Lots of fun: Susan's weekly commentaries

Oh, yes, and it is definitely much more than knitting when I get together with Susan every week.

Susan is a going concern. She is effervescent, refreshing, and more than a bag full of knowledge. She is like a breeze in a bottle.

I knit and she checks my work. She guides me along in my knitting and then? I ask her to give me feedback on the headlines of the week and she is always ready to do just that.

I continue to learn so much from this wonderful lady!

Stressful and scary: The aftermath of a horrible exam experience

 

I don’t think that I was really prepared for this one but at the end of the day? Nothing is impossible!

I went prepared. I followed all of the preparations that I needed to do before the exam commenced and then came the tidal wave!

Stephie had already left and now it was just me with the scribe in the exam room. The young lady logged into the exam and read the instructions to me. I consented to the terms specified for taking the exam.

Then came the tidal wave. When she opened the core of the exam, the very first question contained diagrams and required my scribe to describe. She faltered and desperately said that she did not know how to describe them to me.

I then asked her to take a quick look at the list of questions to see how many other questions were similar in pattern. She checked and told me that there were several. Bang, and there was the tidal wave!

I decided to bring a halt to this horrible moment and I called Stephie and asked her to return! With heart beating quickly and a very concerned Stephie, I left knowing that yet another glitch in unequal learning had just occurred.

Cool heads prevailed: When Stephie temporarily lost my credit card

 

Circumstances such as these and bumps in the road are always going to take place and the best solution for me is to remain calm and logical. On this day poor Stephie, in her effort to help me all the way, became over zealous and in the middle of it all she temporarily lost my credit card.

So what did I do? Painfully and slowly I helped to trace her steps after I had given my card to her for safe keeping. And presto!  It worked.

There it was!  Lying on the floor inside the door of her apartment. Matter resolved!

Engaging with something new: Instagram

 

Thanks to Ran and Blair, I have gingerly entered the world of Instagram. For the most part, I have deliberately avoided engaging with Instagram because of the challenges of accessibility and navigation.

I am very fortunate to have Ran and Blair beside me. I know that this is not a perfect solution in that I am not independent enough to do this on my own. However, it is the best solution for now.

Exciting but also nerve racking: Exam Time

 

You would think that by now I should be used to sitting exams. Not quite there as yet but working on it.

It is a moment of nervousness, anxiety, excitement, and so much more. It is a time to be strong, committed, and determined to succeed. 

Easier said than done?  Got to work on it.

Blown away! The iPhone Translator

 

Guess I am never too old to learn, eh? The other day when Stephie and I went shopping at a Chinese supermarket, we were challenged to communicate with one of their agents. He did not speak much English and our skills to communicate in his language were zero.

So,what did he do? He pulled out his trusty iPhone and through gesturing and pointing, we managed to somehow tell him what we were seeking.

Presto!  He found what we were looking for in no time. Another wonder of the iPhone translator.

Faithful to the end: My Precious Orchids

 

For so many years now I have had the good fortune to be able to grow orchids and keep them in the window of my living room. When I had enough vision, I loved to admire and marvel over their gorgeous colours. And now that I can no longer see them, I find enjoyment in touching their thick flowers.

I run my hand up and down their stalks and I fondle their thick luscious leaves. I simply love communicating with my precious orchids.
