We're getting to that point...

We've reached a new point in the season...it's an important page being turned in our season.  It's the point where people are ready to go home.  Oh gosh...really?!?!  Yes, it's true.  I'm not so much screaming to get out yet, but I'm starting to miss things like favorite foods from restaurants and grocery stores.  Can't wait to sleep in my bed in my bedroom!  Looking forward to having television and an internet signal that isn't wavering minute by minute.

Other people seem to be at the point where they're getting tired of one another.  And in some cases there are reasons to be wearing thin.  For instance, in our living space there is one common room where the food is served.  Also in that room is a table that serves as a space to gather and socialize but also to eat.  I mean that's a good use of a table in the eating area of the house.  Well it appears that the table has been commandeered by three or four people who leave their stuff on that table always.  The other day it was VERY rainy here.  So eating outside on our porch (as we do just about every day) was not a great option...unfortunately it was the only option because the table indoors is not able to be used.

Please also seem to be deteriorating a bit.  One act is complaining of a badly bruised and swollen knee, we've had allergies playing a big factor on people in the house and now I have a very bad ear infection.  I've been to a few doctors, one of them is a specialist, and I've been given some antibiotics but the doctor is concerned at the severity of the infection.  So I'll have a follow up appointment with him after two weeks on two different antibiotics and I'll also have a hearing test done on that day.  It's a bit frightening to me because of all the surgeries that I had on my ears as a child.  Certainly my mind has raced back to some very vivid moments of prepping for surgeries, following up on surgeries and realizing that I had some significant hearing loss as a child.  They are guessing that at this point my right ear is operating at about 50% of it's normal function because of the infection.  Not the best diagnosis for someone who needs their ears for their career.  But, I'm getting by and I'm keeping a positive energy about it.  Stressing, worrying, complaining about it is certainly not going to help me get any better.

In wrapping up, I would like to give a shout out to my best friend from home who has recently started a new chapter of life at a new institution seeking a doctorate.  I'm very proud of you and miss you already!  Much love!

Enjoy the day everyone.
Adios from the Mountains of Musical Madness.
