Lloyd is rattling just a smidge. Maybe. My appointment at Johns Hopkins on Wednesday showed a small new spot. I will go back in two months and find out if it was just a bad look (we hope and Dr. G suspects) or something worth worrying about. I'm trying not to start early.
Other than my MRI, brain things seem very much the same. Don't believe me if I tell you the color of something; I'm wrong most of the time. Spelling is similar but more easily fixed with my omnipresent iPhone.
Similar to spelling is temporary word loss (no doubt there is a fancy name for this). I lose my words frequently and replace them however I can. Example: I want to say "breakfast cereal" but can only achieve "crunchy milk brown box." Mark often does the shopping and I will send him a picture note of the scribbled grocery list we keep on the refrigerator door. My spelling/words are so bad that I started correcting the list before sending the photo. Mark immediately noticed that I was doing this and asked that I stop; he likes my crazy words and thinks its fun to figure out what I've asked for.
I recently read Dune for the first time and now I'm rereading The Scarlet Letter. I'm selling handmade jewelry on Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/AglaiaDesign) as opposed to starting my own sight again. It is a hobby I enjoy, and I believe getting my hands dirty and keeping my mind occupied is good for me.
Mark has been outrageously busy with his work all summer. We are looking forward to the fall season when, hopefully, one of his major projects will conclude. The cats have been delighted to have us home every weekend.
Fall is my favorite season. I'm surrounded by so many good things, so much beauty, so many people I love and who love me. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful season!
Love,
Kristina (&Mark)
