Monday, 1/26/26, Had eye appt., need cataract surgery so they scheduled a diagnostic appt., Bill returned one my pillow, picked Peyton and Isaac up from school, today, I could go upstairs without hanging on to rail

 

Baby CJ did much better today.  Praise the Lord.  Prayers are being answered!

Brielle and Mason...two sweet kiddos.  Maddy sent me these.  They were sleeping when I got there.

Going to stay at Maddy’s while she goes up to see the baby.  The kids will be sleeping, but Winston, the dog will be company for me.

Bill and I both got up at 8:30.  I took my shower, then ate some yogurt with peaches and granola it it.  I made coffee for both Bill and I.  We read our Bibles and did our prayer/devotion books.  Maddy let me know that baby did much better last night.  I was so happy and thankful to hear that. 

I went to my eye appointment.  My eye doctor is so nice and does a great job.  I did find out my cataracts have gotten worse and it’s time for me to have surgery.  They set up an appt. for a diagnostic appt. where I will have the surgery. My glass frames I picked out will have to wait until after that.  I had drops put in, so they gave me plastic rolled sunglasses to wear on the way home.  We haven’t had much sunshine, so I didn’t have mine with me.  

Vikki started her 3 day fast today with her church.  She did good today and didn’t have any problems with her blood sugar, which she has to test more often during the fast.

She had a dentist appt. at the time the kids get out of school, so I picked them up.  She asked if I could pick them up and of course I said yes.  I went home and Bill was gone taking a my pillow to UPS to return it.  I walked on the treadmill and went one mile at 2.6 mph.  Yay!  My therapist told me the first day I went that if I could walk a mile I didn’t need therapy.  Wednesday is my last day and I will tell her.  Kimmy called me so I talked to her for a while.  She picked Eli up from school so I talked a little with him too.  My alarm went off, so I left to pick up the kids.  I took them packs of Blueberry BelVita crackers.  Isaac told me he really liked them  when he spent the night here.  They were happy when I gave them a pack.  I took them to Vikki’s dentist and she had just got in her car, so she met me in the driveway and the kids got in with her.  She told me she has to have a root canal.  Bummer!  I am praying for her.

I came home and texted with Maddy.  I am going there to stay with the kids at 7:45 tonight.  They will be sleeping, but she will be going up to the hospital to see the baby.  Bill got home and ate chili.  I wasn’t hungry yet so we both took short naps.  

Bill had to go to an Elder’s meeting at church in the evening.  I worked on my blog.  

I called Debbie Davis and talked to her for a while.  She is doing much better now after her knee surgery.  I left and went to Maddy’s after that.  She and Alex went up to see baby Chandler.  He’s still doing better!!!  Their dog played for a few minutes, then fell asleep on the couch until they got home.  Maddy had me text her when I got home to make sure I was home safe.  

This is Winston while I was there.  He sure sleeps good.
