Catching Up Again
It was so good to be on an outing! I had dinner at Seasons 52 with two friends from Giveback last Thursday. We ate on the patio where it is quiet, and after a lovely meal and great visit, drove on over to the meeting. One of my friends is returning to England tomorrow but will be back in the states in six or seven months. The other lady is my therapy partner, but we haven't worked together in a while because I had too much going on.
As I've said before, Giveback is a self-help group for brain injured folks, and I find it has offered me new hope. Recoverers work together and learn from one another and the professionals who donate their time to guide and teach. There is never any cost in money, but we are expected to make a dedicated effort to do our homework and put ourselves into meeting goals.
I don't remember Friday. I really do need to be posting every day. That is one of my Giveback goals! My family and friends who read these posts feel let down, too, because I say I'll write and am not steady with it. I'm praying about that. I need to try writing earlier in the day so I am not too tired to take it on. Most folks write their blogs quickly, sometimes it takes me a long time with breaks in between. It has taken as long as six hours (not all in one witting) but that's no real excuse. I could just write a shorter one.
My brother went to the coast to see a friend. He left yesterday and will come back tomorrow. He called and seems to be doing well.
Richard took me to dinner last night at Wolfgang Puck's. I was good... mostly. I had a spinach salad with salmon, very much right on my diet. But then dessert beckoned and I fell to the temptation. Oh well, I can't truly say I'm sorry.
I missed church today. In fact it is evening and I am still in my night gown. I have a sore throat and ear ache. I'm praying it goes away quickly. I must be well by next Sunday when I fly to California for medical exams for my Workmen's Comp case.
I don't know if these are doctors for the insurance company or if these are ones both sides agree on. Nita or Cecilia at my lawyers office told me once, or maybe Mr. Marcus did... I don't know, but either way, I leave Sunday and come back Wednesday. I'll be going to Oakland but doubt I get a chance to get to Galt.
I forgot to get a motel but will send it out when I do. I would love to see dear friends and kin but can't wear myself down too much. I want to do well on my tests and remember all that happens.
There is still no word of my lost Bible, but I am enjoying having the feather duster back.
