Some days I wonder if I will ever feel really good again ---or is this just the way it is from here on out? I'm not really sick but I'm definitely not feeling chipper either. I think it was sinuses for a while and I was on an antibiotic for five days given me by the dentist as he said it wasn't teeth causing the pain. I'm still feeling rundown. I think part of the problem is most likely that my hip/leg pain continues and it's been going on for entirely too long. I can only hope that my pain clinic appt a week from today will nip that in the bud! I'm getting an injection in my back but it's my hip and leg that are painful. I wonder if he'll agree to a cortisone shot in that spot too. I've got my fingers crossed and I'm willing to start crying if he says no. Yeah, like that'll do me any good.
The manager here is on my shit list again. Not that she was ever off of it. A resident who left here and moved to Sequim (mainly because of the manager) left behind (it fell behind her fridge) this pasta holder. A heavy cylinder like container. I told her I would put it on the table in the lobby as she was coming to town for a doctor appt. She texted me later that evening and said it wasn't on the table. I immediately thought the manager. Went looking for it yesterday morning and sure enough, the manager said she tossed it in the garbage because it cut her finger. Liar, liar, pants on fire! I had written the woman's name on a post it note and attached it so she knew exactly who's it was. She started giving me double talk about how people throw stuff out there thinking it's a free table. Another lie. They don't. Residents who live here know the free tables are in the laundry rooms. I'm kicking myself for not telling her off then and there but I let it slide. She must have known I was pissed, though, because I just found a roll of packing tape on the shelf outside my door. She had borrowed mine weeks ago telliing me she would replace it but she never did -- even when I reminded her. Funny how it came to mind after she knew I was ticked off.
I woke up at 4 this morning and an hour later, I realized sleep was just not going to happen so I got up. Now I'm feeling tired and rummy. What a surprise. I spent the morning working on my new book. I'm listing everybody alphbetically and I'm into the G's now. Have about 9400 words written. I usually try to do at least an hour or more daily but sometimes I'm too tired. Slow but sure.
Got my monthly free food delivery today. Canned goods mostly but lots of other good stuff too. What I can't use or still have leftover from the previous month, I usually share with neighbors.
Am really looking forward to Thanksgiving next week. My sister and her son are going too and he will drive her home afterwards so I don't have to worry about driving in the dark. Jenni has an extra bed for which I am thankful. All three of my daughters with their husbands will be there along with my granddaughter and her husband. My granddaughter from MS is coming up too but her hubby can't make it. Grandson Hunter will be there with his new girl friend and what I'm especially excited about is the photo op I'm going to have taking pics of all the dogs that are coming. FIVE of them! Hunter and his girl friend are getting a short haired pointer (pup) in Vancouver I think. They're calling her Nellie. My nephew is bringing his very large wolf like dog (Silva) and Janie is bringing her Lucy, Jen has Sammy, and Mary is bringing Poppy. It's gonna be a blast!
I've got another jigsaw puzzle going and will probably continue to have one set up through the months. One of these days I've got to get back to my sewing machine too. I kind of miss it.
Here's some of the pics I took at Elaine Arey's celebration of life last week. I didn't get a shot of everyone as I had to leave (legs hurt)
