Great news! Zachary's heart is strong and healthy. Karen was right - Sinus Arrhythmia. The doctor said most people have it and it may or may never show up on an EKG. Nothing to worry about at all. So now just waiting for the neurologist about the migraines.
Lanette and anyone wanting to make a little extra money and get out of the house for awhile there is an app called Field Agent - it used to be only on IPhone but I understand that it may finally be on Android. Everyday they have jobs in your area that you can choose to do like go to WalMart and take a picture of a certain display and answer a few questions about it. The jobs range from $3 to $15. The great thing is you can let the money accrue in your acct with Field Agent or have it deposited into your bank acct. I used to find jobs and then incorporate them into my shopping for the day. You can even do it while traveling if you have your phone identify where you are. Lanette a lot of times I see jobs that just sit for days in the Chehalis area without anyone doing them. Sometimes there are jobs where you to go to a restaurant and purchase something for which they reimburse you as well as pay you for the job.
Sent out some feelers today to people at the AG's office to see if anyone knows of another non-perm position that might be coming up or a Division that needs help with a case. I did non-perm jobs for years before finally taking a permanent position. Anyway I did get a lead on a job that may be coming up soon.
RE you are looking grrrrreat! It is an attestment to your perseverance as well as proof that Progress not Perfection is the way to go.
Does anyone remember if the last time we heard from Marnie she said they were moving somewhere else or they were just thinking about it? Maybe that's why we haven't heard from her? I sure miss her posting.
Beth hope your Dad continues to show improvement everyday. It's amazing the improvements in medicine and surgery for the elderly. I remember when a person in their 60s went in for surgery (if they could get approval) and you worried about whether they would make it through the surgery. On the other hand not many people lived into their 80s.
Carol the next time your grandkids come over I would suggest earplugs and blinders . . . lol
Becky I feel for you. I hope you are able to find good respite care. I need the same thing just to have some time of my own. Thanks for sharing your story.
Trying to catch up again so ttfn as RE says - I finally looked that up on the internet to see what it means!

Ohh opossums are so crazy looking! Janetr OKC!! Once when we lived in base housing, we had one in our backyard. We called the housing office, and they told us to corner it with the recycling basket!! I called dog control and they said NEVER do that! I called the housing office back and told them, I probably would have gotten attacked!

Ginger I love your Accountability list. The days that you have lots of checks it makes me happy and the days that there are just a few I feel your pain!
Becca, Becca, Becca - how do I love thee - let me count the ways. Can I be your sister? I promise I'll never diss you
Barbie you always seem so content and happy with your life. I learn a lot from you.
Katla I have a positive affirmation on my computer screen at work that reminds me of you "Do what makes you happy!"
Janetr when are you and DH packing up that RV again and taking off?
One more page to go so I'm off to read again.

Happy Friday ladies. Reading your posts this a.m. Lifts my heart and sends me off in a positive mood
I will keep you all in mind as I face a social luncheon, afternoon of meetings, all on a poor night's sleep.

Gloria asked "Janetr when are you and DH packing up that RV again and taking off?"
We've been hanging around here in case the VA required any further tests or information regarding Jack's claim resulting from exposure to Agent Orange in Southeast Asia during the Viet Nam era, we should have a decision by the end of April. Hopefully we will be heading out again late summer, early Fall. I'm ready
NY KAREN a poor night's sleep is never good. Positive vibes coming your way. (((Hugs)))

Lunch with my brother and sister in law today. They should be arriving soon. I've booked the pub for 12.30. Will choose two starters and no carbs. I've got salmon out of the freezer for dinner tonight with vegetables. I've done my 600 cal exercises, so should squeeze by. I'm wearing the same outfit I wore for lunch with my friend. Grey jersey dress and red accessories. I like it and it's comfortable with leggings.
My sister in law has been having mental health problems for a few years now, depression, anxiety, migraines etc. She is very loving, but let's things get to her and has low energy. She used to be very obese, but has managed to lose a lot on the 5:2 diet. Looking much better. My brother is type 2 diabetic and on insulin because he can't follow a diet. Big stomach. Eye problems, not fit. Grrrrrrrrrr! Lovely man though and heart of gold. I am very fond of them both. I am completely different from them in almost every way, but we enjoy each other's company.
Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxx3 -

