I thought I'd better let everyone know I'm alive and well. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I ate a bit of everything on the table. Didn't feel very well during the night but figured it was that I'm not used to all the carbs and sugar. It was worth a few difficult hours for all the wonderful food!
I've been listening to and watching YouTube and online radio lately, and rarely even turn on the TV. I've discovered some mind-bending stuff, and it's always good to keep an open mind.
I'm getting ready to leave for the Library and my first experience volunteering there. I ask myself what the hell I got myself into, and don't have any idea how it will go. I will keep my options open though, and may end up actually enjoying it.
Thanks to everyone who contributed their old sayings. I've heard most, but there were some I never knew.
So that's about it for me - I'm still plodding along at my own pace!
UPDATE:
My hour at the library passed very quickly, and I'll have to say, "Dang, I'm good!" Or at least "I'm OK!"
Mostly what I did was to sort books, and I'm sure they want to make sure that I know "C" follows "B", and "2" comes before "3". It's actually more complex than that but I think I did fine and I feel good about it. I don't know what came over to me to doubt my own capabilities in the first place, but it's good to get that first work session over with.
- A Challenge For Me
Somewhere recently I read that it is good to try to eliminate all negativity for 24 hrs. I am mostly positive so I thought I would take on this challenge, which I did yesterday. I found myself dropping something and saying things like "Oh...
- My Time Hasn't Come (i Hope)
I had a minor scare yesterday evening - actually, I thought I might die, literally. I won't go into details, but as I sat there thinking, well, "I was ok with reaching 75 and even hoped I might do 80, but if it's my time then it's my...
- Writer's Block
That is what I have, folks. I normally have no problem writing about anything, but I just can't decide on a topic, figure out a starting sentence, and just don't feel like trying. I just wanted to say I'm okay - feeling great mentally...
- Reading The Day Away
I took a stack of books back to the library this morning and got another stack to take home. They are all paperback mysteries, not the scary kind but with themes, such as cooking, B&B, quilters, etc. Usually they amount to a fun read and...
- I Need A Good Cry!
I just saw the gastrointestinal Dr. who will do the bile duct procedure, but before he can do it there are a number of issues to be addressed. Dang, I'm probably in worse shape than I thought. The one good thing to come out of the visit...
