Dear Diary,

I spent much of yesterday afternoon and evening making, or trying to make, phone calls. I called Joan (my aunt) to give her the exact address of the hospital but she wasn't home, so I left the address on my answering machine. I called Jack and Viv (older brother and his wife) to tell them about the surgery, but they were in Hawaii visiting Viv's daughter. I called Jan and Alan (sister and her husband) to tell them about the surgery, but they weren't home either. Joan did call back when I wasn't home with a message that she would call later in the week.

I also called Janet to see about borrowing her car to go to group Tuesday evening, but she was still at work the first time I called and when I did get in touch with her, she said that it wouldn't be possible since she has to be at school studying for her anatomy test on muscles. So I called Hallie and lined up a ride with her, although it means waiting for a few hours for group to start.

I also called Steve who provided me with a life to the airport this morning to pick up the plane tickets, which went off without a hitch (I was a little afraid they might hassle me a bit because I was using someone else's Mileage Plus coupons), but when I told her that April and I were meeting in Wisconsin, there was no problem.

The ride to and from the airport with Steve and Sarah (Steve's daughter) was very pleasant, as it always is with them. On the way home we stopped at Walmart, where I filled my scrip for Estinyl while Sarah went looking for toys :) Then we had a pleasant lunch at Wendy's.

Steve and I talked about the reaction of the community here to me and he says that from his perspective, people are surprisingly accepting of me...that he often hears people saying nice things about me. When I pointed out that didn't mean that they necessarily spoke to me themselves, he said that he noticed that. I suppose if they did, things might be a bit different here.

Except for the weather...a gloomy rainy day here...it was a very pleasant day.

Love and Peace,

Robyn
