Pet Peeves

Yesterday I heard on a local radio station 4 women talking about their pet peeves. I thought I would write down some of mine.
One thing that really bugs me and I can't help notice is bad grammar, for example, double negatives like I don't never...or mispronunciations like calling the grasshopper infestation in Tucson the plag instead of pronouncing it it Plague with a long a sound.
Another pet peeve would be people who love to talk and don't stop to let anyone else get a word in. I mean, can't they see that they are boring everybody... can't they look outside of themselves and get a clue.
That is all for now, I will probably find a few more pet peeves now that my mind is turned in to that wave length. Signing off....

A New Year for Me

This past February, I had a full knee replacement on my right knee. It has been a tough recovery (pain and comfort wise) but rather easy mobility wise. My walking has improved 100% over the past few years. I can now tackle walking around a store even to the back (you know, where they keep the milk). I get impatient though and think my healing is over, but it is only 10 weeks out, plenty of improvement, but not totally up to full use yet. And I get really exhausted in the evening after a busy day. I am working 2 days a week for a psychologist downtown Tucson in the remodeled Barrio area. I enjoy the work and I enjoy that I only work part time. I also work part time for the AZ Region, Disciples Women's Ministries. Just put on the annual spring event in Tempe, good attendance, theme: Building Bridges. Keynote Cathy Nichols AZ Missionary from Palestine/Israel for the past 8 years. I learned alot.
