I Took The Bull By The Horns!

So today was my motorcycle road test. I wish I'd realized the course I would need to run was on the pavement in the parking lot at the DMV. I think I would have practiced as I got by there 4 times per week. At least I PASSED and I won't have to do it again unless I get a bike with more than a 249cc engine. I'm legal to go on the freeway once my engine is broken in. That will be nice if the occasion ever arises when I feel the need to subject myself to that. I doubt it will happen any time soon. Anyway, Jeff is going to do his on Monday so we'll go this weekend and practice. Wish him luck! I'm sure he'll do fine.

It's Not Due To Lack Of Wanting To!

I've been run down, busy and just plain tired and sleepy. Not my fault! I have not been following anyone's blog and have not been writing in my own either I'm sorry to say. This week I started a pulmonary rehab exercise class and that goes 4 days per week. It's helping me regain my strength and stamina after being unable to do anything for too long now. Mental stress? Yeah, that got me down as well. I think I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I've started letting a little sunshine in through the cracks of the shutters in my "cave" lately too. I believe that means I'm feeling a desire to be a participant in my own life! Yes, I do go through these stages as I'm sure we all do at times. I'm glad to be peeking out through the cracks and wanting to be involved. I'm starting to feel good! Hurray! I thank my Heavenly Father and the wonderful men who have given me countless Priesthood blessings for my success in recovery thus far.

Sunday, the kids are heading to Southern California and will be taking the grandkids to Disneyland. I'll miss them for a whole week! The day after they get back my sister and I are heading for Northern California for a few days to see our mother, brother and my eldest daughter. It's going to be a fun trip but I'll miss everyone I'm not seeing for those nearly two weeks of time. Poor little me... LOL!

So, this will be my first post in awhile but I really was having a good time until the dog bit me. Oh, did I forget to mention that? Yes, my dog mistook me for someone else during a sleep induced haze. He woke up with me trying to move him and snapped his chompers shut right into my right hand. I was on antibiotics for 10 days. Those ended last Wednesday. The hand is doing very well with some residual stiffness and soreness as of today. It's healed quite well and quickly. To his credit, there was the smell of the cable guy in the room and he woke up being tugged on. I'm sure he thought he was defending himself at least if not the household.

So with not much else to day I'll end this post and get it posted! Thanks for reading!
