After that great and spontaneous party yesterday, I wanted to spend a quiet day here at the house with Margaret for her birthday. I didn't have anything planned, just a quiet day. There was much to do for the DSP program. Right now I am scheduled for two courses -- a 2 day on the 24th and 25th of this month, one on the 27th of Sept. (Hyde Park UMC), and one is developing for Regency Cove. I talked to Anna (she returned my call from the other day) to clarify what I needed to do for the West Tampa course, the frequency of the Hyde Park course, and what to do with the developing Regency Cove activity. I didn't tell her that one of the people interested in the course is a property manager for a group of apartments that may be interested in having courses.
Other than some flurries of activity like that, I did some piddling things -- resetting the "ramp" on my CPAP, doing the frozen pepper experiment (maybe Jamie will come by tomorrow and I can report and give her a jar of my marinara), made the bed, etc. All the time just observing what every Aug 14th will be like in the future.
The brightest spot came with the mail. Ann Newsome sent a card that was remembering Margaret with a copy of the article when Josh was named Boy of the Year. She wrote the best words of comfort and emphasized that I am not alone. What better timing for that to come as I was wavering on a pity party, and not really wanting to go there. Ann's note was like a ray of sunshine in the midst of a definitely cloudy day.
I still hope Christian, Jamie and Allie come by tomorrow. I am getting concerned about not hearing from Marcia since the end of July. Tonight I sent a text message to Aaron in hopes that I could get some word from that part of the country.
