This goat was coming right at me as I was taking it's picture.  It just kept coming, so I backed way off.  We saw several that day.

This has been an interesting day.  Now I could end writing right now and you would always wonder what was interesting about my day.  After deep thought I decided that just wouldn't be nice, so, out of the kindness of my heart I will tell you,  (_./**\_./**\_./**\_) ; )  in my next blog.  I hear you, moaning and groaning, complaining, and saying that's just not right.   OK, OK   I will tell you.
We had plans to have our family over for Easter dinner but I needed to have my blood  count checked. So we went to the cancer center and the nurse drew some blood and we waited and waited and waited for the results.  Michelle, my nurse, called me back and put me in cubicle #7.  She said "you have no white blood cells. But, how could that be, I feel so great.  She said, "that happens sometimes".  Not even one little white blood cell, she said "nope, not even one.  She told me I had hit rock bottom, which is expected, however, I felt I was fine,  and thought I would have all of my white blood cells. However, good news I have all my platelets in place so I'm happy. She told me I had to have a series of shots to get the count up a little. And then she told me that the shots might give me flu/like symptoms and make my bones hurt. Then I was really excited to get those little shots. I wanted my count up but not my bones hurting.  I have never experienced my bones hurting. She ordered pain pills for me, then I was really nervouse. I had one shot today and then one each day until I have five. I hate pain pills, it's a pain just to take them.  So I will let you know if the second shot brings on these wonderful side effects, cause the first one didn't.


I CAN'T SEE
Many years ago, when my children were still small, we were returning from some errands, my youngest son, seated next to me.   At one point we were driving directly into the setting sun.  While it was beautiful, it's brightness made me squint. After a few seconds, my son cried, "The sun is in my eyes; I can't see."  Thinking of relieving his discomfort, I replied, "Well shut your eyes silly." This brought a momentary quiet, and I was smug in my adult superiority. At least until my son said, "Daddy, I shut my eyes, but I still can't see."
We often try to help others, but we must be careful that our efforts are directed at the problem, not the effect it causes.
