A Quiet Thanksgiving
Yes, it's true! I'm posting to LJ again, within the same month! Can this be true?

Just wanted to say a belated Happy Thanksgiving to all my LJ friends (even though I've said it to most of you elsewhere already!). We had a quiet day here. Now that our daughter and her boyfriend have moved across the country, we didn't really have anyone to spend it with, so we decided to cook a turkey for soups and sandwiches, but to go out for sushi for our Thanksgiving dinner. Well, our plans got changed a bit. Last year, tons of restaurants were open, but this year, almost nothing was, including the sushi places. So we came back and had turkey sandwiches today, and will do the sushi thing tomorrow.

I've spent most of the day playing on the net. I got Qwitter installed, and have really been enjoying learning to use it. I like that I can send and receive tweets from anywhere. I also have McTwit, but I like not having an open winder for a Twitter program.

Well, I guess that's basically all my news. I'm enjoying a long weekend, and I hope you all are having a nice restful holiday weekend as well.

Surfacing for an update
Hi, all. Here I am at last for another LJ update.

My mPower still isn't back with me, but part of that is my doing. I sent it away to Canada on November 5 for a battery change, figuring I'd have it back in two to three weeks. It got to Humanware on the 10th, and then on the 11th Humanware announced the release of the BrailleNote Apex, the latest and greatest in BrailleNotes. After thinking about it for a few days and realizing it has everything I want, and figuring that I could swing it by doing a trade in, I called Humanware and told them I wanted to do a trade in. They hadn't even started working on my unit, nor had they called me about it (after having had it there for five days). They told me the trade in program won't start until around January, because they want to make sure they have enough inventory to do it; so my mPower is just sitting there until then, and then they'll send me an Apex. Fortunately, I can use my mPower from work to keep track of basic things until I get the new unit, but I'll sure be glad when it comes.

The other bit of news is that I got an account on Twitter. I need more net stuff like I need a hole in my head, but a lot of my friends are on it, and I wanted to see what it was like. I'm Kernsac on there, if anyone wants to follow me. I like Facebook better, I think, because you can say more at one time, so communication can be on a deeper level. But the tweets throughout the day make it seem like we're all together and touching bases, which is kind of fun too. Hello, my name is Peggy, and I'm a netaholic.

Okay, that's my latest news. I won't say I'll try to pop in soon for another update, because we all know how bad I am about that. But I do like to keep up with what's going on with my LJ friends, so even though I don't say much, I like to know what's going on with you all.

Okay, back to lurkdom.

My BrailleNote is off to Canada
Hi, all. My BrailleNote is on its way to Canada. I've been noticing that its battery wasn't lasting as long, and I've been trying to put off sending it in for as long as I could. But I finally decided that now is as good a time as any to send it in, as I don't have any plans to go anywhere where I'll need it for e-mail or GPS. But I sure miss it. I think having to send machines away to be serviced is one of the hardest parts of being blind. I envy our sighted friends, who can either service their own machines or take it to a local shop for servicing. But we have to send our gadgets halfway across the world, and pay outrageous prices, just for basic service; and we're without our equipment for several weeks, and just have to make the best of things. I'm very grateful to have the equipment I have, and I love it; but it's really hard to part with it when it needs to be serviced.

A retreat I went on last weekend
Hi, all. I was on retreat last weekend, and thought I'd share about it here.

I wanted to share some of the highlights of the retreat I went on this

weekend, as it was my first-ever silent retreat, and a lot of you were

curious about what a silent retreat was like, as was I.

The retreat was given by Sister Macrina Wiederkehr (pronounced something

like Veeder-care), who is a Benedictine nun from Arkansas. She's written a

book called Seven Sacred Pauses, about the seven times we can pause

throughout the day to say a brief prayer or give thanks, or to just get in

touch with where we are. The seven sacred pauses are vigils (the night

watch), the waking hour (early morning), the blessing hour (mid-morning),

the illumination hour (mid-day, when the sun is at its highest), the wisdom

hour (mid-afternoon, when the day is starting to draw to a close), the

twilight hour (when the sun goes down), and the great silence (nighttime.

The retreat was a silent retreat, but as Macrina told us, that doesn't mean

not saying a single word all weekend long. The emphasis was to be on the

common good, and our silence was to be coming from the desire to do what we

could to help those around us to hear God. That put a different spin on it.

