Not doing much other than the computer - I get up in the morning to see if Mahmoud has been released. Then get hooked into computer to see what else is happening - hoping for something good. Just in last couple days, I go on discussions and find people speaking my mind- finally! I hope we can make some progress toward sanity...

As for decluttering - I beed to start in again as the house has gone down hill a bit. I have had some good days and then a bunch of not so good. What I eat makes a difference - if only I could remember before energy level drops too far. My eyes start bothering me - burning and hard to read. The dark choc helps ... but then too much is not helpful either!!

Trouble standing up from the loo - bum knee was getting worse until I feared - literally - that I would not be able to manage. When knee started to ache, I remembered the Chiropractor in Bancroft suggesting Arnica. I had bought a bunch and !!! remembered where I stashed it - started getting better after the first dose!! So, after two days - no problem!

Fear of crossing the border is rational - one Canadian woman had an ICE experience; fortunately just a couple days. Louise Penny cancelled her new book tour of the USA and just told her fans "Don't" and promised a US tour when things sort out. I was trying to get enough strength to attend wedding of Grandson in PA on 1 June... Things will have to get an awful lot better ... maybe but it scares the stuffing out of me.

I do hope to get to Bancroft on third Saturday for the big community event - music, people! And a bit of time at Beaver, depending on how many days Robin can spare. I have med appointments on 7th, 9th and 24th; none since January so this will be a new round, possibly new med. I just want to feel moderately OK - sometimes I do. Sometimes I just sit with computer all day - looking for something better, forgetting to listen to good music...
