Another Update

• If you thought there was a previous entry about how angry I am feeling about what is happening to me, you were right.  I made it private. Mentioning what is going wrong with my body is one thing. Getting angry about it is another thing and one that is not good for me so I am going to do my best to not to vent anger. I am not saying I will never vent again, but if I do it, I will privatize the entry.
• My finger nails are painted a lovely orange-red and I am very cheered up by this.
• I finally got round to ordering a replacement cell phone. It should be here in a couple of days. My older son called me this morning to check on what was going on. He mentioned my deceased cell phone and I was very pleased to be able to tell him that I ordered one yesterday!
• Since I seem to be be going to the ER on a regular basis, today I found my small backpack and started packing a few things so that Jake won’t have to scramble around to find clothing. I have underpants, shorts and a T-shirt. There are a couple of plastic bags with toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, hand lotion, and a comb. I need to add a pair of jeans and a pair of shoes with some socks stuffed into them. My Kindle and its charger will be in my purse. And, I suppose, my cell phone.
• I mentioned, I think, that Jake took me out to dinner last Friday? It was a great place in Raleigh called Bu-Ku. I had their hot pot which went to the top of the list as the best food I have ever eaten! {It pushed cold water melon on a hot day down to second place!} It was sweet but not too sweet with a little sharp bite of something as I swallowed it. It also had bites of chicken and lots and lots of fantastic mushrooms. Jake had a plate with about five different things on it. One was kimchee which one day I will get brave enough to try. There was also steamed kale which I DID try and liked. I have always avoided kale because it looks like cabbage which is, I see now was my loss since it doesn’t taste or smell a bit like cabbage. {I hate cooked cabbage because of its smell. Raw cabbage is excellent.}

"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." from the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew — Matthew 6:34

Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?

– Jalaluddin Rumi
