thanks

I just want to thank you, my open diary friends. it is so nice to have a connection here. even tho i don’t check in very often, it is nice to know someone bothers to read what i write, and note me.

i appreciate the advice too, about apologizing. i keep thinking that over and over and how simple it could be. it would have been much simpler had i not been a complete dolt in the first place. I am afraid I will start trying to explain myself, but there is no explanation, so I would have to think it out and not get started down that road. i was rude. period. sigh.

my hip is better. all last week i could feel it coming on, my hip going out of place, sort of. i haven’t been walking much because it has gotten so cold in the mornings, and when i did go to walking, the back of my right knee would tighten up and hurt. that is the first sign and that was early last week. it got worse as teh week went on, and by friday i was in a lot of pain. but i forgot to get to the chiropractor before they closed, so i had to deal all weekend. hubby tried to help, but he just aggravated things more. i couldn’t sit or walk on saturday. so i stood at the counter and went through papers and stuff. the bad thing is that weather was SO good this weekend for walking, and now it is below freezing with an anticipated high of 40 all week. gag me. i don’t want to walk in the cold.

sunday was a bit better than saturday. i could sit, sort of, and i was able to drive to kmart and the grocery store. walking to the parking lot made me realize it was still there. and when i got home i was so interested in walking i tried to walk around our block but only got two houses down before i had to turn around. going at a snail’s pace, no less.

this morning i woke up and it was a lot better. it still hurts, and i get twinges of pain all the way down to my ankle, but not like before! i didn’t have to walk funny and i could sit without wincing and working on finding a comfortable position. i went to the chiropractor anyway, and i will probalby go back wednesday cuz i can still feel the pains shooting. he and i both agree something is pinching the nerve. sigh. he is a good chiropractor and i appreciate how much he has helped me and my daughter. hub always wants to fix everything himself, but doesn’t want to fix what I want fixed. oh well.

He has recently been writing and playing music. he is a wonderful musician, tho it is not his profession. i can’t say i care for his voice in singing, but other people love it. i like his instrument playing, and could just melt. both our kids are wonderfully talented musically too. they play brass beautifully, and have been told they could make it as professionals tho neither wants that for a career. weirdos. no just kidding. i agree. the life of a musician can be very difficult. dau can make you cry. she sings pretty enough, but son, oh my, does he ever sing nice. girls at high school would make such a fuss over it, and it was true. it just melts you. i always said i like the brass better than the singing and that is true in the case of hub and dau, but i would rather hear son sing. he has been told he could make it as a professional singer and i know it is true. he loves to sing, but he sings for church. he is going to sign up for choir at college for fun. i would love to see him get into the musical productions again, but he does not have time. he takes hard classes and is a brainiac at heart. FINALLY, classes are getting hard for him. he is taking two honors courses and two other very difficult courses and said it was pretty much a breeze except homework for his foreign language class (5 credit hours!). it has always been easy for him, so easy that he would neglect to do his homework and not get A’s. he would do homework in class and would irk the high school teachers. and he would get it all right BEFORE they taught the class how to do it. yeah.

ok enough bragging for today.

faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
