Ok, I'll give a bit more. Saw Jerilyn (therapist) today. Really didn't have much to report to her. Don't have much to report in general.
I'm still somewhat down. I have been thinking about that. Think I will discuss it with Joan tomorrow when she calls. I will talk with her about the forgotten issue too. I wonder if some of this down has to do with happy. It's not like I'm unhappy. I'm just not happy. I'm content with things - hubby, pets, garden, house. I'm down about things like friendships - they just don't seem one of the things I can do. Looks like Michelle is off radar now. Not that she's not a friend.... just that painting etc appears to have disappeared. Even talking with her, I suggested lunch or dinner and she said she'd get back to me, but hasn't, even though we've talked since. Not going to push it.
Maureen and Mike are moving next week. Again a friendship that wasn't quite working out for me. I'm sorry to see them leave as I will miss her - on an occasional once in a while plan. Daily or semi-weekly was too much for me with her. Going to see them for lunch tomorrow. Have to remember that card to give them.
I do talk occasionally with Monica who walks Molly. Molly is an older, little dog not impressed with eager Jax. They live down the street, not far. Friendly woman, like her.
Too hot to work outside today. Might try a bit in the evening as I want to finish that big garden. I've got most of it done on my own. I had hoped the boy across the street would help, but he's be MIA lately. Oh well.
Jax loves going to the dog park. Went this morning for a bit. He was in the big side for a while, but then too many big dogs came and I brought him over to the small side. I just don't trust a lot / some of the big dogs. Apparently there was an issue on Monday or Sunday with a husky attacking a Springer Spaniel pup. Pup is ok. I'd much rather Jax in the small side alone then chancing an unknown dog. Even when some people say "Oh, my dog likes little dogs, he's friendly." Then...yeah, he likes them alright! For LUNCH!!! Even though I'm nervous, I take Jax, and steel my nerves when I feel the big park might be ok, and sadden myself when I put him alone in the small side.
Still waiting to hear when AJ is going to the specialist. If he has to have surgery....worried about that. Hope they will let him go to rehab for a while. I can't see me being able to lift him, help him up and down. I can feed him, but the lifting and getting him onto the chair, couch, toilet, in/out of the car, into/out of bed, up and down stairs (I'd have to get him onto the chair lift then drive it up and down the stairs). And showering.... I know it's a shoulder but as I've written - it's his only controllable arm that stabilizes his walking and getting up and down. He loses that - well...basically...he's f*kd big time.....and I'm screwed trying to help him. Of course I would do my best helping him, it's just. Ok, no more thinking on that one.
I could write about how my pain is sore. I have so much trouble sleeping because of it. Constantly there , even writing my fingers ache. My hips/legs are stiff for hours now in the morning. Yeph, I still garden - but I can only do it for a little while now, and I'm very leery of kneeling as getting up is hard. But my pain is nothing new.
Food...that's boring. Nothing new there either.
Obviously I really don't have much to write about today. So how about a few funnies before I sign off. Let me see what I can find.
and finally.....
