We had a visit to the stroke clinic on Friday, I think they are very pleased with DH's progress. His blood work is great and that is all good. However, he expressed concern. (DH, not the doctor)
His concern is what if it happens again? I am sure this is a totally normal reaction to any life event. I think this is a human behavioral response to anything in our life that is out of the ordinary. Car accident? Nervous about getting behind the wheel. Heart attack? Am I overdoing this or that to cause another attack?
You know, I once hurt my back while washing windows on the outside of the house, so therefore, I am no longer going to do housework. I know that sounds silly, but I think we really sometimes over- react to circumstances beyond our control. But then, it doesn't matter how we know something is silly in our head: The heart thinks what it does.
So on that note I decided this was going to be about funny stuff.In honor of the End of Summer, I decided to review all my notes to myself I have made on my phone "note" app so far this year:
Feb 18th: Noted a new friend's birthday
March 9: I was in the hospital and met a nurse who had a farm, copied down his CSA address (have yet to do it, thinking we were gone all summer and didn't need produce then)
Mar 14th: Was celebrating one of my granddaughter's birthday. She got my note pad and wrote this: "K rocks a lot of course she does and Noni and Grandpa and mommy and daddy and of course me again." That makes me smile when I read that, it has to stay.
April 6th: DH has had a stroke, affecting vision, at hospital having MRI and scan. (Now this was a sucky day!)
April 7th: Has had a good night, motor skills.speech not affected, vision loss (funny I was so succinct, inside I am dying)
April 14th: This note says: "They're real." What the heck???? Then I realize it's the name of a mascara hahaha
April 23rd: Doc appt for DH, summary of tests
June 7th: Movie titles (when we go to movies we watch trailers of previews and I sometimes forget what I want to see, so now I write them down during the previews. This is a significant date because it is the first time we went to the movies, post stroke due to vision loss)
June 18th: Someone else's bday
July 5th More movie titles!
July 18th: found a new restaurant at the coast, wrote down how amazing it was, and when it is open...http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Irish-Table/140118542730248
July 18th: Notes for my blog as we traveled and I saw funny things
July 21st: An especially good wine that DH had at a restaurant (Abiqua Wind Pinot Noir Rose)
July 22nd: Another yummy wine (Troon Flying White wine)
July 27th: A magazine website that encourages children to cook (http://www.chopchopmag.org/)
July 28th: Funny website: http://surisburnbook.tumblr.com/ (This is funny because it makes fun of celebrities who are famous for being famous)
July 31st: More movie previews, but this one has Denzel!!!
Aug 7th: a list: Mini vac, Sin Dawg, warranty. http://www.daveskillerbread.com/killer-bread/sin-dawg.html
Sin Dawg is disgustingly amazing bread, I have no idea what I meant by warranty, as for the Mini Vac, didn't locate it.
Aug 11,12,17, Notes to myself for blog and/or movie previews. We are forming a pattern here.
August 18th: Listening to DH's shortwave radio, a dispatcher for some police department in California said: "A man wants to blow up the earth because it interferes with view of Saturn" I do believe there is a story in that. I wonder if he will succeed. Ain't nothing coming between me and Saturn people!
Aug 22: Listening to a comedian: (Mitch Hedburg) he was closing out his bit and he said: "I've got a roll of fruity Life Savers in my pocket: Pineapple is next." I swear I don't know how many times I said that to myself as a kid.
Aug 24th MORE MOVIE PREVIEWS what is this????Aug 28th: I have no idea of the context, but I heard this and I laughed and laughed:
"Valium of the Month Club" If there isn't one, there SHOULD be, don't you agree?
And one more thing! last night on TV they were talking about back-to-school shopping and this sweet young mom says that on her kid's list was this: PeeChee type of folder.
And then she said the UNTHINKABLE: "I don't even know what that is" WHAT THE HECK?
Seriously????????
THIS is a PeeChee. As you can tell, women are only allowed to play TENNIS and wear cute skirts and men can run track and play football. Have they not heard of Title IX???? (the backside is worse, boys playing baseball and basketball ,a girl riding a ski lift. Ho Hum.)
Herewith is a funny version of the famous "PeeChee" called Bike Hugger
