Well this supper hour my dentist was sweet enough to take time out of his busy schedule to call me and talk at length about the process I'll be going through. He spent a great deal of his time helping me and making sure I understood what I need to do and it's one of the reasons I like the place and him. He'll be moving in June, so I will have to look for another one soon. I hope he does well wherever he goes. He's cute too and that doesn't hurt. I mean I"m too old for him, could be his grandmother probably, I just like cute guys, and plain guys, and all of em, I AM a girl afterall......it's probably cause he has those darn brown eyes!

Things are happening so fast! the stuff with my teeth, getting the utility room ready for the washer, starting the swimming program..I might have to learn to talk all over again, my jaw will be different now. For sure I won't look like a cow chewing it's cud when I eat! Amen!

I got some clothes washed today, copied a lot of papers from the family website for my genealogy project, and am almost finished with the pics my sister sent me. One thing I've found fascinating is the background in the pix, mom didn't just "pose" us girls for pictures, she was also taking pics of the home we lived in as children. It's obvious to me now as I scan photo after photo. There's oodles of pix of just interiors, of furniture, and us with walls behind us that show the family pictures and decorations we had. In one pic there's a wooden head carving of "Man O War", a race horse.

Well it's time for a shower and clean jammies and down time..had a busy day and I see no end in sight. :)

Well it's been "interesting" today to say the least. Our group has grown to 10 now. Used to be about 6, sometimes 7 if my child came along. Today there was only 3 or us. For various reasons. Yet the three of us have perhaps the most need to be there for each other.
One is not doing well in different areas, health for starters. The other one has a husband that had a stroke about two years ago now and it looks like he's not going to live much longer. It was quiet with so many absent, a peaceful gathering. We don't wish to leave out anyone out, yet want to have this kind of peace again.
One of them is extremely loud, obnoxious and is only there because she's one of the original group when it was led by a professional. This person is more than loud. Her best friend is following in her footsteps and trys to out talk her and I come home with a headache. As do the other two there today. I can't ask anyone of the three to disallow anyone as this was started only because of red tape keeping my child out back in 2000. So I have to put up with it, or not be there.

As for myself, it's been a wonderful week. Although I feel restless, feel like the hounds are at my heels. Spring is arriving, bit by bit, and I want to move on now. My knee is strong, I can't believe how strong, and except for my spine, I feel much younger physically.

Tomorrow I'll prepare my favourite meal, clean my home, try to watch a little television, and read. And say prayers. Many prayers for many people.

Monday I have a lecture to attend, followed by a cooking session and then home to rest. I have to schedule the Ryizotomies I need done, then can initate the swimming program. I start swimming on Tuesday, twice a week.
Once a month is how often I'll be reading to the children at the library, it's not much yet have to figure out how to change my whole life now. Next month we'll see how it's going with my teeth pulled, whether I can tackle a part-time job too.
So that's all now.

Hard to write today~much physical pain. Time for pills.
Will be shopping for washer this week, that will relieve a lot of stress, carrying baskets of
stinky pajamas to laundromat! back and forth, tote that barge, and lift that bale....

Miss my dog and his unconditional love. That will be my next goal. Perhaps in a year's time it will come to pass.
Need a car so I can get out of here.
Need a car for freedom, mobility, I wanna get out of this city....

Will ask the angels that be for help getting a car.
I've prayed for others daily, maybe now I can ask for me, and still have my conscience clear.

I'm going from a life of non-movement, total inactivity, to a life filled with work, scheduled
water exercise, and volunteering.
This week will find me at a local establishment, turning in an application for volunteer work, and this past week we went to the Crisis Nursery, met one of the workers and donated toys. It's time to step out of the mold we've been in and live again.

It was a different kind of day here, I took a nap, odd for me to. Now I'm awake when I need to be sleeping!

There's been alot in the news about eminent domain, and it just amazes me how those with power can "buy" someone out....I think perhaps I'll check into doing some volunteering so I can be involved in the political field a bit. It's foreign to me, yet I'm fascinated by happenings in our
country and the local government.

I asked for help with getting a washing machine and by gosh will be getting one. I was floored to get a yes by just asking. What does that say about the goodness of people?

I'm looking forward as always to spring and packing up the winter collection of the usual mufflers, coats, knit hats, and gloves and getting out the lightweight cotton shirts and shorts.

I feel like a butterfly emerging from it's cocoon, and have such an inner peace and happiness. I hope this contiunes, although I believe it's something I have to maintain by myself.
Such is life
