What I Did Last Weekend, And Yesterday....

 Yesterday Daddy brought me to a jazz dinner at Dante's which was amazing...I have to say I really like jazz. I also got to see one of my friends!!

Last weekend I got to go to 2 baby showers!! I got to hold a baby, thus I am very happy.

I was not feeling very good last Sunday and the second one was supposed to happen that evening so I slept in the morning , yeah I missed church but I am friends with the momma ...I felt like I should go no matter what! So I did!

Something really amazing is I won one a prize at the first one and TWO prizes at the second one.  That does not happen much.

Here are some photos of what I made for the babies.

 Everything is recycled..except for the thread. Hey if you do not go shopping that often you get creative, at least I do.

 I used to feel odd giving people my families re-purposed stuff, but one of my friends said he really liked getting stuff from me because it is made out of trash and turned into brilliance.  I had to laugh.

 Also last night we got a very exciting phone call, but I can't tell you about it yet though I want to burst. I am so excited!!  I will tell you asap.

Flowers and Music...

 Yesterday was a really wonderful day, first of all a good friend of mine was coming over sometime in the afternoon, and then we were going to go and listen to jazz with my grandmother at Dante's ....And to make it even better another friend was there Eric!

Yes I was very happy , and I was even given some flowers..which for me is almost like some sort of drug, I have an overwhelming inclination to draw them before they die. I stare at them till I nearly throw myself into some sort of trance, and draw and get blisters and draw some more. Maybe that seems silly but to me it isn't.

Friends Can Be Found

 Yesterday Daddy took me to a jazz concert and then afterwards we went to eat at Dante's. The concert was wonderful but so was what happened after dinner.

My Dad was taking to two young  guys and I had a seizure ( They happen a lot in the evening) The two guys got silent and starred at me ( so I am told) . Daddy said I wasn't really o.k. but that it was my normal, the guys then told Daddy that their Mom has epilepsy and the rough times she went through.

The guys understood......my life.

Later Daddy went to get me some juice and I stayed and talked to the guys.
 The one guy said that he wished there was some sort of technology to fix all my problems and then he said if only we could rid you of those God d@$%^# f#$%^&* seizures!

Well you know what? I rather liked those cuss words. ( I smiled)

Those guys told me I wasn't alone in what I was going through and that they did not believe in social barriers.

One day , they said, I shall kick epilepsy's d@%^#8 @$$.

They got silent when Daddy came back, probably because they were saying bad words, but somehow that didn't bother me at all.
I like those guys.

Cheat Fest and Dante's Jazz Dinner

 So Friday evening my Dad and I went to a jazz dinner . I felt well enough but evenings are very very difficult and the music and many missing pieces because I kept going out ( seizure). I am still glad I went . I ate some gumbo, the first dinner I had been able to eat in awhile. Saturday my Dad and I went to Cheat Fest ( Cheat as in The Cheat River), it was a lot of fun and I got to see some people I know. We stayed longer than planned and I was ready to go when we left. No one can understand how confusing it is when you go in and out of time and people are talking and music playing and sometimes you even end up in a different place because someone has pushed your wheelchair. It is quite trippy actually, sometimes it is interesting and sometimes it is extremely annoying.

Anyway I still had an awesome time and my dad is super super strong and can push my wheelchair through gravel!!!!!

Today I went to church :) I have been very busy and am very glad to be feeling some better from that nasty tummy bug.

oh yes...Shasta threw up in my bed yesterday and threw up elsewhere in the house both today and yesterday. Poor doggy, I sure hope she is not sick from me :(
