It's been strange lately. First, I have some inner ear infection, and every time I stand up or move suddenly, I feel "out of body" and stumble. We have been dosing my ear canals with peroxide, and hope to wash out the residue this morning. Slows down the aerobic exercise, I can tell you!<br><br> Then, months ago we bought tickets for the Indianapolis Jazz Festival when we heard that Aretha Franklin was going to be the top bill. She is my music hero, along with Joplin, so it was a dream of a lifetime to go hear her live. Well, went online Thursday to check out the schedule details, and she has cancelled! John Legend is filling her spot. He's fine, but she is AWESOME. So, we head over for the festival today. Rather disappointed, but that's life, I guess. <br><br> Then, my 83yo m-i-l had an appointment at the heart center, which she thought was to replace her pacemaker. I made myself a lunch, brought mags, my iPod and laptop, planning on being there all day long. They call for her, and I told them that I would slip out for about 30 minutes to run an errand. When I returned, she was waiting for me. WHAT??? Turns out, they just wanted to do the preliminary check, and we have to schedule the replacement in Springfield--2 1/2 hours away, and it will be an overnight! Oh, GREAT!!!<br><br>Needless to say, I've had my fill of surprises for awhile. [grumbling to self as I shuffle off for more coffee]
