Oh my gosh DonnaH, I just read your story! I think you finished turning the rest of my hair gray! You certainly have a guardian angel looking over you for sure. You are so lucky that the door didn't break your back! I hope you aren't too sore now.
I sincerely hope that my computer problems will be over with the new router/modem. I'm connected with a cable to the modem now; I have wires all over the place.
This year just keeps on giving and giving. A close friend of mine has Stage 4 cancer in her abdomen, uterus, liver, back, both lungs and wrist. She's lost over 100 lbs in a year. She was supposed to start chemo today but she couldn't go to the bathroom yesterday and I'm sure they didn't do it as she's in the hospital now and can't have visitors. I saw here a month ago when we went to an activity for my grad school which she also attended and the only thing about her I recognized was her voice! Please pray for Sharon; she needs a miracle.
I'm reading The Recruit by Monica McCarty, the latest in her Highland Guard series now. It's somewhat different than the others and does refer back to the actions that have taken place in the other stories a lot. But it's still pretty accurate historically and you know how I like history!
The week before the election I had lunch with a high school classmate whom I hadn't seen in many years. He was in FL visiting his grandchildren and stopped in on his way to the Tampa airport (yes, I'm that close if you want to stop by too). He thought that we hadn't seen each other for 44+ years; I thought we hadn't seen each other in almost 50 years. It turns out that we were at our 25th and 40th reunions together (I have the photos to prove it)! Also, he's an ultra-conservative and, I'm a liberal; we had many FB wars during the election. I was nervous about meeting him b/c of it but we left politics out of it and had a great time catching up. I took my yearbook and we went through it, page by page. It was really nice.
The Celtic Thunder concert was awesome!! There was no one between me and the stage!! sigh......... I got a smile from the new guy when they were singing their signature song, "Ireland's Call," and I was following along with the motions. Another time, they were pointing during a song; I was pointing along with them and one of them pointed right back! Each one took a turn this time and spoke to the audience which made it so much more intimate. sigh...............................
Oh yeah, the man sitting to my left was twenty years younger than me and was by himself. I was talking to him and after the concert, I said that maybe I'd see him next year. He said maybe sooner and then hugged me! That's two men twenty years younger than me who've been attracted to me in six weeks! This has never happened before but sure feels great!
Off to bed, early (8:30) doc appt. tomorrow. Ugh!!!
