Allie – so sorry about Sean
Jess just called. She’s going to bring the kittens here Fri. And Vince will go to Startown (vet) and get the other two. He’s beyond ecstatic. I’m happy, but I wouldn’t say ecstatic. I guess we just view pets differently. I love them and would never in a million years hurt them, but to me, they are still a pet. Yes, they tug at your heartstrings, but they also give so much joy. I just don’t treat them like a child.

I’m so far behind I’m not taking notes but wanted to comment on a couple things.
Empathy - I tend to be affected by people’s moods and can adopt them myself quite easily.
I also tend to read a room and/or situation quite well.
Beth - I hope your mom gets into a place quickly. What great news on your implant.
Annie - how wonderful your dad enjoyed the seniors group.
Self serve fountain machines - most of the fast food places here have switched to the self-serve model. You buy a cup and get free refills for that visit. However, I’ve heard that some places, even stores are talking about getting rid of self-serve, one reason for the fountain machines is exactly what you’re saying people are doing, it’s supposed to be per visit not forever. I hope they do.
Did the doctor say what is wrong with your foot?
Allie - such a shame about your brother’s marriage and his drinking. Hope he kicks it fast.
Lisa - I started following your IG I should put some of my stuff on mine.
I was given the opportunity to end my practicum this Friday as I’ll have all of my hours in. However, I’ve taken the option of continuing through until next Friday.
I have found a couple of jobs I am going to apply to this weekend. They are admin/payroll again, but I can’t afford EI all summer and then poor wages again in the Fall. I’m hoping that over the next year the unions win some negotiations, the local school board hasn’t given a raise in 11 years. I don’t know how they get away with that.
Tomorrow is our 37th anniversary. I don’t know where the time has gone. Some years have been very difficult, but I think overall there have been more good times than bad and you know, he still makes me laugh and gives me butterflies.
I’ve been scrapbooking the last few evenings, and this weekend I’m going to make Freezie sleeves for the kids in the class I’m in. It’s a small class of only 17 so not a terribly large job.
I am going to put their names on them, some of them have very unique names so I’m sure they have trouble finding personalized items.

Happy anniversary, Tracey! 37 years is a LOT, and if he still gives you butterflies, you're doing better than more than a few! 👀😜2

Good morning. It’s a dull, but dry morning. I’m going to flower arranging after lunch. It’s the last session before recess.
Tracey: Happy 37th Anniversary. All relationships have rough and smooth patches 😝 It’s part of the human condition. Good luck on the job hunting.
Pip: Hope you feel better soon.
🤗🤗🤗 and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for those who need them.
🙋♀️ Miele failte to the newbies.

Good morning ladies!
I have a nasty cold today. I don't know how I can pick up dad at the senior center without exposing them. I guess I wear a mask and stay outside. I have been sneezing so hard I'm afraid I will crack a tooth.
Well, I've had my tea, and let the dog out, so now it's back to bed.
Have a great day! May you be happy, healthy, safe and free!

Pip and Annie ~ Hope you both feel better soon.
Tracey ~ Happy 37th! You are going to be a wonderful teacher for those students.
We are still going through a lot of doctor visits trying to get DH's health problems solved.

That's me trying to pack for our move!4 -
1 week until the shortest daylight hours of the year. Then the daylight hours start increasing!!
I'm tired of doing stuff in darkness. I don't mind the cool winter temperatures too much, but trying to move stuff into our house after work in blackness is difficult. The long dark drive there and back, trying to unload the van in the dark.
A little extra daylight will be very welcome!

Tracey ... Happy Anniversary!!

Tracey A Very Happy Anniversary for tomorrow!
I hope you can find something that will be a convenient, easy, extra supplement to your teaching assistant job, when you get one.
I didn't post this morning because I was feeling a bit low and had no energy. Last night, all my painkillers, and the supplements I have to take to tolerate them, all erupted at once, and my digestive system was in severe pain. I had an evening of misery and a short night. I was just out of energy this morning.
However, I had a nap after lunch, and I'm feeling more like myself. I even ventured up the stairs to the top floor, for the first time in two weeks! Came down on my hands and feet for safety, but it was nice to see it again. Looks like I will have to light another carpet moth bomb. Just a few moths, but good to catch it early.
I'm doing my physio exercises, but I've noticed I get out of breath really easily. Something to work on.
John collected my BP prescriptions this morning, when he went out for his Thursday fruit and veg shopping.
I was completely out of one, but all is well.
Tomorrow afternoon I have my wound inspection appointment at the hospital. It all feels good to me, and the bruising has disappeared. It's about 6 ins long. I imagine they will put something more temporary on it. My stitches are all dissolvable, so nothing to remove. John will drive me, and I will get an Uber back.
John is making Cauliflower Cheese for dinner. Yum!
Then I am watching recordings of Long Lost Family - Born Without Trace, about foundlings. They trace relatives through their DNA. Amazing stories. I really don't understand why John doesn't want to know anything about his father's family, but he is adamant. I find genetic connection fascinating and it is a big part of my next book.
Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx6 -
I had ham, beans, potato salad made with oil, and a small plop of mashed potatoes. Too many carbs, but what DH made yesterday. Supper was just a handful of mixed nuts and a once of cheddar cheese. I also had 1/10 of a Keto brick (100 calories but added fat and protien I was missing) only 49 calories over.
Breakfast today was the same: Corn Chex, Almond milk, 1/2 banana, and TB almond butter for protein.

Today is Kitchen Klutz Day!! Who hasn’t?? Lol

Tracey - Happy Anniversary from me as well. Hope you can find satisfying employment when you are ready, wherever you end up. You had a nice break from the stressful place you worked before and now have many new skills under your belt.
Hope everyone with the crud (Annie, Pip, Ginny et al) is feeling better. Allergy sufferers, you too. I've read pollen is the worst first thing in the morning so didn't hit the road for my sunrise ten minutes.
Carol - big hugs heading your way. Repeated doctor visits dealing with your husband's illness have to be wearing.
Heather - glad to hear of your continuing improvement.
Lunch with M today, looking forward to it. The little restaurant we go to has started serving breakfast and is now open an hour or two earlier than it had been. M and I used to be the first ones in the door at 10 for an early lunch so we had our pick of seating. Hope it's not too crowded and noisy and we can find a spot. The food is the absolute best so don't want to find a new eating place.
Have a super day, ladies.
