I went to Beading on Wednesday and one of the ladies suggested that I get a walker for the week I am dealing with the Eye problem. At first I laughed at the idea but later on in the day I was bending over and almost fell - so I guess a walker would be a good idea since I have to keep my head bent over so as to not dislodge the gas bubble they plan to put in my eye to help it heal.
I went to Zumba in the evening but the instructor was not too cool. I think she was a substitute.
On Thrusday 17 I went to breakfast with Juli and then on to Zumba at 9.30am. We had a substitute who is a yoga teacher - now how widely disparate can you get - slow moving Yoga to 'get your butt in gear' Zumba. Bill dragged me to a talk in Prescott Valley about preserving your mental acuity. It was more of a commercial for the rehabilitation center just across the way from the church where we met. It took two hours total - 30 minutes to drive to Prescott Valley, one hour listening to this lady do the live commercial for the rehabilitation center and 30 minutes back to Prescott. He knew I had an appointment with the personal trainer but he insisted that I go with him to Prescott Valley. We got home and there was no time for me to eat lunch, so off I went to the YMCA for the meeting. I needed to go to the store but had to get back home with the car so that he could take it to get the tyres checked. did not get to eat dinner because my friend Andrea came over to take me to a baby shower. It lasted way too long and we got home late and got to bed late and had to get up very early on Friday morning. I was exhausted but off we went to the Genealogy conference in Mesa. On the way to the conference we stopped at a dental office in north Phoenix to check out their services. I need to have two bridges in my mouth. Prior to going on Social Security we had dental insurance but the insurance would not pay for a bridge - they considered it cosmetic. It is not cosmetic - it is essential so that I can chew my food. Well, we have to pay for it out of pocket and the dentist in North Phoenix does it at third of the cost of the one we go to here in Prescott.
We went on to the conference and learned a lot. We stayed in a motel in Tempe and then early the next morning we were back at the conference for 4 more sessions of learning how to do Genealogy.
On the way to the conference on Saturday, our neighbor Carol called up and said that we had a water pipe burst and water was drenching her property. We asked her to call her handy man and she did and he fixed out water leak. Guess we will have a whopping water bill not to mention the cost of the repair.
Today is Sunday, 20th January and in my Sunday School class I teach, we had an interesting lesson. One of the illustrative stories was about a Prince who had been abducted and was being coerced by his captors to do things that ran contrary to his way of life and upbringing. I asked the question "Well, what would happen if he chose to do the wrong things his captors demanded. He would be disobedient to his fathers teachings." The little girl in my class piped up and said, "Well, no princess would marry a disobedient prince."
So there you have it. Obedience trumps everything.
David called up and told us he has now managed to obtain a laptop. Not only a laptop, but a snazzy one that has a terabyte of memory. It makes me wonder how long it will take him to fill that up - probably not too long at all. He also has skype and now we will not be out of range of him at all. He told us that the family he lives with will probably move to Queen Creek. In my mind that is almost to Yuma (meaning it is very far away from Prescott).
Sara and the children have tomorrow off - Martin Luther King Day as well as inauguration day for Barak Obama. Well, I have quilt guild meeting, Zumba, Bill has a doctors appointment and we have been invited to dinner at 5.30pm. Choices are numerous but good choices keep us sane.
