Our life is slowly morphing into a different form. Two things are driving this. One is that I am feeling better. I sleep a lot, but eat and do little, but I can and do – do things. The second thing is that I no longer have a schedule, what with my release from the rehab facility and the falling apart of the insurance supported out-patient rehabilitation. So, as I gain the strength to do more – I don’t have to do anything. How strange is that? Yes, we have much to do but that isn’t the same as having to do something.
In keeping with this notion, today was a slow day until afternoon and evening. We went to the Rehab center to play music (this is the place I spent so much time after Jan 20th and where they taught me to walk again. It is always special to go back there to entertain. Also, tonight was the second night of final presentations for Intermediate GIS. This too was a real treat. I went because I could, not because I had to.
We will probably not have any news till Sunday, because nothing much is happening tomorrow, except for calls about insurance and maybe my walker will be delivered. We’ll see. Saturday will be so busy that we likely won’t get a blog written till Sunday. We are going to play (music group, Kittitas Valley Fiddlers and Friends), at a retirement community, for their St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
Tentative play list (with Irish music mixed into our normal fare), is below:
1. WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING; 2. IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME; 3. RAKES OF MALLOW, COTTON-EYED JOE, SKIP TO MY LOU; 4. MY WILD IRISH ROSE; 5. WILDWOOD FLOWER/BUFFALO GALS; 6. TUR-A-LUR-A-LURA (IRISH LULLIBY); 7. REDWING; 8. IRISH WASHERWOMAN; 9. MOLLY MALONE; 10. LEAVES; 11. JUST BECAUSE; 12. BELIEVE ME IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS; 13. GARY OWEN; 14. THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME/DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE; 15. YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE; 16. DANNY BOY.
Saturday night we are attending a Children of Chernobyl fund raiser with a dinner, program and silent auction. http://www.chernobyl.org/pages/hosting.htm
Look for a return on Sunday.
