Library day and can we talk?

The reason I am asking if it’s OK if we talk, just you and me, is because it is about my physical health issues and I didn’t want to lay the information on someone who wasn’t really interested. So I take it from your silence that it is all right with you for me to continue in this vein of conversation? Good.

I have been trying half heartedly to not mention what has been going on with me because I do know that to some people it could be considered a very boring topic, my ills.
But I think it is only fair to explain why a few days ago I mentioned the need to go back to see my neurologist, right? PS: I have an appointment for next month.
Only fair correct?
Well, here goes, I have been having more muscle spasms than I have had in a very long time, and find myself taking the Baclofen, anti-spasmodic medication, more often than not, and I was doing so well without it.
The other problem is a wee bit more disturbing to me and it has to do with endurance, being able to stand for any length of time, well sadly that has diminished to minutes too, with numbness in my legs causing me the need to sit before I fall.
But yet if I am sitting I also get the numbness too, as well as if my legs are straight down in a seating position, in other words I am damned if I do and damned if I don’t.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I suppose making the doctor’s appointment was the best idea, eh?

Moving on… today we also returned some and got out a few more books from our library branch, and then went over to see what was up at the adjoining building, our Cultural Center.
They have an easel in their lobby telling you what is going on today, and so I noticed there was one organization or group that I was unfamiliar with and I decided to ask the ‘Golden Girls’, senior white haired volunteers behind the counter, and they did not know.
That only made me more curious to find out who The Charlotte Community Foundation was, that’s me the nosey one!
They were meeting in room E, and so I scootered down there to find out, but no one was there yet, the meeting was scheduled for 11 A.M., and when the people did finally start to stroll in, I asked, and received an answer from the Manager of Marketing & Nonprofit Resources: edavis@CharlotteCommunityFoundation.org, Ed Davis, he was able to tell me that they help nonprofit organizations in finding and keeping volunteers, attain networking resources and the like. And so my curiosity was satisfied and I felt the need to acquire a few business cards to pass along, and I did. I also let those Golden Gals know about the mysterious group too, although they did not seem as interested in that information as I was.
Just call me the town crier.

Oh I almost forgot to tell you all about my big shopping spree!
At the Cultural Center they also have a few different types of shops besides so many other things, classes theater, restaurant, etc. but today I went into their little handmade items gift shop, and purchased an adorable tiny 4”X6” picture of a Teddy bear playing a violin, it made me think of my niece who passed away back in 2006, she played the violin as a child. And so I asked how much it was, since I couldn’t find any price on it and the additional Golden Gal who appeared to be in charge of the shop went in the back and asked a few other elderly cuties, and came back with the very appropriate price that was to my liking of two bucks, you made a sale, I said!

I have another project in the works; so be here next time for that update!

On that silly note I will wish you all a good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!

PS the people from our refuse company came early this morning, at six fifteen A.M. and did pick up our yard waste
