Worked (for some reason, it seemed to take longer today) then put out this anti=-ravity chair we have (that I don’t like and wouldn’t mind if it broke like the other one) and put air in my float. I want to be ready for the pool when Mother Nature is ready. Put out some of the ceramics. Donna – welcome! Evelyn – HUGS Ginny…

Did a stretching for Seniors DVD which I really didn’t like so I’ll donate it. Then did an abs Kettlewerx DVD and then just went in the pool and swam laps. Came home and we spread seed and straw. Then walked to the dollar store and stopped at Food Lion for bananas for Vince. Had dinner, now here. Warm today, in the 80’s.…

Worked then aerated the areas where we put down the top soil. Then put down grass seed (Vince did that) and I put down most of the straw on a slope by the house. Tomorrow we’re going to do more. I would think that we’d get most of it done. Went to the ceramics birthday party. I’m suggesting to Vince that we should have the…

Worked then we had our end-of-season bowling party. I know that I overate, especially some of the desserts. Brought my own veggie burger, put tomatoes and onions on it along with the mustard. Fruit and cheese with that. But I did have some of the cakes, unfortunately, most were store bought (which I really don’t care for).…

Did Joyce Vidral’s Complete Workout DVD then went for a walk around the neighborhood then to Aldi Rori – Lexi had kidney issues which is why we used to Royal Canin. The worst part was that you needed a prescription. KJ – I’m so sorry to hear about all the illnesses in your family Spread the rest of the topsoil. Boy, am I…

From what I've read, most patients can be treated with a combination of surgeries, medication, and PT or OT. The article I read says that the long term outlook for a child who has been treated is good. So that should give Tracey some hope. Still....prayers going out to her. Michele NC

Worked then stopped at WalMart since we needed baking soda for the pool and I got a few other things. Then worked outside putting down the topsoil. Tomorrow we’ll probably finish and then put down the grass seed. Boy, will I be glad when this is over. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Joyce Vidral Complete Workout DVD then…

Worked then put down top soil. See, we had some left over from last year and I really want to get it down before lots of weeds grow on it because I know who’ll wind up having to cut those weeds down. Same person who had to cut the weeds off the pile of dirt they left after putting in the pool. Shoveled some in different…

Did Cathe Hardcore ExtremeDVD. I don’t think I’m going to like it since it seems to be very high impact. Then went for a walk around the neighborhood. Honestly, I’m getting somewhat bored with the same scenery. Gotta think of something else. Maybe it has been opened and I can now walk in the neighboring development. Bought…

Worked then stopped at the soup kitchen. Seems someone gets things at a church and brings them to BK so I take them to the soup kitchen. Kim – thanks for the update about Karen. She’s so missed but I’m glad to hear that she’s doing well Linda – I’m so sorry to hear about Tim but so glad that he’s doing better Tracey – what…

Worked then called about jury duty. Seems I don’t have to go this week. In a way, I was looking forward to going. I had my tablet ready, I planned to read email, read the paper, then play mahjongg. We were just going to have a quick dinner since I had no idea when I’d be getting home. All that gone. Oh well…. So I went…

Worked then cut the grass. Got dinner ready, have beef and barley in the crockpot and right now some meat for pulled pork in the IP. Also made more hard boiled eggs. Will probably go for a walk shortly. Washed the blanket along with a few of my winter coats. Yippee! Vince downer said “you know, it’s supposed to get in the…

We returned the loaner car today then went to Sam’s (I had a credit and wanted to get dishwashing detergent – theirs was rated the highest.) and Vince ordered new glasses. Then went to WalMart for a few things. Ginnny – yes, I totally and completely agree that anyone who has access to children (or the infirmed) should get…

Well, I went to that meeting at the church. It was about getting a background check for all volunteers. I highly doubt the church is going to pay for a background check. My guess is that it's probably around $50. I am NOT going to pay to be able to lector or count the donations. Heck, I volunteer at the soup kitchen where…

Worked then cleaned our deck since it’s supposed to get cooler later in the week. Allie – our cats always loved the laser pointer. We could sit, point the laser, and the cat would run like crazy after it. Would tire them out, too Terrri – happy birthday! M – so sorry to hear of all you tooth problems Linda – so sorry about…

