9 Moons Ago

Thanks for the get-well wishes and calls. I’m getting around better now, sleeping through the night, and in much less pain. Tomorrow we’re off to Eltham to see the doctor again and I’ll see what the next step of recovery shall be…

Was so sad to hear that Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) has died. I really liked him and his work, and can’t imagine how devastating this must be to his family and friends. It just doesn’t seem possible…he was so full of energy and life. (Mom, I know you’ll be sorry to hear this too.) Though he and his wife were aware of the dangers of their line of work, it probably still comes as a great shock. I’m sure the good work that he initiated will continue on in his memory…

Thanks again to del4yo for the border pattern on this one!

Typing with one hand takes a while, but I can afford to take that extra time since there are a lot of things I can’t do right now. Like gardening!!! Arghhh..way to drive me crazy!! :-)