I subbed in a fun Kindergarten class the past few days. If anyone is looking for fun children stories to read to grandchildren any story by Mo Williams are great. The teacher was doing an author study on him. Many of his stories are about friendship and are done with love and humor.
The lightness of his stories helped with going to see the movie Jackie last night with a friend. I thought it would be more about her life instead it was mostly about the assassination of John F. It was like watching a very depressing funeral for two hours. I was eight when it happened and learned it on the radio because I was home sick from school.
The teacher also uses the book that talks about filling each other buckets. If you do things to make others feel better you are a bucket filler. If you say and do hurtful things you are a bucket dipper. It was a great touchstone for dealing with class issues.

Gloria - thanks for the tip on Field Agent! I'll see if my tablet can grab the app as I don't have a smartphone. I did find a website. Getting paid to shop, what a dream come true, lol.
And good luck with the job hunt - you are in the perfect place to find something in your field!
Glad Zac's ticker is OK; hope they can get the migraines under control soon.

Morning, all,
On my tablet, on slow Wi-Fi, so will keep this short. Corey's upstairs asleep, drove over to New Mexico, a couple hours northwest of Odessa, after his PT appointment, taking advantage of my time off while I am still working part time. I'm in the hotel lobby drinking gas station coffee, my personal favorite.
Nice break.
Love y'all,
More when I have a keyboard,

Good morning peeps!
Have a busy day planned if I don't get rained out, otherwise this might be me -
Stay cool, stay dry as you want to be, stay happy!

Re I've been thinking about your job interview and it reminded me of the thinking I did when I decided to retire at age 58, Someone used the term "quality of life" and it struck me that money was not the only consideration. Had I continued to work until I was 65, I would have earned more money each working year and would have increased my retirement income by several hundred dollars a month, but as I reflect on what I've done with my retirement years, they were worth more than money.
Gloria, good news about Zac's heart, now on to the headaches.
Becca, two thoughts about your sister---it is her loss to not have you as a friend the way we have you.....and....I'm so glad I don't live in her head, it must be a very unhappy and confusing place.
This is the busy day when I teach two line dance classes, but this week Jake is home to walk the dogs and fix lunch so I won't be so frantic between classes.

Good morning ladies! Up and at 'em! Ready for our Kitchen Beach Party! I like to have this party in the winter/colder weather when it is too cold to play in the sand or go to the beach. Today is a rainy day (even though they are predicting a high of 60!), so perfect for this party day. Here is my kitchen "beach".
When the kids are done playing today, I will leave the sandbox up and my DYS will pull up a chair and join me for a toes-in-the-sand dinner of chinese take out! DOS may stop over later with a girl he is dating, so they can sit and have a drink and laugh at the beach in the kitchen. DH is headed into GR to A) get our jeep in for a check up before our trip to TX and visit with his folks, just returned from Florida.
Margaret- My kiddos love those Mo Williams books! Simple text and pictures!
Pip- Love the puppy pics! Have a great time this weekend at the beach!
Becca- Ugh! Family issues are so trying! I have to agree with everyone's advice. You have given all you can, left the door open, left the ball in her court; now you need to let it go and do your own thing. I have a relationship like that in my family and it is just a B****! I love the fruit bowl pic and the strawberries! I am not a big fruit eater (a green apple for munching or maybe a banana mixed into a smoothie). I DO enjoy all veggies, though!
Opossoms-I only ever see them dead, by the side of the road. Our town has an "informed" facebook page, which people use to let others know about road issues, traffic issues, lost pets, great restaurants or RAK's. The other day a woman posted a pic of an opossom in her tree and she asked "Did anyone lose a cat? She's in my tree and not very friendly. Please come get her if she's yours!"
Ginger- You have a wonderful outlook on life and give such great advice! Hope you are having a great day!
Marni- I miss her, too! I think she mentioned a possibility of being somewhere where there is no internet or possibly losing her internet for a while. Marni, if you are here (or there) we miss you!
Well, breakfast is done and the kids are ready to play! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)8 -
The sandbox is about 12x6. 250 lbs of sand.2
