New Student in Life Story Writing

Today I had an interesting new student in my life story writing class. He has 8 children and has worked at many interesting jobs. He plans on writing for his family, and I will meet with him to help him with his project. He may also need some help with typing as well. Time will tell what his needs will be.

My class is small at the Y, but I still enjoy the work. I have also gone swimming there the last two days. Today I did line dancing and swimming and I also went to my writing class.

Writing is a wonderful way to express your emotions. It does help to sort out whatever you are dealing with.

A Block Island Day Trip

Today, I had a suprise day trip to Block Island on the fast ferry. I needed a day's vacation, and when I went to see the fast ferry for Block Island, I was trying to decide if I wanted to take the boat. Then flying by was a green ticket that landed on the ground near my feet. I picked it up and asked the ticket person for the boat if it was any good. He said yes, so I climbed aboard and left for the 30 minute ride to the island. I only stayed a short time and took the boat back by buying a return ticket. The ride was lovely and I enjoyed a break for a day.

I also noticed that someone from England and Australia is reading this blog. Welcome to whoever you are . I guess I am now international. How exciting. Love to hear who you are.

Fancy Nancy Says: Everyone needs a day vacation ! Take one, it helps!

A Full Day Saturday

Today I had planned to take a day off, but Marty needed some things done. Then I went to exercise , but the Y was closed in the afternoon. After a short walk, I came home and took a nice nap.

I find naps help me out a great deal. I guess I need them. At night my son Steven came over and we went for ice cream. Overall, the day turned out well.

I will meet my neighbor tomorrow and she will show me the place she runs . If I ever needed to recuperate, I might consider going there. Her grandma is there now. Marty does not seem interested in even seeing the place.

Some folks do not want to widen their horizons. I guess Marty is in that category. I feel differently. I like to learn.

Fancy Nancy Says: Knowledge is power.

A Wonderful Lunch With My Son Richard

Things are looking up. I had a wonderful day with my daughter yesterday, and today I had a great lunch with my son Richard. Last night my son Steven arrived. I guess my kids were worried about their mom. They have been great. I am lucky to have such caring kids.

I hope to travel in August with my daughter , Lynn. It would be a real treat for me.

In life you need to add fun things to balance off the problems. Things go up and down and we have had the down, now it is time for some up things.

Fancy Nancy says: Look up when you are down.

A Lovely Day With Lynn

I have a wonderful daughter who is a good listener and very wise. I was lucky she was free today, so we did many nice things and she helped me with a dental visit as well. I enjoyed her company and it was a fun day.

Tomorrow is a dental appointment with a different dentist. My teeth consume a lot of time, money and energy. I have never been lucky with my teeth. I was glad to meet with a sensible dentist who seemed like he might be on answer for my future dental work.

I am still tired, but hopefully, things will improve each day. Marty is still healing and worn out as well. Mother Nature will tell us when the right time is to feel better.

Fancy Nancy Says: Respect Mother Nature, she always wins!

Fancy Nancy is on Overload

This past week has been so crazy. Well today I enjoyed my teaching, helped Marty with his errands and totally forgot an afternoon appointment. The diagnosis, I am on overload. Tonight I stayed home and tried to catch up on paperwork. I am overdue for a time out.

As soon as Marty can drive, I need a break. Time will tell. He still gets very tired, but is doing better. One day at a time.

Fancy Nancy Says: I am worn out.

An Interesting Connection

Today I met two interesting ladies . One was from Conn. and she is looking to relocate to Rhode Island. She wants to rent a place in Narragansett. I showed her my house, and even though I have never rented, it gave her an idea. Who knows, perhaps I will consider renting . Time will tell. In any case, she was lovely .

We did some grocery shopping and both of us were worn out. I decided to hire a helper . I think we need one at this time. Tomorrow , a lovely gal who lives near us will come over for the morning. This makes good sense. Time to get some help.

Life is a roller coaster lately.

Fancy Nancy Says: Hang in there!

A Very Helpful Driver

Today a man who lives up my street helped me by driving me to see my doctor in Prov. I hired him and it turned out to be a good move. I was too tired to drive round trip myself.

Thank goodness the medical report worked out well. Also, he helped me analyze some problems I am going through. We got back about 4pm and then I took a nice swim at the Y. I start to teach again next week. This past week has been confusing and stressful.

Trying to Get Organized!

This past week was tough. I had a fire, was hit by a car, and Marty had surgery. Well, Marty is home, the house is rewired, and my car is still being fixed. I hope things will improve. It seems that when things comes in bunches, it can really wear you out.

My solution, extra naps, since I am tired. My insurance agent has been great. They will help wil part of the payment for the electrical work that was done all week. The driver who ramed my car he did have insurance as well. They will cover the damage. What a confusing week this has been.

Now , I could use some relaxation. I hope nothing else goes wrong. Time for bed.

Fancy Nancy Says: Nice naps work to heal the body and the mind.

Never A Dull Moment

Today I am trying to get organized before the electricians arrive again 8 am to continue their work wiring my house. I also got a call from an insurance adjuster about the accident that happened on Thursday. They want to meet with me.

What a confusing week this has been. My son was very nice and took me to CVS. My daughter and husband helped to take us to two Providence doctors yesterday. My kids have been great so far. Marty is getting stronger, but still needs to heal. He is not used to no tennis. For now his strength is limited.

His sons are 3000 miles away. So far they have connected by phone , but neither one arrived. At this time, I question their judgement. Next week I will get advice on how best to handle all these situations.

It seems someone upstairs is testing my strength. I wrote myself a note. Nancy, you are a wonderful person. You have done a great job. Might as well tell this to myself, since no one else has said it. It is true.

Fancy Nancy Says: At times you have to compliment yourself!

What A Crazy Week

Hi from Fancy Nancy. This past week I have not written due the extradinary circumstances that happened.

1. Marty had surgery 2. I had a fire in the house 3. My car was hit by another car 4. I had 3 dental apts.

My house is being totally rewired due to a small fire in a fixture. The electricians have been rewiring the house all week. Marty is out of the hosptial and today got a good medical report. That was the good news.

Yesterday my car was hit by a driver in back of me, so they took me to the hospital , and thank goodness I am okay, but the car is at the colllision center being fixed.

This was not a good week. I hope things improve.

To my readers, thanks for your patience with my blog. I guess in life there are times when it is tough. They say when things are tough , the tough get going. Right now , I am just worn out. Well, tomorrow is another day and with some luck , things will improve. As my daughter says, one baby step at a time.


Fancy Nancy says: Goodnight!
