I got bonked but good yesterday at Chuck E’ s by a wayward Skee ball. I do not recommend it and can only repeat how grateful I am that it wasn’t my little son who took the projectile to the noggin. It was well over 12 hours ago and I am not back to center, yet managed to connect all over North America.

I did call my Doc in Toronto and she assured me as long as I don’t have vision issues or vomit I will recover. Why a doctor in Toronto, you may well ask? 1. Cause she ain’t in Sweden right now. 2. My therapist in Texas didn’t return any of my calls!

It can get more international if you’d like — I was there with my friend from Germany and afterwards we went shopping at World Market. And for further long distance, I called my best friends in St Louis, Portland, South Dakota and San Francisco (well, I thought I was calling SF, but he was actually in NY when he picked up). All of that was after we placed a satellite call to the ship my son’s dad is a chef on. Before bed, I will try to call my other buddy in the Yukon .

I spent today on my bed, occasionally with damp washcloth over my eyes, not wanting to sit up or move much. I didn’t feel able to do many things and the one or two I did attend to were not major (eating, talking to neighbor briefly) or were not given as much energy as I’d have liked.

days like this I am glad for my Vonage phone but wish my global community were more of a local neighborhood.
