Costume Fun Begins
For my roles in my upcoming choir/theatre show, in which we sing selections from "Wicked" and "The Wizard of Oz", I need costumes of things I do not normally wear. Finding this stuff in second-hand shops and costume shops is proving somewhat fruitless and I'm not spending hundreds of dollars on real clothes for which I won't use again. However, I ( Read more... ) -

Quick
- My mother is angry with me, as a sister couldn't keep my letter private when Mom asked why the sudden interest in her seeing a doctor for memory issues.

The Letter to My Sisters About Mom
It's taken two months for me to finally write up what I thought about Mom's behaviour when I visited Newfoundland and on phone calls before and since.

She needs to agree because I'm close to having a ( Read more... ) -

An Odd Dream
I had a dream about Jason last night. I was in a mall, an extension of the sequence that came before, but I don't recall what that part was about. In this segment, I saw Jason off to one side as I walked up a ramp to another level of stores.

Weight Loss Support News

Today, as our Social Committee is preparing breakfast for all of us, he was talking to people about how this morning will be his first real meal after twelve weeks of shakes. That information led me to tell him via email what I'm about to start and he ( Read more... ) -
Sleep Study Diagnosis - Apnea
I don't know how severe the apnea is. All I was told was "some" apnea. No other sleep disorders were mentioned, so I hope they didn't see any. The clinic will schedule a follow-up doctor's visit to discuss treatment. Hopefully those next appointments aren't out three months like this sleep disorders test was, as I'd like to start sleeping better ( Read more... )
