It’s been a bummy bumpy day today. I helped to go through Donna’s room to gather things together for Michel, her son. It was really surreal because I wanted to just sit down and cry. I did later. As long as her belongings were in the room, I was okay. Now they are all gone.
Tomorrow is her memorial service. I’m going to go because I need to be there. I have “pieces” of Donna in my room. They will be a constant reminder to be of the lovely, strong, dependable woman known as Donna Michel.

It’s been an interesting day so far. The kids are funny about doing the pronouns and antecedents. They think that they can’t do it – but they can. They are so funny when they think that they can’t and then do. I always know that they can – it’s if they will. That’s always the question that I have.
I heard something interesting on the Doctor Oz show which kind of surprised me. They were saying that people who write things down with pen and paper instead of typing it on the computer make a longer – healthier life. How interesting is that? They said that the reason this is – is because when you are writing it down with pen and paper that you are using more of your brain as well as your fine motor skills. Since I heard that, I’ve been writing things down a bit more to help those cognitive and fine motor skills.

I woke this morning to a cramp that ran up and down my back. It was living having a leg cramp in your shin. Bad. Very bad. I went to work and I shouldn’t have gone. It would not go away. At least it didn’t until I went home from work – I left at 12:15 and took some meds and went straight to bed. I slept some and it seemed to take the edge off.
I woke around 4 PM and then just relaxed for a little bit until I began to work on some audio for THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER. It’s such an awesome production. Jeffrey Gage did an outstanding job on the music for this show. It’s just absolutely beautiful. It’s amazing what that man can do with that program that he has. It makes the production (my part) seem flawless.
I’m hoping that I just get PRINCE AND THE PAUPER done so that I can turn it in tomorrow. I have a version done – so here’s to hoping that Jerry likes it.
I’m actually not trying to make things worse on my back. I’m not. I’m going to the chiropractor. I’m in pain therapy. I’m tired of having to deal with the stress of it. I’m going to have to go to my principal and talk with him about this so that he doesn’t think that I’m leaving to go joy riding.

I know that I need to take a break and relax. I know this. So - how can I do so when I have so much stuff to do?
I've been working on a lot of audio. A lot. Since this summer, I've worked on the following: Buck Alice, Jarrem Lee, Prince and the Pauper, Father Brown, Vincent Price (not completed) that I can just think of my own without looking back.
Prince and the Pauper is not completely done yet and it's due in 2 days!! 2 DAYS!!! The music is still being worked on and Jerry wants things changed now. I'm so seriously worried that they will not be completed b the 17th. It's just a constant worry and I don't want to make Jerry further behind. I do know that a bit of this is still because of what Chris did to Colonial. It's just nuts!
Jarrem Lee is supposed to get done as soon as possible because it's already on the air. We have two more to finish - the one that I'm working on right now and then the last one. Here's to hoping that I can get it done fairly quickly. It's just with Prince and the Pauper looming - it's hard to get focused on this - especially when I'm not really into Jarrem Lee anymore.
I do want to get back into Vincent Price. It was one of those fun things - turning Anastas into an ape was/is a rather daring task as well as keeping it decent sounding yet scary! It has some really interesting things in it and yet - I can't get to it because I have to go back and finish what someone else someone else can't do.
I really don't get that - I guess. I don't understand how I get picked to do some things when it seems that others can't. I'm not sure how that makes me feel. I know that I can get things done - even when I don't like to do it - but come on - why can't others do the same? Buck down and just do the work!
I have found out on the health front what is wrong with my back. My L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and S1 (that's all of my lower back going into my hip area) is degenerative. I don't have much "goo" in between the vertebrae anymore - so I'm going to have to go to physical therapy and then I was also told that I'm a prime candidate for cortizone shots in my back. I'm in pain. Sometimes constant, sometimes ache. It’s crappy that I have to have a lot of meds – Vicodan for pain and then Restoril for help with sleeping because Vidocan doesn’t put me to sleep anymore. This is starting to get a bit ridiculous. I’m tired of going to the doctor. I’m tired of being in pain. I’m tired of it all --- and I’ve not even started on physical therapy.
That’s something else. Physical therapy. They want me to leave during the school day to go to this and it’s not going to work. My principal is not going to let me leave during the day to do that when it comes down to it. I mean really.
So, now, I’m at school thinking about all of this and can only get more and more stressed because how am I going to get better if I don’t do the physical therapy or whatever my doctor wants me to do?
I’m just tired of all the pain – tired of being stressed out and tired of being tired. It just sucks! MAJORLY!
Frustrating.
On a totally other topic going back to audio – I’m starting to work on Quantum Retribution once again. It’s slow going but it’s going. At least it’s something – right? Right.
