It's Sunday. What's New With You?
I was happy the Giants won, too ... two former White Sox players (although Uribe sure is playing better than he did the past few years for the Sox ... he has power but he shouldn't swing for the fences ... and he can play defense but sometimes has his head up his butt). But he had one hell of a play for the Sox in the World Series in 2005 ... well, actually two ... in game 4 that sealed the win for us. Good to see he's helping you guys out.
Should be a good series. Glad the Yankees and Phillies are outta there.

Julia I went to see Vince Gill several times and LOVED him!!! I hope you love him also!!! I have every one of his CD's that I know of!!! :-) When My ex husband Gary passed away last year I remembered he wanted Go Rest High On That Mountain so I took the CD and we played it at his grave for him. See I am not so bad...
Any how glad that you are getting around better and know that I have kept you in my prayers and thoughts even though I didn't post.

Good morning Cindy and everyone - had a bad, bad day yesterday. I had some furniture delivered in the morning and then turned on the TV. There was a program about four young women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. It was very sad to see that two of them were terminally ill - they had young kids and so wanted to stay around until the kids grew up. My heart broke for them. I started crying and felt really shaky while I watched the program, which surprised me because, as many of you know, I have had breast cancer, and I came out of that experience feeling very lucky. I had an "in situ" type of cancer that is not fast moving unlike one of my sister's who had a more aggressive type. I have never felt scared about the cancer - I know that sounds crazy, but that is the truth. So I could not understand why I was crying when watching the program on TV; then it dawned on me.
Earlier this week I mentioned a brownstone that I had made an offer on and someone beat me and purchased the property for much less than I had offered. I really had put a lot of mental energy into thinking of how much I would love living there in a few years when I really downsize and how much money I could make by renting it out in the meantime. I was gob-smacked, shattered, whatever you want to call it when I lost the deal and felt really bad for a day or two. I'm not much of a crier and I haven't had the opportunity to speak to my closest friend about this, so when I was watching TV, all of my feelings came out. I needed to cry and hadn't. I felt so much better after and went out for a while and picked up a few things that I needed and didn't need. It turned out to be a good day.
Isn't it funny how our minds work - apparently, I needed to cleanse myself of the sadness that I felt over the loss of the brownstone and it took watching and listening to young women who were in much worse shape than I am and who are suffering from a disease that I know all too well for the unhappiness to come out - maybe I cried a little for the woman who lost much of her right breast six years ago, too, because I haven't been able to cry for her before yesterday.
Have a great day!

Hi Cindy and my OFF family:
I'm on the phone with my brother Gary ... our weekly phone call; first, of course, I talk with my mom. She and Gary went to a movie last week ... Mom was amazed she could hear everything. They went to see "You Again." Gary gets Mom out of the house and at least dressed and washed up every day ... something she wasn't doing when he wasn't there.
No great-nephew (or grandnephew, whatever you want to call Alexander Glen Briesch) yet. He's late ... he takes after my brother's ex's side of the family ... they are always late. I was having dreams early this morning about my cell phone going off ... but when I got up this morning, no calls on it ... not that my nephew would have called on that phone, or called me at all, for that matter.
Work went OK last night, got done five minutes before deadline. Even though the one sportswriter forgot to give me her football boxes before she went to the game and put me behind. I swear, these reporters get away with stuff I never would have gotten away with as a reporter. But it's cool ... the antidepressants are working ... I just don't care anymore. Give me my paycheck and leave me alone.
It's cloudy and already has rained once today; the way my body feels, I think it will probably storm on and off all day today. Other than the body aches, it's good ... we need the rain. It's been very dry here.
Well, I need to finish reading the paper. Have a good day.

Good Afternoon, All
Better late than never. I'm not moving too quickly today. Bad choice of shoes yesterday causing a lot of foot trouble today. Guess I have to contact the podiatrist and talk seriously about scheduling the foot surgery after the first of the year...if I make it till then.....
I'll be leaving in a few minues for a local Oktoberfest celebration. I got talked into going in with two others on a $60 raffle ticket, and it came with two entries into the celebration. Since any raffle ticket I purchase never results in a win, I'm going to at least get some company and a decent meal out of it. Then, after leaving that I'll be going to my monthly Euchre game a few miles from there. Sometimes I have nothing going on for 3-4 days in a row, then I have several things on the same day. Gotta take it while I can.
I just went outside for the newspaper, and it's almost 70 degrees! Looks a lot colder than that, so I didn't go out before. Had I known, I would have left the house early and meandered to the Oktoberfest, just enjoying the weather. Oh, well. That'll teach me to not get dressed till after noon.
Everyone enjoy their day.
