Oh my, that's an instant 5,000 more people out and about in Hobart!💖👍🏻⚓. A nice tourist boom. Hopefully they'll be hospitable, with no troubles. They usually do some humanitarian thing at each port if they can.

7. Memory. When I took my youngest to "meet" my mom at the mortuary in March of 1999. He started crying in his carrier, he was 4 months old. It was a cry I had never heard before, he had no tears, so I said aloud, "well Mom this is my son Owain, you and him just talk". His cry echoed throughout the mortuary and my Mom never looked so beautiful. Woah, and I cry just thinking upon it...💖
8. Book. Sadly I haven't read a book in a while, I need to.
9. Place. Out of all our many homes, I liked the house in Vacaville CA. It was the house kids visited, and felt safe at. One of my middle sons friends was dealing with parental issues, step father woes, so he came many times a week, because it was calm. I spoiled him. The house had a lot of issues, but even the gecko lizards enjoyed it, so no ants!
10. Taste. My favorite tastes are Thanksgiving related. A piece of turkey, stabbed with some dressing and a bit of jellies cranberry, then my fork running thru a bit of gravy. I know its tryptophan coma heaven, but its that savory/sweet combo!

Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD,
I am not sure our management office would be keen to that. Our heater seems to be cycling on and off ok, which we're grateful. The toilet issue, while isn't an emergency, its annoying. Being that we're paying month to month, if we become more trouble then we're worth, who's to stop them from really not fixing anything? We've been great at dodging the bullet and the rent staying the same for a couple of years now. The fact that things need to be done, off sets their need to raise it maybe. So we call when its really needed, and gently remind them of past projects that need done.

Karen--These meetings are run by corapate and I have no say. Most the people at these meetings can close their office doors and attend. Because I am a working supervisor I have to have someone come in and cover while I am gone. During Covid they did the meetings zoom and I loved it as I could turn it on and still work. But now we are back to in person. Each director or department gets 15-20 minutes. I am one of the ones that does not get any time. It is mostly legal stuff, HR updates and our president updates. New doctors that have joined our clinics, etc. Most time I get something out of it, but this month was nothing I can work with. I thought with the down time and joint commission being here they would have an report. But said it will be next month. They seem to think these meetings are bonding time. Next Wednesday they are having an all day retreat with a social hour at the end we can invite our spouse to. I have chose not to go and I am sure I will get a email about it. But I am not going to pay someone overtime so I can go play bonding games with people I don't really like. I agree they are a waste of time and the week after the meeting we get a report about what was said. But then no one listens to me. Most management meetings have between 60 and 75 people and we have to sign in. We are requiered to attend so many a year.
On top of that yesterday I had to meet with my boss, then with my problem employee and then we have to do what they call rounding once a month with each person in our department. So I did one yesterday and will do one today. Also this morning I had a meeting with my boss and the director of our Skilled care unit about some transportation problems. Then only have 7 left this month. I do not like doing these either, but we have paperwork to fill out each month. Someone in an office somewhere makes all
this stuff for us to do. I am meeting out.
I am off tomorrow and I am working Saturday so one person can have early Thanksgiving with her family. I am coming in to give blood in the morning and then baking cupcakes for a fund raiser our grand daughter is helping with for her grandpa on the other side that has cancer.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE yesterday 70, today barely 35 4 -

Beautiful Photos!
November Gratitudes
Book: The Bible
Place: My home ... which is wherever my husband and son are
Taste: I'm a salty/sweet person too! I just had a small bowl filled with salted peanuts and chocolate chips ... don't judge me ... I was desperate.
I am just beat tonight. My husband, son and I moved most of my Mom's furniture/boxes from storage to her new assisted living apartment today. Several of her things will not fit in her new place, but that's just the way it is. I'll have to deal with them soon though as I want to terminate the storage unit lease. Tomorrow I will be at her apartment signing paperwork, waiting for a recliner delivery and unloading boxes. Saturday I'll be there again waiting for a bed delivery. She is so ready to leave the long-term care facility ... Tuesday is when we move her in ...and find her "own" place again. Keeping my fingers crossed that she will be happy there and that it will be her last move. Also praying that she remembers what caused her last fall and not try to do more than she can!

Happy to have written for an hour - so easy to distract myself into oblivion, and look up and it's 4:30 and Corey's on his way home. That was yesterday, to the largest extent. This morning was the same thing until I pushed myself into my living room recliner, with instructions not to move for an hour. Worked this time.
Catching up my gratitudes:
9. Place: I am most grateful for this place. It was the culmination of searching for years on end, online and off. Getting here was an adventure in itself, and I am most grateful to have found this place, the first real home I've loved since my mother died more than 20 years ago.
10. Taste: I am most grateful for the taste of water. I spent more than ten years unable to comfortably drink plain water, and whatever else these last couple years have brought, they gave me back the ability to drink water without pain, and I am very grateful.
Retirement is the blessed ability to talk just to those I choose, and only for as long as I'm willing. I am becoming more and more of a hermit, but there is just so little that I need out there. I was never a social animal anyway - like you, Vicki, my work demands made me participate in meetings with people that I would have happily skipped, but had little choice. I always pushed for fewer, shorter meetings, too, but was seldom heard.
Now, as I begin to feel somewhat physically better, I have moved to that place where I can truly enjoy that retirement. With winter coming in, there's little to care for outside, so I can indulge in the life of the mind instead. I'm working on it.
Love y'all,
Lisa, feeling serene in AR

