Day 279 of 365 days of Being Thankful

          Today I am thankful that I have an appointment with the marijuana dispensing doctor. I am already approved to get the pot because the doc received my medical records.  Apparently chronic pain is one of the determining factors. I am so hoping that it works.  There is a lot of paperwork involved.  First I had to find a reputable doctor.  Then I had to register online with the state.  Then I had to get my medical records sent to the doctor. Then that doc determines my eligibility. Then I have to go see him and he signs some sort of paperwork.  Then I have to go back online and pay a $50 fee to the state.  The doctor fee is $300. Then the state will mail an eligibility card to me. I think that  then I go to the dispensing store and buy the marijuana. Maybe there is another step the doctor will tell me about tomorrow!  I still am probably a few weeks away from actually getting the pot! My friend's husband may also be getting medicinal marijuana.  We can go to the marijuana market together and shop! My friend Nancy knows someone who works in the pot industry in Colorado.  She said that the names of some of the markets are really funny!  Her favorite was Rocky Mountain High!
         I am also so thankful that I had dinner with my RTW dinner club last night! There are about 11 of us in the group and last night 6 of us went to dinner.  We meet every other month so hopefully everyone will be able to come to the Christmas dinner in Dec.  Someone mentioned a pollyanna and we all  laughed.  We don't want or need anything! I am more into purging than receiving any gifts!! My friend Leslie's husband says to give the gift of "no gift.!" That truly is a gift!!!!!
  I just love all of the women in that group!! They are all so nice and so funny.  It's like being at a comedy club!! I think that women need other women to make their lives fulfilled! I know that I do.  Men hardly ever see things the correct way. One of my friend's granddaughters is sick and receiving chemo, she is only a baby. Please pray for her. I can't stop thinking about her.  I prayed for her as I drove home.  I am thankful that her condition was caught early and that she has an excellent prognosis.

                 MORE BAT NEWS!!   Yesterday another exterminator came.  The day before the exterminator from Terminix told me that he saw some guano, bat feces, in my attic and they could " fix " my problem for a year contract of $1400.  Today another exterminator came, he was in the attic a long time.  He said he didn't see any guano in my attic.  He didn't think the bats were hidden in the eaves like the Terminix guy thought because of the lack of guano! The second guy told me to find a handyman to close up an opening near my top roof siding and see if that works.  If not, he said they can come back and seal up the house for $795.  I think the Terminix guy just wanted me to sign a contract. The Terminix guy told me that I have mouse activity in my attic so Dan and I will buy traps tomorrow. The second guy told me that sometimes bats just fly around and fin...

Day 6 of Being Thankful

   Today I am thankful for my daughter Olya.  We adopted Olya from Ukraine in 2009.. Olya with her bio relatives Olya with a friend at her home in Ukraine  She was ten and a half years old when we adopted her.  My friend Maggie had found her for me in Ukraine,  She knew I wanted to adopt another girl in the 10-11 year old age range. Olivia was driving me crazy, she always wanted to be doing something. She really wanted a sibling!  I told Dan that we needed to adopt another girl close to Olivia's age so she would have a sibling to grow up with. Dan was fine with it, I think he was excited to go back to Ukraine!   Maggie works for Frontier Horizons, a hosting organization that brings orphans to the U.S. and other countries for a cultural experience. Maggie visits orphanages and selects children for hosting. They try to select children who are available for adoption but that isn't always the case.   It really is a pre-adoption...

     Today I am thankful for the wonderful day we spent yesterday.  We went to a restaurant to celebrate Renee and Adam's birthday with about 25 people!   Adam's parents and his brother Dan and his girlfriend came.  Renee and Adam and his brothers and wives/girlfriends and parents are all going on a trip to Lebanon in August.  Renee is excited because she has never been there! Walid's family, Adam's father, owns a huge hospital in Lebanon. It was nice to see all of them. Renee married into a lovely family!  After lunch we all went back to Renee and Adam's house for a large party.  I am guessing about 50 people were at the party!  There was so much food.  There were trays and trays of wraps, sandwiches, fruit, and vegetables.  A huge tray of sushi was demolished in an hour!  I am not a sushi lover or liker so I didn't help eat any of that tray! There were so many desserts that it was difficult what to choose to...
