hard to get past wanting to get out there and SWIM the speed-stroke, but... I'm content to just FLOAT for now.
Thanks Kay, needed this today.

Sandy, you and Jim always see the coolest people! Congrats on scoring the concert tickets.

Renee, Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Of course, My hubby and I are both bed hogs when we're sick. LOL, no one gets any sleep at my house when that happens. So totally understand.

TK, hope the breaks in cleaning help keep the hug as a squeeze.

Vonn, hope things work out for ya.

Frank, Totally understand the feeling that acceptance feels like defeat. But I'm learning that acceptance and changing things around are actually helping me plow through everything. Of course, I HATE change, so I have a tendancy to fight it.

Today was a little scary driving. Went to pick up our tax forms, and had problems with feeling how soft or hard I was pressing on the peddles.

It's making me worried about how long I can keep doing it. I make sure there's plenty of distance between me and the car in front, but it's still nerve wracking.

What will be, will be. Think I'll definitely talk it over with hubby tonight. This, unfortunately, is not the first time I've had issues with driving. The drop foot is on the right, and sometimes it will kick in at the most unexpected moment.

If you want to watch out for me, I'm the maniac in a black murano racing down the road. LOL.
