French class and other stuff

Dean and I started our French class. Despite my years of French ( yes, a million years ago), I think he will blow right by me. Between his great English vocabulary, Spanish, German and Latin, he seems to know every word already and if he doesn't, he can guess or memorize it immediately. Here's an example: Dean, do you know what the word souris is? Must be MOUSE, I was just reading about the Souris River in North Dakota. Crap!!!

Anyway, it is fun to be doing a project together again. When we first started riding, we were so into it. We had fun buying all the stuff, reading and talking about it and actually riding and going on riding vacations.

People have been dropping in and out of the beach vacation. Right now, MIL is out BIL is possibly in and long-lost niece is probably in. I would like her to come.

I got a cortisone shot in each wrist and feel much better. This is the only shot he will give me so I have to be extra careful and take advantage of it. I actually can't really do anything. I'm supposed to keep my arms and wrist straight. It's hard to type, write, hold a book, wash my hair, talk on the phone, etc. Waling makes my arms ache and the bike at the gym is so big that it is just plain uncomfortable, not to mention boring. Dean had been doing everything in the house and driving me around (hardly go out) and I have been sitting around watching TV.. I am quite sick of it. Got Downton Abbey from Netflix and my sister sent me some DVDs of NCIS. I just started watching it even though it has been on since 2003.

I am going today to drop out of band for this semester since I can't keep my elbow bent to hold it while playing. I hope to get back in in September.

Can't go help out in SF and can't go to Florida to help parents because I could not handle being in the airport with purse, luggage, etc. and anyway would be useless while there.

Why oh why don't the people next door ever walk their three dogs??????????
