various stuff

Thank you, seeester, for the surprise care package!

Louie LOVES the squeaking mouse toy!! And I can't decide what to cook first.... some of my awesome golden pea soup (without christmas ham bones, if I make it now), or sloppy Giuseppes!!! YUM!!!

Haven't opened the cd yet, but am honored to have a copy! Thanks, Dan!!

Oh, and BTW, the check for the paint and painting supplies for the condo is in the mail. Thank you for sending the receipts.

Dave was out of town for 2 days this past week, to Tulsa for a class he had to take for work.

I did remarkably well during his absence.

Only one small anxiety attack....and that was when I heard from my Realtor, and found out that I was supposed to have initialed and returned the corrected lease to them THREE WEEKS AGO.

Why does this stuff happen when Dave is away? (at least this was minor...nothing like what happened when he was in Pennsylvania!!)

Anyway, initialed the lease, faxed it off, and mailed a copy off to my tenant, just to be sure that he gets one.

Is it over yet? It seems that every time I think it is, something else happens.

Anyway, I had a little anxiety attack then, but it wasn't debilitating. Just a few seconds of that squeezing sensation in my chest, and it passed. NO shortness of breath. NO shakes. NO nausea. YAY!!!

I think my adrenals are starting to recover. Still having fewer and fewer nightmares, and sleeping pretty well, when the cats let me.

I'm considering starting to dance again. I had a moment the other day when the thought : "I feel like dancing" passed through my mind. I haven't had a thought like that for many weeks, and it was good.

So I contacted the girls I had been dancing with, and asked if it was okay to come back.

I can't afford to go back to the formal school and studio where I had studied before, and who has asked me to come back.

At least not until we get our tax refund, and eliminate some of these suffocating MEDICAL BILLS!

We thought we had found someone on FreeCycle to take Nichi's cages, but she failed to show up on two different occasions, so we will probably just take them to a thrift store.

I am disappointed that we were not able to find a bird rescue to take them, or even a bird lover on FreeCycle who could bother to show up and get free cages! What the hell?!

Oh well. I'm starting to agree with Dave and Jessie, and others who swear that "people suck."

What's happening to me??? Gah..maybe I need a vacation....a few days off from work NOT spent at a hospital bedside....NOT spent moving and painting.

Yeah. I need that.
