I will be getting another grandchild in December. Another little girl. I have been so fortunate to be able to babysit Leah for the last two years. She has started dance classes. She's the cutest little girl on the dance floor. (But then I might be a little partial). I have been having a very hard time giving up the past. I enjoy being a pharmacist and would have done that till I dropped dead in the pharmacy. But, God had other plans, and being the sinning human that I am, I wanted to do things my way. I have been seeing a therapist to help work out some of these issues. My internist (whose mother has similar eye issues and was a surgical tech at Lourdes ((hmmm, funny how things work out)) )suggested that I see a therapist for "pain management". Well....I finally agreed with the doubts that she could help. So, I started seeing Judith Ervin LCSW.... I had a really bad attitude going into the first appointment, but quickly changed my demeanor. Needless to say, I have benefited greatly from these appointments. She has helped me changed the way my thoughts were going. I have to accept where I am today and make the necessary changes in my life, to deal with what has been dealt me today. So, I am trying, and doing a much better job of it. I still want to go back and pick up the old me. I guess it is the greedy sinner...wanting to make the big bucks so I can buy things that I think I need (but actually just want). So, I digress, my life as it is today..... I plan to walk in the 5K Color Run in Memphis this October. That should be interesting. The couch potato that I am. But notice I said WALK. My foot still bothers me where I fell down the steps and fractured my metatarsal. But, where there is a will there is a way. If I have to crawl across the line, I will. Several others from my church will be running/walking as well. So, I guess they could carry me. He ain't heavy, he's my brother. I also started a knitted baby blanket for the new bundle of joy. I have been informed by Leah that the new baby's name will be Mao. We have been watching BabyFirst and they have a program called Mia, Mao. It is a clamation of two kittens. It really is quite cute. They have a catchy little song that goes with the program. It is stuck in my head FOREVER. John informed me one day this week that they were thinking about naming the baby, Mia. What a coincidence. Also....I almost forgot. John has been working on making me a farm table that will seat 12. Will, update on that later.
