Another Adventure in Futility
Wednesday night was a performance for Ukelele Ladies. We all met at the leaders house. She gave out our Hawaiian Shirts and beads and then we carpooled to Parawan (17 miles away). I was in Katheryn's car (the leader) we arrive in the parking lot and she stops the car and says "I don't think I brought my ukelele!" It turns out she did not and all the calling in the world to her husband, children and fellow ukelele ladies got no answer. Sooooooo. The group was asked if anyone would let her play their uke and they could play with the rhythm gal. Since I could play rhythm I volunteered. It was a lot of fun, but I still haven't played my uke for a performance except for Family History Staff. And they never sing along so it's no fun.
Yesterday was my first Fall Shakespeare Festival day. Everything went just fine. Today is FHC day and I am working the 3-6 shift instead of 9-12 because the Director of FHC is at a Family History Conference in S.L.C.
I guess that's about it for now. Keep those cards and letters coming folks!
I've been gone. Now I'm back.
Hi world.
Celebrated R4's B-day.
One of his presents was a 400 disc DVD changer. We built and installed a small shelf for the wall to hold his projector since we did some furniture rearranging and then installed about 200 of his 300 plus DVD collection that was going in the changer.
I spent lots of time with Richie and we played and read a lot.
Cassie and I had lots of fun designing and creating a Halloween quilt. She's having to do all the sewing but I think we had lots of fun picking out and cutting the material. Also keeping Richie and the cats off the squares as we were designing on the floor and bed kept us busy.
Speaking of cats. R4 had a run-in with Nova the Cat. He went to pick her up and move her and she had a problem with that and grabbed on to R4's hand with her claws and hung on for dear life. Richard has a wicked looking set of scratches down his right hand and another one on his left leg and a set of nasty puncture holes on his right pinky finger. The last is the most painful because evidently all of Nova's weight was suspended from it at one time. The finger swelled up and it looks nasty. He's doing much better, but Cassie got some unexpected nursing experience this week.
A special thank you to Rich for being all alone while I got to be there and play. I love you so much. I really needed this time with the kids. I glad I'm home though. I'm sure the kids are too to some degree.
Going to my first Ukelele Ladies Performance tonight. Tell you how it went tomorrow.
Hello World
Hi! I am in Beautiful Downtown Las Vegas. Yep. R4 picked me up on Tuesday afternoon and I will be here 'till next Tuesday. R4'w birthday was yesterday and we celebrated his 24th b-day. He got some really neat gifts and then Denise took us (R4, Cassie, R5, Anthony, Denise and I to The Outback for dinner. "Good times" as R4 would say.
Taken it easy. I find something to clean once in a while and then I rest or play with Richie. Boy he is a joy. He has a great personality. He is also very melodramtic if he needs something. I could just hug the stuffin' out of him he's so cute.
Just thought I would check in with my blog. Also a Big THANK YOU to Rich for holding down the fort. Hope the cats are behaving and maybe water my plants in the kitchen. Talk to you soon.
George!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE!
My "little" brother is now 36! My we're gettin' old!
Hope you have a great day.
reminder: R4's b-day is Sept. 21. #24. Now I know I'm old.
Another Day 2
It's Sunday and I didn't make it to church. That's pretty unusual for me. Woke up with more of the yuckies. Feeling okay right now. When I have called my doctor last week about these head-aches he didn't even want to see me. He just thinks we can throw major drugs at it. I guess that's better than wasting an office visit where he says "Let's throw some major drugs at it". I'm exaggerating, as usual, but you get the idea.
Talked to Dad. He just got back from a two week vacation to Alaska. He and Phyllis had a great time except that Phyllis came back pretty sick. Hope she's doing better soon.
Each day seems like the last. But I hope to change that soon by getting to visit "The Kids". I have some major scheduling hurdles to clear but I think we can work things out.
Good enough for now.
Don't forget: George's Birthday Sept. 19th-#36.
Stuff 3
Hello world. I'm still here. Nothing has changed. Life continues on whether I want it to or not. Didn't get to work at FHC on Tuesday. Monday night I started to get a nasty head-ache. It's Wednesday and it is still with me. Definitely not as bad as on Tuesday morning, but enough to make me ornery.
One of the main reasons I stopped writing in my journals is that all I ever talked about is my health. That's because it was my number one concern, and 5 years later it still is. That and absolutely no money. The combination is pure boredom to anyone who has to read this stuff.
I've decided I'm being plagued by the Maniacal Chipmunks. Alvin-my abdominal pain. Simon- my Sciatic pain. And Theodore (also known as Nasty) - my head-aches.
Well here you go. One more post about health.
All Better
Feeling really good today. Yaaayyyy. Went to Ukelele Ladies this morning. It's lots of fun and they have really welcomed me into the group. We already have 2 performances scheduled before the year is out. They have only done one show since I joined the group and I was sick (cold and no voice) for that one. (Last March)
If you read this dribble let me know. It's hard just writing in the air (so to speak) It feels like it is just floating out in space never to be cared about again. Boy. I'm back to being bored again. This is extremely difficult to have no money and no life. It really sucks eggs. I also hate not being strong any more. I need some "muscle" to move my bedroom group around. And I need two Deacons to clean my back yard. Guess the anti-depresents aren't working today. (tears)
Okey. I'm better. Just got to vent once in a while. Life goes on...and on.....and on.....
Silence is Golden????
NOT!
I have struggled with this stupid cold since Tuesday, blown my nose raw and now I wake up feeling pretty good..........and NO VOICE. Oh well. As long as I can keep my nose I'm happy. It's a nice nose (for a ski slope) I'm rather attached to it.
'Till we blog again.
Nothin'
My cold is getting better. But I'm pretty zapped as far as strength. Not doing anything. Just sitting around.
Feel'n yucky
got a sore throat and a stopped up head. Yes I took my Nyquil. But I still can't sleep even though I'm tired. Yucky'sville.
Russell's B-Day
Happy Birthday Russell. Age 21 today! Yaaayyyyyyyyyyy!
Stay safe my nephew. I love you.
To the World
Hello to family and friends.
Not everytime mind you, but occasionally would you press comment on the current post, sign in and at least say "Killroy was Here".
Today is Monday. Housework day begins again.
Love to all.
Stuff 2
Last night was the last show of the summer for the Utah Shakespearean Festival. I got to stay and see Loves Labors Lost. It was fun.
At the beginning of the show mild mannered Nondus Newman, Disguised as a Shakespearean matron, then jumping into a nearby bathroom at intermission, she emerges as ....... me. What a let down. It was the last day to turn in costumes. The Fall Theatre season starts on Sept. 29th. And I go back to wearing a black skirt, white blouse and then a red blazer that the theatre provides. And I'm back to alternating Wednesdays and Thursdays at 2p. once a week. I'm sure I've said all this in previous blogs, but since no-one reads this dribble who cares.
Hey, Tomorrow, Sept. 5th is Russell's 21st. B-Day. Aunt Jackie is pretty sure he has deployed to Egypt. She has to wait 'till he contacts her with address info.
Time to go to choir. La la la laaaaaaaaaaa.
Hello?????
Hello? Anyone out there? Does anyone ever read this stuff or am I all alone on the blank page of life?
I am so bored. I vacuumed upstairs and down. The sink and dishwasher are empty. The laundry baskets and washer and dryer are empty. The kitty litter is clean and fresh.
I'm all dressed with no place to go.
Life is good and I'm complaining. I've become my mother. Noooooooo!
No. I promise I will change. Maybe if I am visited by the Ghost's of Housework, Past, Present and Future I will see the error of my ways. YES! It must be so.
