No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Hurry Up and Wait!

The Palace Press is ready and waiting to be e-mailed to the Owners and residents, however----no Internet connection on either computer. My desk top computer indicated full connection until the moment I sat down to start working. There was nothing, Jerry, nothing.

Justin and I had a chat earlier today about his potential living situation after his lease is up at the condo. Since his two roomies won’t be able to stay there after November, he is looking to find different roommates or a different place to live. Justin most certainly wants to stay on that side of town where he’s close to school and his playmates, probably more in reverse order than I wrote it!

One of our extended Middleburg family members, Trisha and Randy, (sister of Jen) lives near Justin’s school and has offered a room for him to rent. He needs the room, they can use the income from his staying there. We will see them at the wedding on Saturday and can talk it all over then. Justin will be comfortable there since, as he said to me, "it will be like living with family!" He wasn’t sure about attending the wedding, having had tentative plans to go Tampa’s Busch Gardens for a Halloween event, but I guess that is not working out. Justin was torn about it, wanting to do both the wedding and the Tampa venture. I refused to pressure him, leaving it totally up to him. As of this a.m., it looks like he’s going to the wedding, but he just has to check with his one roomie first just to make sure. He’d like to let the other roommate know so he can make the plans needed to move up to NC to stay with his mom. Mike isn’t working or attending school, due in part to the injury to his leg from the jet ski. He can go be with his mom and figure out what he wants to do with his life. Moms are good for that, right?

It is a quiet week here church-wise with pastor gone to Conference. There was no Bible study for us yesterday morning nor any tonight. All I have this week is choir rehearsal Wednesday, plus my opportunity to clean. This weekend will mark the first anniversary since I was struck with sciatica. The reason I remember is that I was cleaning at church in preparation for the Batkoski wedding on the 6th, and after vacuuming, I was totally done. The next day I was supposed to be hosting a New Member Welcome and had to ask for help since I could barely stand at all. From that day through the next two weeks it was all I could do to stand or walk, even lying in bed was awful. Dee introduced me to Carol, the massage queen, who turned my ailment and my life around!!! Every three days or so I could return to Carol for therapy and she made the big difference. I don’t ever want that to happen again, to be totally shut down by this malady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, right now, I’m shut down by this stupid Internet….which is much easier on my “system” than sciatica, although it hurts in the same place!!!!!!!!!!!!
