WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JANUARY 2018

Heather - I sometimes go through my old photos. Larry does not share my enthusiasm for the most part. I have a photo from my Mom and Dad that I don't even know who it is. I keep it because it makes me smile when I remember my Aunt's response when asked about it.
Your poor DH. It must feel like he has been rejected 2x. First she gives him away and then she doesn't want to meet him. I am glad that he has a good adoptive family.

Evie in Buffalo Grove - We can do this together. The ladies are such a wonderful support system.

Pip - What a Streak! I am always amazed by you and by Lillian. She is into curling season now.

Cathy - Looks like you are doing great with weight loss. Congratulations.

Yesterday I go to spend some time with Jheri. It was some much needed Mom/daughter time. We shopped, we laughed, we talked, we coffeed. I did run out of energy (it frustrates me so bad when this body gives out). I was glad for the invitation to supper at her house. Larry took Greysyn off to the new Star Wars movie. I coloured and cuddled with Keira. She requested one of "Her" stories for bed. As I tell the story she corrects it to exactly how she wants it. Apparently "We are going to be friends until you die" Ryan (DSIL) told her that she shouldn't say that. She says "Why not? It's true. Grandma will die some time but it shouldn't be for a very long time because she has to see me graduate and get married and be famous" Oh, how I love that girl.

I was busy today. Baking, cooking, recycling, going to a movie, doing my Spanish duolingo. I planned on going to church today but found myself still in pjs at 1. I decided to read my Bible instead. I phoned a long time friend for her birthday today. She was very excited to talk and talk we did for almost 2 hrs. Note to self - more calls and visits. I didn't know what to say when she told me that they had bought a 5th wheel and were looking forward to camping. Maybe with us. I haven't shared with her what is happening and today wasn't the day. Will camping be in my future this summer? I guess we will have to see.

Good night world.

Today (Monday) was a bit of a whirlwind!

I was up really early (for me) to get the bus into town and then to walk to the university ... and arrived really early for my lecture. I'll go in a little bit later tomorrow. I did have time to pick up a huge black coffee ... and I needed every drop for that lecture. 3 hours!!

Then I had some errands to run & lunch to eat ... and a quiz to study for. The course is set up so that we have a lecture in the mornings and after our break we immediately have a quiz. And then we go into our tutorials and have to submit our work on the tutorials for marks at the end of the tutorial.

It's intense!

When got home, I made dinner, did laundry, and downloaded the data analysis software we're using for this course on my two computers and have got it going on both. One I will take with me to the university tomorrow so I can work on this stuff during my break.

I have some cycling club stuff I really wanted to get to this evening, but it just didn't happen!

I didn't sleep well last night ... probably a bit nervous about all this, plus it was warm and humid which is a bit uncomfortable. Fortunately tonight is cooler and I'm tired, so I'm hoping I'll sleep better. And I must start heading that direction now!


Oh ... I had more than enough food with me: banana, apple, several different granola bars, tuna and crackers, cheese and crackers ... I didn't eat it all.

As for sheets, I'm with Cathy, I wash them and put them back on. I have an extra set that are folded and in my linen closet, but I just wash them and put them back on until they are ready for the rag bin and then get the "new" ones out of the linen cabinet. I do the same thing with my towels, I wash them and hang them back in the bathroom. I have extras in the linen cabinet, but don't use them either.

I usually can't wash mine and put them back on ... they'd be wet!!

We don't have a dryer, dryers aren't really a thing here in Australia. So we line dry everything. If I get a really good sheet drying day, I can have them in by the end of the day, but sometimes they stay out overnight ... other times they have to come in and get draped over an indoor drying rack.


Edit - and see my post above yours for how my day went. Thanks for asking!!
