Back Again

I took a break yesterday from my blog. I didn't post one, as I've decided to back off some from my daily blogging.

Had an appointment with my radiation doctor today. All is well - this was just a check up to see how I'm doing. The radiation burn left a tanned area behind, which should continue to fade over time. I'm also supposed to take vitamin E and another prescription drug to help with the softening of the skin and underlying scar tissue. He said I should be taking those for a year post radiation.

While in town, I made a few stops and did some shopping at Kohl's. I found several things I can use this summer and for our trip to the Cape next week. There was a big sale going on, and some clearance clothing that I poured over. Found some nice things. I really dislike clothes shopping - for one thing, trying stuff on. As a result, I don't clothes shop very often. Also, I have to go on my own. I know that a lot of women like to shop together, but for clothing, I want to go by myself. I've lost some weight, so clothes are looking better on me now than before.

I also picked up some note cards and photo paper. I'm going to print out copies of some of my watercolors to mat and mount on blank cards to sell on Sunday at my vendor table at the Red Hat event. I planned to do some of it tonight, but had to leave it in frustration. The scanner we have has an attitude, and every so often insists the software needs to be loaded. It's already loaded, and the proof is that it does scan - sometimes. Earlier I scanned a picture and had it on my computer, testing it out in various sizes. Now I can't locate the picture in my computer under the HP gallery. It's very strange. There's definitely something going on with the software that's really frustrating. The thing is, I've worked with the scanner and the gallery quite a bit, and now I'm unable to get anything to work. Naturally, since I need the computer's cooperation to get these cards printed.
