Woodstock Fairgrounds....Relay for Life
[info]bluebeard_skull
fyi, the below is the event Leigh and I will be doing tomorrow. If you have time come down the product sales are great!

This year Relay for Life Northeastern CT will once again be held at the Woodstock Fairgrounds in Woodstock , CT on Saturday May 15 and Sunday May 16. This is a free event for the whole family. This is a 24 hour event with someone from our team walking laps all 24 hours. The Relay opens with a very touching ceremony and survivors walk the first lap (not a dry eye to be found) at 11 a.m. on Saturday and concludes with a closing ceremony on Sunday at 10:30 or so. You do not need to sign up on the team to join us to walk one lap, participate in children’s activities, wellness events, our UNFI Product Sale or take in the  opening or luminary ceremony. This event is free and open to the public; we would love to see more support from our peers. There will also be a Team Lap on Saturday afternoon and we would very much like to have a crowd on hand to participate in this.

 

 

 

The UNFI (bigger and better than ever) Product Sale will be held on Friday, May 14 from 3-6 p.m., Saturday, May 15 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sunday, May 16 from 8- 11 a.m. In order for this year’s sale to be successful we are looking for 8 volunteers for every hour that we are open. (128 person hours). We are in need of all the support you can lend; remember every penny goes to the ACS! This is also an opportunity for you to come and purchase products at $1.00 and fill your cupboards with natural and specialty products!

Update on CTRF Wedding photography offer...
[info]bluebeard_skull

I will not be taking the job of Wedding Photographer at CTRF. After long thoughts on the matter I do not want to go into that direction and want to focus on the faire itself. I will still pop over and take pics when asked.

Thank you again Susan for that incredible offer!


See you all at Faire!

Of course there is a lot of details/plans to work out, but just being asked is an honor. Doing photography for both CTRF & CTRF Weddings will be exciting!

Something a wise soul said:
[info]bluebeard_skull
Life is short. The recent passing of someone my own age, suddenly and unexpectedly, is a grim reminder of that fact. While I believe that life is not a finite thing, but rather our infinite souls are temporarily housed within the confines of a finite vessel, I do feel it's important to not take time for granted.

Tell people you love them. Do it often. Forgive more. Both others and yourself. Do what makes you happy. Indulge in, and surround yourself with the people that make you happy. The people that make you a better person. Don't wait for Valentine's Day, or any other Hallmark holiday. Don't wait for when Kay Jewelers says it's the right time. Don't wait for the diamond, or the house, or the perfect moment. There are no perfect moments. Just moments, and you never know when you've come to your very last one.

You are The Hermit


Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.


The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.


The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.


The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.


What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

My weight update
[info]bluebeard_skull
I have not posted anything about my weight hoping I would turn it around before CTRF faire starts, but I didn't. I have not worked out since my company moved back last December and I've gained about half my weight back.

No excuses. something always came up to distract me and I'd loose focus.

I'm posting this for my own owning up to it and realization of my situation. And to be honest with myself & my friends who supported my great weight loss last year.

I'm going to play it down at faire so is not to be any focus. I can & will get back to where I want to be.

Time will tell.

Joshua update....
[info]bluebeard_skull
Joshua is being released from Fairlawn Rehab today, he is going back to living with his sister, down the street from the accident. (not what I wanted)

My oldest daughter came up from Florida for a week and it was great seeing her, she said she is thinking seriously of moving back to MA!

Monday night I had a good visit with Joshua, he was refusing continued outpatient rehab/ visits from visiting nurses and therapy's.

I talked him into it!

My children never listen to my advice! When the case manager told me the next day he agreed to it I cried.... at work again.

This month has been a emotional time for me.

Hopefully he will take it easy and not rush into things. At least he plains on coming over this weekend to spend time with me.

Thank you all for your thoughts thru  this whole time.

Hugs

Joshua update...& Sugar Ray
[info]bluebeard_skull
Yesterday Joshua got to eat!  He has not been able to eat on his own since before his accident on July 24th.

Pics: img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/lukasvonskull/Joshuas%20accident%207%2024%2009/0804091239a.jpg


Leigh and I had tickets last night to see Sugar Ray, Fastball, Aimee Allen at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, Incredible concert!

We got there early and found out we could see Sugar Ray back stage after the concert.

For Joshua I got:

Sugar Ray new CD signed by the whole band, a drink cozzy signed by Mark Mcgrath and a signed giutar pick!

