The Marbles are Rolling - Again

I've gotten quite a bit done today:

Laundry, Dishes, Dinner

I've done some writing today :

Blogging Circle of Friends, Take Up Your Cross, and new entry for Rach's Reading Club for May (that makes 2nd one) I have the two books already for June's entries as well; My first May entry for 23 in 11, for Writer's Cramp, did some reviews, helped a little with judging a contest, and 1000 words for newest Unstable(d) Writing Challenge. I also have Spiritual Challenge and Happiness Port to finish for today (will do these after this blog). Also got a start on Welcome to My Reality (May edition) I'm looking for Andre's antics for May as well. Whew!!! I also have my Anagram's May Edition up as well. May came in like a lion. LOL.

I have my kidney function test tomorrow. My daughter has the next couple of days off, so she is going with me. I am praying and asking God to help me, as I am a bit afraid. The doctor seems to think that my right kidney may be kaput. (I'll find out the results of it on May 10th) I am hoping that is not the case, and that God will work a miracle; but either way, I shall trust in Him. Other doctor news: due for a pap smear, a colonoscopy, and will get results of A1C, whether or not I need a CPAP. I'm scheduled for a mammogram on the 10th and a Nutritionist meeting on the 4th. I think that is busy enough!!

I've been doing quite a bit of "from scratch" cooking, and the kids seem to be ok with that. I made some biscuits and milk gravy, some chicken and dumplings and today I made some risotto and pasta salad along with some baked chicken thighs. Found a recipe for popovers, both with seasonings, and also with blueberries; I guess I will have to see about making these for the weekend coming up. Found some recipes for "baked donuts" - maybe that will be a little better than fried donuts.

My son starts an office job next Monday. My son and daughter are both going to school, and are doing well. I'm so very proud of them. Just got a picture from my dad who lives in Michigan...snow on May 1st! Come on, now!!!

I hope that this day is treating/has treated you well. I am always looking for pen pals, or email buddies; so if you like, you can do that, too.

Well, I think I've shaken up the Marbles enough for today. I just might name my muse "Marbles".
