October is rushing by
I can't keep track of October since so much has happened. Between work and home and tai chi, I feel like I live in a whirlwind right now. I don't know where that quiet life I am used to has gone.The month started off on day 1 with me having to undergo an angiogram. I tell you the doctor had me wound up tighter than a clock spring. He put me on nitroglycerin over the weekend while I waited for the angiogram. What does it turn out to be? A congenital heart defect where one of my blood vessels actually dips into the heart muscle itself instead of staying on top. All that stress and worry over something I have no control over.
October 4 was interesting but I can't remember why. I must be blocking that day out. On October 6, we started Tai Chi class. I was able to keep up with 90 minutes of exercise as we learned the first few movements of our 24 form Tai Chi. There is a website about it somewhere but I don't know where. My parents also came into town that day. I was exhausted.
On the 7th, we got up and went to brunch with the folks at Marie Callenders. We then took them to Portland's International Test rose garden. The view over the city is spectacular as well as the wide array of roses. My parents were duly impressed. We then went to Larry's show where he as absolutely awesome as Cat. My parents finally got to meet Larry. And then we went out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary at McGrath's Fish House.
On the 8th, we were off to the coast. Dad said the drive reminded him of West Virginia. You could tell how happy it was making him. When they saw the mountains drop off into the Pacific, they were awestruck. They couldn't imagine it even though I had sent pictures and described it for them. We stopped in Cannon Beach and then drove down to Tillamook and back.
Finally, the 9th started off slow. We went shopping for a little bit, had some lunch and went to the movie. I can't remember the name of the movie, probably because I fell asleep in it and slept for almost the entire two hours. It was a depressing movie anyway.
Then they were off for Colorado on Wednesday. I slept all of Wednesday afternoon. I tried to cram five days of work into two days. That doesn't always work. More Tai Chi. More headaches and more headaches and more headaches. The cycle is not in my favor right now.
So, that's October. I am hoping for a slowing down but it isn't going to happen soon. My best friend has stage 4 ovarian germ cell tumors. On Saturday, we are doing to Dinner's Ready to prepare some meals for her and the hubby. I don't know what else to do for her. It is very sad.
Well, I better get back to work before they realize I am slacking over my lunch.
Love to all.
