So, I had a stroke... at such a young age that they are looking for causes.  No lasting impacts, but still there is the concern about why.  The stress I've been under for the last many years may be the cause or may simply compounded whatever neurological issues are going on with me.  Once I am a bit better, I am going to the police station to report the person who tried to run me down in the parking lot and initiate a restraining order.

For now, I will sit in my lovely back yard on a gorgeous day and watch the dogs play amidst the falling flowers from my oak tree.

Life is alright.
