1. Lily of the valley weeded in one area, and transplanted in another (out front where they destroyed my old patch when they took away the tree). All are beginning to bloom just in time for my birthday coming up!

2. Michael called last night.

3. Got my rent check deposited in person. I usually mail, but was going to be in the neighborhood, and last time post office took 2 weeks and "returned to sender" even though address was right! It's a good feeling to know that there will be no "snafus" this time!

2. Came home to West Hartford tonight to my cat, who was delighted to see me!

2. I had been worrying about my lawn, but neighborhood teenager just came by and mowed it!

1. Late last night, got email from woman who had lost her semi-feral Maine C-o-o-n cat. She DID find her cat, thank goodness. I had given her all the support I could, and was just praying.

2. I stopped by the garden shop to get a bag of topsoil and they gave me about a dozen flower pots they were about to throw out. I am using them to transplant some of my perennials into (lily of valley, purple myrtle, daisy, echinacea) to take to a plant swap.

3. Sara picked up a computer part I needed (USB HUB) at the Best Buy store...they only had one left, so I was lucky!

Glad you like the thread, Missy2...Welcome!
thursday may 11, 2006
1. My head is humming with all I got done today; for once I could stay home and vigorously dig in!

2. Thanks to Sara who picked up my meds for me, much as she picked up the computer part last night!

3. Exchanged messages with the woman who found her Maine C-o-o-n cat--in the basement of all places! Even though she thought the cat had escaped outdoors, both a neighbor and I encouraged her to search again INDOORS in ALL possible hiding places for this very shy cat--and sure enough she was hiding in basement (where she never goes), hidden behind 2 paintings, too scared to meow, to scared to move. Happy ending.

1. Mary was delighted with the approximately 40 sets of vintage paper dolls I brought to thrift shop; she gave me a tea cup and saucer for my Dad for free (he likes cups with thin edge, lady in thrift shop told me it actually DOES make a difference in taste of coffee!)

2. While I was away at Dad's, my miniature pansies had come into full blossom! What a surprise...various colors, including deep blue.

3. I called Motor Vehicles (actually Triple A) to make sure I can get my driver's license renewed on my May 16 birthday tomorrow; I was worried that my current license actually ran out the day before.

ps re monday may 15: "bone china" was the phrase I was trying to think of in connection with tea cup and saucer!

tues may 16, 2006 A milestone birthday for me!
1. I liked the weather today: everything coming into full bloom of spring here in Northeast, but in 60's rather than 70's (my preference), with our Noah's Ark deluge of rain letting up and sun actually breaking out just as I went to take a walk around 5-6 PM!

2. Birthday message from friend Richard T, saying to give him a call--it's great when friends remember you even when you haven't been in touch.

3. Explored new outdoor shopping plaza, which I was prepared to hate, but they had classical music playing outdoors, some interesting shops, plus a Ben and Jerry's and Panera's Bread Shop, where I got French Onion soup!

1. At least I TRIED to make it to special symposium for holistic health careers; was glad I could just "let it go" when I got caught in traffic jam.

2. Did good job earlier of clearing old stuff off my digital tape recorder so it's available for new use coming up soon!

1. Really enjoying my new name here: Beth4Freedom. Not only is it refreshing to see, but the board now automatically REMEMBERS ME! It never did before, and I wore out my fingers constantly logging in with each post I made...never could make it "stick"! So this is great....I arrive here and I don't even have to log in!

2. Working hard all day, but finally a bit of peace and quiet tonight in the wee hours of morning as I tidy up some emails for an upcoming special event on June 5th (Why oh Why do I keep typing MAY 5th!!! I have to keep erasing and redoing!!!).

3. Sara was a big help and support today, and she IS going to be able to stay locally longer than she thought, through the month of July.

The best of today was after the dramatic thunderstorm passed, I took a walk down by our old historic grist mill near the roaring stream. I enjoyed all of nature bursting with new growth (except for the poison ivy, which I carefully avoided!)

1. Mary at thrift shop delightedly told me that they got $65 for a combo set of 1950s paper dolls (that I had donated). She said the woman was in happy tears over the fact that one set was a favorite from childhood!

2. John phoned to let me know his wife has finished printing up my promo "coupons" and they would like to meet me at local eatery to deliver.

3. Maggie and I celebrated my return home with freshly picked blades of grass from my "organic" backyard. I also snapped photos of my neat flower garden out front.

4. Got grocery shopping done (at last!) and didn't even have to wait in line! And when I got home, John and Joan had dropped off my 1,000 mini-flyers in mailbox: they had even already cut them to size; what a nice surprise!

1. Thank goodness I missed the accident on I-84 West that backed up traffic for miles and for hours (and prayers to all those involved in the accident, especially the person still in critical condition). When I discovered the main streets of my city clogged (didn't know why at the time), I was smart enough to turn around and get on EAST bound at a later entrance. Therefore made it to my very first ever physical therapy appointment on time. I have some hope that Michelle can help with the numbness, cramping and weakness in both hands (she agrees with my doc that it's not carpel tunnel).

2. Got adhesive mess cleaned up at last.

3. I think this was actually yesterday? but that's okay: was accepted to join online discussion group for some health issues that are challenging me. I again have hope that this can help me with some issues.