There were eighty-four of us there, and it was amazing how quiet we were! I

never would have thought a group that large could be that quiet. But it was

really neat to be able to walk to and from the different sessions and to be

able to savor the sound of the fountain in the courtyard or the chirping

crickets, and to feel the sun warming my body, and to not be distracted by

noise and chatter. We ate our meals in silence too, which I thought was an

interesting experience. I thought the diningroom would be so quiet that I

could hear a pin drop, but it was actually quite noisy, with the clatter of

dishes as people got their food and ate it and bussed their dishes. They had

soft music playing in the background, a lot of which were songs I've sung at

Mass, so I enjoyed listening to it while eating. Dan found the meals in

silence more difficult than I did, because it was hard for him to see people

and not talk to them, or to know that they were seeing him and not talking,

and wondering what they were thinking. I guess that's where blindness has

its advantages. The thing that was hard for me was that I couldn't go

anywhere independently. The layout of the retreat center was very confusing,

even for Dan, because it had so many entrances. There were many times we'd

go in the wrong door to get to our room, only to discover we were in the

wrong building, or the wrong part of the building, or something. So once we

were in the room for the night, that was it for me. Both nights I would wake

up after a few hours and wish I could go outside for a walk or something,

but I couldn't. So I just let myself feel what I felt, and be who I was. But

I was still glad when it was morning and we could get up and out and enjoy

the sunshine!

One thing Dan and I did was to walk the labyrinth. I'll try to explain what

little I know about it, since I haven't seen it, and maybe it'll be as clear

as mud for the other blind readers, just like it is for me. It's like

a maze, and you walk along its path, with all its twists and turns, and you

eventually end up in the center; and then I guess you keep following them

and it takes you back out again. I'd walked a labyrinth several years ago at

church, but it was one that was drawn on the floor or something, and someone

was leadning me around within the lines, and it was totally meaningless. I

might as well have just walked around in circles in my own livingroom. But

this labyrinth was made out of rocks, so periodically, as I walked behind

Dan and held onto him, I would reach out with my feet and feel it. And the

comments Dan made to me as we went through were good things to meditate on.

At one point he said, "I thought we were almost to the center, and now we're

back at the perimeter." At another point he said, "We just go step by step."

What a good description of the spiritual life! We finally made it to the

center and sat down on some stumps there. Another person came and walked the

labyrinth, and just by listening to him/her get nearer and then farther

away, I really got an appreciation of what it was like.

I really enjoyed Macrina's meditations on the sacred pauses too, which were

given as close to the times of day that they occurred as possible. And

because we were out in nature so much, I could feel the changes in the day

and the sun. And she played selections from the companion CD by Velma Frye,

called Seven Sacred Pauses, Singing Mindfully From Dawn to Dusk, or

something like that. I got the songs from the Amazon MP3 site a few months

back, and love to listen to them when I can at the various times of day.

So it was a wonderful weekend, but it feels good to be back in my own space

where I know where things are and can move around independently.

Update for the week
Well, I suppose I should call this "Update For the Last Two Weeks", since it's been that long since I've posted. But I don't think a whole lot happened in the first week, so we'll leave the subject line as it is.

The Governator decided state workers didn't need Columbus Day off, so it was a regular work day. But as I'd already made plans for that day, I requested it off on vacation, so that Dunu and I could pick his mom and her friend up at the airport and drive them to Sonora so they could see a third friend. They were all friends and roommates in college, and now they're in their 80's. It's neat to see friendships last so long. We got to have dinner at the Sonora friend's house and meet her kids, who are our age, and play with her dog (a sweet little pug). We didn't get home until 9:30 and we had to work the next day, but we had a great time.

On Tuesday a huge rain and wind storm came throw, and several tree limbs fell down, and many people (not us) lost power. I was supposed to have choir rehearsal that night, despite my efforts to talk our director into canceling it a few days before because of the coming storm. Fortunately, he saw sense that day, and the rehearsal was canceled, so I got to stay in my warm house after work. Since Tuesday the weather has been warming up, and it's more like spring now. Just as I was getting used to sweatshirts too! Oh well, the cooler weather will be here soon enough.

Last night we went to our friend Frances's house for homemade sushi, which was yummy. She had asparagus and shredded carrots and ahi tuna and avocados, and all kinds of good stuff to put in it. It was great!

So that's the news from my corner of the net. Now it's back into lurk mode.

