Heard back from P.A. Coral that the recheck of my blood showed that my potassium level is normal. Good news - now I don't have to take a potassium supplement. I do know that I don't eat enough fresh fruit, so I am going to try to continue either eating a banana each day or drinking a glass of orange juice (without vodka or rum added).
I am on my second B12 patch. The normal dosage is one patch per week but my level was so low that for the first two weeks, Coral told me to use patches three times a week. I forgot to ask her how soon I should feel a difference in my energy level...I have no idea when I should perk up.
Regarding the scarf exchange, I am working on my first idea and it is progressing well. I have another pattern and yarn as backup, in case the first doesn't turn out to my satisfaction. I am having great fun choosing items for the goodie bag; since my recipient, Sue, owns a yarn store I am staying away from items that can be purchased in such a store and choosing more simply fun girly items.
I am also having fun looking at bedding. We FINALLY bought a bed for our guest room; anyone who slept on the air mattress we had in there will shout with glee at this news. No furniture, just the bed; we will either craft a headboard from fabric and batting, or James will make a headboard sometime. I am trying not to spend a fortune on the bedding, which is very easy to do, so I will go to Target and JC Penney tomorrow after tutoring.
That's about all the news from out here in Hooterville, Georgia...it can't always be exciting!

Happy Mudder's Day
Whenever Aidan says "mother", it comes out sounding like "mudder", so yesterday was Mudder's Day at our house! James and Aidan pulled out all the stops to make it a special day for me.
Aidan had told me that I was not allowed to get out of bed until he said so...silly me, I thought that meant I would stay in bed and SLEEP! But, no, he just wanted me to stay in bed until he could bring me his presents. Hee hee. He poked me awake at 7:10 am and presented two boxes that held lots of love, a pencil, and a book he wrote. How cute!
James made his special caramelized oatmeal with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Delicous. Then I received my cards and two charms from Lucy Ann - one says Aidan and the other says James. Yes, I suggested those charms to James months ago as a potential gift but nice that he remembered and purchased them for me!
The rest of the day was lazy. James took care of all meals - what a treat - and Aidan told me that I could knit all day, if I wanted to! I did not, but it was nice to have it offered.
It was a lovely Mudder's Day, thanks to my dear guys.
