Morning all.
Happy - Thanks for setting us up on a new thread. Where in the world is the year going!? == I'm sorry to hear that your mom's housing situation is getting more difficult for her - and for your sister as well. And that permit parking they have in the high density areas is a real PITA. We never had it where we lived on the NW side of town - thank goodness - but sometimes we encountered parking issues in other parts of the city. It'll be a difficult and busy time for you and your sister to search out and sort out the options for your mother, but it's unavoidable. == I suppose it's a good thing she's not expecting to live with either you or your sis. Ugh, just thinking about what my mom and my sister and I went through to get her house empty and her stuff packed...I don't envy you with that challenge. Good luck!! I do have to say I feel good that my mom is in a place that's specifically geared towards people her age, and if she ever needs assisted living, that's available in the same community too. I'm sure the thought of that will be the thing that keeps you going when things get tough.
Shad - I'm sorry you have a cold. I hope it hasn't turned into something more serious like bronchitis, etc. Hope the doc and some REST helps. Feel better soon! What a shame to have to miss a visit with Miss S for her bday.
Susie - How was the 4th in Blue Ash? Sounds like a lot of fun with the concerts and fireworks.
== 'll certainly keep Genny in my thoughts. == Yay for the loss at TOPS last week!! Hope today's weigh-in goes well - just stay in that groove! == Yeh, I'm logging my eating in MFP, though I did fall off tracking last weekend...but eating wasn't bad. The regular cardio is helping me out.
Hellos to Ceejay, Annie & Dee.

We didn't get an email to leave the office earlier, so I ended up on the 3:10 train on Tuesday. I got home, changed clothes and left again to take my mom grocery shopping. Only one store, so it was a quick trip. Back home, changed clothes again and went to the fc for a workout. Did about 30 min on the recumbent.bike and my mat work.
We had a lazy day on the 4th. I dvr'd the Nathan's hot dog eating contest to watch later and then watched a little bit of Wimbeldon. Watching that tennis tourney is one of my holiday traditions, lol. We went out to eat at a new breakfast/lunch place in our village's downtown. It's got cute décor, and bf and I both had tasty sandwiches.
Later on we watched the hde contest - such a spectacle. Before this, I'd only seen short news clips, but the most entertaining part were the intros of the contestants by the "ring master". That might be another holiday tradition going forward...or maybe when it's just crazy hot and humid like it was yesterday.
In the evening, we met two friends at a bar that is situated within viewing site of a fireworks display. We had a table on their patio and watched the fireworks while we hung out.
Very quiet in the office today, just the way I like it.
Gonna hit the fc after work. Right now it's time to post this and get myself some lunch. TTFN!!
