getting ready for THANKSGIVING Mood
Monday, November 17, 2008
I AM AT WORK - GETTING READY TO LEAVE NEXT SUNDAY TRO GO TO HOUSTON FOR THANKSGIVING.I AM EXCITEDAND TERRIFIED. FIRST TRIP I HAVE TAKEN SINCE MY STROKE AND I AM GOING SOLO. WAS HOPING TO MEET UP WITH A PERSON THAT I HAVE TAKED TO FOR ABOUT 9 YEARS BUT NEVER MET... TERRIFIED ABOUT THAT AS WELL.  WE MET WAY BEFORE MY STROKE SO I AM MORE NERVOUS ABOUT HOW I LOOK NOW.... BEFORE I WAS JUST FAT - I HAVE LOST 100 LBS BUT I AM WALKING WITH CANE W/ AFO BRACE ON MY FOOT-  AND MOST OF THE TIME I FEEL LIKE A CRIPPLE. IT IS HARD TO DRESS UP WHEN YOU ARE SPORTING A CLUMSY BRACE WITH TENNIS SHOES. VERY ATTRACTIVE!  OH WELL IT IS WHAT IT IS AND AS POPEYE SAYS " I YAM WHAT I YAM!"

    yesterday, when i was feeling low, i went to salon and got my hair colored and my brows waxed- never did any waxing before - now i am hooked...it was like a brow lift with no surgery. i am retiurning on wed to get manicure. i am getting ready for my trip- just pray it doesn't snow this weekend. i would hate to drive to airport - 2 hours on ice, although the cold will make the gulf of mexico sweeter! carry on
