    Did a rebound fit DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a 10Pound Slimdown DVD

    Tracey – that woman who is 101 has a wonderful attitude. She’ll live many more years with an attitude towards age like she has. Question: what do you do if a resident who shouldn’t be in the café comes in and what if you don’t know that the resident shouldn’t be there? What happens?

    Pip – please let us know how Yogi is doing. They’ve been together a long time.

    The soup kitchen today. Since I’ll be in the area, I’ll probably stop at the Green Room since they’re having school showings and they don’t have anyone to work the box office. Same for after the soup kitchen, but I’m not sure for how long. I’ll stay until the last school show but I would think it would be a bit earlier.

    My neighbor asked me about a large planter for on top of a column. I personally think she’s hoping that’ll get her mother back into ceramics. I found a lady who has one, I’m not sure if it’ll work, I’ve asked the lady to send me a pic. It’s about $20 in bisq and she’ll have to paint it, but the place we take ceramics will fire it for a few dollars for their paint and firing, which isn’t bad.

    Tracey – What a nice story! I hope I am so loved too. I just live too far away for visitors. It’s just me and the mister.

    Pip – That makes me so sad. One big reason I don’t have more pets. I had to do that 3 times and it’s just too hard.

    Plumbing issues at a rental property. I fear we will have to dig up the driveway. I’ll know more later in the day after the plumber shoves the camera in the main line. I’m in the process of hiring a property manager. I am just sick of managing them myself. I can’t even plan a lunch with a friend these days without a rental issue coming up, let alone go on an international vacation.

    As to that lunch, I’m off to meet the train. We are meeting midway. I thought of cancelling to deal with the plumbing issue, but there really isn’t anything I can do and it has been very challenging to find a time my friend and I can meet this year.

    At last my friend rang for a chat. Poor thing! She is on very heavy dose antibiotics. What a saga she has had. She is angry and thinking of sueing the hospital. She has asked to see her notes as a first step. One blunder after another. :'(:#
    I am in the process of arranging to go to see her by train in a couple of weeks. Fortunately she is now at home and going in for a check on Monday.

    I didn't approve of the weather today, so did rowing and biking instead. 380 calories.
    It was my signature Mushroom Risotto for dinner, so I'm glad I got the extra calories in.

    Pip-I know it’s not the same,but when foxy lost a puppy,she mourned terribly.I got her a stuffed baby,she loved it and treated it like hers for a while.Then she just sort of got on with her doggie life.Maybe if Yogi starts showing signs of loneliness and moping,you could think about it.Some told me not to because she could become too attached to an object .But it was so sad watching her go through it,I had to take the chance.Plus she has Vern and us.

    NYKaren – glad to hear your hubby is doing well

    Knitski – welcome! You wouldn’t happen to be Polish?

    Tracey – do the residents have to sign in to get into the café? Is that how you know if someone shouldn’t be there?

    volunteered at the soup kitchen then at the Green Room for a bit. Had to go pick up a piece of glass for the picture I made for Colby for Christmas, then home

    Katia-sorry you are sick. Glad you have a doctor who will actually treat you. Seems like the "stuff" is going around earlier this year.

    Welcome to Knitski2002-that is exciting news about your son gettin first house. I logged food on MFP off and on for several years without checking out the community. I discovered I missed a ton of useful information. This is an active group (hard to keep up with!), but very supportive and positive. Have read some very interesting discussion on any number of different topics.

    Had to take some vacation time today or I would lose it (I really need to get a week off, but with budget time is tough to do). Went to grocery today and came home and cleaned out flower bed and garage. Working full-time it is sometimes hard to fit in some of the extra tasks that need done and I don't want to pay someone to do everything. Pleased with my efforts. Fit in a nice walk this evening.

    Knee and piriformis still bothersome off and on. Looking forward to physical therapy assessment Tuesday. Hopefully they can show me some stuff that will help get this left leg in line.

    Tracey in Edmonton - love the cartoon you posted.

    Have a good rest of today/good start to Saturday,

    Ginny in Ohio

    The staff has a list of residents that can eat there. If they aren’t on the list they are redirected. We are a very close knit home so we know all of the residents by name. For new people like me, all of the residents walkers or wheelchairs are tagged with their name so we can double check as well. For the most part the residents that can’t eat in there are unable to get around with out a healthcare aide and wouldn’t show up anyway. We do have one resident that is quite mobile that can’t eat there that shows up regularly, one of us just takes her up to the main dining room.

    I think that's a great idea actually, thanks for the thought. having gone thru this before, I've known that you have to try to act normal around the surviving pet because they can feel your pain and depression, they sense it. so far he's doing ok. but going to keep a close watch

    Day 1 of our 3-day cycling event is done. We're organising, not riding.

    Yesterday we drove the route of the first event. All good. Then I studied for my exam a bit.

    Today we drove the route of the second event. Mostly good. Then we held the first event. All good! Despite the wind and some rain. Now I've got to study some more.

    I did get a 2 km run in this afternoon ... a bit of exercise.


    I am getting a bit tired of all the driving. I drove over 400 km last weekend and I'll have another 600 or 700 km this weekend.

    Day 2 of our 3-day cycling event is done! A number of heavy rain and hailstorms went through but fortunately most of them missed the riders. But I ended up driving through rain and hail so heavy I could barely see the road.

    Nevertheless, today is done and now I need to study some more.

    Machka - do you have to organize marshalls, medals, refreshments, signage and everything? :o

    Windy night. I didn't sleep too well. Brain active. I had a good book to read and a spare room, so I survived. :D

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx
