How are YOU ?

Robin:
I'm so terribly sorry you have so many health problems in your family all at the same time. Hope your husband and son are well now. And for you, prayers and best wishes for a quick recovery from radiation and a complete remission.
Try to keep thinking how wonderful it will be to go away for a R&R trip. Please, let us know how you're doing.

I'm happy because I just finished my last night with "The Humper" (the airedale that kept trying to hump everything).

Other than that I've been a little stressed about my senior recital. Thankfully I decided to have it in the spring semester, but it's still stressing me out a little. I have so much to prepare, I'm playing a lot of hard pieces. One in particular that has some techniques that I've never learned or used before, so now not only do I have to learn, but I have to be able to do it well. If my recital doesn't go well then I can't graduate. But the good news is that my parents said they are going to try their best to come out here for my recital, it would really mean a lot to me if they did.

On another good/stressful note, my friend who is a compostition major said he wants to commision a piece for me. Meaning that he wants to write a bassoon solo that is just for me, he will be publishing it and so on and hopefully other people will play it as well. But I am his reason for writting it, and he wants me to premier it. The stressful thing is that it's more music to learn, and it's always stressful when the actual composer is there listening. He wants me to give him recording of my favorite bassoon solos so he can get an idea of what I like to play so that he can make sure that I will like what he writes.

Gosh Uabassoon...You sound busy. I think it all sounds exciting though. I know you will practice and work hard and at your recital you will play it like the fabulous musician that you are! I hope your mom and dad are able to make it there. What a great compliment that your friend wants to commission a piece for you. I'm sure you will play it wonderfully. Let us know how everything turns out.

Hi Johanna...I have been wondering about Binx also. How is he doing? I remember that you said he was going to have another surgery, but I can't remember when you said it was. Let us know how everything is going?

No you havn't and I'm glad ot hear you are doing good. My Uncle got his leg amputated yesterday so my family is all up in a crazy mode so home life is stressful right now. He's doing fine but it was still scary. School is going good and my friends are awesome. So I guess I'm doing good.

WOW. Losing a leg is (to say the least) stressful. But I hope all are glad that he lost his leg and not his life (I sure hope I worded that right. Just want you all to be greatful to still have your Uncle with you). Take care of yourselves and try to enjoy life........sometimes it can be very short. Prayers to your Uncle and your whole family and to you.

Hey, Jen- my mom is doing pretty good. School has started back for her, and it is always an adjustment. Her summer went too fast. We went out for a little bit today, just ran some errands. I will tell her you asked after her.

Wolfsoul and Robilee- the story on Binx's gums....the vet and periodontist are going to try one more time...I think this week, and take a section of his gum down to the peridontal ligament, and scrape some bone to see if this will stop the gum from growing back. It will just be a small section, 1-2 inches, on his bottom gum. IF it stays gone, THEN we will explore doing his whole mouth. If not, well, Binx = Gumby. It just isn't physically/emotionally worth it to keep trying things on him.

Thanks for asking!

Hey Kelly, I've been trying to catch you. I didn't log on AIM for awhile because my fosters are keeping me busy and I've had bronchitis for a month. I am feeling better though and I hope to catch you SOOOOOOOOOOOOON. I miss our chats
