I woke about 3am and was gently moving and easing my shoulder around in the bed, when suddenly the pain was gone, and I could move; the shoulder popped back into place. Praise the Lord. I was so relieved not to need a doctor or chiropractor. I went back to sleep until about 8 o'clock then rang Phyllis with the good news.
I will add carrying heavy loads to my list of cautions, like walking very carefully to avoid a broken hip, my worst nightmare.
About noon I went out to the Art Gallery on the St Gregory's campus. My friend Nancy, who helped me with the power point a while back at Kiwanis, was giving a presentation herself on the Spectrum Temperament Model, which is founded on the premise that behaviour can be classified into four distinct temperaments, and everyone is born with one "natural" temperament which provides us with gifts, talents, skills and preferences which directly affect our attitudes, behaviours and perceptions. We do however have the capacity to learn and develop the remaining three temperaments, enhancing our quality of life.
It was very interesting indeed and Nancy presented it well. She worked as an FAA flight instructor, and in the last few years she has been a professional facilitator, and a certified trainer for Spectrum Temperament Development.
Lunch was provided but we were asked to bring a salad dish. I knocked one up from basic store cupboard ingredients of sweet corn, onion, egg and mayonnaise, which I learned years and years ago when my lads were in Prep school, and have been making it ever since.
Later in the afternoon I went to the movies with Pattisue and we saw "Captain Phillips", which was very, very exciting, action packed from beginning to end. It was about the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates.
There are three cinema complexes in Shawnee, one shows 8 films, another 6, and one downtown which has two films showing; but in spite of 16 films showing at any one time, I can sometimes go a while not fancying any of them, but at the moment there are three in one cinema. One which I would also like to see is 'The Fifth Estate' which has been a major box office flop. You have probably heard of Julian Assange, the Australian computer hacker, currently holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London. I don't normally go and see box office flops but was intrigued when someone on Fox News said very loudly and forcefully that no patriotic American should see it. Since I am not a patriotic American I reckon that lets me off the hook.
