Thursday, 7/14 Chat
Good morning! I have coffee on, and the tea kettle is ready for anyone who wants some. It's a glorious morning and the weekend is just over the horizon.  Come sit and have a cup and contemplate our day.

Hey guys,
Wow, I just could not get up this morning so I laid in bed until 6 instead of hopping up at 5:30. I am really feeling TOM coming and my hip hurts a little from the belly dancing I have been doing. I'm going to take a day off from exercise today I think - I've got errands to run at lunch, so I'll be up doing things anyway.
Everyone I know is very preoccupied with what happened to that little boy - a woman I wait for the camp bus with in the evenings was so upset yesterday she was almost in tears. Brooklyn, although huge, is really a series of close knit communities and there is a lot of crossover and there are a LOT of kids in Brooklyn these days. It's very sobering *sigh* and I'm trying not to think too much about it.
On tap for today: work, at lunchtime food shopping, pick up son at bus and come home and do laundry/pack for going away this weekend. I'm hoping I can keep it together around my parents this weekend. As far as I know my mother has STILL not called around to make an appointment with a new neurologist. It makes me feel like she just doesn't care (maybe she doesn't.) Just so very frustrating.
Hope everyone has a great day today! Sorry to be a Debbie Downer.

Matilda, you're not a Debbie Downer. Tragic, senseless news like that gets all of us upset. And the situation with your parents just makes your burden even heavier. Keep your chin up and focus on the positive.

Matilda - I read about that little boy online and your thread from yesterday which made me think about my own parenting and ironically how I had to work to not be so over-protective. Hugs.
Good morning Linda and everyone still to come!
Still hot here but DH made some grumblings yesterday about trying to bike this morning. I don't want to but will get my rear in gear if he brings it up again today. Such a wimp, I am. Tonight we have corralled our son into having our first family dinner since before my he left on his trip so I hope to finally hear some details.

Morning chicks!
Ruth - The coffee is delicious this morning, thanks!
Matilda - now that you have me in tears  after reading your post. I knew about it, but it's one of those you glaze over and keep going with life. The little boy is at least not suffering anymore...I pray for his parents. I'm not sure I could keep my sanity if that happened to be one of my children.
Karen - good luck prying details out!
The PT said I could ride a bike on a flat surface (LOL...that's only in the basement on the stationery bike!). So, I did 15 minutes last night, and 20 minutes this am. My body said, "what, this is all ya got?!?". I look forward to getting a better sweat going!
LONG day at work today. I think I need a vacation!

Good Morning 
Quick check in here, too. Thanks for getting us started, Linda. It's a beautiful day here, as well. I have a dump run, a stop to see if the antique gal wants some of the junk in my trunk, clear the rest out, finish packing, head to a luncheon with mom then pitch stuff in the car and head over the hill. DH is grumpy (what's new) because we may have to come back sooner than planned (next Wednesday) if mom has another eye appt. scheduled. Oh well.
Take care friends, especially Matilda. Sad news about a child affects everyone, but especially when it's in your own neighborhood.
