Morning Guys!
Well, it took every bit of my pacing skills to get through the music course at Boston College last week.
They have you going morning, noon and night! I took two tin whistle lessons a day, played in sessions, attended nightly concerts and even found time to use the college's pool and Jacuzzi! :)))) Between classes, there are a lot of activities offered but that's when I headed back to the dorm and napped. Despite that, I was still exhausted by the last day. Of course, staying up till 3AM the last night, didn't help! LOL Every night, after the concert, the teachers would play in the dorm, up on the 5th floor all night! Everywhere you went, you could hear traditional Irish music. If you wanted to sleep, you needed ear plugs! The campus cops showed up but they were cool and suggested we close the windows and put on the A/C. :)))))
I came down with a nasty head and chest cold but it's funny, when you're having fun, you don't seem to mind as much! LOL I also felt terrific emotionally. I guess the busier I am, the better it is for me mentally.
We're packing today for a month in Ireland. First I have to go to the dentist. :((((( I bit on something hard and heard a crack. It's in the root of the tooth and it's too late for oral surgery so I'm hoping it doesn't act up while I'm away. I just have to remember not to chew on that side! LOL I couldn't get a medical upgrade from Aer Lingus so I'm hoping the flight isn't sold out so I can grab a few seats and lay down. I can't decide whether or not to take a lot of meds and try to sleep or just drink coffee and stay up all night. I'm not looking forward to the flight. :(((((
My sister's tell me that my Mom is sneaking cigarettes even while she's hooked up to the oxygen!!!! She's gonna blow the house up with my son and sister in it!!! I'm telling her doctor. Kevin's Dad is still having trouble with the carotid artery pulse in his neck. It's driving him nuts with the constant pounding in his ear. Kev took him to the heart doctor yesterday and my son will take him again this Thursday to see if they can help him cause he's not getting enough sleep and thus, isn't getting stronger from his stroke.
I had 348 emails in my box despite going on daily digest for one week so I've gone to NO Emails till August. Please hold all private emails and jokes till then. :)))) I'm taking the laptop but who knows if I can find a connection in Ireland - I couldn't in the dorm in Boston. We mainly use the laptop to download digital pics onto CD's.
I hope youse guys have a great July and I'll tell you all about Ireland when I return. Have REVO - will travel!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jo
