We are very proud of ourselves for getting to the French Circle, despite the howling wind and the sideways torrential rain.
We did splash out on an Uber, but got the bus back as it was just spitting by then.
Because the speaker was French, we didn't understand everything she was saying, but got enough to make sense of it. Lots of slides. The history of Haute Couture, from the beginning, with emphasis on Chanel and YSL. The woman we had chatted to before was there and we rode back on the bus together, swapping details of our lives. So, a warm glow of accomplishment. The audience was predictably thin!
We didn't eat out beforehand this time because we are planning to take the kids out for pizza on Saturday. It gets very expensive! I made a gorgeous pizza at home, which we shared. It's a frozen wholemeal dough.
We are planning another painting afternoon tomorrow. DH has some great sketches. I have no idea what to paint, but I might have another go at a sub Karen's brother.
Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx4 -
Rebecca--HUGS! Sometimes we just have to feel.
Tracey--Good Luck with the job hunt. I keep telling myself at my age (66) it would be hard to find something that pays what I make now and who would hire me when I could retire anytime. Just I want to be out of debt for the most part and want to say I have been at the hospital 40 years.
Going to be another warm day. I did stop at the gym on my way out after work. Plan is to do that today. Baby steps.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE
Vicki ... how much longer to reach 40 years and get out of debt?

The hiring process has been a mess, and if that's an indication of the company . . . Still, I am hopeful he takes it. It is 100% remote and starts Monday. Having him unemployed has been stressful.
Hugs to you, Rebecca. My feelings are often hurt by people, as well.

Fortunately the hiring process is not necessarily an indication of the whole company, especially if it is a big company. Each department could be quite different from the others.

Westparktallaght: Welcome
Flea: Congrats to your husband on getting the job offer!
Annie: I have been buying clothes on line from North Style. Unfortunately, they don't always have free shipping. But I
do know their clothes usually fit me. I got my mother of the Groom outfit from Amazon last year!
Lisa: Hope the visit to the MD goes well
Rebecca: I know it hurts, but I also see it from your son's side. I am going up to MA again in June for a graduation. I don't like driving in MA any more and only plan to see a few people. There are friends that would want to see me that I am not going to be able to see.
Debbie: Praying for Destiny. I had no idea Rosemary grew so well!
Lanette: Loved Just Dancing With My Eyes Closed!! I am going to have to stay busy. That is the key!!
Machka: I would imagine a neuropsychologist would be one of the best people for you to share your experience with your husband with. I am only part of a grief group where the diagnosis is ALS. Maybe eventually I will broaden out to a grief group where there are multiple diagnoses. My heart can hold wonder and grief within a minute of each other.
Heather: I looked up the Good Mourning podcast and am going to listen once I finish this post! Thank you for your kind words.
Katla: We rented a house in the North GA mountains that had a very active hummingbird feeder. My husband couldn't walk well at this time and we really enjoyed just watching the birds. They were delightful!!
I worked at the animal rescue this morning, but was very tired this afternoon. However it was a beautiful day. One of the best of the year so far. I hope we have more like it!
Best,
Rosemarie from Georgia5 -
Barbara— I bought a hummingbird feeder at a local business & I bought 2. I filled one feeder & it hasn’t attracted any birds. So far, have had no results at all. No hummingbird has visited the feeder yet. I’ll give it a day or two, or more. I probably tried to early in the season. Warmer weather will help, and they may eventually start visiting my feeder. I’ll mark my calendar the first time I see one.
I’ll be doing the happy dance when I see a hummingbird at my feeder. 🤞🏻

One of the best books I've read recently (read it, then listened to it because it was so great) was "Four Thousand Weeks--Time Management for Mortals" by Oliver Burkeman. One interesting point he made was about how modern conveniences no longer hold the wonder they did when they first arrived. Instead of being delighted that we can drive automobiles on paved roads to get where we want to go, we get irritated if someone ahead of us drives too slowly or doesn't pull out immediately when the light turns green. Instead of being delighted at all the things we can do via the internet that used to require waiting for the mail to carry a message and deliver a response, we fuss at the internet when it's not fast enough. When I was a child and a teenager, my maternal grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc. all lived in and around NYC. We traveled to visit them frequently and never had time to see the sights. My mother said she'd like to go to NYC sometime as a tourist and not tell her parents that she was coming so she could see the sights and not spend her whole time with them. I didn't visit the Statue of Liberty until I was past 40 and all the relatives had died. We haven't been anywhere in years and don't foresee going anywhere, but I decided that we should renew our passports anyway, just in case something comes up. Maybe this is because we've been watching Jason Bourne movies on Netflix and travel videos on YouTube. Nice weather today (sunshine and 60 degrees) so we both got outside and got some yard work done.

Darn it, my youngest sailor sons really important letter was returned to me! It said undeliverable. So because its changing home port? This has never happened before. I have left messages on emails of Chaplain, and Ombudsman. Hopefully I will figure out what's up.

Rosemarie,
Your son’s response to your grief was so disappointing. I’m so sorry. There are lots of good listeners here.
