Now that most of the rainwater has drained and it looks like we're in the clear, we got most of our Halloween decorations up. I generally wait until October 1st, but we needed some cheering up. I stocked up on stamps while I was out too. But now I can't wait to mail out the rest of my fun Halloween cards to the "The Snail Mail Group"  . Oh well, surely they won't mind! I also found out that Homeschool Day at the NASA Space Center in Houston is coming up in a couple of weeks. Since I now have a reliable vehicle, I'm really hoping I can take the kids. It's about 6 hours away, so I'd have to come up with some "creative accounting" to fund a 2-day trip. We'll see...  |
| I've been thinking a lot lately about how I would like to self-publish a small book of poetry. I know I'm not going to set the world on fire with any of my poems, but I would like to leave behind a small spark for my kids. I have absolutely no idea how to get started, but I keep thinking about it. It may sound silly, but I think one day they would appreciate it. Even if it's just to say, "Hey look at your great grandmother's bad poetry!" Now I need to figure out where to go from here. |
| How the hell is September almost over?! I've got to get in gear and be more diligent about my writing. My 17-year daughter, who was raised by her father, got into a huge fight with her dad and stepmom. As a result, she has decided to move in with her boyfriend and his family. I'm not thrilled by this news, but at least now I talk to her more often. They live four hours away, so visits are few and far between. I guess the best part is that I'm actually welcome at her new home, instead of being shut out by her dad. It's been an emotional few weeks. |
| I generally don't listen to this type of music, but Katy Perry is a secret favorite of mine. I can't believe I haven't heard this song before. It's so happy and cheerful, it almost made me want me to get up and dance. This week has been crazy busy and I've been so overwhelmed that I'm starting to feel depressed too. This song is exactly what I needed to hear right now. |

but seems to be okay today. I worry about my poor circulation, scrub my toes with a soft bristle brush, watch discoloration come and go. I probably need new arteries or veins but hey... "Heathcare" USA (enough said?). I may be better off trying something here in Thailand. But still... wish I lived in a country that had adequate patient based healthcare. Thailand and Taiwan mostly do, but I can't access it. First world systems like Europe, Canada and Australia do, but again, I can't access it.
