Just Tuck Me In
Good morning. It’s just me. We’re doing much better at this very moment. We’ve been up and down 3 times so far this morning and its not even 7 am. Kept getting hit with chills and soreness. This time we woke up warm, so maybe I’ve surpassed it this round. Will watch carefully. We’re doing lotsa good bedrest to get over the rough spots. Seems to be working.
SOOO, now we’re UP! V is over the otherside playing POGO. We know not to interrupt him from that space. I think he’s a regular hehehe. We still haven’t heard from our youngest son, so we’re thinking today is off, though I could imagine him IMing at 11 saying aren’t you coming? I think we have to plan on not going. He needs to learn better communication skills. Plus, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to get over whatever this is that I have … wouldn’t want to pass it on.
We’re looking forward to getting another paper done pretty soon. This is the one on disabilities. We have to come up with 2-3 guidelines we’d like to see implemented. We’ll do as before and look for it through the Internet. We’re having really good luck with our keyword searches.
The kitties are doing well. They’ve really appreciated all this fine napping. Hmm, they are now both sitting on the arm of the couch. They could go outside if they wanted because the door is open, but I think they are still in their sleepy mode. They are trying to figure out if I’m going back to bed. Ha! I’m not! I know poor kitties. They’re about the most nappingest people I ever saw!
Haven’t heard much from our friend over the weekend. I think he was online for a little bit yesterday. He had a weekend long clinic on how to officiate better baseball. Eh, not my choice, but he seems to like it. I love it that he is so active and involved in the world. I really admire him for that. I think we talked a little about the diets. But, in general, it was a pretty short conversation. If he signs on today, I know he will be on me to take a shower to get rid of sick germs. We might do that soon and beat him to the punchline! Not QUITE yet! I’m still being amazed we’re holding comfortable temperatures. We don’t want to mess with getting cold again.
Ahh Sarah Mclachlan … that’s different … pretty. We haven’t had music on throughout the weekend it was too much and easily confused us. Feeling better though and no congestion or cough, so I can’t be really sick. Hehehe maybe we’re just getting old! Naw!
I do have to say going through the materials that I working on yesterday got a little depressing. I was working on elderly people. There’s a lot of folks having a hard time. We tried to stay upbeat and did pretty good until we got to the 137 page report on Diabetes and the elderly out of Australia. I didn’t get much past the first 20-25 pages, but I thought oh no … this is going to be a problem. I didn’t realize that diabetes could affect so many health issues. We’re still kind of blocking off information from going through our brain. But, one of the guidelines we wrote about was the government studies that say that older people can be affected positively by 30 minutes of exercise most days. If you want to lose weight you are supposed to bump that up to an hour. That’s my ultimate goal. I want to get stronger inside so that I can walk an entire hour, then I will take myself back outside so I can appreciate the fresh air and all that comes with walking along nice paths. That’s the one thing I miss from the first apartment I’d gotten in Chicago right after graduation. It was just two blocks from Lake Michigan. Nice paths. I remember going out there with the walkman before walking got hard. But, who knows maybe we can get that going again. Hmm, I didn’t think of that … I wonder if my old walkman is still working and if I could get a station for when I’m walking on the treadmill. Maybe I better check that out.
Hmm, I found it … needs two triple A batteries. Hmm … just went through a whole thing. But, deciding against it. I got a check for $1,850 as a refund for school. I’ve been doing pretty good not mentally spending it … We’ve not put it in the bank, because we are scared of it going quickly … Wanted to put it aside for car either repairs or a new one, but there are a few needs that have to be taken care of. First is the $330 I am going to need paying for the hotel in June for CARF. Sr. is paying for the bigger amount of going to the meetings. AHA $660 is her cost. These things are expensive … caught the date too. June 12-14.
Hmm, got sidetracked there … CARF had on their site information about an e-learning experience for people who have disabilities, or work for people that have disabilities. First glance … I really didn’t like it, but then again I’ve never been real pro on business courses. I opened one section when through a unit of learning, took the test and found the test asked questions that weren’t in the learning portion. Multiple guess … And, I didn’t like it telling me I was “incorrect!” Ha!
We were considering that CARF had their International meeting coming up by next week. Still not sure about that, but it would be really cool to jet off to AZ and spend 4 days there … Ok, ok … gotta get a grip on it. If I were to do that … it would cost me all my “free” money. Be nice, but really still like to avoid the whole airport thing. That’s what I liked about Ohio. It’s just a simple 5-6 hour drive. NOW, that’s more likely. We should plan to bring the car in for upkeep before that meeting. Like to make sure we get there no trouble. Beside we have another meeting coming up soon as well … Think the beginning of April, better check, hold on.
Oh dear most of the day’s gone by since I recalled where I was. Seems we started looking around the Internet and now here we are again. We found a meeting to go to on Tuesday that’s not far from the house. It is about the importance of belonging. I don’t feel like I belong anywhere today. Feel kinda weird. Kinda like lost in space. We’re heating up a late lunch now. Maybe after that if we’re not feeling better we can take another nap. Just feeling out of sorts. Air raid siren keep going off. Are we like being invaded? Is this something I should know about?
Ok, pretty confused here. Better lay down…
