Because yesterday was Mother’s Day, I’d like to honor my late mother by sharing one of her favorite sayings: First Things First.
First Things First: I sometimes don’t know what first things are, but I do find it very helpful to prioritize.
First Things First: my first things this morning are blogging, checking my INR (which was surprisingly low on Friday), and leaving for my in-person day at the hospital.
First Things First: Here are my images for today.
.
First Things First: Because I’m on warfarin and have to watch my INR for the rest of my life, I can’t always eat what I want (even on Eat What You Want Day), but I could eat a Hostess Cupcake.
On National Women’s Check-up Day, I will be checking my INR momentarily, but first things first.
.
The last thing in this first-things-first blog post is my gratitude to YOU.

P.S. First things last: My INR was perfect.
i agree that it’s hard to always know what should come first, trust your instinct
First things first, beth: we agree.
First things first: toast and tea.
Uninspiring things my mother would say: “Get up, get up. There’s work to be done.”

Thanks for this inspiring comment, Barbara.
It’s not the first thing but if you were planning a trip to Lucerne I’d recommend seeing the Lion Monument. It was designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen whose sculptures also include a sympathetic one of Ganymede and Zeus as an eagle, and, my personal favorite, Mercury about to slay Argus.
But of course Joan comes first.
First, I do my best to follow your recommendations, Chris.
I’m happy to read your INR was surprisingly low and you could eat a hostess cupcake! Yummy! 🙂
Actually surprisingly low was not good it now it’s okay so I’ll celebrate today!
Oh! Good! Glad it is back in range again!
