We had an Easter sunrise service at one of our churches, but I didn't get to it. There was to be a "finger foods" breakfast afterward. Twelve young people who had finished their confirmation classes were confirmed and two were baptized. Three of the young people are now new members of the church I go to.
It was a busy day, because one of the members took pictures at our church for a new photo directory. Sis and I had our pictures taken together and then I had a separate one by myself.
After we got home, we had ham, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, macaroni salad, and cottage cheese-lime jello salad with pineapple in it for our Easter lunch.
The weather has been warm, but still extremely dry.
We were still tired from the long trip to Eagle Pass and back yesterday, so we just rested this afternoon.

Doctor visit
After I got off work yesterday afternoon, I went to see my doctor to get a referral to a specialist for cataract surgery. Going there is always an ordeal for me. They have an automatic blood pressure monitor that squeezes my arm so hard that I can hardly stand it, then restarts and does it again three or four times. I asked the nurse about it and she moved the band down to below my elbow, but it did the same thing. I wish she would just use the manual one like she used to.
Then I had to wait so long for the doctor to see me. I was the last patient for the day. He was very nice though and did arrange for the referral. He said my blood pressure is good and my cholesterol is low enough that I don’t need medication. I told him that since my blood pressure was good I couldn’t understand why the machine squeezed my arm so hard and kept restarting so many times. It has done that the last several times I have gone there and I just dread doctor visits for that reason.
The office is to send me a letter with information about a visit to the eye specialist and If I don’t hear from them by Saturday he told me to call back and ask for an update.
Sis had gone with me in case I didn’t get out before dark, so we stopped at Olive Garden restaurant on the way home. It is new to this side of town and in the same area there is a Red Lobster and a Longhorn Steak House. So we will try those one of these days too. Although I have heard of them often, I had never been to an Olive Garden restaurant before and I really enjoyed it. The food was delicious and the service was great. It is definitely a place I would like to go back to.
I had been up long hours and was very tired, so I went to bed shortly after we got home. We didn’t get the heavy rain or hail predicted, but it sounds very windy right now and it really cooled off during the night. When I got up around 4 a.m. the house was chilly and I turned the thermostat up a bit. I will need to wear a jacket to work this morning, but it is expected to get up to near 70 by this afternoon.

Safety Inspection & Windshield sticker -car
I went to Firestone this morning and got the safety inspection on my car. NOTE: Remember to NEVER go there again. They are very rude, every time, and take way too long.
When I got home, I put the new 2011 license registration sticker on. Both will be due again in March of 2012.
Sis and I went to Wendy's this morning and tried their new breakfasts. I had a ham pannini and iced caramel coffee; Sis had the artisian egg sandwich and regular coffee. We really enjoyed it.

Journey for a Day
I just read that the word journal came from the phrase "journey for a day".
My journey for today started with it being darker than the same time yesterday morning. Daylight Savings Time started this morning at 2 a.m. I waited until 7:45 a.m. to leave for church and it was just barely light.
The adult Sunday School teacher forgot to turn his clock forward last night and the class went on without him. It was almost over by the time he arrived.
We took up a special offering at church to help the people in Japan who are suffering the aftermath of the huge earthquake/tsunami.
When I got home, Sis had lunch ready. She had left her church a little early.
We had smoked sausage, red skinned potatoes and salad.
We talked to our brother and sister-in-law in Colorado this afternoon.
For supper we had macaroni and cheese.
So far that is my journey for today.

Update on Moo
Since we have been unable to get any additional information from Moo's former owner, Sis took her to our veterinarian this morning. He determined that she has not been spayed, is only about 4 years old, and weighs just over 8 pounds. He went ahead and gave her the needed yearly shots, including rabies.
Moo is a lovable cat and seems very happy and content to live in Sis's room.
