| I wish my house looked like this. Thank you Vanessa and Kelly for the photo! |
There was a cartoon show in the late 90s called Animaniacs, produced by Steven Spielberg, which had a great cast, lots of singing, and very adult humor worked in. I loved it. If you know the show you are probably already singing “Pinky and the Brain” to yourself.
Yesterday I was entubed (my word) with a new, bonus item. Part of my usual brain scan involved
an extra six minutes of opening my eyes and staring at a "fixed spot" of my
choice on the surface in front of me: without blinking. The person who gave me this impossible task
rolled their eyes when delivering it.
Here is why: 1) my face is in a cocooned
white crate inside a very thin white tunnel. 2) That tunnel is so close to my
face that I can’t even focus on the tiny blue line that runs up the center without
it splitting widely in two, let alone on a single dot of it. 3) Obviously,
no one is going to stare for six minutes without blinking. I should probably take that back (challengers
sitting there with your eyes open...)
At my check-in with the doctors I met a new guy who liked testing me
(they all do). I thought I really rocked
the color cards test for a change, one of my worst categories these days. Turns out I got it half wrong. I can NOT be trusted!! Colors and names are about the worst for
me. I will say blue is yellow and orange
is pink like nobody’s business. Thank
goodness Mark isn’t colorblind so he can tell me the correct words when I need
them.
My scan showed no change again!
I am so thankful. We have been busy, busy beavers for the past few months. At this time and in this season it is
wonderful to let the worry drain out and enjoy all the blessings
that are around me. I have so, so many
and the people reading this are a huge part of that!
Love, -Kristina (&Mark)

| We have many trees and so many kinds of birds! This was a huge group of Mourning Doves all wanting to eat from the same tree that was dropping shells behind the house this week. I am the dorkiest birdwatcher you could want to meet, book and goggles at the ready. |