Walked around the neighborhood, got over 10,000 steps. Finished the one wing of the Polish eagle x-stitch I’m making. This pattern is on 12 sheets of paper. If you don’t line them up exactly, your count is off. Honestly, I got to the 5 foot rule….if it looks good from five feet away, it’s good enough. Rusty – I’m so sorry…

Allie -- I have another way you can solve your problem of the cat keeping you awake. Get another cat to keep her company!!!!! :) Michele NC

Ginny – I will probably have any chemo gift sent here. Trying to do it with Amazon overseas, I can just see a hassle regarding international payment. If I just have whatever shipped here and then send it to her, that will probably be easiest. A bit more expensive (more, it’s more to send something to Switzerland than it is…

Did Cathe Slow and Heavy DVD (one part) then walked to Food Lion to get potatoes that were on sale for Vince and his bananas. Then we started on the pool. It’s getting there, just need to give it more time. Making yogurt right now Lanette – the prednisone was 6 one day, 6 the next, then 4 one day, 4 the next, then 2 one…

I was depressed yesterday, but I’m not today. Was able to get out in the sunshine, cut the grass, cleaned the wall from the spa into the pool, then put down Preen on the hill on the side. Guess I just needed a little sunlight. While cutting the grass it was so funny to see, Vince was in his pants with a light jacket on…

Lisa – Vince once rented a skid steer. I don’t know why he didn’t spread all the dirt we had. Now I’ll have to do it this summer because I do not want that pile of dirt. When they installed the pool, they left a pile of dirt. OK, that I can understand. But Vince did nothing about it for years. Finally, I got so fed up that…

So far, nothing special today. Vince’s new tractor was delivered. It’s raining off and on so I probably won’t get to go for a walk Annie and everyone else – I’m just fine, thanks for asking. We’ll probably take the car to be fixed either today or tomorrow Kim – what a day you had. I can understand why your mother feels the…

Went to the Y and did HIIT. As I was going there, they were doing construction and before I knew it I’d hit a barrier. Looks like the whole front bumper came off. So I came home and Vince drove me to the dentist then to Aldi. Now we’re home, I have a pineapple angel food cake in the oven for Vince then we have the condo…

Anne Michigan – you are doing so wonderful. Keep it up Barbara – no bruising or swelling by the eye. Just a burn Going to the Y tomorrow to do the HIIT, then the water aerobics but I’ll need to leave early since I have the dentist appt for the routine cleaning at 10. Then I’ll probably go to Aldi. They’re having the…

The plan for tomorrow is to do some HIIT and then take the water aerobics. Afterwards (well, actually I’ll have to leave the water aerobics early) I have a dentist appt for the routine cleaning. If they have the permanent bridge I’ll have them put it in. But honestly, I don’t think they will Lisa – thank you for telling me…

Did 30 Minutes to Fitness Your Best Body DVD then walked to Food Lion since they had Doritos on sale. I totally forgot to get Vince his bananas so I got them when I went to WalMart. Unfortunately, on my way to Food Lion I tripped and fell. The worst thing that happened is the one part of my glasses that goes to the ear…

M – the only reason I can think that they recommend you keep animals inside during the eclipse is so that they don’t look up to see what is causing the change. I’ll be especially interested in the responses you get about the flooring. I want to get rid of the carpeting at the condo (eventually) and am thinking more on the…

Barbie – books for a preschool gift would be great. Only I KNOW that Denise won’t read them to PJ, he can’t read yet, and I’m not there enough to read to him. Kim – I know PJ has a lunchbox from preschool, but a backpack might be good. Linda – for his birthday, we got PJ this remote fart machine. 5-year-olds think farts…

Oh, anyone have ideas for preschool graduation gift? Michele NC

There wasn’t much prep today. My understanding is that one of the managers did most of it yesterday. Why? I’m not sure. The only thing I can think of is that I found out it was a salaried manager who did it, and I’m guessing that corporate said “as a salaried manager we expect x hours from you”. But on the other hand,…
