Winter Flowers November 28, 2005
Nov 28, 2005
I planted a whole garden of tulips, irises, and hyacinths last year at my mother's house. This year after the hurricane most everything is gone. A few irises remain. I just planted some pansies and what was left of the hyacinth bulbs from last year. It was more difficult for me than last year. I am struggling to keep up my strength because of this interstitial cystitis. Who really wants to read about medical BS anyway. I am going to see Sophia on her birthday. She will be 5 yrs old. It is now 2 yrs. since her mother passed. I still grieve, as I know she does. This is why I must be there, I love her so much. I have still not set foot in New Orleans. I am very involved in the Baptist Church down the road. My mother attends so I go with. We are studying James 5, but the whole book was so easy to read. I like my new Diciple's Bible. Still, I am depressed by a lack of energy. I walked the 2 Golden Retrievers that belong to Dale's daughter who lost her house in the tidal surge of the hurricane. I do most every day. I gave the little dashound a bath,this dog is pathetic but it is so much of her memories and love she cannot put it to sleep so we take care of it for her until she gets her trailer from FEMA. 5 of his 7 children lost all they had in the storm.

Hello Again H2G2
May 3, 2004
I hope I will have broadband when I get home to Mobile, Alablessedbama. What am I doing back there? I went to Miami Beach and lived with my ex-fiance. He was a fiasco. I am extremely cautious with men and relationships now. AnnaNorseGoddess has burned me badly and decided to keep my imac as a souvenir of our friendship. She figures I owe her a lot. I am tired of being devastated by the self-servedness of others. I remain unjudgemental and turning the other cheek to the last. Church of the Chocolate Brownie flip on this one because if I did not have God and Jesus Christ in my life I couldn't handle any of it.
And my mother of course. The rest of it, I wish I had written down for you all. Now I have to piece it back together from scraps of paper and memory. But memory is kind. I have written many letters and torn them up, best not sent. So just as well that the unglamourous details were not exposed here.
I want to go back to Miami or South Florida for the weather and the water. I went to a choral group concert with all Beatles music yesterday, my mother sings first alto. It was great but I don't like to take pictures and she wanted them. Don't know when I will be back in LA. My birthday is the 19th of May and if I can get my laptop upgrade needed I will try and throw a bash here. Keep in touch old and any friends.There were 4 days of rain and the Jazz Fest was cancelled one day this weekend. It is 66 degrees and water temp in the Gulf of Mexico is a chilling 73 degrees. I will return to Florida.
Worlds of Love,
Joy

Going Back to Fairhope
Aug 15, 2002
Today is the day. I will go back to Fairhope. I saw,192 meteors on Aug. 11th and 245 on Aug. 12th, between the stargazing on other nights I am sure I wished upon well over 500 falling stars.
The morning of the 13th was fabulous, the whole day actually. I did not sleep but went fishing in the Gulf of Mexico at Grayton Beach. We actually caught a mess of white trout. I am sure I had at least 1 Pompano on my line, but he got away. I will try again. I got some sun that day and was in the water from 6 AM until 10:30 AM. We broke camp at around 2 PM, and I was very hot from frying the fish. I was a great camping trip! I am glad I did it. I was something I had been dreaming of for a long time. I saw a little red fox crossing the road going back to camp from the beach on the morning of the 12th. Also, we had some great racoons at the campsite. I called them all by the name Bandit. Then when we were eating I would talk about saving some for the babies.
I am going to talk to AD today about the new business I am thinking about starting up. It is a home party type, with aromatherapy oils as the product. It is good to be back in touch with him on a regular basis. I have missed him dearly.
Worlds of Love,

PS Can't wait to see Houdini, my black crested caique!

Persied Meteor Shower
Aug 11, 2002
I will be counting meteors tonight Aug. 11th and tomorrow the 12th of August. It appears to be cloudy but I am going to think positive that if it is cloudy this morning, it will rain today and clear up by tomorrow. The meteor shower will peak tomorrow night. I have been at Navarre, Florida for the past 2 nights and will return to my campsite tonight rain or shine. I am feeling better this morning and looking forward to going to church. I have found a charismatic Catholic Church here in Navarre called St. Sylvester. I really enjoy the services. It is the church I have felt most comfortable in out of all in my life to date. I am thinking of moving here for the fall season and attending. I don't think I will go to school this fall, I will just try to get well. I will commute to my clients in Mobile and do some massage at AnnaNorseGoddess' house, where I am presently working out of and live with my niece and take care of Sophia. My grandniece, she is 20 months now and I am besotted with her.
I will arrange to go to the University of Salamanca this new year and attend a semester there, January through May. I hope to be able to go to an h2g2 meet while I am in Europe.
I must first get well this fall by taking some medication I have been avoiding, hoping I would get better on my own. I have not so I will arrange to start taking it in September.
Also, of course, I will be going through the court stuff concerning Fairhope and will be glad to get the whole thing behind me. I am sure it will work out just the way it should as soon as I can get it to court.
I will not stop studying and will be working on my Spanish at home as I am sure I will be held to a high standard in Salamanca and am going there to do my graduate courses to finish out my Masters in Secondary Ed. with a specialty in Spanish.
So there, goals set down, in writing for refferal. And I will be reading this journal entry often to keep me on track.
Worlds of Love,

(It is getting harder and harder not to just sign my real name, I am sure it is in a posting around here somewhere)
I am also thinking that I should translate some of the papers I have written in French and Spanish and offer them for peer review. Another thing I will be studying on my own will be writing composition and of course teaching methods. I will be busy.
Mark is a Microsoft instructor at University of South Florida, so I have some great books on Microsoft around here. I should set myself a curriculm on that as well. Even when I am not in school, I am in school. In fact, I have been self schooling since the day I was born. I am a professional student and proud of it. I never get tired of learning and look forward to teaching.
