I have had bronchitis for most of the week. Maybe a litle pneumonia.
Anyway, I have just felt lousy!
There are certain things I need to do so that I do not get sick so much. I need to refrain from eating foods that my Doctor and nutritionist tell me that I am allergic to. Somehow, they represent some comfort to me - but then I end up sick.
I need to like and support myself more. Anybody else ever gone through this kind of thing?
Ther is so much I want to do and learn and I can't do it if I am laid out with illness!!
My daughter suggested that I seek blogging buddies who are interested in some of the same things I am ---
Genealogy (esp. gooing back to old New England)
Choral Music
Health, Alternative Medicine, Mind-Body work
Being a late bloomer
Vacations
So--- if anyone is lurking out there and would like to respond, go ahead and post. I won't bite!!

Whew!!!
I work part time for a facility that provides substance abuse treatment. Today we had inspectors from the funding source here to go over all our charts and books.
We have been preparing for this visit intensely since the first of the year. The last few nights have gone past midnight for many of our staffers.
There is a lot of red tape involved in this kind of venture. It is all necessary and to the benefit of the people we serve, but it is a lot to keep track of!!
Most of the inspection went very well. In fact we were thoroughly praised for the work we do and how well we document it. There were a few small glitches, but that is normal.
Someone I care about had a glitch and she is taking it hard. No one is angry or upset with her, but she is quite a perfectionist and expects the best from herself. It was just an administrative slip up and the world won't end.
Now, we must start preparing for another inspection from another source that will come in early May. Hopefully, most of the work that we have just finished will apply to this inspection too.
In the meantime, I am looking forward to having my daughter and her family move here. They are going to a nice condominium about 1 1/2/ miles from me. I will probably spend a good deal of time in the next few weeks helping them settle. That will be fun.....as long as I don't keep offering my opinion!

It's been so long.... and who is interested anyway?
My goodness... I haven't posted since JULY!?!?!?
I am having a hard time understanding why anyone would want to read my thoughts, but one of my girls encouraged me to do it. She is very literate and composes beautifully.
My life has been so busy lately.
Kids are moving back to Michigan. Son in Law has a new job. They have a new baby on the way.
I am working at a job which is more or less worthy of my college degree!!
I go see a friend in a nursing home nearly every day.
And I try to make time for all the important people in my life.
I am trying to lose weight a for the millionth time and have had some success, but not recently.
Daughter # 2 asked me why I want to lose weight...am I doing it for myself.... for what reasons that are mine and not for someone else or because of some societal norm. Now, it scares me that I am hard pressed to come up with a good answer!!
I will go back to my W.W. meeting tomorow and see what answers I can get.
