Lately I've been wanting to use my illness as an excuse for the way I act. I shy away from conversations and really want to blame it on my SZA. I know deep down that it isn't my SZA. I have been shy my whole life. So why do I have this desire to blame it on the SZA? I don't know the answer or maybe I'm unwilling to accept the truth. Anyway I ain't gonna blame it on anything. I will face the fear and overcome it.

 

I finally got my front tooth back. I broke my upper partial a few months ago. I went to the dentist office for a cleaning and while I was there I had her fix my tooth. Now I don't look like a jack o' lantern anymore. I can finally smile. WOO HOO!! Happy dance!!

 

Margaret and I went to the mall looking for a suit jacket to match my khaki pants. We found a nice one. While we were up there I wanted to show her the white suit I've been eyeing. I had no intention of buying it. The owner of the shop was nice. He said the suits were on sale. We bought it. There also was a cool shirt. When the owner lowered the price, that's all he needed to say, we bought it.

 

Two of my neighbors and I helped each other rake leaves. The guy across the street used his leaf blower and the other neighbor and I bagged em. All together we had about 10 bags of leaves. People helping people to pay it forward.

 

I will close for now.

 

Keep your feet on the ground, the sun on your face and the wind at your back. Live, love, laugh, learn, listen, David

Hi Dave,

 

Wear the new suit in good health!

 

I bought a red wool military jacket that I like because it has a pocket on the left sleeve.  I hope the tailor can hem the sleeves so that they look okay.  Even thought the jacket is a 4P (petite) I always have to get the sleeves hemmed of any petite item of clothing anyway.

 

Enjoy the suit.

 

Regards,

Christina

Hey Dave,

 

I can totally relate to avoiding conversations.  I just flat out don't think I enjoy talking.  It requires too much thought for me - if that makes sense.  I have to snap out of this pattern if I am going to be successful in disciplining my daughter.  I went to Social Anxiety Group meetup yesterday to help and I think my therapy is helping as well.  I am discovering that I am very shy and don't know if it is related to my SZA.  I remember always needing a drink before socializing with the women though. 

 

Have a great day. 

 

Rene
