PROBLEM SOLVED...BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL ANY BETTER

I phoned the school this morning and they're going to send me another copy of the book. Thank God!! I also managed to wrangle another extension, so now I'm not due to hand in the assignment until 9 August. YAY!!!!! It's raining here again. My oldest nephew graduates high school on Sunday...Still...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEEKO!!!!

Today my sweet little Meeko would have been twelve years old. I miss him so much!! In honour and celebration of his birthday, Roommie and I had donuts for breakfast. They were his favourite naughty food!! We also had chocolate almond coffee to celebrate the big day. Tomorrow it will be exactly four... Sign in to see full entry.

LOST...BUT NO DESPAIR

Well gang...it's official. The book I need has been recycled. For the second time. It wasn't Roommie's fault. I should have paid closer attention to what she was putting in the box of recycling and I didn't. I'm not going to blame her entirely because we're both to blame. Ah, well...Much as I hate...

CHRISTMAS AND CHANUKKAH SHOPPING...PLUS, ANOTHER CATASTROPHE

Hi gang, I hope you all had a very pleasant Sunday. It was gloomy outside again today...I almost went back to bed!! My back is once more refusing to relent, but at least it's at a dull roar at the moment. I had to place an online order today, so while I was at it, I decided to order my oldest...

WHAT A GORGEOUS DAY!!

Good afternoon, gang... Well, it's a warm one here today, just as the weather person predicted. Fortunately, it's not overly hot (yet) so my back is okay for the moment. I just pray we don't get the thunderstorms they've predicted as well!! I hate those things!!!! I did manage to sit through WAITING... Sign in to see full entry.

FELT BETTER FOR A LITTLE WHILE

Good evening gang... Well, another weekend has thrust itself upon us. I don't have any huge plans...My back just refuses to relent and give me any peace. So, I won't be moving about much tomorrow. I felt okay for most of today, and I actually took a short walk with Roommie. It was nice to finally be... Sign in to see full entry.

A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MAY EQUAL ONE BIG PLUNGE

I'm going through some very serious considerations at the moment. Most of which are both unpleasant and frightening. There is one though, that might make me feel a little better. In some ways, the idea scares me to death, but I don't know what else to do. I'm looking into fares to London. I'm not... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATHAN AARON!!!!

My gorgeous little adopted nephew is five years old today. It's so funny to realise we've not met one another yet. God willing, we might one day soon. I still have the email Mick sent me saying he was going to be a daddy. I was shocked, to say the least. I knew he always wanted children, but at the... Sign in to see full entry.

SADNESS....AGAIN

My poor back is finally getting the better of me. For the past three days in a row now, I've had to lie down late in the afternoon because sitting just hurts so damn much after a few hours. There's still more news about my brace fittings again, but I'm tired of sounding like a broken record to you... Sign in to see full entry.

THE AGONY OF MY FEET CONTINUES

Okay, so as I wrote in my earlier post, the brace fitting saga isn't quite finished. Pain in the arse though it is!! So, after my appointment I go to schedule another to come back and make sure the brace actually fits. The orthodist, Sandra, tells me they have to get authorisation from the state to...

ANOTHER MEMORIAL DAY COME AND GONE...THANK GOD

Well, I made it through another Memorial Day. We didn't do anything to celebrate, Roommie and I. Just as well though, since I actually dread this holiday. I did start thinking though...When I'm able to manage the art of crochet (or knitting, for that matter) I'd like to make some afghans or sweaters... Sign in to see full entry.

A LIFTING OF PRAYER

Happy Memorial Day, my friends... I hope you all had a fabulous holiday. I hope you all were safe and surrounded by friends and loved ones. For our men and women forced to be apart from their own loved ones this day, I offer a prayer. May God bless and grant them peace... Sign in to see full entry.

I'LL BE GLAD WHEN MEMORIAL DAY IS OVER

Okay, it's official...I HATE MEMORIAL DAY!!!!... The first and biggest reason I won't go into here...It's just too painful. The second reason is that I hate stupid out-of-staters who come here and think they own my state...it drives me crazy!!!! The third reason may seem trivial to some of you, but...

BLESSED ARE THE SILENT

Some years ago now, Becky bought me a wonderful book entitled THE POWER OF THE POWERLESS. It was written by a man named Christopher De Vinc, and it tells the story of his profoundly challenged brother, Oliver. Born to Belgian parents, Oliver was the oldest child. The pregnacy had gone fine, but one... Sign in to see full entry.

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE...I'M GOING BACK TO BED!!!!

Hi gang... I meant to write yesterday, but after my appointment, I just didn't feel like it. Don't worry...the appointment went just fine...didn't take long at all, actually. Just didn't feel like writing. I was too foggy-headed and tired and couldn't think straight enough to write anything. Just so... Sign in to see full entry.

THE AGONY OF MY FEET...OR, MY RETURN TO HELL

Soooooo....Tomorrow morning, 11:30, I go for my leg brace fitting. Mum's coming to pick me up, and it's going to be a long, boring day as we'll be there for a while. Probably a couple of hours. I hate going for leg brace fittings. The casting plaster they have to use is always cold (not to mention... Sign in to see full entry.

TWISTED

I'm wondering if the day will ever come when my heart is literally twisted wrong side out. For the past three days-well, ever since Thursday afternoon, really-my heart has been so twisted... I know it's only a matter of time before it breaks for good. Actually, I'm surprised as hell that it didn't... Sign in to see full entry.

DRAINED

WARNING: I may have to leave again gang...Not sure for how long this time....In all likelihood though, it'll have to be until the end of the summer. I don't want to go, and I'm not sure yet if I will, but I may have to. I'm going through my tired phase again, and I have to keep up my energy just... Sign in to see full entry.

A BRIGHT SPOT IN MY RAINY DAY

Good morning gang... After the day I had yesterday, I got some fantastic news this morning. A lady named Beth from ALPHA ONE (A service provider for the physically challenged here in Maine) phoned to ask whether I'd be interested in participating in a craft group. Beth said she's quite sure the... Sign in to see full entry.

DESPERATELY SEEKING MICK

Yeah, yeah, I stole the title of Madonna's flop movie...So sue me already! So sorry gang...I know I keep harping on this subject, but I can't help it. I wish I could just buy a ticket to Northumberland...I need to see Mick so bad... Better yet, I wish I could ask him to come here, but I can't. There... Sign in to see full entry.
