Traditions

Our tree is still up. It's always been a tradition in my family that the tree stays up until Epiphany. Some people think I'm crazy for keeping that tradition. It's just something that has always been for me.

School starts up again next week. Very light semester for me. One class, American Sign Language II. I really want to imerse myself if the Deaf Community this semester. I need more contact. I'm really hoping that CSD will call me soon to start my training to be a relay operator as well. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me.

Life has been alright. The holidays are over and I didn't have a nervous breakdown. The flu wasn't fun but it wasn't a breakdown. You think I'm kidding. I have spent holidays in tears because of the stress. This year, wasn't so bad. Maybe everyone is growing up. (heh)

As I reflect on the past year I'm thankful it's over. Was a tough year. Big mistakes, friendships lost, pieces of "me" missing... Not all of it was bad though. I did meet some wonderful people as well. I thank goodness for them. Even though some of them don't keep in touch as much as I'd like. I guess I'm to blame for part of that too. We get busy in our own little "worlds" that we ignore/disregard people that have been there in the past. I said earlier I don't make resolutions...I do however try to learn from my mistakes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm going to make the effort this year. I might be rejected, but at least I tried.

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