Fall has fallen!
Hi, all. I think fall has finally come to us. When we left for Portland on Sept. 24, it was about 100 degrees during the day. When we returned home, we were in the low to mid 80's, and for the last couple days we've been in the upper 60's to low 70's. I love it! I love the nights, where it's cold enough to snuggle under the blanks and go to sleep. I love getting the heat programmed for the cooler months. I love the sun coming up late and going down early. I love the anticipation of pumpkins and holidays and warm, cozy meals shared with those I love. Can you tell I love autumn?

Not much has been going on, besides getting excited about the change of seasons. I only had to work on Thursday last week, and that wasn't too bad. This week, Friday is another furlough day, so it will only be a four-day week. And then the following week, I have Monday off, plus another furlough Friday. So life is good.

Back from Portland
Hi, all. Dunu and I just returned from a vacation to Portland to see his mom. We were there about a week, and had a really nice time. Most of the vacation was spent eating and eating and eating. We picked this time of year to go up because one of Dunu's brothers turned fifty this year, and his birthday was celebrated at the annual fall/harvest festival he and his wife always have at their farm. We've never been to one, but it was really fun. There were people and dogs everywhere, and tons of food. They even had karaoke in their barn. We visited other family members and went out a few times too. Dunu's family calls themselves The Eat Family, and it's sure true, and it's sure wonderful! But despite the wonderful time, there's nothing like your own house. It feels great to be home.

So that's the news from this corner of the net.

Fun stuff going on
Hi, all. Well, I've had some excitement that I'd like to share. Dunu and I bought a netbook a few nights ago. I'd been wondering about them, but since I have a BrailleNote for a backup computer, I couldn't really justify getting too excited about buying yet another one. But Dunu was interested in them too, so we went out and bought a Toshiba. I'm getting used to it and gradually building up speed on it, but some of the keys work differently, so I'm not as fast as I am on this big 'puter. And we need to figure out what to do about the blasted touchpad. Dunu needs it because he's mouse dependent, but it's a pain for me, as I keep bumping it and sending myself out of whatever I'm working on. But I've gotten all my e-mail addresses configured and my favorite programs installed, so life is good. And it will be fun to use when I go to Portland. A lot less clunky than a BrailleNote.

I think that's about all the excitement that's worth cluttering up your computers with, but if I think of more, I'll post.

Here I am again
Well, here I am again, for another update. Boy, time flies, and it's hard to think what's exciting enough to post in my journal.

Last week at work, my supervisor asked me to train our other blind co-worker in media calls. I have no problem helping her learn to navigate the various screens, helping her know what screen reader commands work the best. The problem with completely training her is that she uses headphones, so I can't hear her speech, and two people can't read a Braille display at the same time. She would tell me what her display said, but that had its own issues as well, because having learned Braille as an adult, she's not really a speedy reader, and she couldn't always tell where her cursor was. I took her as far as I could in the one day I worked with her, but since this involves releasing information to the media, I told my manager I think I need a sighted person to be with us when she actually attempts a call.

In other news, I learned that I'm a bit anemic, so my doctor recommended iron supplements. She told me in the letter she sent that she ordered them to be picked up at our usual Kaiser pharmacy, so off we trotted this afternoon to get them. It turned out this is an over-the-counter medication, which we could have gotten at a place closer to home, and the Kaiser pharmacy was all out of the medication anyway. So we did some running around, and finally found something similar at Rite-aid. I would have been really upset if I'd had to do all this on public transportation. I was irritated enough with poor Dunu having to drive us all over the place. But the good thing was that we got our grocery shopping done this afternoon while we were out, so we get to sleep in tomorrow. Yay!

This has been a four-day weekend for me, because Friday was a furlough day, so it's been a very relaxing time. And next Friday is another furlough day, so I only have to work three days this week. Gotta love it!

Okay, that's my latest news. Hope you're all enjoying the long weekend.

Popping in for an update
Hi, all. It's been over a week since I last updated LJ, so figured it was about time to remedy that.

Last Thursday, Dunu and I went to see Cats with our friend Frances. I'd never seen it before. I enjoyed the music, but it's mainly visual, so it wasn't one of my favorite musicals. After the show, we went to a pizza place that a friend of ours co-owns. It was great food, and it was nice to see our friend. On Friday, Dunu had to have some dental work done, so the poor guy was pretty uncomfortable in the evening. He used a bag of frozen vegetables for an ice pack, and when they thawed out, I got to eat his ice pack. Yummy. We did our normal weekend stuff, and I'm happy to say Dunu is feeling much better, and eating normally.

