, when you really don't want to be out in it. My allergies are finally kicking in, I can just about mark the date on the calendar when they will start. I did begin taking Allegra last week in anticipation-it's that icky?- and joy of all, they are here now with all the sneezing, runny eyes and general, low feeling that the season brings.

Work is work, I keep thinking I need to find a job that pays more-I've been here two years, and they seem to find me indispinsible, but non-profits being what they are... I'm still planning to have my right shoulder done this summer, waiting for my HMO to grant me a second opinion with another surgeon before I decide who and where will get the pleasure of giving me a new shoulder, or if I will go with a modified new shoulder. So many options, so little choice...

How are you and the units? Is everyone behaving and hanging in there?
We are all ok here. Glad it is spring! emoticon emoticon

Hi Christi!!

My new knee went in April 16th. Home on the 18th, first PT session today...It's ugly as sin but I'm walking on it, mostly with a walker..They say I'm really progressing fast. I'm not supposed to drive for another week but I may just sneak off in 3-4 days and get my furbaby home from the kennel down the street...Can't wait to see what that bill will be....

Hope you and the Units are doing okay. Take care...

Joan :)

Hi Christi,
Thanks for the birthday goodie!
Yes, I am having a nice birthday. Having a great day so far!
One of my older sons took me to buy some plants for the yard and garden, Have just finished putting them in. Hoping they all take so I don't have to get more.
One of my other sons called me from France where he is attending school
at the French campus of his school. Nice surprise

Thanks again for remembering my birthday!

Love,
Sue emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon
