Once

I am titling this post with the name of the movie we saw. Not because it was the best movie ever, but because, as I have pointed out in previous blogs, coming up with interesting titles for blog after blog (after blog) can be something of a challenge. So, once it is.

Something that happened again was that I thought of all sorts of things to write and didn't write them. I ought to have put them in a holding blog post. I forget that I don't have to post every blog I start. I could have copied and pasted from the other blog into the new one and there those thoughts would be. Fresh and happy and waiting for explanation and expansion. Sigh. Next time, I hope to remember that...

Big doings yesterday! Ok, not so big, really. I did actually meet someone from OKCupid! That was a good thing. We had "coffee," walked and chatted. And I learned about yarn bombing. It was great to spend time with an adult who didn't seem to have memory issues! :) It also reassured me that meeting new interesting people is possible. Woo hoo!

Sadly, while at the coffee place, the barrista called me by name - and though I recognized her (eventually) her name is no closer to my lips than it was yesterday. Sigh. I really do need to be better at names if I am going to be President. How embarrassing would it be to meet some foreign leader and not remember their name?!

My arm still hurts and I still don't know what it is. I do hope it will go away eventually. I no longer think it is the rotator cuff. I thought maybe it was the sign of some dread disease, but I looked up a couple and it doesn't seem to be a harbinger of doom. I think it is just some sort of muscle pain that hopefully will go away. Are you listening arm pain? Hmm?

Mom's neck still hurts. I promised her that if it still hurts on Tuesday, we will go for an appointment with a nurse practitioner and get some x-rays or something. I think she is just sleeping on it wrong and maybe a good pillow would help. Maybe chiropractic visits would be good. It would be nice if the new aide person coming to help out turned out to be a massage therapist as well...ha. Hahahaha. Tuesday we see someone from the in-home aide service to talk about aides. That will be nifty, I am sure.

And I almost forgot to write about the movie after all. It was an interesting indie movie called Once. About a guy and a girl who meet and end up creating music together and do not end up as a couple. I enjoyed it more than mom did. Worth a watch if you have nothing better to do with your time. Some of the music was pretty good.

(Please pretend that I actually posted this on Sunday...)
