toasterOur new toaster, which not only works, but also presents the toast when it’s ready. 😉

Thunder! I love that sound.

Terri’s calming presence at my cardiologist appointment. So great to have a good friend — and another set of ears — with me when I’m trying to absorb so much information! Thank you, friend!

Dr. Iskos’ thorough and patient explanation of how things are, what’s next, and answers to my long list of questions.

All the green-green-greening! It’s definitely worth a few weeks of sniffle-sneezy-itching to see spring springing up! 😉

New essential oil blend (lavender, lemon, peppermint) to try out for allergies. Thanks, for the suggestion, Cina!

Early, early, early bedtime. 😀

Sweet visit with Katie and Cina last night when they came to make a delicious Monday dinner. ❤

Sweet visit with Sarah & Ida last night when they dropped off a delicious Tuesday dinner. 😉 Thank you for taking such good care of me, friends!

Two good heart appointments today… the device check showed no arrhythmia other than the incident on the 18th, so that’s good. I’ll find out about the echo on Thursday. From now on I can do my device checks remotely, too, so will only have to go in once a year instead of every 3 months. Cool!

The people at UMP Heart Fairview are really wonderful. It’s kind of funny to go there because everyone I work with talks about how young I am. Haha! Wait, does that mean I’m young at heart?!? 😛

The smell of the trees in flower right now. So delicate and sweet!

Doing errands with Dave this morning. I’m so lucky to have friends who are so much fun to be with and who are willing to be part of my chauffeur brigade until I’m able to drive again. 🙂

A lovely evening with wonderful people! So great to see you all!! ❤ ❤ ❤

All the sweet and funny comments you lovely people posted today. Thank you! I’m still in weepy mode, but my therapist assures me this is very common after a medical trauma and a good sign that I’m processing it, which is nice to know. It’s so unusual for me that it took me by surprise. 😉

Minneapolis’ new organics recycling program. We got our starter bags in the mail and should get our cart next week!

Mckenzie, who very sweetly walked me today so I could get some sunshine despite my anxiety. 🙂

Walking outside barefoot!

A nice little visit with Jeff when he drove me to my appointment today.

Wonderful, patient Amy at the heart clinic. She sat with me for over half an hour answering all my questions about what to expect, my heart, my meds, the PTSD. She is truly wonderful!!

First EMDR session since the heart saga started up again. I am so glad I have a good therapist and can do EMDR with her to help me get past the PTSD!

Flowers and sunshine in my yard! ❤ ❤ ❤
