One Foot and Again

This morning I made a bone density, dental, and vet appointment and called New York State about loan management. Usually, I fear the phone and either blank out on what the person said, or incoherently end sentences. This day, I made up for several years of dilly dallying and will call more people tomorrow, I only blanked out once.

It took me years to make a decision to become a teacher because I knew I would have to call parents regarding behaviors, permissions, and illnesses. Cell phone? That took years also, and I still don't know my number, I had to enter it in the directory. The phone is in my purse for emergencies, and is really useful if I remember to charge it.

I registered for a course in Fiction Writing, starts in September, online. Excited. I tell you, nothing, nothing stays the same. If you think life slows down when you reach your mid-fifties, I am here to say get your roller skates ready and grease the surfboard.

In the meantime, I think I need a glass of milk to calm down, all this is very stimulating, the phone calls, the registration, the talking to government employees. Tomorrow, I will get out of the apartment and fly down the sidewalks. Oofa. Better post tomorrow, my head is spinning with indulgences and dreams. From Dreamville, love to all. Susan
