A FELLOW STROKE SURVIVOR SAID: RECOVERY DOES HAVE IT’S SIDE EFFECTS. MORE IS EXPECTED OF YOU AND YOU RUN OUT OF TIME TO SPEND ON THE COMPUTER.
I BELIEVE IT! I THINK I’M STARTING ON THAT PATH. MY WEBSIITE PUSHES ME 2 THANKFULLY WRITE, AS MY POSTS DOUBLE AS JOURNAL ENTRIES! I USED 2 STRESS ABOUT UNWRITTEN EMAILS. NOW I PICK & CHOOSE WHAT GETS A RESPONSE (NO OFFENSE IF I DON'T RESPOND 2 SOME1, BUT I HAVE 2 PICK BECAUSE MY 1 FINGER CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH!) & MY GOALS I SET R “2 WRITE 1 PARTICULAR EMAIL” SO I FEEL GOOD ABOUT MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT DAY & CAN HAVE THE FREEDOM 2 RESPOND 2 AN UNEXPECTED EMAIL! A GOOD DAY IS IF I READ ALL MY NEW EMAIL & RESPOND 2 JUST 1 EMAIL! I HAVE EMAILS SAVED 2 WRITE & SEND FROM LAST AUG.! (SORRY IF U GET 1—I'M SLOWLY DELETING WHERE I CAN!) I WISH SO BAD I TYPED W/MORE THAN A FINGER SO I WAS FASTER OR COULD CALL!

WE CURRENTLY HAVE VISITORS—MARK'S PARENTS & A NEPHEW. I’VE REALLY ENJOYED THEM BEING BEING HERE & HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IT! IT’S AMAZING HOW MUCH TIME IS DEVOTED DAILY 2 FIA PLAYING, LISTENING 2 STORIES, ETC.–I’M SURE IT ISN'T REALIZED, SINCE I'M OFTEN ALONE, SOME1 LIKE POOR MARK OR CARA (WHO'S MY HANDS & FEET) GETS INNUNDATED W/EMAILS FROM ME ON A GOOD DAY (SOMETIMES I'VE BEEN WRITING A SENTENCE HERE & THERE, ON SEVERAL EMAILS 4 DAYS, THEN A GOOD DAY HITS & THEY GET ALL THOSE EMAIKS), & I SEEM 2 ALWAYS SIT AT THE COMP., BUT A LOT GOES ON THAT IS PROB. NOT AWARE ARE OF! SO I’M TOTALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HAVING CO. 4 MY KIDS HERE! I GUESS THIS IS MY VACATION! I DESPERATELY NEEDED IT!

NEXT WEEK MY FAMILY HAS A REUNION AT DISNEYWORLD, SO I'M UNSURE IF I'LL WRITE, BUT MAYBE I CAN POST SOME SCRAP. PGS. (2 WERE A JOKE & I HAD 2 HURRY & DO THEM & 2 I MADE WHILE TEACHING DIGI. SCRAP.). MARK & I R IN CHARGE OF THE REUNION & MARK'S KINDLY DRIVING SOLO 2 ORLANDO! (FLYING IS HARD ON NE 4 SEVERAL REASONS I WON'T GO INTO!)
