Some progress
Mon Jan 17 2005

Started in on the mess around my computer, and made significant inroads in the pile that keeps threatening to topple. Anyone walking into this chaos wouldn't be able to tell the difference, but I can. The trash pile has increased about six inches, if that gives you any indication.

There's still about that much more to file or toss, but at least I got started.

Turned out to be a pretty nice day after all. Saw a cartoon in the local paper that says it all. Since I can't copy and print, you'll have to be satisfied with a verbal description. Unhook your imaginations...

First panel:
Dark clouds, lightning, rain.
Caption: RAIN

Second panel:
More of the same.
Caption: RAIN

Third panel:
More of the same, except less lightning.
Caption: GO

Fourth panel:
More rain, no lightning.
Caption: AWAY.

Fifth panel:
More rain, but not quite as much
Caption: COME

Sixth panel:
Still raining, but clouds lessening
Caption: AGAIN

Seventh panel:
Clouds thinning, rain lessening
Caption: SOME

Eighth panel:
Clouds dissipating, rain a lot less, bit of sunshine in upper corner
Caption: OTHER

Ninth panel:
No clouds, no rain, sun shining.
ON SECOND THOUGHT -- DON'T CALL US, WE'LL CALL YOU.

***********
Shoulder and arm a little achy but not spasming today. Is there hope?

Shalom

    I miss your picture.. what happened to it?
    You may have to reload it.. Do you have a free pix share place.. I use ripway.com
    They are free.. You just upload you pix and then copy and paste the entire address into your dd where you want the pix and wallah.. Like magic.. There you have it
    Good luck

    Yes, there is hope! I know with my stupid back, when it's at its worst it seems as though it will never end. Then the day comes where I don't even notice - oh do I love that day! I hope that day comes soon for you. It does sound as though you are healing.

    On the leaving message thing, I wish that it was set up different so you could read better, but there's not a way to change that anywhere that I know of so you can read the comment easier. I am going to ask if that can be a system change, because I like to use a contrasting background and I know sometimes it can be hard to read your comment before posting. In the meantime a trick I've learned when I've come across that is to highlight the text portion - it makes it readable.

    It is unbelievable what is going on with the weather in many places. My sister said she saw the mudslides from her deck, she was that close (in Santa Barbara). Floods in Utah, avalanches - I hate to ask what else!

    I hope you are comfortable and have all that you need.

    Love,
    Anne

    hey, of course there is hope. How would we survive otherwise?! "You've gotta have hope. Without hope life is meaningless. Without hope life is meaning less and less..."
    I like cartoon thing - I can see certain phylosophy in it...;-)
