A Poster Girl with No Poster

I have volunteers to help me move! Yeh!

Of course, many are about my age with similar shoulder, back, knee, and elbow problems so I’m providing Ibuprofen and hot and cold packs instead of beer and pizza.

Plus there is the technical difficulty that I may not have anywhere to move to. I did and I still might, but I also might not. That’s about as much as I want to get into it.

Good thing I have friends with couches.

Just hoping for the best. I’ve had several knock downs this week and a couple lucky breaks so I’m pulling for another lucky break.

Unfortunately, I’ll have to wait until next week to find out what’s next. My stomach is not liking this.

But how bad can it be? After all, I have a new friend.

And I got some fun cloud shots.

And I had an awesome time going out with a friend this week and ran into a friend I haven’t seen for over 5 years and made a new friend (besides the tree frog).

So whatever happens, I’m still having more fun, believe it or not, than I’ve had in a long time.

I ran across this Ani DiFranco song. She’s not everyone’s cup of tea but some of her song lyrics are the best. This is one example. I like the attitude. I like the idea of being 32 flavors. And I like the part about being a phoenix rising out of the ashes.

And the best part? The pink braids! If only my hair was long again…

I was hoping the next time I posted I’d be announcing that I had purchased a house and the process was running smoothly. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. I ended up with a seller that really doesn’t seem to want to sell. I expected counter-offers and stressful negotiations, but I didn’t expect the sellers to…

Boarding for Horses… Check!

Happiness is essentially a state of going somewhere, wholeheartedly, one-directionally, without regret or reservation. — William H. Sheldon I found a great place to board my horses! Huge sigh of relief. It’s farther out than I had planned but worth the drive. I think the most important thing about a boarding facility is the person running…

Piano My fingers Are they really mine? Disembodied Not as strong  Or limber As they were Well-worn sheet music As familiar  As my daily route And yet The surroundings  Have changed I start and stop Play Waiting for neurons To remember To click For muscle memory To kick ass The fingers reach  And stroke keys…

I went to church choir practice on Wednesday. I used to sing and play flute at the church I went to a year and a half ago, before I gave up church because I thought my religious beliefs were another thing separating my husband and I. Wrong again. But now I’m going to a different…

  2. Fun – I’m so glad that you’re having some. And, what a cool tree frog!

    My fingers are crossed that a house turns up soon.

  3. With so many things hitting at once, about all a person can do is laugh and make sure they get out and enjoy time with friends and family, both human and animal. Plus the freedom of not being judged and criticized is amazing!

  4. The difference in your attitude about things is amazing. Stuff no longer knocks you back on your butt, you’re way stronger! You = phoenix!!
    I’m glad to hear you’re finding happiness amid all the changes and stress. 🙂

  6. I love Ani Defranco ~ Untoucable face and her version of amazing grace are awesome.

    I hope the the move is calm and that your find your new home soon. : )
    *Comfy couches are so bad when you have good friends.

  11. Lisa – thanks for the video link! Made me cry because I’m trying so hard to believe this will all work out eventually but it’s so scary in the meantime. But I truly appreciate your thoughts.
