Thanks for the input, SRS and Andrea. I have decided to take Rog's advice and that of another friend who is very good at summing up the Big Picture, etc. I am going to pay it and may attend a three hour traffic school which I *think* would mean no points on my record. In the Big Scheme of Life, this is a blip and not worth making a big mtn. out of it. It does irk my sense of justice, but it's a battle I just don't need to pick at the moment.:-) (How's that for a jumble of metaphors?!:-)
I went to hand therapy, yesterday. He did ultrasound treatments and gave me some exercises to do, also to continue with Epsom salts soaks and paraffin therapy if I want. Went again, today and then to exercise. I was able to do more at the latter than on Monday, so there's progress. I go see a German orthotics specialist, tomorrow, just down the road.
Had Morgan, yesterday afternoon. We had so much fun. He wanted to play "spies." We started out outside, but he got stung by a bee, so we had to go to the "first aid station" i.e. the kitchen cupboard for baking soda for a poultice. He thought that was pretty neat. Then we played for about two hours inside. I drew him maps of his "missions" and lined him up with imaginary weaponry ala James Bond. It was a blast. He took the map home to show his parents.
I've been doing a lot of catching up on tasks involving the computer, tape dubbing, mailing, and filing. Starting out with a list each morning as I suddenly seem to have appts. and things to go do almost every day. Phew! This afternoon is my time to take a bit of a rest, then get back to it.
We had a very strong wind at one point yesterday. I didn't think much of it, but this morning I looked out at the backyard and a large limb was ripped downward on our weeping willow. It has a lot of branches full of leaves which, at the moment, are still green and draped over Rog's grape vine. It's been close to 100 degrees every day and will be for the foreseeable future. Rog will try to get out in the early morning this weekend to cut it down and up. The neighbour's goat will enjoy the leaves, etc. although I haven't seen her for a day or two and it looks as though they may be cleaning out to move. Their place looks like a junk collector's. They've had two huge dumpsters filled so far this year and there's still tons of stuff. Wonder if American Pickers would want to come round? **bg**
