Pip I think I missed the link to donations. Put it up or send me a message. Let's get a jersey!
*Rori* hugs.
Allie- it was rude to abruptly change the time when you are doing them a favor and of course your brother is rude too.

So... It's been a week. My big accomplishment is I didn't rage quit this week. This is for sure going to be my last job and I've never rage quit before. So I almost seem to be looking for my opportunity. Did I mention students start Tuesday and that's the day 1/2 of my material will supposedly work because it doesn't before students populate. And apparently 3 AP preps isn't enough I've been assigned additional senior duties.
I've been stress eating, gaining weight and worse I feel bad. I have to figure out a way to get this under control.
I just caught up on 9 pages or so of reading. I need to come here more.
I had lots to say to many of the readers but too tired to type everything.
COVID notes1. You can get Delta even if vaccinated which means you can spread it.
2. Delta sheds approximately 1000 times the virus load as the original virus
3. it has an Rnaught of 6 making it as contagious or more than chicken pox.
4. 99% of deaths in my area are the unvaccinated. So the vaccine doesn't stop you from being infected or spreading but still very effective at stopping death.5 -
Rori so sorry for your loss1

Hugs Rori!

I messaged you the donation link, thx!1 -
My brother passed yesterday in his sleep. I was sitting beside him at the hospice center, and noticed his breathing had stopped and there was a slight smile on his face. He looked so handsome. No signs of pain on his forehead or between the eyes. The hospice team of nurses, social workers, chaplain and volunteers were unbelievably supportive to both of us. Today I returned to thank them with a bag of Trader Joe goodies and a financial donation.
Heather: Thank you for giving to your local hospice in memory of Roz. Truly deserving organization. The retired fundraiser in me is flirting with the idea of getting active as a volunteer with the Denver Hospice. I am passionate about it.
I have set up Greg's online tribute page and sent it out to via email and text. Now I'm just sitting on my bed listening to a storm pass through and reveling in sentimental memories. 😢

I'm down another 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs) ... that's 2.1 kg (4.6 lbs) down in the past 3 weeks or so AND 4.1 kg (9 lbs) down from my peak in about February.
I haven't made huge changes, but something seems to be working.

4: Ask someone how they feel and really listen to their reply: oops, try again.

6: Smile and be friendly to the people you see today: done Thursday at the beach, today at the park.
7: Give time to help a project or cause you care about: send out minutes and meeting reminder.
Very social stroll in the park with G and R. It felt like every few steps I ran into an acquaintance and had to stop and chat. It was only three gals, (two first met at T’ai Chi, one at line dancing) but it felt good. The park strolls will be a good substitute for indoor line dancing.
Machka “CT scan”? Thanks for mentioning about your lymph glands and the Pfizer vac, that explains my reaction. Olympic events? Sleeping, reading, and alphabetizing :laugh:
Lisa the bookshelf quilt idea and look forward to all the personalized touches you’ll put into it.
Julie I think whenever your body is subjected to anesthesia and surgery, no matter how minor, it is a trauma that takes time and rest to recover from. Sorry for the poor grammar but too tire to restructure that sentence
Vicki ((hugs))
Pip you and Kirby are one cute couple!
Rori (((hugs))) (((hugs)))
Kiz Brava for not rage quitting. Bet your students will find the tech glitches funny
Tomorrow meeting D at art in the park before dog group. Bringing Shadow with, hope she is calm in the crowd.

(((Allie))) -- Sending good thoughts. I hope you enjoy time with your granddaughter and your daughter.
(((Rori))) — I am sorry your dear brother has passed. I am happy for him that you were there. Kind for him, and difficult for you. Sending love your way. (((heart)))
I have been knitting a baby blanket for our unborn grandbaby. I’m making progress, but it is slow. I have knitted baby blankets for our daughters three, and for our son’s number 1 & now his #2. I am delighted to make a blanket for this little boy. We plan to travel to be there and take care of grandson #1 while his parents having his new brother later this year.

Today is my husband's birthday! Both Rhody and I got him cards.
The weather isn't great today (winter) so we'll likely stay in but tomorrow we're planning a ride. In cycling circles, it's common to cycle your age on your birthday in km or miles. We won't be doing quite that but we will aim for a longer ride.
A whole flock of "rainbirds" (Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo) came to see us this morning ... flying back and forth over the house and nibbling at stuff in the trees across the way. They are big birds (55–65 cm in length (22-25 inches) and seem to make their presences known when it is raining or about to rain. Maybe they sense a pressure change.

Allie - although it would have been nice to spend some time with your brother, I bet you’ll have a better time with just you and Taliah.
That was rude. I’m sorry, your family doesn’t treat you with much respect in my opinion.
Julie - I may try that next if this doesn’t help.
Lisa - I allowed this pain to change me too I’ve decided not to anymore and am in more pain. It’s a delicate balance. If I do this what will my pain be like tomorrow? I sympathize with you. I may have to ask someone to make a quilt like that for me for my daughter.
Our youngest daughter at age 20 had two slipped disks, it took over two years for her to get surgery and by that time she had a third starting to slip. I can’t believe how she managed that pain at such a young age. I have told her how much I admire her for what she had to put up with.
Kylia - maybe it’s time you and your son in law get new jobs or go on vacation at the same time, let them see the problems for themselves.
Heather - I’m sorry to read you are in pain. I’m happy to read you hard a nice time sitting with the Grands though!
Machka - I would train in:
Gymnastics
Swimming
Kayak
Rori- I’m sending the biggest hugs and prayers.
Another day with 4 hours in meetings and again I’m behind on work and will have to go in and work this weekend. So frustrating.
The cloud cover today lowered our temperature from 32 yesterday to 19 today. It is very damp and humid more like East Coast than Alberta.
At least it’s the weekend!
Tracey in Edmonton2 -
Rori, I'm so sorry to hear of your brother's passing. It does seem as though it was peaceful, which would be a blessing.
Lisa, love the bookcase quilt idea!
Allie, can't believe how rude your son in law was! Ugh, men! (some days anyway! lol)
Machka, Happy Birthday to Rowan!
Pip, congrats on reaching your goal!
Not a lot to say today, and this time I actually mean it! lol It's getting kind of late, have to work tomorrow, so going to shut this down early.
Hugs to those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!

Rori,
I sent a donation to Denver Hospice in your honor and in memory of your brother Greg. I am glad you were by his side when he died. I'm sorry for your losses and thinking what a launchpad you now stand on after helping your two guys with their end-of-lifes. Thank you for letting us share this poignant time with you.
Penny,
That video. How inspiring and how beautiful. Golly, thanks!
Lisa,
What a wonderful quilt inspiration. I love it.
Pip,
I knew you'd reach your goal! That's who you are. And I adore that photo of you and your sweetheart.
Update on the muddy mess,
It is my understanding that the Fixing-of-the-Screwup started yesterday. I am staying away, as it only serves to upset me and would make the workers nervous. Andrew will keep his eye on things over the back fence. I have not yet heard if he got anywhere with the County.
Granddaughter,
Proud of my granddaughter, who was chosen to represent her swim club on the Virginia team at the USA Eastern Zones Swimming this week. They are doing well. I will go to see her last event this morning.
Does anyone have, or know anything about, quartz counters for kitchens and bathrooms?

Karen - I have quartz/granite here and at my last house, but they came with the house, I didn't have to pay for them! Mine here are black with glittery flecks. I love them. If you can afford it, I say yes.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx1 -
RORI so sorry 💔1

Rori all my condolences.1
