Hello!
I went to my surgeon yesterday for my 3 month checkup and
all is well. My CA-125 from May 22 was 10.3 so everything is just right on the
health front.
I attended my Ph.D. graduation on June 16 with my daughter
Lindsay, son Wes, granddaughter Taylor, and husband, Shannon. I presented my
paper to ITP on Friday June 15. Difficult to pare down 2 years of work and over
100 pages into a 15 min presentation, but I feel it went well. It was a
whirlwind weekend that started and ended with the 7 hour drive up and back. I
was so grateful for my family being there.
My last post mentioned that I had won one ribbon at the
fair, but I didn’t know at that time about any others. Turns out I won two
second place and two third place ribbons. So four out of the six quilts I entered, placed. I was
really amazed and happy about that!
Mojave Moon is still rehearsing and getting better all the
time. We have a great group and have become good friends as well as band mates.
I try to practice at least three to four times a week. After this week, I’ll be
able to bump that up to daily practice.
I haven’t done much sewing lately, but that will also change
after this week. I want to sew, play music, read, meditate and go to the gym as
my daily schedule starting next week. This is the first summer break in 6 years
that I do not have any papers due or books to read. I am looking forward to
concentrating on my creative, spiritual, and physical aspects for a change.
Time to get out of the mental/intellectual part.
Hugs to you all!
Dr. Dar. J
