Barely, but I'm here. It has been a long week. I started school last week and it's thrown my schedule out of whack. I normally workout no more than three days, take a rest day, do two days, then a rest day. Last week I worked out Tues-Fri (but twice on Thurs) and then had people in for dinner last night. That's a workout of a different sort, but still a lot of work. Today on the plan is lifting, jam making, and homework.

Then it all starts again. Although I've had one class moved around so now Friday will end up being a rest day, which I think will suit me more.

Oh yes, and it's been raining since Friday. Although at least today will be warm rain...

Hi All:

Wasn't last night just so tropical....

We had warm winds, humidity and that was at about 11 p.m., I can not imagine what IKE will bring.

Cold is better, still can't sing, am craving sweets madly so will have a banana. A fellow down the street has a pump working outside already from the sounds of things.

We have no sidewalks here just ditches and although the rain was constant last night and the ground is saturated the ditches did their job.

Hope this post find all enjoying a wee spot of sunshine before the next bout of rain whether you are in line to get IKE or not.

Ann: Congrats on first week of school! This is huge!! Hope the lifting today goes ok and that you can turn it into a workout of some type or other. Will be thinking about you this week.=!

Meowee:I hope your problems with Vista get better soon and that your computer gets well soon!

I hope everyone has a better week than last and that you are safe, dry and have food on the table and lots of friends to enjoy it with.

Cheers,

Muggy here today - very strange. We had rain overnight and earlier but now it's just drizzle. Ike is supposed to dump on us late today so I may go out and put a few things away. I'm not sure about the winds expected but think I'll park on the road overnight rather than in the lane under the trees!

Just popping in to say hi and to wish you all well!

Another busy day for me -- luckily it's mostly inside stuff because it is definitely not a nice day out there. Raining off and on and windy, hot and humid. Summer came back for the day.

Drastic change overnight in both wind direction and temperature -- but still overcast.

Heard that gas prices in Ontario and other places farther west dropped back quite a bit overnight -- still no change here. I can't put off filling up much longer.

See you later . . .

I filled up yesterday so they'll surely drop today! It was $1.36 something but I'm sure it's worse in Meowee-Land. Gotta have it so I just bite my lip and pay although $50 for a fill-up seems outrageous.

Cold here this morning and chance of frost on Thursday. I may get a chance to grab the rest of the tomatoes and basil from my garden today but it'll be tight. I leave first thing tomorrow morning for Ottawa and then Syracuse overnight to catch an early plane to a mini-mod meet in NC. It'll be nice to see Meowee again and we'll do our best to stay out of trouble. We wouldn't want the Canadian MODs to look bad!

Stay warm and out of trouble!

Gas dropped down to 1.36 (was 1.45 yesterday) so that's a bit of a break. Got a few more things to clean up before I can get packed for this weekend in NC.

If I don't see you again before Monday, have a fun weekend everybody . . .

It's kind of late to be asking, but did someone in Hamilton mention walking somewhere on an outdoor track (ie. at a park somewhere)? I'm thinking tomorrow that I don't care if I do the heart pumping cardio at the college fitness center, but it might be nice to just go for a walk (since the weather seems to be better). I should have a little over 2 hours to get there/get back, workout, and have lunch. Of course, I forget the name of the place.

Our gas dropped yesterday (to ~1.29) but I held firm and today it was down (to ~1.26)... today I really needed gas though.

Where is everybody hiding??????

I am home and it was a really great weekend . . . but OMG, I am soooooo tired. Should have tried to do a little more sleeping and a little less talking I guess.

Definitely feels like nap-time . . . see you later . . .

Glad you had a great trip meowee.

Finally finding a groove now that kids are back in school.

Enjoying the warm weather.
And taking advantage of all the fresh produce, getting some stuff canned and frozen.

Have a great day!

After lots of extra sleep yesterday, I am finally feeling almost human again. Our weather is gloriusly sunny and the high is going to be about 14 today. Definitely soup weather; so as soon as I've cleaned the litter pans (and me), I'm off to do a bunch of grocery shopping.

Have a great one everybody . . .

Good Morning Canucks;
It looks like most of you are from Ontario.
I wish I was in Ontario this time of the year. It must be beautiful in Autumn. I was thinking you could use a prairie correspondent. So good morning from Saskatchewan!
The weather here is - chilly but beautiful.
I've been so busy this fall with school start up but the upside to this year is I'm at a school with a later start time, and no cafeteria! Yay!!! I loved the cafeteria but I ate there four times a week. The other day we'd go out for lunch.
This year should be good. I have to bring my lunch everyday.
Anyways, I should go and get ready, have a good day Canucks,
Tam

Hi . . .

Seems I've come down with an 'end-of-summer' cold and I feel really crummy. Too many aircraft and airports and not enough sleep over the weekend I guess. Hopefully it will go away soon . . .
