A typical response!

http://www.888dag.com/

I have started a series of treatments with Traditional Chinese Medicine for my tennis elbows....yes plural!!! Both arms are f8cked! I just like to share with you guys the typical response when I meet new people for the first time!

When I walked into the clinic and met the person who was doing it and he was talking away without looking at me. I had to stop him and explained that I needed to see his lips to read them as I am Deaf. Automatcially he looked straight at my ears!! What was he expecting to see?? Elephant ears, cauliflower ears, them little bits behind the ear, etc.

Them little bits in my ear are hearing aids!!! They do NOT help me to listen but just make me feel "connected" to the world. He started yelling at me thinking it will help.....grr....no need...just speak normally and we both will feel comfortable with each other!

Since then, things have been good and his gestures are building up each time I go in as has a very very thick chinese accent. His hands are amazing when they are working on my elbows!!! Few more sessions to go....

Seussical has come to an end!!! Sob!

www.888dag.com

Last Friday was .....wow!! It was a lovely performance! Full on musical, even though I am profoundly Deaf I ensured I was in the front row with my family in order to be able to see easily as well as feeling the vibrations of the singing and dancing of the kids, my two girls included!!

The preparations went well....another session of hair teasing. Didn't I mention the infected finger?? Yes, after the first performance my finger was playing up so went to the doctor and she reckoned there was some kind of foreign body visiting my finger so it got infected! I am now on a course of antibiotics!

After 4 sessions, I got to know the kids more as well as meeting new parents. The benefit of that is I went to the netball rep trials the following Sunday and met up one of the new mums who helped out with Seussical otherwise I could have ended up all day alone not knowing anyone!!

If you have kids and have some time, worthwhile being involved in your kids activities!

Breathe! Breathe! Breathe!!

Finance tip...another one!

It is pretty obvious!!!

Pay off your credit card debt. Credit card debt is usually the debt with the most interest. So pay it off first. Better yet, don't accumulate it in the first place!

Seussical

It is going to be a frantic week!!! Why???

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe

It will all work out well in the end.....what?..what????

Frantic because I volunteered to do the hair and make up for my girls school musical called Seussical!!! How many kids?? 50!!! How many performances?? 4! Crazy aren't I? Mind you I am not the only volunteer...thank god!

Yes! It had to be something like Seussical with heavy makeup and extravagant hairstyles!! Just in case for those who are trying to work out what Seussical is....a story with Dr Seuss!!! Cat in the Hat!!!

Did the first lot yesterday and it was successful...all done in 1 hour and 16 minutes!! LOL!

Breathe ...breathe...breathe.....3 more to go!!