I think that's really about all that's been going on in our quiet little corner of the net. Just figured it was time to let y'all know I'm still alive.

I really love furlough days!
Hi, all. I'm sure I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I really love furlough days. Of course I don't like the pay cuts, but I love the extra time. It's so nice to sleep in on furlough days, and then to get up and have a leisurely cup of coffee with my bunny, and then to just do whatever I want to do.

Yesterday I had a good chunk of time to just read and reflect, then in the afternoon I took care of some routine medical stuff, before coming back home to more relaxation.

I wonder of our dear Governator is hoping that a lot of state workers will decide to retire because we enjoy the furlough time so much. I really don't have any plans to retire, but I'm wondering if I should perhaps start exploring that possibility, just so I'm ready if and when that time comes.

Other than that, not much is going on. JK and J are still loving New Jersey and New York. They both have jobs, and they're both loving it. Dunu and I are missing them, and will go visit them at some point. But right now they're so busy that I wonder how often we'd actually see them. So maybe we'll go to Portland again before we visit Jersey.

So that's the latest from my corner of the net. Time to check up on everyone else.

Popping in for an update
Hi, all. I really am still here, honest. It's just that by the time I get around to LJ, it's late, so I just read and don't say much.

I don't have a whole lot to report. I'm really enjoying my furlough days, even though I don't like the pay cut. On the last furlough day, I started poking around on the net, and learned about an upcoming silent retreat in October that I'd like to go to, if I can find someone to go with, since it's in another city a couple hours away. But in the meantime, I bought the book and accompanying music CD relating to the material. The author of the book is Macrina Wiederkehr, and the book is called Seven Sacred Pauses. The CD is by Velma Frye, and it's called Singing Mindfully from dawn to dusk, or something like that. I find they really help me pray.

Other than that, life just goes on. I was pretty busy last week, with lots of voice songs to Braille, as well as choir songs, along with upgrading my BrailleNote. I was feeling pretty overwhelmed. But once I sat down and did everything, it wasn't as bad as it seemed it would be.

So that's the latest in my life. I'll now go back into lurk mode, but will hopefully pop up sooner for another update. I know, I keep saying that, but one day I really will!

I love furlough weekends!
Hi, all. I've decided I really love furlough weekends. Of course I don't like the 14 percent pay cut, but I really like having three long weekends a month. I don't even necessarily do anything special on the Furlough Fridays. I get up and have coffee with my bunny, then hang out on the net, and just do whatever sounds fun. This past Friday, Dunu and I went to see the new Harry Potter movie. I really enjoyed it. There were things that were different than the book, but I knew there would be, as they're two different media, so I didn't let it bother me. I loved Slughorn, and the guy that plays Dumbledore didn't drive me as nuts as he usually does.

The rest of the weekend was just spent doing normal stuff: my voice lesson, Mass, etc. I was a bit anxious, as I hadn't heard anything from JK for a few days, but I got an e-mail from her tonight, which was great. They're still loving it back there, and they're having a lot nicer weather than we are here. I offered to send them some of our California heat, but I don't think they're going to take me up on my offer.

So that's the latest news from my corner of LJ land.

First week without JK and J
Hi, all. Well, it was a week ago today that our daughter JK and her boyfriend J landed in New York and made their way, dragging tons of luggage, to their new home in New Jersey. We've talked and e-mailed a lot, and it sounds like they're getting settled, slowly but surely. J got a job delivering burgers on his bicycle; he starts Monday. JK is still looking, but she thinks Starbucks might be promising.

Thursday was my birthday (thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone). It was a pretty quiet day, which was fine with me. We went out to dinner last Wednesday at The Cheesecake Factory, which was nice, and just enjoyed a quiet night at home on my birthday. In fact since JK and J left, things have been really quiet. We did go to the Effie Yeaw Nature Center on Sunday and wander around on the trails, which was fun. We saw a herd of deer, and they were so close that I could hear them, which was really neat. But other than that, we've just been relaxing here at home.

Now that I have a third furlough day every month (thanks, dear Governator), I'm going to really miss JK and J, as "furlough Fridays" were our days for going out for sushi. But as long as we keep the e-mails and phone calls coming, I think I'll survive.

So that's pretty much what's been going on with me.

