This Seems to be the Week to Mail-Order Medicines...

So far I've ordered Onglyza for me, and two different joint care supplements for Bel. That's not counting the heart-worm preventative for both Bel and Jethro which I will pick up from the vet at lunchtime today.

Mom fell on Monday; landed wrong against some furniture and broke a rib. She blames the malfunctioning artificial hip, which was supposed to be repaired back in March but got pushed back due to the COVID-19 thing because it was considered non-essential surgery. It was supposed to happen next week; now it looks to being postponed again for another month. This makes the 3rd time this month she's fallen because that leg is dragging. I worry because she's 90 and lives alone.  I was supposed to go out and stay with her next week after the surgery while she did rehab.  Now we don't know what's going to happen. Youngest sister in Texas is talking about driving north to stay for a couple of days as well ...

Been catching up on "Kyo Kara Maoh"  English manga scanlations --  wow, there's a lot that I don't remember from the anime! When we re-organized our anime shelves last winter, I discovered that I seem to be missing some episodes; I don't know whether they were lost/damaged during the move  10+ years ago, or if we never had them in the first place.  They were released back when anime was first becoming widely available in the U.S.; most anime series were released on DVDs that held 3, maybe 4 episodes, so a series that ran 26 episodes would be on 6 or 7 DvDs, each sold separately  -- so it was always tricky finding the entire series.  Later on, of course, the producers started selling combo packs and thin-paks.  When I had the money, I'd often replace my multiple DvDs, especially if it was a series I enjoyed and anticipated watching over and over.  I have incomplete sets of the first and second series of KKM, and have recently learned that both are now available again in combo packs, as well as series 3 and possibly 4? Alas, still on frugality measures, as most of the family stimulus check went to pay off half the property taxes this year.

The church has been holding Sunday worship in the parking lot the last two weeks; the forecast for this coming Sunday is 'scattered showers', so I'm not sure what the plan will be..... in the meantime I've worked ahead in anticipation of taking next week off to help Mom, so again -- not certain how things will work out.

Knitting: -- finished the 'leaf motif' shawl, including the borders and the beaded fringe. Haven't decided on my next project yet.
