Congrats on the benign biopsy report, Colordeagua! And that's cool about still being able to read Spanish after 41 years! Three positives for yesterday thursday dec 8, 2005: 1.) It was great to have Maria back after her being away for 2 and 1/2 weeks! 2.) I appreciated the support of the TVClubhouse board here (in the Home and Garden thread) when my kitchen drain got totally blocked! 3.) And after approximately 18 hours of a totally blocked drain, the water in my kitchen is now running properly again (as of 4 AM this morning) and I don't have to keep running up and down stairs to use the bathroom sink!!! First positive for Friday today dec 9: 1.) I am glad I got the kitchen stocked with some extras yesterday before I got snowed in today with maybe 10 inches that I'm digging out of. I enjoyed my baked potato chips (a rare treat for me) in between working on drain-clearing issues and shoveling!

OOps, have to add one more positive for this weekend in general: For the first time in a LOOOOONG time, I do not have to make the trek to my Dad's house for the weekend; I may actually get a chance to breathe or even make it to Quaker meeting for some quiet meditation!

Three positives for Wednesday 1. A very handsome, cleancut young man made my morning a lot better than it would have been when he asked if I was ok after pulling onto a side street after a hit and run. He happened to live in the house next to where I pulled up and was getting into his car when he saw me looking at my car. He not only pulled the bumper up from the wheel with his brute strength but knew that that could even be a option but more importantly he happened to be an airplane tech and went into his house to get wire they use on planes that they call the duct tape of airplanes.. holds everything together and he wrapped it around everything that was loose so it wouldn’t hit my front left tire and I could drive my car. 2. He also was very engaging in conversation and understanding and kept up the conversation after he realized I couldn’t talk and communicated with writing, which many strangers stray from but he just talked more. I don’t know his name but he definitely made the day much better than it could have been. 3. The other positive thing was the support at my office when I got there and had to call the police to come over so I could file the report, they were all great in helping me call people and get it sorted out and that was nice, especially at this time of the year.

Jumping in with some more positives: 1. The comfort and familiarity of my surroundings after a hard day. 2. A difficult task successfully completed yesterday (finished leading a series of conference calls). 3. I have re-connected with Linda and we are doing a one-on-one tonight (although now it is postponed to next week, the RE-CONNECTION is still there).

Friday the 13th wasn't a bad day: 1. Got up actually feeling somewhat rested, and it was peaceful and quiet outside-- no construction noise from my 2 neighbors' building projects. 2. Found extra medicine I didn't know I had ("travelling pills"), so won't have to run to the drug store today. 3. In addition to peaceful outside, felt relatively peaceful INSIDE myself. 4. Caught up on the news with phone conversations with friend John, and also George of our Radio/Communications museum. 5. The letter from the town about my tree coming down wasn't as bad as I expected; they are actually offering to plant a new one (though of course it won't be nearly as BIG as my giant "friend"). 6. Just now, enjoyed browsing through some Harry Potter film photos on the web after seeing the Goblet movie the other night (movie-going a rarity for me; this helped me relive it)!

Struggling with the positives today Saturday Jan 14th, however: 1. I did enjoy reading Harry Potter Book One, which although I saw the movie, I hadn't read before! 2. Friend Sharyn posted to my online class msg board, giving it a boost forward in it's first month of existence (thanks to Costacat and others here for giving me instruction in yahoo group moderating!). 3. Connected briefly with friend Michael on phone.

Sunday January 15, 2006 1. Made it to visit my father today in spite of frozen car doors (anyone have tips for unfreezing? thought I'd never get it and took 1/2 hour!), high winds, tricky conditions on road. 2. Enjoyed a stop-off in a nearby town for 2-hour R&R; enjoyed my hot shower there (own hot water is on the blink). 3. I am safely home tonight and "snug" inside with 7 degree temperatures outside!

Thanks, Chewpito! Tuesday January 17, 2006 1. Had a glorious time at the car wash getting all of the winter crud (and still some frozen ice) from Sunday's storm off the car, which is now gleaming! 2. Friendy server at Subway subs gave me free bottle of spring water, since I don't drink soda and had to pay for soda to get free sub sandwich. 3. Good session in new CBT treatment.

Even as I await the new neighbor, I am delighted he is gone. 2. Talked with Marla again tonight, after visit to my Dad's today. ---------- Monday January 23, 2006 1. Long productive chat with GMA producer tonight. 2. Sent email to Cousin Margaret re viewing her oral history of my Dad and his two sisters.

1. Today I made some unusual foods for super bowl and everyone loved it. 2. I went to the auto supply store and found the correct windshield wipers for my car all by myself! I had no idea that all three wipers were different lengths! 3. I found small strawberries for dipping in white chocolate. Also found beautiful bananas for the dark chocolate. I'm a chef, you'll hear lots about food from me! LOL!
