Praying hands

Another journal.  Are you sick of these

yet?  I'm making three, possibly four

of these for Christmas presents.

At first I didn't have the fibre on it and

it looked so perfectly lined up that it

was just wrong.....So I thought adding the

fibre to the spine would break things

up a bit and I like how it turned out.

I'm not finished with it yet.  On the inside

I'm going to put a pocket on and include

a bookmark, probably with the Lord's

prayer on it.  I just love journals.  They're

a gift that will last rather than get used up

quickly.  That's always the best gift, I think.

I made the trip to Ft. Wayne yesterday to get

the birds groomed.  While there I met a 

man who has two amazon parrots and when

he saw Luna he really loved her.  The problem

is that one of his birds had to have surgery

recently for a benign tumor.  He's kind of

strapped.  I told him I would come down on

the price and gave him my phone number.

I'm really  hoping he can come up with

the money because he is the kind of person

I'm looking for-someone who knows birds,

knows they need a special vet and will give

her a loving home.  A prayer about this

would be greatly appreciated.

Yesterday evening my shoulder suddenly

felt like something was stabbing in it.  This

is not good.  I just had the cortisone shot

a month ago.  I really, really don't want to

have surgery.  It wouldn't help with my signing,

for sure.  I'd still go to classes and just

work on receptive skills, I guess.  But I'm

hoping it will stop hurting.    It's not even in

the same place as before.  This is right at

the top of my shoulder.  Not good.  Sigh.
