A good Saturday

A blogging buddy of mine (Milt Bogs) asked me if I'd been exposed to rifle fire because of my Tinnitus! Couldn't help but grin - even chortled a little bit! No Milt, no rifle fire in my life! I'm over poweringly afraid of guns and have been ever since I was shot when I was a little girl. Living out here in the country like I do, I often hear gunfire echoing through the hills, which causes me to run for cover every time! I figure it's better to be safe than sorry.

I've learned, however, since this awful ringing began in my ears to not mention it very often. Got kinda sorta tired of being told to "get an unlisted ear." Not funny when I heard it the first time, and every time thereafter it became even more aggravating!

Today, I am very pleased with myself. I've created one of the prettiest embroidery designs I've ever done - and I've been doing this for about two years. I bet I've come to this computer and looked at it at least a dozen times since completing it! Hope others will like it and I sell it to LOTS of embroidery nuts like me! I will stitch it out starting sometime tomorrow - can't wait to see it.

Boy howdy, my big head sure did get deflated today - BIG TIME. I forgot a step in the chain of command for submitting dues for ASDF members! Oops! Was supposed to send everything to the BN XO, and didn't. Took care of it myself and mailed everything off yesterday morning. Had to admit to that fact today to the BN XO via e-mail - awaiting chastisement as I type this! One good thing, this mistake won't affect my pay check one bit because we ALL are volunteers! ;-)

My very best friend called me today to thank me for the flowers I sent her for her birthday. How wonderful it was to talk with her - she always lifts my spirits. She and her hubby have offered to pay for round trip airline tickets for me to come visit her in September or October. Wow, that's a good friend! My friend from New York, who winters in Alabama, has already offered to house/dog sit for me. That's another good friend! I'm going to give that opportunity serious consideration!

"Happy" pill worked really well today, and I don't feel like crap or inordinately sleepy after taking it, either. The pain doesn't exactly disappear, but it is dulled enough to where I can think, do, and eat! Just had a huge tomato sandwich and a cold glass of milk for supper. Thought I was gonna have to get me a slobber cup to put under my chin from the juice of that delicious tomato! Man, that's good eating!
