In my recent memory...

That when all else fails… you should go silly! Last night I received a phone call during watching Bones, yep, I bet you all were watching Dancing with the Stars or The Voice, hmm? But not us, too much of all that good stuff and fun and competitiveness, give me instead a nice gushy body lying in a park to try and find the who in the who dun it, and I am in my glory! Did I mention that I once wrote a whole novella series of mysteries? Any-who, Bones suffices my need to try to find out with exceptional quality writing comparable to one of my many fine favorite authors, but this one I am referring to, is Patricia Cornwell. Anyways while watching the programming the phone call was from someone I did not know even with the caller I.D. working, you know that’s what it does, it tells you who but never how or if you know them or where from; I believe that it is a bit incomplete in my view, ya know? Hubby answered and said it was such and such and that she was the person from the free clinic where I applied to help out one day a week, gosh a few weeks or months ago, at least it seems that way to me, but I don’t really recall. But that’s not important the important part is she wants me to come in for a look see, actually a meeting on one day this week… and I said yes. Now she is the coordinator of the volunteers and we sort of hit it off via the telephone, but did we really? The office there is rather small and I have equipment that needs to be with me, like my walker. And then I have in recent years become a wee bit germ-a-phobic due to having three autoimmune ills, Multiple Sclerosis, Sjogren’s and Hyperthyroidism which all makes me more susceptible to catching something and not having a good outcome. I have had my flu and pneumonia shots but not the other ones for working with sick people, inoculations. That’s why my last two IV steroids of 1000 mg Solu-Medrol for three day courses were done in my home that and the fact it was much more cost effective to have a nurse come in and set it up here. And the fact that when I did have it done in the hospital I ended up with an infection so severe I needed to be on heavy doses of Cipro, you know the one they give for Anthrax! What was I thinking? My heart was in the right place, but I suppose I didn’t think it out as well as I should have. And today my body told me again that it may be a big mistake. I have been unable to walk most of the day; in fact I spent most of today in bed. All because of severe pain in my lower back and numbness in all my extremities, absolutely no fun! Stress again I suspect with a bit of fear thrown in. My only concern is that Geez, I just had spasms through the roof sitting here! What I started to write, by the way I did forget to take my after dinner dose of my Baclofen and Hubby just delivered it here to me at the computer where I am sitting, but you all knew that... Gosh pain makes you think oddly, hmm? Well, my only concern was the reliability of someone like me to be there when they need me. That’s why I originally stopped working, since being in management most of my life I wouldn’t hire someone who you never knew if they would be able to show up, and yes, I do know they’re laws against that way of thinking. But I deal with my own realities as well we all should. You see, that’s why I did go whole hog on the volunteer thing and figured if anyone should understand they should…WOW did you see what I wrote…I just answered my own question, hmm? Oh well… it is more than satisfying to have this format as a sounding board…but those ills were not contagious, autism, Downs Syndrome, CP, arthritis, MS, heart disease, cancer…oops still not sure…guess I will have to sleep on it. Where’s the silly I promised? It’s got to be somewhere? Oh that’s right, I am the SILLY! For worrying, since when I go in I will be turned down due to me taking up too much room in the small space…anyway! And talking way too much and not very good at keeping secrets anymore, if ever! See, dumb idea, what was I thinking? Now, you tell me who won his war of words with me; because I truly don’t have a clue. LOL! Maybe I should punt and allow whatever will be, be…or call and cancel… I will let you all know the outcome… after all, it is only one day a week… and I always complain I have way too much time on my hands…? On that way too complicated for me conundrum, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
