As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...
Today has been a day of many mixed emotions. I had an appointment with my PCP who Paul and I have been going to for the last 20 years. Paul has known him longer since he was Paul's doc in the AF. Since Paul's diagnosis he has been having me to come in once a month to see how I am doing. Today he asked me how I was really doing adn I began to cry. As he h...
I cant believe that I have actually played host to TWO greyhounds here tonight - when Daisy is coming tomorrow. The greyhound I fell in love with last month, which gave rise to my having Daisy, had a friend staying - ARNIE!.....who was absolutely huge. Her owner brought them both! The meeting I have monthly at my house, to do with some work I do, is very informal, about eight of ...

I NEED to do this me for me & only me. I NEED to FEEL better, somthing has to give. Wish me luck, im gonna need it!
I am very pleased with Daisy if a bit stressed! Jenny the greyhound lady had such a set of rules and regulations and must dos and must donts that for a while I have felt a nervous wreck with the poor dog. She is exceptionally shy and still is - though she has surprised herself a couple of times by getting up from her bed (a duvet) and wagging her tail at me!! &n...
Hello Friends, Yesterday I went to vacuum the kitchen carpet and I thought I saw a stray grape. So I bent to pick it up before continuing with my vacuuming, and low and behold, it moved! I can hear you all going Ewwwwww! right about now. I don't know how it got there (maybe caught in my husbands pants cuff after he came in from the barn?) but it was a newborn baby mouse. Well, it's a...
I am really really pleased with my middle room (lets for the moment forget the piles of stuff put into my sitting room...lol).............Tenant J helped me move his table (that I am storing for him) over to the other end of the room, which means I can see my students there when they come in to talk over case studies and things - and then, when eldest son comes down this coming Friday, he can put...

I was just sitting here thinking and that song refrain that the children sing in church keeps running through my head. "Stay awake (clap-clap), Be ready (clap-clap) for the Lord is Coming soon!" When you are slowed down and hurting from a chronic illness (or 2 or3), it can be hard to near impossible to get in the Christmas Spirit. Add to...
