Keeping busier and busier



The return to normalcy…if such a thing is really possible….seems to be undulating instead of static, but we’re getting there.

The Former Boyfriend and I went out to dinner last Monday night at The Crest Gastro pub with Jake and Elizabeth.  It’s the annual July birthday dinner for Jake and me…something we started years ago to celebrate our birthdays.  A nice little place.

Tuesday we took our dogs Tillie and Rose back to the Columbus All Breed Training Club.  It’s the first time we’ve been back since my surgery.  It was fun and productive.  All four of us were tired out at the end of the evening.

And then on Friday evening we saw John Fogerty play at Cincinnati’s Riverbend Amphitheater.  The fine folks at Time Warner were giving away samples of craft beer.  I’m not supposed to have carbs but free beer and Fogerty…What’s a girl to do??? I had some samples. It was a show of over two hours of classic Creedence Clearwater Revival and Bayou songs along with some Centerfield solo stuff and work from his new albums.  He played, “Mystic Highway” which I really love and “Train of Fools”.  At 69 Fogerty is an icon that’s out on the road really delivering a kick-ass show.  Highly recommended from this clan.

We finished up the week with Jack & Gina’s annual pool party.  We are grateful beyond words for all their work putting that together – We love seeing everyone.  Rachel graduates from OSU in December and in August Tiffany is heading for Moody College in Chicago.

I’m still having half hour laser treatments 3 times per week to help reduce scar tissue and increase range of motion in my right arm, I’m trying to put some weight back on, getting started monitoring my heart rate variability, and I’m trying to get my regular energy and passion for doing things back.  But all in all I’m doing great and have another packed week coming up.
