Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .

Happy Valentine's Day to all my dear friends.

I'm staying busy and to be honest, counting the days until DD moves into her apartment the end of March. She will still be very close so we will be Doggy Daycare for her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Beans. I know our lab, Maggie will be happy about that as they have become buddies. But as busy as I am and as much as I miss spending the time to read every post, I am not stressing. I just accepted that I would keep up my logging but spend much less time with all of you for the time being. You are like sisters to me and like family, I still feel so very close to you even though I'm not seeing you as often.

My dear, dear friend from Charlotte finally decided to move here and then found out she may have some type of cancer of the blood. They did a bone marrow test yesterday to know for sure and it will be two weeks before she gets the results. I am praying that she gets a good report.

DH got me beautiful flowers for VD, which he doesn’t do often. He knows I love them but he is too frugal to spend on something that only lasts a few days. I don’t mind since he does so many nice things for me.

Today is Donor Day!

"Donor Day is a holiday that celebrates all those people who have helped save people’s lives by donating blood, marrow, tissue, and even organs. It’s a holiday that drives home exactly how amazing and giving the human spirit is because it pays tribute to so many people who have donated of themselves, often to help save the life of someone they’ve never met." Reminds me, I'm overdue to make a donation.

Allie - What a mess! My parents-in-law have a reverse mortgage, and it worries me a little when I think about what that could mean down the road. I don't begrudge them the funds at all, but I just hope it doesn't end up becoming a financial burden for us when the time comes. You have so much on your plate right now... take as many naps as you need! Everything can wait for an hour or so while you recharge.

Penny - I'd love to see your island paradise. It sounds like the perfect retreat!

Mary - Sorry about John's injury. That sounds nasty! We've got a pickleball league here and I've thought about going to watch. Don't know if my knee would be up to playing, but I'd like to see what it's all about.

Becca - I made skinny spinach lasagna a couple of nights ago, and we're still eating it. Yummy is right! I've never met a lasagna I didn't like.

Joyce - Thank goodness your nephew was persistent and went back to the ER!

DJ - It's so good to hear from you! Thank you for checking in!

Janet & Mary - I've been intrigued by the idea of kettlebells, and you've inspired me. I think I'll find out of there's a place here in town that can get started on how to do them right. The down side of living in a small town is that we don't have the resources I had in Austin. No lap pool, no belly dance or tai chi classes, etc. I mostly stick with things I can do at home these days.

Kelly - Oh, poor Joaquin! Ear infectious are so miserable, and the flu on top of that! Hope the meds make him more comfortable soon.

Loving all the pet photos!


Onederland, I have reached your shores! Never dreamed I'd be so elated about a scale reading of 198. And I finally caught some figure skating last night, so yesterday was a good day.

Philip and I had a good time sitting on the sofa last night and looking at tiny RVs on Craigslist. We've got an ancient shell of a fiberglass travel trailer that we want to renovate, but we're thinking about buying one that's useable in the meantime. It would save us a lot of money in pet care fees when we go visiting. We found a lot of suitable ones for less than we'd expected to spend.

Now it's grey and drippy but birds are flitting around outside my window. Time to get some breakfast and get to work.

Be good to yourselves today!
