Health Update

Posted on | July 12, 2007 |

Quick health update: I saw my doctor yesterday at 7 am (yes, that’s “7:00 in the blessed a.m.” as Colonel Potter used to say on M*A*S*H!). My hearing was tested and I was examined. Apparently, my hearing is at one of its best levels. And, well, there’s nothing that they can do for the hyperacusis if my hearing is fine. I just need to figure out how to deal with it. I’m working on that.

I started by continuing with my plans for yesterday. Angie and I met with Lynn, a fellow artist, for shopping at The Creative Quest and lunch. It was a lovely day, and, since I’d been up since 5 am, I was quite tired. Angie had the boys at her mother’s house, happily busy, and she really needed to pick some things up at D&I Beads. So, we stopped at Starbucks for some caffeine fortification and then went on to D&I. It’s huge. We spent about 45 minutes there and both found things we couldn’t live without (no surprise!). Then we went back to pick up the boys. And I went home. I was tired. So tired that I went to sleep at 8:30. I clearly needed the sleep! I slept straight until 5:45 this morning.

So, this morning I woke with much more energy. I was determined to get some art done. Angie was bringing the boys by in the afternoon to swim and watch movies - and for some art time. The boys were so good today! They didn’t argue much, fight much, and they followed all the “rules” of the pool.
I did get a lot done, but I need to finish up tomorrow morning and then I’ll do my best to post photos. Really. I know. I’ve been bad. Please hang in there. I will get some photos out tomorrow. Now I am off to sleep!
