My mother died today 4 years ago. Apologies to Camus. Long time, yet I think of her everyday in some form or fashion for some reason. I'll see an Italian name in the dead notices one morning that is one she would have know of. The family would have probably lived in the Sicilian neighborhood in the French Quarter. Or I'll see her picture on the wall in my home office.
I'm retired now from teaching at Northwood Univ. They are closing down, going online only due to low numbers. They can make more money that way. Put 25 in a class rather than 10. I am enjoying it.
Taking jewelry making, Spanish, and literature at the People Program now. I would like to be making money to pay off bills before Jan retires. Then we can travel in 1.5 years.
Good diagnosis on my bladder cancer, no return, treatments are working. Go back for more in February. Bad diagnosis of AMD in left eye, getting shots every 2 months. Also diagnosis of glaucoma for which I use eye drops once a day. So far it's under control. Scary to have both since they each take away different part of vision.
We totally remodeled our master bath , and it's lovely. Walk in glass door shower with rain shower head and regular shower head. Tiles pretty, floor is rocks in the shower. Need to pay off bills for it, including Bob's money he lent us.
I'm happy with Jan, and we plan to travel this fall and summer. Ireland in the summer.
