THURSDAY NITE I DID MY BI-MONTHLY BOOKING AT THE BOYSROOM IN THE EAST VILLAGE. ALL WENT WELL WITH THE SHOW AND AFTERWARDS I RETURNED HOME. FRIDAY MORNING I HAD SOME ERRANDS TO RUN AND HAD TO MAKE UP A FEW HOURS AT SCHOOL TO CATCH UP ON SOME WORK.I NOTICED MY ANKLE WAS FEELING STRANGE BUT KEPT ON ABOUT MY DAILY ROUTINE. AFTER SCHOOL I CAME HOME AND BEGAN THE RELENTLESS TASK OF CLEANING MY APT. AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF INTENSE ACTIVITY I DECIDED TO REST FOR MY 2AM SHOW AT ESCUELITA. I GOT INTO THE CITY AT MIDNITE AND STARTED TO PREPARE AT 1AM. BY THE TIME I FINISHED MY FACE AND STARTED TO GET DRESSED MY POOR ANKLE ALMOST HAD ME IN TEARS. THE PAIN WAS UNBEARABLE AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHY SINCE NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY HAD TAKEN PLACE THE NITE BEFORE. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I HOSTED THE SHOW FROM BACKSTAGE AND WAS RUSHED HOME TO REST MY FOOT. SATURDAY NITE I WAS BOOKED FOR A SHOW AS WELL SO I TOOK IT EASY ALL DAY WITH MOTRIN AND A MUCH NEEDED FOOT SOAK. I DRESSED DOWN FOR SAT'S SHOW AND WORE SNEAKERS. THE SHOW WENT WELL AND THE CROWD WAS NONE THE WISER.UPON RETURNING HOME I DECIDED TO GO TO THE ER SINCE I HAD A BUSY WEEK COMING UP. SEVERAL HOURS LATER AFTER X-RAYS AND A CAREFUL EXAMINATION THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD TELL ME OR DO ABOUT MY ANKLE BESIDES THE STUFF I HAD ALREADY DONE. I CAME HOME AND WAS EVER SO GRATEFUL THAT THIS SUNDAY THERE WAS TO BE A SPECIAL EVENT AT ESCUELITA AND I HAD BEEN GIVEN THE DAY OFF(WITH PAY). DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY I REMEMBERED IT WAS ALSO THE DAY FOR THE AIDS WALK IN NYC. LAST WEEKEND AT ESCUELITA THE AUDIENCE RAISED FUNDS TO HELP SUPPORT. SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO ALL THE WALKERS YESTERDAY. I HAVE DONE THE WALK IN THE PAST AND ENJOYED IT IMMENSELY. FATE WOULD HAVE IT THAT I JUST SPONSORED SOMEONE INSTEAD OF REGISTERING TO DO IT MYSELF SINCE I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO WITH THIS ANKLE. LATER ON IN THE DAY I GLANCED OUT THE BACKYARD WINDOW AND SAW MY BELOVED CAT PEACHES WHO DISAPPEARED ABOUT 2 1/2 WEEKS AGO.IT WAS SO NICE TO SEE HER ALIVE AND WELL. I RACED DOWNSTAIRS (DISABLED AND ALL) AND SET SOME FOOD UP . HE WAS QUITE RELUCTANT TO COME TOO CLOSE AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD(I THINK).I WANTED TO TAKE HIM IN THE HOUSE BUT WAS WARNED THAT HE MUST GO TO A HOSPITAL FIRST SINCE HE HAD BEEN ON HIS OWN FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I NEED TO GAIN HIS TRUST AND THEN GET HIM INTO THE CARRIER SO THAT IT CAN BE DONE WITHOUT ANY DRAMA OR SCRATCHES INVOLVED.EVEN IF I NEVER CONVINCE HIM TO COME BACK HOME I WILL CONTINUE TO FEED HIM (AND HIS NEW BUDDIES)IN THE BACKYARD. I HOPE ONE DAY TO HAVE HIM BACK HOME SINCE I AM SO ATTACHED BUT AS THEY SAY PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR DIFFERENT REASONS AND SEASONS. I THANK ALL OF YOU WHO WROTE TO ME ABOUT CONCERN FOR MY MISSING CAT. YOUR PRAYERS AND ADVICE SURELY PAID OFF. I WILL SIGN OFF NOW AND PREPARE FOR A VERY HECTIC BUT HIGHLY ANTICIPATED WEEK. UNTIL NEXT TIME , TAKE CARE AND BE WELL.

WOW-WHAT A WEEKEND!
