Good morning, ladies. We might make it to 55 degrees today, but cloudy and grey day.
I have certainly missed all of you. I had the surgery to remove the screw from my foot. It's healing nicely but I still have some stitches in it. I have to wear my ugly boot and hope to get rid of it when I go back on Thursday. I really hate not being able to do any weight bearing exercises.
Faye, I am so sorry those female problems have reared their ugly heads again. What a disappointment for you when you thought they were over. I know you will get to your goal by cruise time for you are a determined lady.
Jean, I always have mixed feelings about the senior living centers. It sure would be nice in one sense, but there would be a lot of funerals, too. I hope I can stay at home and die in my own bed. We are required to put trash in the can and wheel it to the street because the driver doesn't have to get out of the truck. He has a metal arm that picks up the can and dumps it. Our recycling is now in little bins but they are changing that to big cans and picking up bi-weekly. This is such overkill for one person like me. I doubt I'd fill either receptacle in a monthj.
Maggie, I've made the microwave cake, too. A little Cool Whip frosting is great on it. I also like fruit on it. I have a vase of silk flowers on the table in the foyer and Casper has discovered them. He gets up there when I'm not around and pulls one flower out (usually upsetting the vase) and then when I'm watching tv he brings it to me and drops it in my lap. He wants to play fetch. I think he must be part dog because he brings me things to through and then he fetches them back. He particularly likes a straw and will carry it around in his mouth for quite a while.
Have a wonderful day.

Good morning to you girls. I hope your day is starting out well. We are going to have a beautiful sunny day and finally cracking into the 60's today. It was nice yesterday even in the 50's.
I am reading a Sidney Sheldon book I haven't read and it is pretty good. I got to thinking about old authors that I may want to reread their stuff and found this book on my library site. I finished Jack's hat (the color on the computer is off, the band is really a bright orange sort of like a traffic cone) and so am back to working on my stuff inbetween reading some.
My body is betraying me this week as I am up in weight. I have stayed with my WW and not gone back to bad habits but I guess I must be retaining water with this stupid female stuff. It will all work out, but it does get discouraging when you are working hard. It isn't Monday yet so we shall see then.
Susan: Oh, I am so glad your surgery went ok even with the ugly boot for awhile. I am sure you will feel better overall when it is completely healed. I guess you will just have to do some seated exercises for a bit. How cute! I don't think I have ever heard of a cat that plays fetch so to speak. I had to giggle at him carrying a straw around.
Maggie: Ahh, weigh in. You will have more off by next week. I have used the crumbles in chili and find that you don't know you aren't eating beef. I am not sure I would use the cubed stuff though. Who knows?
Jean: The yarn does have what they referred to as "marling" in it so I am anxious to get it. They haven't shipped it yet though and they are taking their sweet time getting it ready it looks like. Our cruise leaves Oct 11, which is a Sunday. It is Mexico bound this time along with Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and one other port that I can't remember at the moment. We are doing a glass bottom boat trip in Grand Cayman, a salsa cooking thing in Cozymel and probably high tea in Jamaica at one of their mansions. We haven't decided on the high tea thing yet.
Well, work calls as does breakfast. It is oatmeal with fruit for me today and pot roast, carrots and new potatoes for dinner. Have a great one! Faye
