    Got our new fridge this morning!! It pretty cool. The guys who delivered it were great and fast! Collin and I watched them and even went outside to see the big box it came in. They took the old fridge with them in their big truck.

    Pat p/u Ronan early today and I stayed w/Collin. I did not go to my trainer cuz we didn't know when the fridge was going to get here but then I could have gone to her but she was at Kaiser getting a flu shot.🤣 So it goes!

    Sara p/u Ronan after she went to his Parent Conference. He is doing really great at school! Now I am reading and doing nothing!

    I will be back at it today after going to a Christmas bazaar with my bff at her mom’s nursing home. Also we are donating ornaments as the nursing staff decorates all the patients rooms starting December 1st.

    I will come home and stretch and workout this afternoon/evening.

    Chris congrats on the new refrigerator. My bff had to get one last month. up early on the heating pad having a little lower back pain. I’ll get the PT stretches done after the heat.

    Kathy, thanks and I hop you are feeling better.

    We had Collin this morning. Made a grocery order so I could make soup. Collin helped! It was fun…kinda!! He understands HOT and was really helpful. Such a great kid!! We have Ronan now. He is playing video games w/Grandpa.

    I'll finish up the soup and then see how I feel. The weather is really strange. It's rained off and on all morning then the sun comes out!! Crazy!

    Thursday: 20 minutes stretch.

    Enjoyed the bazaar at the nursing home. BFF’s mom was alert and having a good day. We stayed for a meeting with the auxiliary. We’re thinking of joining. They do great work for the nursing home with fundraising and it’s much needed. Maybe a way to give back and keep busy.

    I did walk around the block yesterday. It was good. I have my trainer today at 1:00 for a 60 min workout and I plan to walk around the park when I get home. Fingers crossed!

    We are feeding Collin now. Pat is making his waffle and I filled his plate with peaches cheese olives and strawberries. He is watching a Spiderman movie now, he's happy!!

    That's it for now. Have a great Friday!

    Chris so glad you like the new fridge. Love that the delivery guys packed the old one off.

    Kathy that sounds like a great way to volunteer some time and stay busy. Very much needed.

    145 this morning. At least It's consistent. I mentioned that Sunny was not playing well with my butterfly fish. So went to Hobby Lobby and bought some craft mirrors. Put one on each side of the tank. That was Tuesday. Sunny is still trying to show his other self who's the boss. But he's no longer attacking my beautiful Copperband. He should give up in a few more days hopefully.

    Yoga today. My new chair arrived. It has heat, massage, rocks, reclines, lumbar and cup holders. Love it.

    I did not walk after my workout yesterday. Holy-moly I was beat up!! Got to sleep in this morning!! We have Collin's Family Birthday Party this evening. We won't be staying long. We got Collin a puffy Spiderman jacket. It's pretty cool! We ordered two fruit plates to take. They'll be delivered around noon. Hope they turn out good!!

    Really foggy this morning! I sure hope it warms up! it was 43 degrees when I got up this morning. The party is an Outside Affair!!

    Okay, that's it for now.

    Collins party was fun! Too many people and voices for me, tho. I got to sit with all the girls for a bit and chat. That was interesting. We left early.

    Total rest day today! Got to sleep in and then do nothing! Fog and very cold today. Neighbors behind us had an afternoon party with a small band and vocals. I was cold so I don't know how they stayed outside as long as they did. brrrrrrr!

    There is no school this next week. 🙃🤗😃 We will have both boys Tuesday while Sara has her toes done with her girlfriends for a couple of hours but that's it so far.

    Later, my friends.

    I am glad his party went well. It does sound cold for outside. Unless the sun was shining. Both boys at the same time will be interesting I am sure. Get to see how they interact with each other.

    We were outside yesterday for a couple hours. Winterizing all the roses. Got to be a better way.

    Well heading to yoga. 🧘‍♀️ My back has been sore lately. Hopefully yoga helps.

    I went grocery shopping this morning for Thanksgiving. Happy to get that out the way. I’m having somewhere between 15-20 family members over including 6 great nieces and nephews between 3 months and 12. Fun, fun, fun.

    Enjoy your family and the holiday! 🩷

    No boys today. I had my trainer at noon for a 60 min workout. Made a grocery order for the green casserole Pat was asked to make for Thanksgiving dinner at Sam's…strange… Holly is having a Food Drive at her work and I totally forgot to get her some canned food. They will come with the grocery order. I'm hoping I can get them to Sara tomorrow morning so she can give them to Holly while they are having their toes made pretty!! Maybe.

    We have sunshine in and out of the misty clouds this afternoon but it's still cold. I'm going to walk after the groceries are delivered and put away tomorrow. I'll go around the block and around our park then see how my dumb foot is doing.

    Happy Monday my friends.

    We made a Raley's order then waited for the boys to be dropped off. We had them for about three + hours. They were fun!! Now I am doing nothing. The sun shined for about 30 mins this afternoon but now it's gone behind the fog and clouds. I didn't walk. I need to finish my last cup of coffee and read.

    I just found two gifts I hid so Collin would not see them…TOTALLY FORGOT THEM!!!!! EGADS, man!! There will be no problem giving them to him. He comes in every morning and says, "What's new?" and walks into the kitchen looking for whatever is on the counter. 🤣 I hide stuff behind my shirts hanging in the closet. There is a shelf about where the shirts end. Man!!!!

    Okay, gotta get to my trainer now.

    Kathy that sounds like a lot of fun. Hope your Thanksgiving day was wonderful.

    Chris I hope your foot behaved and you had a great walk. My mom often forgot gifutoo. Then found them when we had outgrown them. Silly.😜

    We had a quiet dinner. Our friends were sick so we stayed home. It was still nice. Talked with my brother and mom. Texted my son. He was busy. My daughter is not speaking with us. Not really sure what her issue is. She moved not me. I don't have to like it.

    We will be having our son and his family over for Christmas. Will be nice. 😊

    Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving meal with friends and family.

    I didn't walk today. The air quality was nasty…my nose ran all day long and I still have a headache! Tomorrow we have to go to Target for my Sudafed cuz I am out!

    Tomorrow is Nick's 36th birthday. We are getting together here to celebrate him. We'll do ice cream and cookies in his memory. That's the closest we can get with out going to the restaurant he loved and ordering pazookee. That's not how you spell it but best I can do right now. Cancer sucks. He was only 20 and so smart. 😤😪

    Have a good weekend my friends,

    It's so cold here today. We'll be going to Target in a bit. The kids will be coming over later for dinner and to celebrate Nick's birthday. He liked turtles and I got him a baby turtle hat for walking and got myself a mommy's turtle hat for walking.

    Later my friends.

    Total rest day. 37 degrees out there so no walking for me. I ordered Indoor Walking DVDs and will start doing that again. The DVDs I have are old…I wanted something different. We'll see. Maybe it'll get me to want to walk outside again. I need to get my distance again.

    Making soup now. Finally took off my jacket!! Getting warm in the kitchen.🤣 I'm going to read and stir soup.