Welcome to the newbies. You will love these ladies. It moves very fast and I tend to get behind.
Heather and Rori - your pictures make me smile. I can almost feel the warmth. So glad you are enjoying your vacations.
KIm- Covid is enough by itself without all the other issues. Bless your heart!
Barbara/I don’t even like to drive at night let alone in a storm. Glad you are ok.
I did something to my thumb and wrist and it really hurts. Dh wrapped it for me so it can rest. Hope that helps.
Later

The memory list set off me missing my youngest sailor. Just cried and cried for a good hour, but settled down. Processing the absence of him is always ongoing. Knowing he is somewhere overseas living his life is ok, but brings no consolation. I actually get mad at the thought. This isn't how I wanted to feel about my youngest. I shouldn't feel that I mourn him, if he hasn't actually passed away. Does he know how much I go thru? I have told him many times in past letters, (in a positive way though, I do not harp on him). This is my 5 minutes of whining.
Making Lasagna for Lee. Its like arts and crafts but with pasta, cheese and sauce.😁. I ate my feelings in 4 tacos. Yes 4. Mostly lettuce, and tomatoes though!

We're dealing with the sudden death of my 42 year old nephew. He was found outside of his house. They think that it was a heart attack. The sad thing is that he was into the Dr 3 times and they missed it 🥺. He leaves behind his fiance and 2 year old daughter and two older sons 11 and 19. 💕🙏💕

Mary that is so sad! That poor family!
I'm kicking myself for going over calories. I usually do well on Thursday but not this week. Oh well. I did do my horseback riding, and Henry was very good. And I have dumbbells to do after Jeopardy.
I helped my dad with the online banking today. He is starting to forget stuff. For a few minutes he couldn't remember the name of the bank. There will come a time when I have to take over his finances, but not just yet. I just hope it's a friendly transition.

Mary, I'm so terribly sorry - it makes it so much worse when they're so young! My condolences to you and your family...
Heather and Rori - your travels lighten my heart with every smile and every beautiful image...
Beth - I look for your posts, and hope your mom settles in easily and well...
To those who are new, we're so glad you're here, just keep coming back and you'll find your rhythm with us. Just know you're welcome.
Next week, Corey will run me up to get my iron infusion on Wednesday, looking forward to the drive there and back. The infusion is no big deal, it's like watching them run root beer in your veins, and only takes about 15 minutes. Then I have to chill out with them for another 20-30 minutes to make sure I don't have a reaction.
I don't know why the politics grabbed my attention so much this year that I couldn't seem to pull myself out of it. I read literally hundreds of articles a day, far far too much than was necessary or useful. Now that the election is over, I feel like I can finally dismiss my obsession and start writing instead of reading... I hope so, anyway.
Time to take my night-time pills and start getting ready for bed.
Love y'all,

My evening walk was in the dark for the first time this season. I saw two houses with a few holiday lights8 -
Barbara – Vince won’t eat ANY spice (or at least he SAYS he won’t). He finally admitted one time to a friend of mine that the reason he’s so pickey is because of the way his mother cooked. Her idea of spices was salt, pepper, and ketchup. One time we (his mother and I) went out and she had this chili with this orange stuff on top (cheddar cheese). She didn’t like any cheese (or so she said). She asked me what that orange stuff was and I just said “I honestly don’t know”. “It’s good” Many is the time he has eaten spices because I’ve hidden them and not had the taste of them be very strong and he never knew it. And I “accidentally on purpose” forgot to tell him. So even if he could put his own toppings on, if he knew what they were he most likely wouldn’t eat them. That’s why I got this chicken/cheese/vegetable thing for us along with chicken nuggets. I know he’ll eat the nuggets. Cheese? Forget it unless it’s on pizza. Vegetables other than corn and carrots? Forget it.
Next week I go to the dermatologist to have a skin tag removed. Really, it’s nothing other than a pain in the lower back side. I’m always afraid I’ll rub it against something and it’ll start bleeding. So for my peace of mind, I’m just going to have it removed.
Rita – that is contrails. Space shuttles make them all the time when they go up.
Called Jess to remind her to bring an ornament I bought at the NC State Fair, put in her pocketbook and forgot to get it from her. Decorated the one tree and, try as I might, I could not find the ornament she said she gave me from Iowa State. Honestly, I don’t remember her giving me an ornament but I didn’t tell her that. I did find a nice one on Amazon that’s a wooden sled. Anyway, I asked her what time they expect to be here and she said that now Teresa is thinking twice because of the “storm”. Vince told her that only 2-4” are expected here and 15mph winds. Who knows what’ll happen? I do have a fair amount of food bought, tho. Nicole wasn’t nearly as bad at the condo as they had feared, which is good
Beth – even have feet crossed for you and your mom that she is happy at the place.
Sue TX – hope you heal fast
Mary – so very sorry about your nephew. What a blow to the entire family! Prayers
Work and then the soup kitchen tomorrow
Want to take a shower and then get to bed.
