Monday, March 3, 2025, MN

 Last week was quite the week.  The deal for the Camry fell through, as George was not willing to negotiate with splitting the cost to replace the starter and I was not comfortable paying his full asking price plus that expense, so I backed out.  Not a problem, as my RAV4 is still in great shape and will get me where I’m going for a long, long time. Beverly felt bad and was afraid that it would jeopardize our friendship - no way!

I had spent the last 10 days or so with very few of the tingling, numbing effects that I had been having and I was feeling so good on Wednesday that I made a pot of Cream of Potato soup, a salad, and drop biscuits and took them over to share with Ben’s family.  Everyone loved the soup and it is always a compliment when you are asked to share a recipe.  We had a nice visit.

Unfortunately, the weird symptoms came back early the next morning and have continued to repeat every hour to hour and a half with an occasional break of several hours.  I have sent an email to the neurologist’s nurse and hope that I get a response before too long.  I was able to get a decent night of sleep last night, had a few episodes but did not record them and was able to go back to sleep.  My annual physical is today.

Cathy invited me for dinner on Saturday night and she made a delicious chicken chow mein.  I whipped up a batch of chocolate chip cookies to share and also took them to the swim meet yesterday.

I went to the girls’ swim meet yesterday and they are all doing so well.  They each swam in four events and most of their previous times were improved upon.  Charlotte took a first place in the 50 Yard Fly.  She also swam her second 500 yard freestyle event and said that she really likes the endurance of that one.  Norah and Camille each had a second place event too.
