"Life isn't about how to survive the storm,
but how to dance in the rain."

SUNDAY


The month skids to a close - bumping the days out of the way as it jams things, events and deadlines out of existence and into oblivion. We have no time for a normal schedule. The world has once again changed.

There was a momentary hope that despite the odds - if we bought lotto tickets we would win - the percentage of win was 12% of the initial investment - not bad if it was a large investment - pretty low if it was our real investment - so we didn't win- this time - but someone not too far away won 1/4 mil. Not a bad deal for them. Congrats and good luck.

My best friend had hand surgery this past week after falling in a parking lot and having gravel embedded in her hand that needed removal. She of course. self-medicated, before actually seeking professional help- which may or may not have led to the infection and deeply painful hand. A lefty, she is complaining about how much she uses her right - which is now bandaged and healing. Thank God!

We got a pole for himself to use to get up - that goes from ceiling to floor. It looks like one used for dancing and I am tempted to try it for that. Oh well! To be a little younger and more agile!

The cool weekend has been a relief from the constant fan noise and AC running. Even himself was able to sleep.

He has tried to do some exercises using the thera-band and ball. Some days it helps= some days it just tires him out. There has not been a pattern yet to why or why not things work! He was using it this morning and now is resting - I have been up since 4:15 when he woke me - needed to change the bedding and him- take pills - got some juice and yogurt for him- and never fell back to sleep. It is now almost five hours later and I am tired now - need to nap- or make breakfast -

FarmTown has been my refuge lately. I have made it to the 31st level and received congrats from my nephew. Love the kids! It wasn't a goal - just a happening. I went to the marketplace and suddenly was being hired every time I was there - sometimes for a small that turned into a big job - always something- and always when he needed help getting up.

This week is the beginning of the State Fair - a parade to get kids into the school system and teachers to accept less under duress --

Last week before the official opening of school. Need to - there are those words that should be used sparingly - need to. What do I need to do? I would like to get my things from the old school and move them to the new school this week- especially if ti's going to remain cool- then I can put the carriers back into the car for groceries- that prevent them from rolling all over the floor.

Silly stuff - nothing big! I see the doc this week to see if my blood levels are good - we got cleaned up on Saturday. Bonnie had a brighter red for me- and himself was shorn short. Looks good- both things.

Have to see where the fear will lead this week. Union sent out a letter with proposed dates - a parade for teachers - and a meeting to vote about going in to work - God help us all!

May this be an enlightened week for all of us!

Thanks for caring!

Keep those prayers flowing- I'm anticiapting only miracles and explosive blessings!
