Update with Smilies *

• I had a pretty good day yesterday in that things got done. Unfortunately, I seem to be at the point where I am moving piles of "stuff" from one place to another   especially in the kitchen. The kitchen is empty of boxes except for one which contains cans of staples which I will empty as soon as the step stool arrives from Amazon. I don’t intend to actually put the staples on a top shelf. I am going to move something less essential from a low shelf to a high one so the staples can be where I can get to them easily. Also, I am sure there are kitchen boxes elsewhere because I still haven’t found my other crock pot.
• I am exercising my rights as an Officially Old Person Licensed to Talk about her Bowels when I say I am no longer constipated. And that’s enough about that!
• Still no car. And no information about where it is.
• I am hoping Jake can spare an hour or two to take me grocery shopping today. Hmmm, maybe if I bribe him with a trip to a good restaurant… I don’t want to give anyone the impression that he is reluctant to help me. If anything, I am reluctant to ask. He is a good person and does many things for me before I ask. Anyway, we talked about this before I moved. I pointed out I will need a lot of help from him at first and he understands that. But I have every intention on being as independent as I can as soon as I can and for as long as I can!
• One thing I need to do fairly soon is to locate a local drug store and get my prescriptions transferred. I am going to need my prescription eye drops in a week or so. Hmm, maybe I can do this by phone…
• I NEED my car!

Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) English Poet

Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.

– Oscar Wilde

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone. ~Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers}
