Day 365

New Years’ Eve. A quick scan of the daily log shows a routine and satisfying life. The high spots were socializing and writing groups. I loved every minute of teaching the creative writing classes and Tea and stories was often the best part of a week. Then everything clanged on August 6^th when I ran from the truck. I have not been well since that day. The brain disorder followed and the vertigo attack. I have no idea what’s coming next. Except unexpected changes.

Day 364

I was kind of dull yesterday until Mary Baker and Michele visited and it was an enjoyable conversation. Plus Mary brought lunch from Art’s place and it was delicious. I walked early and picked up a couple of grocery items to keep me going. Today is church and I will get my birthday blessing. I like that. Later, family steak dinner again when Megan comes home from the vet trip.  It’s going to be a regular occasion when Chuck and Hollie live here. Change happens.

Day 363

I admitted to feeling vague and disconnected and still I did fine at the center. I took a nap when I came home. Then ate the rest of the wonderful sandwich. I gave Shaun Kim’s Stetson and the summer bowler and I gave Mary the red hat and purple boa. Those hats were sitting for years and now may have use. Today Mary Baker and Theresa have asked to come and bring lunch. I’m looking forward to their visit. I am blessed with friends.

Day 362

Yesterday was nearly normal although it began slowly. Hollie came and we walked to Seaquake for amazing French dip sandwiches.  Then off to the cell store hoping to restore more of my phone usage. I slept poorly with scenarios about moving playing in my mind. What we need is a timeline and that is up to the escrow process. What if it falls through? Then we go through this again. Today is CofC duty and I’m ready to do it. Head is almost clear.

Day 361

Yesterday was just okay. I wasn’t able to fill the green bin because bending down was not comfortable. I took a couple of short walks but the day actually went by slowly and with a lot of sitting. I’ve had an unwell week and it’s time to get my healthy self back.  Today Hollie may come and we have serious planning to do for the move. I can’t really figure out what I want until Megan moves out and I can see the space.

Day 360

Three trips to the cell phone store and not successful. No photos, no  fitbit connections and just not the same. It melted down. Maybe I should start a new one. It’s frosty out and I’m not going to work in the yard until it’s at least 40 degrees. Lots of thoughts about the upcoming move. I looked at sleeper sofas and asked about Murphy beds. We can do this with a minimum of stress for everyone. It’ all family needs. We are all adaptable.

Day 359

Woke up with no headache and no wobblies. Hope the vertigo attack is over. Spent time yesterday ata the cell store trying to get my phone to work. No help yet. Going back this morning. We went to see Megan’s house and it looks like she is going to buy it. Huge investment and lots of property to keep up. It has great windows and four big rooms. I am thinking about how I want to furnish the little house. Big family changes coming.
