Day 306 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

            TODAY I AM THANKFUL THAT I HAVE LESS SCIATICA PAIN THAN I HAVE HAD FOR THE PAST 7 MONTHS!!!!!!!!! I don't know why, I just know it hurts less!  The only thing I can attribute it to is the hyperbaric chamber!!  I cancelled my back shots for Monday but I will reschedule them if it amps back up. 
   
          Today I am also thankful that Olivia and I chatted on the way home from cosmetology school.  She told me about client she was working on.  The woman was elderly according to Olivia. (she was probably 55 or so and Olivia probably considers that elderly!).  The woman supposedly is a psychic.
  She asked Olivia her name and Olivia told her.  Then she said to her, but you don't go by that name, do you?  Olivia said she goes by Liv(we call her Olia).  Then the psychic said, you weren't born in this country, were you?  And Olivia said, No, I wasn't. She asked Olivia if she was from Europe and Olivia said Yes, I am from Ukraine and I was adopted at age 10.  The psychic asked her if she was happy with her family and she said yes. This is the amazing thing she said.......I sense a lot of sadness in your parents or grief.  I don't know if she could guess that.  She could have guessed that Olivia was from Europe because Olivia looks very Eastern European and she could have guessed she had a nickname.  Olivia said she was freaked out by her.  I want  her to read me! On Mon night at our bereaved parent meeting, our guest psychic is coming.  She has never read me but she read Olivia last year.  Olivia will go with me on Monday for the meeting.
Dan and Olivia went food shopping last night.  I am thankful that he came home with a 17 pound free turkey!! He had spent $97 dollars and then he paid a ten dollar fee for food for the poor.  The cashier said, "you are now at $107 and you get a free turkey!! He didn't even know about the free turkey.  Dan said it is strange how the universe pays you back!!
Dan liked the haircut that Olivia did but he didn't like his photo! He called me and said...God, I look old!!! LOL, we ARE old!!! I think we don't realize how old we look because we get use to seeing ourselves in the mirror! Mirrors should have time lapse photography built into them.  Today on the TV show THE TALK, I learned about a new treatment where older people get transfused with blood from a teenager or twentysomething and they feel and look much better physically and mentally. It has even been shown to help people affected with Alzheimers! I'd love to have the energy of a teenager!

                 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...
