In Case Anyone Wonders

In response to any of my few readers who might be curious, I received an answer from the writer whose book I contributed to, so she is very much alive. She is recovering from severe hot grease burns on her leg, but the book is nearly finished, she says.

Also, I’m continuing to read the psychiatric case histories and warming up to the writer.

My best news this week is that my TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) chapter elected a new leader this week. As of April 1st she will take over my duties and I will become Co-Leader, and that’s not an April Fool’s joke. Now maybe I can start losing weight again. I was doing great until I took over the Leader spot.

In the last few days I’ve sorted through stacks of pictures I took in South Africa in 1998. It’s hard to decide what to keep, but I did toss quite a lot. I have to wonder how often I might look at them in the future. The best of the bunch have already gone into an album and I’m not sure it’s worth my time to make any more albums for the same trip.

There are still many more pictures to go through—both hard copies and on the computer. But at least I’ve started.
