Why is it so hard, despite one's position, to just treat other human beings as if they were part of the interconnected web of life in which you all have your parts?
People take free individuality too seriously and deny responsibility and reverence that is attached to the condition ...
There are flaws in individuality that allows for psychological integrations ... as psyche is despised as knowledge of dark, unknowns ... psychological integrations mostly beyond us, or myth, or like rare minds ... they believe in the subtle content of myths ... as a place to hide what's denied by bullish authority ... this approached kerygma ... a fiery disposition of soul that doesn't know where it is at due to passionate addictions ...
It is enough to amuse Gods darker total ides, or S(ides)! Close to an individual immersed in a world of excess wishing ... without a clue about the consequences thereof!

Bette, coz we get tired.
I know that at times, I fall victim to it, and I am sure others do to.
I get tired of people presuming they know alll the circumstances and what they see is what is truth.
I get tired of people takign shortcuts, or providing half the information, but when things turn out badly it is my fault.
Because of that, I fidn if I am tired I may not respodn as well as I should, doing exactly the thing that I put in the top two points.
So, you get a bunch of tired, nervous people, combined with enough incompetent, inexperienced, people...and sometimes a good person hits another god person on a bad day.

I discussed the actual follow up first. That was mostly good news.
Chemguy comes to some appointments. For this, he only came to my pre-admission appointment (whole day!), the surgery itself and then the day after - plus the time he took after to care for me.
I don't have anyone who would be free to attend most of them. I have a fair number and usually do ok on my own. For this it probably would have been good to see if he could have come. Always late there though - and it turns out they hadn't even booked me for today, but tomorrow. Mistake was definitely theirs and not mine, as no date was given, just day of the week. No way would I write Wed if they said Thurs!
Rye humour about someone trying to figure out what's wrong with excessive busy Ness ... the oncoming arrest ... so you can stop up (bunged) and see what's going on in the car tunes ... a carried all about ewe in aeries ...
Some people never love understanding such necessary humour ... albeit dark! Some say things you shouldn't know ... and thus it is off there again!

Good, delightful morning to you all. I'vee had a good night's sleep (a rarity for people with Parkinsons, I've learned).
So - for breakfast I've set out a pretty cut-glass bowl of stewed rhubarb and strawberries, vanilla yogurt, bananas and whole wheat toast. Coffee is on of course.
Did you notice that lately the sky is bright by 5:30 am, and the sun is up by 6:00. Good things about spring/summer.
Writers' Group this afternoon. I haave a short story to read. I think it is good, but I'm open to constructive criticism and hints of how to improve it. I wish there was some way to share it with you. (8 pages long)

This is the rhubarb season right across this land. I just popped in with some rhubarb cake to share. Knowing it was to be a gift to the Room, I was very generous with the sprinkling of sugar on top. So cut yourself a generous chink and sit for a while.
Hi everyone
I haven't posted much the past two months but I am happy to say after 8 long weeks I'm home from hospital! It's interesting that I don't ever know how sick I was until I'm better! I feel quite good - I still get overwhelmed easily and am tired but the more I do the better this should become.
Tomorrow I go to the Orthopaedic Surgeon who will (finally) decide if my wrist is busted! It's been a very humbling experience and a good reminder how tough things are for some among us. With any luck the half cast comes off and I move into a brace. If not 9 or so weeks in a cast.

Hugs, justme. Lovely to 'see' you. Hope you get lucky withe the wrist thing; you need to get some bone building herbs into your tea. http://www.motherearthliving.com/health-and-wellness/preventing-osteoporosis-bone-building-tea.aspx
Strawberries are going to be ready a week or two early this year, it looks like, so let the brief strawberry rhubarb pie baking commence! (I love it Mennonite style with a crumble topping, and I still use a lard crust, which is amazingly flaky.)

Ummmmmmmm- strawberries!!!!
I make a strawberry shortcake like item that is easy and always greatly enjoyed.
You need some English style shortbread- the stuff that is like cookies. I sometimes make my own with a shortbread recipe but use whole wheat flour - it makes it crunchier.
You need some fresh strawberries, cut up a bit if they are huge
You need some thick cream or whipped cream.
It is best if put together and immediately eaten so put out the fixings and some bowls and let people help themselves..
The mix of crunchy biscuit, fresh fruit and smooth cream is VERY delightful to MY mouth!

I hosted the summer party of my quilting guild this evening. Potluck dinner-but group paid for the ribs I cooked. I did 3 kinds Barbeque, ginger/pineapple and maple/honey. All in crockpots as it was a work day. I borrowed a crockpot.
I started the sangria yesterday- I feel very adult as it's the first time I made sangria. My recipe was great 12 oz frozen sweet cherries 1/3 cup amaretto, 1 bottle muscat wine (I used barefoot). Make the day or 2 before- serve 2/3 mixture with 1/3 seven up. Yummy!
and soft lemonade with frozen cherries for the non-drinkers.
As I was shopping I bumped into a local chef and he gave me a fancy recipe for corn on the cob.
Lovely night-9 of us were here. Did the very brief AGM.after dinner and before dessert. Played 1 game.
Lots of laughter.
My son -at home-came down and enjoyed filling his plate from the variety of food

I haven't posted much. I am going through a separation. His decision. We had a lot on our plates just buckling under the pressure. I don't really want to talk about it in case he's reading and I just actually don't want to get into it. I feel angry, sad, betrayed, disappointed, scared, ashamed...trying to hold it together.
Going to find a support group to go to, and seeing a counsellor next week. I may visit a relative this summer, do a little family reunion road trip with her, and make our way back to BC as we visit people along route (right now I am embarassed at the thought of seeing people who only sent wedding congratulations, it seems like yesterday, the last we were in contact) . She's been good support. She just had foot surgery so it depends on the next 5 weeks for her. But I may visit anyway to just have a break.
