In July...
I found the sensitivity to sounds still bothering me to great ends. My hearing was slowly coming back but it was difficult with the Tinnitus and Hyperacusis. The book project at the store going well we had doubled in sales, I was very pleased. But I found I still needed more. Working at the store helped with my symptoms during the day but I still had to come home to it at night. It was hard working through the tension and pain I was feeling, there were days I would walk in the door and say to my girls,' Please try to be quiet tonight I can't take not one more sound.' My girls were amazing helping me through those difficult nights. One would make dinner while the other would take the youngest to the library. I'd stay in my room sometimes two hours straight before coming out times at it's worse I stayed to my room all night. The girls would stop in to see me, talk for a moment, ask if I was hungry, see if I need anything and let me know what they were doing. Thank god they were all of an age of being quite independent in thought and what they did. Could you imagine what it would be like if I had a two year old or a baby when this happened to me!
I decided in order to help me get through the nights I needed more. Something to AGAIN 'take my mind off the pain' I started up a Book Project with the idea to help keep books out of landfills. Books are donated to the project, stamped, entered into a database, which I created and soon implemented into the retail store in months to come. Once in the database, images are loaded to the Facebook page for the project and good are given 'FREE to a good home' The idea was if you did not wish to keep the book afterward it could be returned and a person could get TWO books for just returning one.
