Sudcaro that is awesome news on Miranda congrats. Do you think she'll get to start some kind of school soon? I bet she'll love being around all those children without hospital gowns on.
It's impossible right now because, although she is almost 4, she is still not potty trained. That's the one thing cancer treatments have prevented her from succeeding at, unfortunately. I know it will come, probably sooner than later, but it's an obstacle for school and other activities she would have enjoyed.
She started kid's choir a couple of weeks ago and she just loves it! She calls it music school because aside from the singing, the choir leader also teaches them things about music, rhythm etc. I'm glad she is able to do something she likes! And boy, does she love music.
I have a lot to think about and consider from my meeting with my new therapist. She may be a lot better then I gave her credit for. Every therapist is so different as is their approach. And of course this whole thing is new for me too--the grief thing. She is starting to dig into my life but in a good way--an interesting way. She is making me ask myself lots of questions about what I want...questions I have been asking for awhile now. At least I have someone to discuss it with now. It does hurt because I am so tired of being so easy and soft--hurt so easily. What happened to my self-confidence? My self worth.....Seems like it just vanished and I am not even sure when. Lots of work ahead for me it seems.
This post, and the one about hauling away the "stuff", makes me so, in a way, excited for you. You know the way hard work can leave us a bit sore, yet proud of our accomplishment? Like that. You rock.
A very down day today--So sad about others having problems....health etc...of course it's cold and cloudy with rain now and again which seems to add to the sadness. I'm trying to keep busy--busy--busy so I don't have time to think. Trouble is my body is tired now...I need to get a radio for some background sound maybe??

Cyn, do you have Direct Tv? Does whatever system you do have, have a music channels part? When I need to calm down I turn my tv to channel 884 (Direct Tv that is) for calming background noise. It is very Zen music.
Honestly I am not even sure how to work the tv anymore with the remote and all the things just to watch even the news. I had my service cut back to the absolute necessity to keep the cost to a bare minimum. It will probably still allow me to hear music but I will just have to figure it out. We have Dish. So many times when my DH was still alive he'd want to watch something but his poor hands and fingers could not push the correct buttons so he'd get the remote and tv all messed up---and I'd get upset and tell him I knew how to fix it--with a hammer! Wish I could take that all back but I still feel the same way. When it gets messed up with me the very last thing I want to do is call and have one of "their" techs" try to tell me how to repair it. I do not repair tv's! So that is what I tell them--thank Goodness I have a young man that lives next door that is good with it so he always tries to help me out. I just want an off and on button with an arrow that goes up and down. Why is that so difficult??? Enough of that. Music would be good. Once again my friend and I discussed her coming out to stay for a trial visit and possible move but she wants to wait until after the holidays now---to much air traffic she says. I think she wants to be sure I have time to get my life in order too. Figure out who I am a bit more. Not sure that is ever going to happen but I can hope.