I talked to Mark Mcgrath about Joshua and he gave his well wishes, gave me a big hug and told me to tell Joshua to get better!

It was a cool night!

Update on Joshua...
[info]bluebeard_skull
Not much has changed with Joshua, because they took the brain pressure monitor off last night today they will start reducing medications, they are also removing the blanket and Tylenol for the fever to see if his body can handle the fever on its own. Giving him a chance to become less dependent on drugs.

Thank you for your thoughts at this time.

Update on Joshua...
[info]bluebeard_skull
Hi All,
Today Joshua was confirmed with a fever/ pneumonia and as you will see on his pics today he is wearing a iceman suit. (to keep him cool) it made him to cold so they shut it off and gave him different meds.
 
 
Best of all when he was brought out of his sleep today he moved all his limbs and gave a thumbs up on command!
That's my boy! Get better soon Son! Thank you all for your thoughts at this time.

Update on Joshua...
[info]bluebeard_skull
He is doing good.

His test results still are not back, so they started antibiotics for the infection in his lungs and let him wake up enough to see he is very active and reacting to commands.!!!!!!!

Overall good.

Thank you all!

Update on Joshua...
[info]bluebeard_skull
He had a good day yesterday but last night they changed a medication, it made him sick and he vomited with a breathing tube in which the nurse said would have pushed food in his lungs. The nurse did say Joshua might get pneumonia.  They switched him back to the other medication, stopped his feeding tube and took a few tests to see if he is getting pneumonia and then they will start that medication.

They say because of the type of injury he is expected to get worse in the next few days (swelling in the head), but overall he is doing great and they have a lot of hope it will all turn out fine.

Thank you for all your thoughts at this time.

John

Last friday my son was in a Bicycle to Van accident (both moving)
[info]bluebeard_skull
fyi, below is a news clip about my son.

You teach them the right ways and they do what they want & must learn on their own.

He had head surgery on Sat morning to remove a large blood clot, his head pressures are stable. Now its a waiting game, they want to keep him sedated for a few days so he'll heal.

Thank you all for your thoughts at this time.

"Rider hurt as bike hits minivan

July 25, 2009 Telegram and Gazette

Accident happened on July 24th around 5:00pm

By Steven H. Foskett TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF

The site of the bicycle accident in a photo taken several hours after the crash. The car in the picture was not involved in the accident.
(T&G Staff/MARK C. IDE)

WEBSTER —  A Stefanik Avenue man was seriously injured when his bike slammed into a minivan Friday night at Elm and Myrtle streets, police said.

Webster Police Officer Steven Cacciapouti said Joshua Pereira, 18, of 20 Stefanik Ave., was heading along Elm Street at “a good clip” when he slammed his bike into the side of a minivan driven by a 40-year-old Webster woman. Police did not identify the driver; Officer Cacciapouti said she will not be cited in the accident.

The officer said the minivan had the right of way, and said Mr. Pereira went through a stop sign while attempting to cross Myrtle Street. The officer said Mr. Pereira’s bike appeared to have struck the minivan squarely in the sliding door.

Officer Cacciapouti said Mr. Pereira was not wearing a helmet, and said the bike did not have brakes.

Mr. Pereira suffered a head injury and was taken by Webster EMS ambulance to UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus in Worcester. His condition was not immediately available last night. Members of the Central Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council Accident Reconstruction Team were called to the intersection to assist police with the investigation. "

Very scary dream last night/this morning...
[info]bluebeard_skull

It was a very clear dream, I was at a Ren Faire in a soft site that looked somewhat like most of the ones I attend in the area. I was not wearing garb. I had no camera. It was kind of empty and I was with this older couple shopping at their tables, I had both hands full of bags of stuff I just bought from them and from a distance the older man and I saw a tornado touch down near his wife and then disappear, We started to run for cover. I started to run into a fragile metal barn and he told me not to go there, so I just started running the opposite way because there was no other structures around. All of a sudden I was picked up, I was floating 20+ feet in the air thinking It was cool to float, but I knew this was the end and I was going to die .... and then I woke up!
 
Very disturbing...

Cool song... Dar Williams - "The Christians and The Pagans"
[info]bluebeard_skull



"The Christians and Pagans" on Mortal City simultaneously tackles both religion and sexual orientation through a tale of a lesbian/pagan couple that chooses to spend solstice with the devout Christian uncle of one of the women, thus creating a situation where people who would oppose each other on almost every political and cultural front try to get by on pure politeness. Throughout the song, the family members begin to discover their differences need not estrange them from one another.
