June, 2011
Happy June, everyone.
Summer solstice is coming, and early in the morning on Tuesday, June 21 I will be back among the sacred stones in SW Calgary for the sunrise vigil (only 4 more left until the Mayan calendar runs out!) If you’d like to join me, let me know. We’ll repair to Tim Hortons for breakfast before heading off to whatever we do with the rest of the day.
For those of you who have been wondering about Margarian, as of early May her condition had deteriorated to the point that instead of waiting for the peritoneal catheter, her kidney specialist decided to put in a central venous catheter (i.e. a tap from her jugular to her heart) for immediate hemodialysis. She’s been going in for dialysis at the Foothills on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights, and will be seeing her specialist at the beginning of June about the peritoneal. In the meantime, she’s been feeling somewhat stronger and more clear-headed, and her appetite is coming back.
As for me, I’m facing the double-nickel in the middle of June, and definitely feeling over-the-hill. At least my father’s estate is finally probated, so that things are beginning to move ahead there.
Happy 2nd Anniversary to Rikki and Gavin on June 21!
June's Birthdays: Nicole G, Bev T., Colleen W., Dawn, Joie, Sierra, Michelle B., Mimi, some browned-out HP, and probably some of his Facebook friends. Also Gerald Gardner (Jun. 13, 1884), Starhawk (Jun. 17), Janet Farrar (Jun. 24), Scott Cunningham (Jun. 27), and Stewart Farrar (Jun. 28). Let me know if I’ve missed yours.