The Big Day
Hi, all. Today's the day our daughter JK and her boyfriend J move to New Jersey. They're catching a midnight flight and will fly all night. It's hard to believe this is it. They've been living with us for the month of June, and we've had a wonderful time, so this is bittersweet for us. But I'm excited for them, as they start their new life, and it will be fun to visit them at some point. My only disappointment is that the car is so full of their luggage that I won't be able to ride to the airport with them, so I'll have to say my good-byes here. Oh well, in some ways short and sweet is easier.

This week's update
Hi, all. I know that's a dorky subject line, but I couldn't think of anything snappy.

There's really not a whole lot to report. DSL is still working fine, but I'm still considering looking for a new DSL provider, and just keeping Earthlink dial-up for vacations. But it's nice to have it up and running for now.

JK and J are still here, getting ready for their big move to Jersey City. We've been having such a good time that I hate to see them leave. J is an excellent cook, and we've been having wonderful meals: fish tacos, pasta, and wonderful breakfasts. Today we had a lovely Father's Day brunch outside.

So that's the news from this part of the world. We just continue to move along, being excited for JK and J, but hating to see them move so far away too.

A Fun Video
Hey, all, here's a fun video for you. It's a group of dancers doing a number from The Sound Of Music in a train station in Belgium, or some foreign country. I made JK describe it to me, and apparently it starts out with just six dancers, and ends up with something like 100 people, and I guess the reactions of the people going about their business are quite interesting. Enjoy.

DSL is up again!
Hi, all! Well, our DSL is up again, no thanks to Earthlink. The guy from the phone company came out today and couldn't get a signal, so he took it upon himself to go check the main box, and lo and behold, the whole problem was caused by someone plugging something into the wrong port, which caused us to lose our DSL. So we've been functioning on dial-up for a week, probably going way over our 20 free hours (as I used some of that on vacation the week before), paying for DSL that we couldn't use, and paying for shipment of a modem that wouldn't have worked anyway. So I called Earthlink and they're going to send me a return label for the modem. With the modem would come a one-year contract with them, and I don't want to be under a contract with them. But it's nice to have the faster connection back up. JK and J, who are staying with us, just bought a laptop, and I got them online with us. So now Dunu is on the big computer, JK and J are on their laptop, and I'm on my BrailleNote, and it's all made possible to our newly-revived DSL connection!

What a week!
Hi, all! Well, there's never a dull moment around here. I looked forward to settling down to our nice routine when we returned from Portland, but that was not to be. After Portland, I worked two days, and then took another four-day weekend, to use up my furlough days; so I had Thursday and Friday off, and then the weekend. Wednesday night we had a wonderful thunderstorm, with almost constant lightning. I, of course, got up and turned off the computer, and then an hour or so later I turned it on, because the storm seemed to have gone away. More rain came in later, and the power flickered, which caused the computer to turn off, but I didn't think much of it. The next morning I started doing e-mail, and got a couple messages sent, and then my DSL went down, and it still hasn't come up. We called Earthlink twice that day, and were told they were doing some kind of line migration or upgrade, and it might be a couple days. On Friday evening we called for an update, and they said it should have been up and referred us to their higher priority customer support, for all the good it did. They had Dunu plugging the modem into different places, including the phone box, but it still wouldn't work. The technician told us he'd have a technician from the phone company come out, just as Dunu pulled the wrong plug out of the phone box and disconnected us. So I tried to call back, and told them we'd been disconnected just as the Earthlink technician was going to schedule us with a phone company technician. Well the new Earthlink person left us on hold forever, then said she'd call us back. She did, to tell us that they were going to send us a new modem, because the signal on the line was good, but our modem wasn't receiving it. So we figured the phone company thing wasn't going to happen. Well, today we came home to find a message from the phone company, saying they'd come to fix our DSL problem, but couldn't get access to the phone box (probably because no one bothered to tell us they were coming!). So now they're coming this Friday, which is our day off. I really didn't want to spend my day off waiting around the house, but such is life. And our new modem is supposed to arrive on Monday. Until then, I'm using dial-up. Even though I'm totally frustrated, I can't help being amused too at how a few years ago I thought dial-up was fast enough for me. Amazing how times change!

And as if all that wasn't enough, last Friday our bunny Cinnamon, stopped eating and pooping, and had to spend the night in the hospital, to the tune of $600. She's doing great now. We can tell she's getting better, because she really fights taking her medication, and when she wasn't feeling well, she took it willingly. I'm happy she's better, but it was so much easier to give her the medication before!

So maybe in a few days this craziness will be over, and we can settle down again. But until then, I'm trying to just hang on and enjoy the ride.
