spring has arrived

i just wish the warmer temps would. it sounds like it's going to be nicer next week. we're both sick with a cold. i'm a few days ahead of Bruce. i started feeling lousy wednesday all day, he started yesterday. i know we share but we certainly didn't mean to share this! i can't wait to be out in the yard and doing things. i keep looking at everything that needs to be done and this winter has sure messed with the perennials and such. i hope everything makes it back. we've been watching the tournament on the tv and watched UNI lose last night. i figured they were the only team from Iowa to make it to the dance so i'd root for them. Iowa fired their coach and is now searching for a new one. there were rumors that the coach from UNi would be taking the position but he's been busy coaching the kids to the sweet 16. next sunday is Easter. we're having easter dinner at andrew and rita's. i'm making a relish tray and a fruit bowl and a couple desserts. haven't figured out yet what desserts i was making but i'll figure it out this week. mom is having surgery the 14th of april. she had a pap smear come back abnormal and the doctor wants to do some surgery. i take her monday for both doctor appointments. i told her to have a back up plan just in case i still feel ick. i've started on some new meds, my thyroid level was down when i went for my check up last month so started on synthroid which is the hormone your thyroid makes. plus have been having some anxiety and the dr. put me on something for that. still take the sleeping pill to sleep, have problems sleeping and have had for about 6 months. but i'm doing ok, when i get over this cold, i'll start back on the treadmill and swimming. i have finished my swim lessons and haven't built up the stamina to make it all the way across the pool, it takes me starting and stopping about 4 times to make it. but bruce told me last sunday he looked for me in the other lane and couldn't find me then he looked over and there was this girl doing the most beautiful stroke and it was me. that made me feel good. bruce is doing good. he's been busy at work. he's sleeping now. i usually let him rest alot on weekends. the bike shop called and he talked with them I think. he was pretty incoherent when i asked him what did they want. ha! we went to our water aerobics class last tuesday. he says he's training for a triatholon. he went to the track wednesday night and walked 1.5 miles and ran 1.5 miles. so he's exercising and getting more fit. well, i better go. please take care and God Bless, treasa
