How Odd…

How odd to look back and see THAT as my last entry as if all that OTHER stuff never happened! Geez, so much has happened since that “last” entry it seems like I’ve become a whole different person since that one and it was only three short months ago… go figure. Well, for the most part I have saved most of my entries in between. I’m so glad. But I hope they’re able to restore the lost data because there are some I didn’t save and I’m sure there are many people who didn’t save any at all. One of the things I wrote and asked the “Diary Master” before I paid for a subscription was how secure their back-up was. I was assured they had great back ups, etc. etc. so I was rather surprised that so much data seemed to have been lost. OD seems to be the victim of many an attack, they need to batton down their hatches or whatever. I about went nuts over the week-end without being able to check in on all my OD friends. It’s crazy how addicted I am to my OD social life. In so many ways, one can get more intimately involved with others here, at OD, than with those we see on a day to day basis out here because who shares these kinds of secrets with every day acquaintances? Some of you may know more about my true hidden thoughts than folks who think they know me quite well! And I would suspect that one or two of you don’t share some of the things I have read in your diaries as well. Somehow that makes for a level of intimacy that is not easily achieved in ordinary life. Consequently I was feeling terribly deprived when OD was offline for several whole days!

Anyway, my news is I am blessedly scheduled to have gall-bladder removal surgery when I come back from visiting my mother. I’ll be seeing her from Sept 29 – Oct. 5th then checking into the hospital on October 6th. (The sooner the better as far as I’m concerned.) I could have had it done sooner, but my trip to my Mom’s sort of messed that all up so I scheduled it asap after I returned.

Also, the lawyer I work for and I talked. He raised my pay by $2/hr., got a new computer for my desk and we both agreed that we are pretty happy so that we both also agree I should just stay on permanently in my part time position. So how about that? He’s still treating me so well and it’s just so flexible, so why not?

That’s about it for now. I really missed you all!
