Hello, I just responded to your self esteem thread. So how am I? Well, I went swimming for the first ime this year in one of my favorite spots. So cold clear, fast moving river. Makes me connect to the universe. Lovely. I found out that my dear friend's child with cancer is so uncomfortable, in pain, unhappy. Not news, has been this way. Getting chemo in hospital. This is my babies best friend. She will be 17 in OCT and my youngest is 17 in Jan. Son is visiting from where he lives about 4 1/2 hours away. But, haven't really seen him because he has been out with a girl and we planned a special meal and he may not get home. It's okay, he is young and he really came to deposit my cat he had for the summer and to get money. His classes start on the 8th. My youngest went swimming with me and I love that she is so present, found a beautiful stone and when I got home my hubby was here and we chatted. He is mowing now. We live in a jungle I think. My lovely in laws have given us tax money for property taxes. That is huge. We will not be behind and maybe can stay on top of next years. My baby is scheduled for surgery on an elbow that is cracking and causing pain but MRI doesn't really show anything significant so I am taking her to a friend's wife who is a chiropractor on labor day for about the 8th opinion. I hurt my back thurs trying to catch and lift an elderly lady who was falling but it's all better now. I took all of the right drugs and went to bed so I am good. I had no money for yard sales today but hubby stopped and got me a little bear and I love it because I have 2 big bears that touch an inside part of me and this little one does too. I am struggling with the job but keeping my head above water I think. So this is my life. Not all, but a taste. Hope you are doing well. Wisewoman.
