I RECENTLY WENT ON A TRIP. ON MY TRIP, WE VISITED IDAHO (& MK’S CHILDHOOD FRIEND ON A RANCH), & WENT 2 MY BROTHER’S WEDDING IN UTAH. I DID VOCALIZE A LOT AT TIMES (THOUGH, I WAS 2 SICK AT MY BROTHER’S WEDDING 2 DO MUCH)–I LIKED FREAKING OUT PEOPLE, & IF I WAS ALONE, I SOMETIMES “SANG” W/THE RADIO.

4 AN EARLY B-DAY PRESENT, I GOT AN I-PAD JUST B4 WE LEFT. 4 THE 1ST TIME IN 6 YRS., I TRULY VACATIONED! AT TIMES I HAD NO INTERNET, SO I PLAYED TONS OF GAMES (FINISHED MY 1ST SODUKO GAME), LISTENED 2 BOOKS, WATCHED MOVIES, & SINCE IT WAS NEW, I EXPLOARD WHAT IT COULD DO…MY FAV. DISCOVERY WAS PLAYING MUSIC AS I PLAYED GAMES

I’M STILL WORKING OUT THE BUGS SO I CAN TYPE, SO I MOSTLY JUST READ EMAILS & RARELY USED THE SPEAKING PROGRAM (IF I DID, IT WAS 2 READ AN EMAIL I CUT & PASTED). BUT I LOVE IT THOUGH. IT’S WONDERFUL. IT MADE THE VACATION MORE BEARABLE, & ALLOWED ME 2 HAVE MY OWN VACATION–I NEVER PLAY GAMES, BUT CERTAIN 1S, I SHOULD! & IT WAS GREAT SPIRITUALLY, BECAUSE I GET DAILY EMAILS FROM READTHESCRIPTURES.COM (I SO RECOMMEND THEM, AS I CAN READ ENLARGED TEXT, AS I LISTEN & HIGHLIGHT, THOUGH ON THE I-PAD, I JUST LISTENED. & I ONLY GET REMINDERS UNTIL I READ/LISTENE), & IT MADE ROUGH DAYS BETTER.

LAST FRI., I HAD A MEDICAL PROCEDURE. IT WAS AN OUTPATIENT PROCEDURE/SURGERY, SO NO CUTS. THE BAD PART SEEMS BEHIND ME. I WAS SO SICK AT 1ST (EMBARASSING, AFTER 3 BABIES W/NO DRUGS, BEING AWAKE AS MY THROAT WAS CUT 4 A SURGERY, & MORE), BUT I WANTED 2 BE ALONE–I WASN’T UP 2 TALKING, EXCEPT 2 MK. HE WAS AWESOME WHILE I RECOVERED! BUT FEEL PRETTY GOOD NOW, JUST WEAK, & NOT SURE IF I’M WEAK FROM 2 1/2 WEEKS OFF, OR FROM THE PROCEDURE! LOL STILL, I DID MUSIC THERAPY WED.

FYI, ON MY WEBSITE, THERE’S ASL CHART (MADE W/MY HAND, & THE HANDS R UPSIDE DOWN, 4 THOSE SITTING ACROSS FROM ME), IT’S ON THE FAR RT., UNDER SCRAPBOOKING, CALLED “JENNY-ESE ASL “, & IT’S PRINTABLE. BUT MY GOAL IS 2 MAKE A SECTION ON THE RT., & INCLUDE SOME ASL TIPS I TYPED 4 THE YOUNG WOMEN AT CHURCH. IT WOULD PROVIDE GREAT REVIEW 4 “OUT-OF-TOWNERS”, SO I DON’T GET AS WIPED OUT. I C AN BE PATIENT–HECK, I GET 2 TALK!-BUT GOING 2 SLOW EXHAUSTS ME!
