Another week, another doctor appointment. This was with my regular asthma doctor and he's pleased with how well I'm doing. In addition, since I had the lung surgery almost two years ago, my lung function has increased almost 10 percent. :) Better lung function, fewer asthma attacks and episodes, I'm a happy girl. It was overall a quiet but good week, maybe because I fell asleep on the couch every night. :P

Oy, this week was all over the place, a real mix of ups and downs, but at least the weather was good and I'm making progress in whittling down my ARC pile. Of course, I also added ARCS so, umm, the total hasn't really changed. :D

To all the mothers among my readers, happy Mother's Day! I hope it's filled with books and special times.

Tomorrow is the start of Children's Book Week and I'm participating. I have lots of giveaways for books ranging from preschool to YA and a review every day, Tuesday through Sunday. Tomorrow's review and giveaway is a cozy mystery for a tour then I dive into kids books. There's also a blog hop so be sure to stop back!

Lots and lots of rain and chilly temps; it felt very much like March for most of the week. I did some reading, worked on editing, and had more testing on my wrist. I'm also searching for a new job as I'll be leaving my current job in August, and it's scary. It's been 20+ years! Eep.

It was a quiet week on the blog but a busy week for me with editing. Still no physical therapy for me until I see the doctor. Happily, that happens Tuesday morning. The weather has been lovely most days, sunny, dry and low 70's; my kind of weather. :) Saturday it rained all day so I read and I edited, oh and snuggled with Goof.

ETA noon 4/27: I've double checked this post, my blog layout, and blog settings and only this post seems to have been affected by the wonky sidebars. I even did a test post. I have no explanation for what happened.

ETA 2 3:10PM 4/27: Oh hey, sidebars are back! Go home Blogger, you're drunk. :D But let me keep the sidebars!

Not a bad week last week except that my wrist is continuing to deteriorate. It's especially frustrating because my wrist had been doing so well. A new editing job came in, so I'll be busy with that for the next week or so. I did a small shelf purge and donated about a dozen or so books to the hospital when I went to visit a friend who had surgery. Today is Easter and I'm going to a different friend's house for dinner. I have to put the finishing touches on their basket first. :) Dinner was cancelled due to the hostess being sick.

To those of you celebrating today, Happy Easter, and for all of us in the Northern Hemisphere, Happy Spring Equinox in just a few days! And it was Passover at the beginning of last week so Happy Passover to all who celebrated! It's a busy time for holidays right now. :)

Someone on Twitter RTed this pic and it's so me that I had to share. Enjoy :)

I took some time off last week to go see my dad. He's sliding downhill but rallied while I was there and seemed happy to see me. He has Alzheimers, among other health problems, so his recognizing me is a big deal. The week ended with my birthday and I'm doing a giveaway to celebrate; be sure to enter.

I won't be around much this week. My father is not doing well and I'm heading down to see him and my stepmother for a few days. I'll try to catch up on commenting when I get back. In good news, my asthma flare is officially over after six long weeks. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

I was much less tired last week and also less busy. :) Our predicted snow was a bust, we didn't get anything. *happy dance* The snow we still have is slowly melting and some trees are blooming. :) My wrist and my asthma are both doing better and last night I got together with friends. It was a good week.

Apparently, I am getting old. :( The conference last weekend and the late nights and all the driving time left me wiped all week and I crashed early most nights during the week. I didn't even get much reading done! O_o Of course, the asthma flare is still lingering; it's now entered the sixth week. :( I see the doctor again on Tuesday, in between physical therapy and work.

Last week was better healthwise but I'm still not out of this flare; it's been a month this weekend,with at least 1-2 weeks to go. The stomach bug has been going around at work and I'm hoping that it passes me by. This weekend CarolKat and I are at a conference in New Jersey with Sherrilyn Kenyon and possibly Laura Kaye, as well as a bunch of others.

The asthma flare had me down and out for most of the week so it was a quiet week for me. Maybe this week will be better.
