I am at the other secretary's desk today. She let me know yesterday afternoon "you know I am on leave tomorrow, right?" No, I didn't know. I plan my work out. I recieved 5 boxes of supplies to unpack, more are coming, it is timekeeping week, my health is still not the best, I do not need these type of surprises!! So I sit here today; time is input. I have some meeting minutes to type, and that is about all I can get done for today. Yuck.

Ok,if you don't want to read the next part, you can skip- my body still isn't back to normal-processing food way to fast-and too violently! So now I am on to yougurt, gatorade, egg drop soup or ramen and lots of immodium.

Had last counseling session yesterday afternoon. I think hubby and I got a great deal out of these sessions. Some of it will stick as she wanted and other bits we will adapt to our way. But we found out that we have been making a mistake. We stopped having solely 'date times'. Our date times have been combined with runs to Walmart and grocery store-chore type things. Our homework now, is to plan date nights/days/weekends or whatevers and to alternate who has charge of the planning. When we did "do dates" we would confer and then agree-now we can surprise each other. Timing will be the key-and funding!!
Some of the discussion was on communication-hubby has to accept that when I say "I can't talk about this right now-it means that I may not have the words right now to say what I am feeling accurately." I need to learn to bring up things sooner than later. I can drop things on him at the last minute-not a good thing.

I know you all are tired of this topic-but a lot of things have been learned. Do I still feel caged? No. I understand more of myself now- why I needed to escape to reading, it wasn't really just for the joy of reading. It was escaspism at it's worst. Now, I can read for the joy of it!! I can be with my husband-in his company, enjoying it again. That is what had gone missing. You have to nurture some of those feelings, and sometimes just loving someone isn't enough by itself.

Saturday we are going to the Star Wars Concert-afternoon showing but we need to be there before 11:30am-he won the tickets for it!!! found out that he will need to park his wheelchair in one spot and walk to his seat, but we have seats on the floor, section 1A, row 15, seats 13/14 (I think-he has the exact info) in the Verizon Center. He won the tickets. We are really excited about going-we get early atmittance to the show-the displays and we get to sit early and after the show (2:pm) we are going out to eat. There is a fish restaurant that I have been wanting to try since I got here and it is right across the street from the venue-that is where we are going. Hope it is good.

I will be working on my book this weekend-Moonshine to Moonshine. The back story notes at least. I have a lot of it in my head-SCI/FI Fantasy. The other one will get written, just too many corrections-including the basic premise-I need to figure out where the protagonist is going and I can't, so she needs to sleep awhile.

I also need to graph out the Tree of life afghan-I am at a point now where I can't do it without some type of guide-well, tape & graph paper will work fine.

Oh Yeah, we had an earthquake this morning. Now, I know rhubarb-not big news for you, but big news for us. 3.6; and it did rattle us a little. I was already up and getting dressed so no real noticing, nothing off the shelves-just sounded/felt like a real large truck too close to the building. All computers working, all lights on (shucks-if power went out they would've had to send us home!)

Have a great weekend all!!
