I have been limping even more noticeably lately. I have had to go to therapy. I know I overdid it last week. I decided to begin working out these days. I have been gaining weight. I am just working at the clinic and going home to sleep. It has been crazy.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I hate going to therapy. They make me work like crazy. It gets harder and harder each session. I work at a clinic, which made things even worse. I had doctor telling me that I was limping more than usual. I was getting tired of people telling me that. Finally, one of the doctors told me that I needed to go see the doctor. I finally did. I got sent to therapy.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The kids at the clinic have been great. They have been hugging me and asking if I feel better. It is nice to have them care. One of the kids said that she would give me a massage. I thought that was so cute.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;My leg is feeling better, after a week of therapy. I am glad, too. I have to do three more weeks of therapy. The physical therapist told me that I can&amp;#8217;t work out like I did before. She told me some things that I can do to work out.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I won&amp;#8217;t be overworking myself again, to say the least.&lt;/p&gt;  </description><link>http://perfected1.alwaysinspired.info/2008/09/hurting-leg.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Me)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327402.post-115721468724872361</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Aug 2008 17:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-15T09:50:36.388-07:00</atom:updated><title>Adding New Entries</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I am adding new (well, older) entries to my journal, so, if it doesn't seem like there is nothing new being added, &lt;a href="http://perfected1.alwaysinspired.info/archives/2002_06_01_index.html"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://perfected1.alwaysinspired.info/archives/2002_07_01_index.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://perfected1.alwaysinspired.info/archives/2002_08_01_index.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Love ya!   &lt;br /&gt;Mary&lt;/p&gt;  </description><link>http://perfected1.alwaysinspired.info/2006/09/adding-new-entries.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Me)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327402.post-115453433128985759</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-15T09:49:43.637-07:00</atom:updated><title>Last Things</title><description>&lt;p&gt;What is the last movie you saw?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Over the Hedge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;What is the last CD you bought?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://dmadkins.alwaysinspired.info/"&gt;D.M.

He was really trying to impress me.  He ended up wasting steak sauce on a new dress that I had bought specifically for the date with him.  We are very good friends now.  What's up, Ron?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Describe the ugliest dress/outfit you have ever worn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;An Easter dress that one of my aunt's made me.  That thing was ugly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Title of the movie of your life.  Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Perfected One.  At the moment, the Lord is working on me.

I fell out of the window because I was playing around.  I fell out the window and broke my leg.

If it really feels good to you baby, let me take you away..."&lt;br /&gt;-Tony, Tone, Toni&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How's life and thangs like that?  So what's on the mind of Mary today?  No letter from Derrick today.  Maybe I should just write him.  I don't even know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately, I have been having crazy dreams.  Not crazy in the sense that they are really weird like R-rated, but mostly that they have totally nothing to do with anything.  The thing they have in common is that they all have one thing or another to do with some form of love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to hear about them?  Of course you do!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, there is one that I remember very clearly.  The others are kind of vague.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I call the dream:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Love Never Dies!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Yes, I give my dreams names.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dream stars me, Whoopi Goldberg, Arnetia Walker, a homosexual, and a body builder.  It is about this girl (me) who lost her mother when she was a year old and her father takes her to live with him.  (Although I do not know it, my father is being investigated on charges of jewel smuggling.)  A police woman (Whoopi Goldberg) moves in with my family as a maid to see if she can get any evidence on him.  After a lot of time has lapsed; my father dies in a police raid.  After the reading of the will, I receive a furnished house with a Mercedes and a Honda in the garage.  Whoopi adopts me and moves in with me.  Later on, her sister (Arnetia Walker) moves in too and I have two moms.  One is a "stable well-mannered, well-dressed sophisticated and intelligent woman.  The other is the exact opposite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it for the dream scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love ya!&lt;br /&gt;Mary&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.  I don't know where the homosexual came in.</description><link>http://perfected1.alwaysinspired.info/2002/08/crazy-dreams.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Me)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327402.post-115724172568992916</guid><pubDate>Fri, 30 Aug 2002 02:52:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-02T17:23:24.453-07:00</atom:updated><title>Maybe Life Isn't That Bad</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Dear You Know Who,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was missing something, well I at least thought I was.

Well, because my social life leaves little to be desired. All the guys I have ever liked have all seemed to just kind of fade away. First there was Quinton. I met him when I was 14. He was cute and things like that. He gave me a necklace and some earrings. I told my mom and she made me give it back to him, then she talked to him. After that, I never saw him anymore. There was Brian Jameson. Every girl at my school at one time or another had a crush on him. At the time, I had a crush on him, he had a girlfriend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BOMB...&lt;/strong&gt; There was DC Brown. He said that I was too sweet for him to mess over me and he never really said anything more to me than hi or how are you doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BOMB...&lt;/strong&gt; There was this guy named John Robert Proctor. I asked him to this Christmas dinner we were having at work. He couldn't go because he had a basketball game out of town. He transferred to another college because he did not get enough playing time. This was not really a bomb. He just kinda faded away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was this guy named Jerrod Patrick. I called him once and we had a class together other than that no contact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BOMB...&lt;/strong&gt; There is now this guy named Derrick Norman. We had been writing letters, but I have not received a letter from him since August 6. I don't know if this will end up as a bomb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until,&lt;br /&gt;Love ya!&lt;br /&gt;Mary</description><link>http://perfected1.alwaysinspired.info/2002/08/im-cryin.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Me)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327402.post-115721506425088687</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jul 2002 01:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-02T16:42:34.610-07:00</atom:updated><title>I Got A Man, Maybe</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Dear You Know Who,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"...One nite of touching', two nites of hugging, three nites of trust.

I may just be desperate and lonely. I really wish you were here because I need someone to talk to. Well, I wrote him a letter. He said he would write me. Maybe I am pushing him. I didn;t say anything in my letter that would show him that I liked him. I am so inexperienced at this. My life has been so sheltered.

Nothing is happening on my end.  I may have a chance to make a demo tape.  All it will cost is $95 for a 5-hour session.  That is a good price considering that it usually costs $100/hour.  The song that I may record is "He Can Fix It If You Let Him Try."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so happy.  There is a weird side to it all.  The morning I found out about the recording, I had a dream that Jimmy Jam showed me how to produce a demo.  Strange ain't it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I'm so excited and thangs.  Even though the guy I like only spoke to me today after I spoke to him.  In my fantasy, I run into his arms and he hugs me passionately and we kiss and kiss.  Oh well, I just woke up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SMILE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I must be dreamin'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love ya!&lt;br /&gt;Mary</description><link>http://perfected1.alwaysinspired.info/2002/03/i-must-be-dreamin.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Me)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327402.post-113592027643603654</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Mar 2002 04:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2005-12-29T22:24:36.436-07:00</atom:updated><title>I Feel Good</title><description>Dear You Know Who,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There's something about your love that makes me weak and knocks me off my feet...&lt;br /&gt;-Can't remember&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He said Word up!

So, I'm complaining again.  Ok, I'm alive, have my health and strength, clothes to wear, a shelter to live in, and a loving family.  (Yea right!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't even know why I'm here!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought slavery was illegal.  (Of course I am only kidding.)  But it sure feels like it down here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what's been up on your end?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't feel now that I have said all of this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate this blouse that I have on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I did was complain...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh brother!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love ya!&lt;br /&gt;Mary</description><link>http://perfected1.alwaysinspired.info/2002/02/oh-brother.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Me)</author></item></channel></rss>
