Well I did do a number on my back or side to be exact. Then to exacerbate the issue they found pneumonia and fluid in my right lung–visiting the cancer I guess. But I’m on those antibiotics that choke a horse and give you horse trots too. I’ve been a good girl and staying quiet while I get better. Not accomplishing anything like work on my manuscript but this morning I did the crossword puzzle and because that made it a red-letter day . . . you guess it – red penned letters.
Also remember October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so get screened and do your soapy shower massage.
The kitties were glad to see me – raised an eyebrow in welcome.
Today I went out for breakfast with three friends from my old workplace–I’m ashamed to say the word government both state and federal. VOTE NOVEMBER 6, 2018! My son, Eric, drove me — he doesn’t think I’m good to drive yet but it turned out fine as we stopped at Ken’s Market in Monona and guess who was there–right, Ken. I remember Ken from the old days when I lived in Monona and I think he was my younger son, Jason’s scout leader. He is retired now too but it was my lucky day to catch him visiting. It’s always good to see people from my past, alive.
Unfortunately, another friend isn’t alive and I will miss her in my memories. A friend from my writing past in the 90s at The Writers’ Place on State Street. Peg Sherry was in my first critique group–a Fiction writing critique group. There were from five to seven of us and we all learned so much from each other–at least I learned from them. Peg was a bright light in our group and for many years after through her Christmas Card Poems. The last time I saw her was at a Canterbury Book Shop poetry reading. It was several years ago but there she was, red hat and big smile and there with a couple of the old group just to hear me! Since then Canterbury has been Avol’s and now is Room of One’s Own all recognizing the importance of poetry and poetry readings.
That’s it for me today. Perhaps I’ll have something more action-oriented next time.
