Memory?

Was it a memory of something I did or know of?
Was it just a dream?
I do not know!

If its a dream, my brain must be whacked!
My father was in it - I almost never dream of people I know!
But if a memory .... OMG!!!!!

It becomes something beyond belief!
Warped and twisted, exactly like my father!
The paranoid delusions of the Cold War.

So I set out to research the subject of the dream.
To my horror, I discovered that my dream too close to possible!
Last night I was quite ill from what I confirmed!

And I knew things that my conscious mind had nothing concerning.
Too much detail as if real it seem.
It worries me as a lifelong pacifist, for a great many people died because of it.

Did father really do something so without excuse?
Did thousands really die due to his Soviet paranoia?
How could I have known about this?

Isn't amnesia fun?!?

I think I might rough this out into a story -
It is truly appalling!
;)

Its Offical!

So my surprise surgeon review went very well.
He agreed the wound has finally closed and healed!
And he did not stab it with a stick this time.
So, he is done with me!

Then the artificial leg guy was next.
He is not real sure what do as the wound did not heal smoothly.
So I have to go with a friction/pressure fit leg.
Not as elegant as mt bayonet mount.
Sigh ...

Nothing in life seems simple anymore.

So - major achievement!
I am ready for the leg!

Moses

Thinking on Moses' life and his role in Exodus 1:1 through 2:10.

We Can Prepare And Wait
The Israelis were refugees at this time
Pharaoh fears their numbers
- Makes slaves of them
-  Orders murder of all male babies
- Orders everyone to kill Israeli males

We Can Go Against Authority
- Law
- Rules
- Political correctness
- Peer pressure

They knew enough to trust and follow what they knew of God

We Can Know God Is Working
Mother hid Moses.
Then becomes his nurse.

So often we can see God's hand in our lives - retroactively!
Everyone I know wishes God would act - quickly - with no question Gods is acting!
But He seems content to let evil reign unmolested far too long!
It is hard to remember to see life through God's eyes and values - not our own!

And though Moses certainly did not score a 100%, God found him ... righteous ...
And that is not half bad ...

Spinnin Wheels

I must be getting better.
I am almost bored enough to spit on the wall and watch it run down!
Gees, I am so tired of just sitting!
TV is pretty horrible during the day.
Still can not read more than three pages a day.
Sigh ...

Today is the meeting yet again with the surgeon.
I have no idea where this is going to go.
It would please me no end if they would go ahead with mold making for the leg.
But, not holding my breath!
All in God's timing it seems.

Yesterday I took my longest drive yet.
I took of and headed down Puyallup - about 35 miles.
But the northbound freeway was a parking lot, thanks to rolled over truck!
It was lunch time by now, so I headed up to Federal Way via back roads.
Had lunch at the Bear Diner.
But I-5 was gunnysacked thanks to road repairs, so the back roads again!

Eventually I made it back home - about three hours and 90 miles covered!
Utterly exhausted me!
So, I can do okay driving now.
But sure not going to for Oldest Daughter's, much less my mother's for a while!

Musical Saturday Morning

I was sitting having breakfast and the radio was playing some old archaic song ... and it reminded me of something.  Several hours later I had remembered the group name and then came the question - "what was their song I really liked by them?"  Many more hours later I had a name - and there is NO video them performing anything it seems!

So, at least this is Supertramp's lead singer and songwriter, performing the song- albeit they had died by the release of their best album!

Thankfulness

When I was informed that the wound's closure - I burst into tears for several hours.
Thhis has been emotionally exhausting.
Admittedly, it does not take much to exhaust me.

So, yesterday, I took my nurse to the local cantina for lunch.
I do not think that nurses get very much thanks.
We dined on the new Mexican menu.
It was good.
She had fun. I had fun, the waitress had some good laughs as well!

And she talked about how in 22 years No One had ever thanked her for doing what she enjoys.
Make no mistake, her insights certainly were what has brought to this point.
And her wagging tongue is why I have to see the surgeon on Monday .,,,

Sigh .....

I guess I need to be thankful for that as well ...

Ohhhh Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Amnesia, Lord how this drives me crazy!
It is as though I can not even have a conversation sometimes!
People have to prompt me with words to express a thought as I get randomly stuck!
UI forget that I bought dairy and twelve hours later put it in the fridge ...sigh.
Hope I do not die from the cottage cheese at dinner tonight!

And as I sat down to write this post ,,,,
All of my notes are now gone.
They always sit beside the computer - except this morning. apparently ... sigh
And "winging" it usually leads to random words in French or German!
Then I get frustrated because I understand ... why can't the dictionary?!?

So, on to something completely different and not thought out  ...

Swede was over yesterday, his new car in the shop and a few hours to kill.
So we did lunch at the local cantina.
Of course much laughter ensued to the amusement of those around us and waitresses.

Now you might remember from other post concerning Swede:
He is literal
He is linear in his thought process
Math requires a slide-rule!
He had his DNA run two years ago ...

So he was raised to believe he was descended from Swedish Vikings.
But, his DNA analysis said his ancestors were German!
And he was devastated.
Personally I thought it just fine to be of Teutonic descent!

Now he starts running down relatives, close and extended.
Down further as he finds he is probably Finnish.
 No, I really do not understand his trauma here ....
So, yesterday I was helping him run percentages so he can be Swedish again!
He is happy again ....

Amazingly across these last few months, it seems where ever I go people are talking about their DNA testing and trying to figure it out!.
So very odd!
It made me wonder what happened to my DNA I had run back at the beginning of the year....
Still being run I guess.

Sigh ...

Still related to anyone!
