    I just about was down for the weekend. I was afraid that I was getting sick, but I feel fine today. I think that it must have been some type of allergy. I am so afraid of getting sick and not being able to care for Bill, or giving something to him. I'm staying prayed up on that! It was a beautiful day yesterday and would have been a great day for Bill to get out and go to church, but it was me that was about down.

    Today has been a day that I had several things to do, but had to hinge around a visit from the lab. They gave me a 9-3 window. That makes it hard. They came a little after noon and it only took about 5 minutes, so I ate a sandwich and headed to mom's. Bill wanted to get out of the house, so he went with me, but didn't want to get out of the car at the complex. It was 65 degrees and he just wanted to sit in the car and enjoy. I knew I wouldn't be too long, so that was good. I talked to mom and helped her change her socks (compression socks are hard for her), went to talk to PT about a schedule question, and to the nursing coordinator. It's amazing how a 5 minute conversation with a professional can yield a lot more that someone that isn't a professional can figure out. This is a new nursing coordinator and I hadn't really dealt with her, but she knows her business and I was really impressed with her.

    I'm glad you were able to get some questions answered! I'm a car-sitter too. When Wade goes into a store, I can't do that much walking anymore, so I sit in the car. We just enjoy spending the travel together.

    I have my MRI today, 4PM (eastern). It's on my spine, so I'm hoping they will go all the way to the end where my arthritis is, and possibly get at least part of both SI joints. Today the right SI is hurting and my leg is awful. I get a very sharp and bad pain in that crease between my leg and my tummy and sometimes it goes up into my abdomen. I hope that this MRI gives us a clue on what is happening, otherwise another MRI will need to be done lower. I wouldn't mind if it also got my knees!

    Hope you stay doing well, Connie! Hope everyone is fine as well. Love y'all.

    Yesterday was more ice, so a good stay at home and do nothing day.

    My 8 inch fire is basically out of memory. I keep having to pare it down and it is driving me nuts. I thought I would buy the new higher memory one during Christmas, but they didn't have a great deal on it. Then I thought that I would really like to just have a good Android tablet instead of a fire. I looked at a Samsung that would be easy to download from my phone. I purchased one and got a great price on it. I got it through WalMart. I was on Amazon after I ordered it, and noticed that all that were there were international and not US. I did some research and found out that they didn't make that tablet in a US version, so I double checked WalMart and in a hidden place, I found that it was an international edition. I wound up not even opening it when it came in and taking it back to WalMart. Then, Lenovo sent me an email (My big tablet is a Lenovo and I love it). Their small tablets with decent memory had been out of stock and they got them back in, had a decent price and two coupons, plus I had earnings from Lenovo. I got the tablet and a really nice folio for less than the Samsung or the Fire. The only downside is that when you order from Lenovo, it always takes a couple of weeks for it to arrive. Now I have something to look forward to. Should be an easy set-up since I already have a Lenovo.

    I had a Lenovo years ago, I think it was my first lap top, and I really liked it. I have an Acer now and I love it. It has been worry free. I occasionally have a glitch, but I think that has more to do with the AVG security I have on it than the computer. I have a VPN and I have it set for Dallas, so I can't look at local weather on here, it takes me to Dallas weather! I also use Brave and sometimes it won't let me into a site - other than those things I haven't had any trouble. Oh, when I had my Dell, I often ran into trouble because my drives weren't updated, so I got the Drive Downloader through AVG too and I think that's helped a bunch! I've thought about going with something other than a Fire too, they only last me two, maybe three years before they start getting glitchy. I just think something else would last longer. It may be more money initially, but over time I think it would be saving me. I have one Fire that I often get the message that I'm out of space, but I have no idea what it's talking about. I unload a book when I am done with it and I had just five or six games on it, and I took two of those off and it still didn't have room! I sent that one back to get a discount on my newest one. I wish the would take more than one old Fire back, I'd have five or six of them to send back for discounts! LOL! Now they ask you if it's usable before you send it back.

    Please continue to pray for my leg, the pain is migrating to the right side now and into my knee. I am getting more unstable as well. Thanks y'all. Love you
