Sharon Strom invited us to Payton’s Birthday Party next Sunday at 11-1230 at RP gymnastics. So I want to let her know today. 

Next Sunday everyone will be in McCloud anyway, so they might not mind missing church. 

I think there is no Sunday school next week. But I’ll double check. 

Maybe PVBC. 

To Whom it May Concern,

I am writing because I am on your mailing list and receive email promotional sales specifically directed to your store at the Village at Corte Madera. That store is the closest in location to myself and my relatives who planned a day trip to visit Pottery Barn today. Two traveled from Ukiah, and 2 of us from Santa Rosa. Their day started at 8am and we arrived together at the store after 10am. We all had looked at our recent Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, and Pottery Barn Kids promotional emails and we’re excited about sales for the day. It is a rare time to be able to make the trip to Corte Madera while my older children are at school and no one is working.  So, it was very disappointing to get to Corte Madera to find all three stores closed for inventory. I have gifts that were purchased for me for Christmas that were the wrong sized dishes (as my Great White dinnerware set has changed the plate dimensions since I originally purchased them) and this was my first opportunity to get to the store to make the exchange or return. While an employee who was outside the store when we arrived was very kind, I found myself exceptionally surprised that, with emails sent at least once daily, no email was sent addressing the store closure for the day. Had there been an email sent, we would have known and had been able to switch the day we were coming as we had two days to choose from. Now, however, the second day is not available any longer for us.  Again, I don’t know what to do other than offer the feedback that I trust you welcome as, in the past, you have a strong relationship with your customers.  I would highly recommend communicating with those on your email list when there are store closures of this nature.  I know we were not the only customers taken off guard and disappointed. 

Thank you,

Tawnya Smith

Reasons why so tired and difficulty breathing.

How do I know if my body is working extra hard?  Even if lung capacity appears good. 

Want to care for myself more like exercise, but so stressed by my lungs feeling different – how they hurt when walking in the cold or how it feels like I can’t breathe and then it scares me and gets worse. I need to practically find ways to handle this. And what kinds of exercise are most important?  And WHY do I feel that way physically?

How to handle anxiety about foods and meds that may help me. Like iron too. 

Stressing as I look ahead to needing surgery on my mouth.  Not sure what to do. 

I wanted to check in since it has been almost 2 years since the car accident I was in. The car accident led to me needing physical therapy for my neck. Because of my neck having issues with the muscles it led to me beginning to have other symptoms of panic that I didn’t understand because I was scared of what was going on with my swallowing. I ended up hardly eating for a week. That ended up leading to me having a panic attack in the car on the way home from work about a week or two later (right after my first PT appointment). (I had to stop working for a couple months.) As a result of that, which I believe completely was caused by the accident I’ve had to have tons of medical work done. Dr visit physical therapy blood test and different things to figure out what I’m dealing with exactly what it appears to have ben is anxiety. By the impact to my neck. as a result of all of that I have continued issues with my neck all the time my back is feeling to have problems I think because the way I must handle my body because of my neck and the cost and anxiety management trying I feel like there is supposed to be closure after 2 years but I don’t feel in anyway ready to close this. Or maybe just to decide on what is realistic form I need to proceed. In my opinion I need to be checked in by Mike naturopath as well as regular physician twice a year as well as having physical therapy as an option twice a week I mean twice a month and I need to be paying buy a chiropractor to see what is going on now with me as a result of all of it. In addition I know I have had to have blood work tonight I feel the need to continue getting blood work done to assess weather what I am experiencing are real concerns or if they’re anxiety caused by the accident and the panic experiences I feel I need a new referral to a chiropractor as well as a renewed referral to the physical therapist and a note of what I have been experiencing and an updated statement as to how things are going.

 I have scheduled an appointment Thursday today the 26th with the nurse practitioner. Tomorrow Friday the 27th I have an appointment with my naturopath as well. I have scheduled an appointment with my physical therapist pending be renewed referral on Friday March 3rd. I am awaiting getting to schedule a chiropractic appointment Canyon the referral from today’s visit.

Picture schedule should be planned before games begin and announced at least 2 weeks in advance. Coaches need to know where to have kids meet and communicate that. Coach should contact families no less than 2 weeks before practices start then again the day before. Need to confirm type of phone – cell or home. Coaches need to know what is expected. Coach should contact families before each practice at first and always the day before each game.
