Today it is my turn to have a good day. It’s been fairly rough this past week or so for everyone around here. But I have also had the tremendous head pains to deal with as well as all the doc appointments and accompanying stress. So today I am going to have a good day.
I have been keeping a log of when my head hurts. I am pinpointing more that when I lean over like picking something up from the floor, I get one. Sometimes I get one when I lay on my side in bed. Night before it was bad; last night it was ok, but that may have been because I took a Celebrex. I attribute my ‘feel good’ morning so far to that Celebrex. I just have to remember not to get carried away just because I feel ok.
I’m going over Mom’s today and help her start going thru her closets. Her weight has changed and she has hung on to some of the larger sized clothes too long. Now that she’s feeling better I’m hoping we can go shopping during hunting season like we used to. So you know she’s going to be needed a little closet room soon!
I still have another set of medical forms to fill out. Can those things be any more annoying? Instead of telling them what you don’t have why don’t they just ask you when you come in what you do have? In my case it would be a shorter list to deal with. I’m so glad I’ve always kept a detailed account of all my doc appointments and tests from the past. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used that!
The corn has now been picked from around our house. (I sneaked this picture thru the bathroom window so you see “screen” lines in it). We did miss the breezes, but it was kind of nice in a way, to be hedged on both sides, very quiet and private. It is nice for a change to be able to see the cars coming down the road.
Yesterday when I went outside to talk with Dan jets were flying over…a lot. They went right over the house, very low. Suddenly there was a V formation of 6 that came. I asked Dan if he thought the Blue Angels were practicing. I must say, when I see something like that I am so proud to be an American. I get so sick of people trying to divide us up around here. Why can’t we just be Americans? If you want to be African go to Africa; if you want to be speaking Spanish, this isn’t the place – we speak English here, American English. If you like Muslim laws go somewhere else, don’t be bringing them here. We have the greatest judicial system in the world, not perfect, but absolutely the best when compared to other systems. Just because America has been the ‘melting pot’ of the world doesn’t mean each different element remains in it’s original condition – it melts - and so should the visitors who call this place home. Don’t try to change America to be a replica of where you came from. You need to be staying where you came from for that! Come here, embrace our laws, learn our language, and act like you’ve got some sense. And things will be fine.
