Day By Day 60

 Yesterday we celebrated Lewis’ Birthday.  We went to ‘Swings and Wings’ and played for two hours.  Lewis had a blast.  We really loved watching him have so much fun. Then we came home and had a Cactus Taqueria dinner.  Lewis opened his presents. Lewis had the piece de resistance – Lewis’ chocolate cake.  He ate a lot of it and will have more later.  He was so happy with it all.  We left at 7 and went home.  

Today I had four people over to my studio and was as happy with the results.  We had a great conversation, and when it was over, we had one member ask for what she wanted when she got home, and her task is completed.  I read this afternoon and am making meat loaf, mashed potatoes, and yellow squash for dinner.  Then we will watch something on TV afterwards.

Day-by-Day

  Well, I’ve decided to go back to a day-by-day blog, with whatever happens to me that day being my source of the blog.     Pretty simple, if not too clever.     I’ve done the blog about the right speech issues, and more recently the blog about how my past has changed after my strokes, so this new blog will be very mundane, about whatever occurs to me each day.     Today I did my exercises, walked with my husband, then we had lunch and I watched part of a movie, then finished my last blog, and now here I am, being a new fresh person with only the thoughts that occur to me right now.     I have been excited about reverting to something superficial, and that includes allowing the fear of not much to say be foremost if it must.     Today I wondered again how much I might need to show that I have a mind that is active and occasionally exceptional.     I am worried this week about what to do and not to do.     Do I vi...

Day By Day 17

  Today I had my one-month checkup after my Catheter Oblation.     Things are looking good.     I feel great and have no lingering side effects.     I hope to be able to stop the sotalol.     For 2 weeks I’ll do half a tab then hopefully discontinue it.     Let’s see how it goes! Today we had the cleaners here in the morning, then we took our walk after that was over.  I had lunch, and then rested until the conference call.   Now I don’t exactly know what to do about the rest of the day.  I guess I’ll try to call someone and talk.  Deb or Sharon, perhaps.

Day By Day 13

  Today was crazy, as the last few days have been. First our TV arrived at 8:00 am.     Then after breakfast, I did my meditation with Anam Thubten online, then the dharma talk, which was about equanimity.     It was a good one.     I also tried to eat a salad, two peanut butter sandwiches and a pear.     Then I rushed inside so we could be ready to follow Jessi, Scott and the boys to a pumpkin patch an hour away.     It was a great place, but very windy today with a lot of dust being kicked up.     We met some friends, and then did our best to keep track of the two grandsons, two other kids, and various adults.     Lewis and I had a great time listening to the music, and he really loves it.     We saw bees, piglets, bunnies, chickens, a burro and a cow.     We saw a frog and caterpillars and pumpkins galore.     I got very tired, from the wind, the dust and other things, so after we...
