Good morning. As I told Annicita last night, Lisa had fallen asleep upstairs, and after our call, I went up and brought her downstairs with me. Last night was the last time we will sleep in that bed until we get moved to Florida, and I wanted her to be there with me. She was all chattery for a few... Sign in to see full entry.

Update
It's been a good day. Lisa had a production physical therapy session despite coming home, cursing like a sailor. The girl doesn't like being pushed around! LOL. It made her mad because it hurt, but it was helpful. While she was gone, I had a chance to do some research on my next "BIG" writing... Sign in to see full entry.
Lisa is at therapy, so I began to do a little writing in my 'Caretaker' story. Here is a sample: You show me your friends, and I'll show you your future. Life is precious. Don't live in 'time.' Live in 'moments.' I've learned a lot of things the hard way. You don't need to do that. Just understand... Sign in to see full entry.

Nature does not bestow virtue; it is an art to become good... For the attainment of this boon, but not in the possession of it, were we born; and even in the best of men, before you refine them by instruction, there is but the stuff of virtue, not virtue itself. -- Seneca Sign in to see full entry.
Just For Laughs
I thought this was cute. I was in the store, and I saw a woman picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead." Sign in to see full entry.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong. - William J. H. Boetcker Sign in to see full entry.
I've been using the speech to text thing for last week or so because my eyes are getting tired from all the texts I've been sending out to my friends and relatives. I thought it would be nice to teach Lisa how to do it and try to help herself with her slur problem, and it seems to be helping. It... Sign in to see full entry.

Except for her bald head, Lisa seems to be Lisa as Lisa has ever been. Mouthy, sharp of wit and word, and demanding of more than her share of the bed - or normal. She still has a few deficits that will need time to heal, but she seems to be back to herself, and this guy is eternally grateful for... Sign in to see full entry.

Things continue to look better here. Lisa still has some lingering issues, but with time, we believe that they will subside. It has been wonderful to have her home again to harass and hold; ie, normal life again. As far as the move goes, I now have the title, papers, and keys to the house we bought....

Lisa had a good night of sleep last night, and seems to be returning to normal. The slight slur is still there, but it seems to be improving. It is 'nice' here at roughly 55 degrees, but we knew that this kind of weather is just another reminder of where we live. We've had some snow a week back, but... Sign in to see full entry.
