Happy Birthday to Joseph! Oh dear and faithful readers of this blog, thank you. I have been stressed nearly to the max for the last month or so. It seems the challenges continue. I came to VA reluctantly (since I didn't really want to leave my little house) knowing I had to check my body out and close some doors. I have been to numerous doctors, two to go actually - a dermatologist and a hand doctor. My left thumb and wrist have been growling at me for several months. I had the thumb checked a year ago and injected. The pain miraculously (oh those steroids) disappeared only to come back with a vengance and extending into my wrist rendering my left hand almost useless. Those of you who know of my past work probably realize how much energy was funneled through that faithful left hand from others. Those of us who work in the lower energies of others generally suffer from some hand or wrist malady. Well, back to being in VA. It has been good to see my VA family. I spent sometime with my VT grandson and watched the Corp of Cadets parade on a gorgeous fall day in Blacksburg. I will get to see my granddaughter go on her first date, Homecoming dance at Patrick Henry this sat. night. She is a senior and a Hanover Scholar. I am very pleased with these two children. I will be staying with them at their home for a week while Bearfoot is in the care of the Cummins Atlantic people south of Richmond. It seems that I have a leak in the head gasket. It has to be removed and replaced. Not a simple procedure especially in an MH. The engine is under my bed. You can imagine, they will have to protect the entire coach inside from grease and oil. Please offer prayers that my insurance will cover this very expensive repair. I don't understand it since the mechanics all tell me what a nice clean engine I have and how it shows it has been cared for. Duh!!! So why is a head gasket worn out at only 31k miles?? I need to find out. Gene, if you are reading this, please email me with your thoughts. I certainly have not had the best luck with these machines. Maybe it is time to retreat and retire to my little cottage in the Adirondack foothills. I still have to be in Tampa to have the 30 day purchase warranty work done that they never got to do last spring. That appt. has been postponed later in Nov. After that, I will stay with my friends in Tampa who are in need of support and comfort right now. Good news is we have received at least 4" of rain in the last couple of days. It is exciting. You should have heard the thirsty birds singing the first day. I don't think any of us can realize the ramifications of this drought on the critters. I declined the botoxin injections for the first time in 9 years of receiving them every 3 mos. I pray my eyes will continue to improve as time goes on. It is kinda odd knowing as I do that stress is a huge contributor to this disease. Sooooo what is happening here? I think this stress I am going through now as bad as it sounds is something I deal with, it is the relationship stress and financial stress that seems to affect me the most. Don't get me wrong, I am quite lonely in my present state and certainly poorer than I have been in many many years but I feel confident in my Creator's care for me. Let me see if I can find a picture or two to post here before I check out. I have to buy the internet here at this park so have been only using it on a limited basis.Enjoy the pics of Virginia Tech and the video of the Highty Tighties.
