Morning all.
Susie – It's awesome that you’re managing to maintain while work keeps you so busy. Yikes, that was a lot of OT last week!! I hope you don’t do any this week. == Great job on the 5k. Yeh, there is such a difference between treadmill walking, indoor track walking, and outdoor walking. == I ended up having a hair appointment on Saturday too – how the weeks fly by and suddenly it’s time again. == I agree with your comments about respect – doesn’t necessarily go hand in hand with love, though you’d think it would! == Cranberry is a pretty color, I bet it’ll look nice on your door. == Enjoy coat shopping. (I bet the OT pay will come in handy for that!) I agree with Annie – don’t spend much. By next year you’ll likely need a new one that’s smaller.
== Re the crocheted dish clothes – I imagine those are made with cotton yarns? I’ve actually never seen them.
Happy – How was the crochet class? I bought yarn and needles several years ago and never did much with it. == So there are at least three of us who are lefties here – you, me and Susie. Anyone else?? == I’m glad you know what’s wrong with your foot. And I’m glad it’s not a fracture. I hope the exercises can help you!!!
Ceejay – How much vinegar was used in the toilet tank? That’s great it seemed to do the trick. == I’m glad you like your hair. I think color close to your natural color is best, but the admin doesn’t care for her natural color at all, so she likes to get highlights. If I didn’t have gray I wouldn’t be coloring at all! == I have a feeling I may end up someday getting surgery on the bunion on my right foot… whenever I happen to walk around in shoes without adequate support, the bunion gives me problems. == I’m definitely feeling better, but still dealing with a cough. I have some mucinex with me today and might try that to deal with the post-nasal drip and the resulting coughing.
Shad – I hope ds2’s employer doesn’t strike, and if it happens that it isn’t for long! == Enjoy your lunch out with friends. == I don’t pay much attention to politics because it can be maddening, but I do wonder how things would be here if the other candidate (a woman) had won the presidency. Probably just as much controversy going on, but of a different type…
Annie – Yeh, I’d like to be feeling 100%, but the coughing always seems to go on for weeks after the other symptoms have gone. That’s just the way it is.
== The admin is doing pretty well with her new kidney. She’s on several drugs and some have bad side effects – hair loss, the shakes, hunger. She hopes to get on oral insulin since the injections are a bear for her. Someday…. Guess you didn’t miss much with the Greek food at that place. When my mom and dad were in MO she said that there were always new places to try, but often they would close before they had the opportunity to try them. Then again, they didn’t go out to eat all that much anyway.
Hello to Dee!
==
Uneventful weekend. I had a hair appointment on Saturday morning. Went and gassed up the car before the appointment. Afterwards went to the thrift shop and bought a book and that was about it.
Sunday the sun was shining and I got out in the yard and removed the veg garden and cut down all the perennials in the hodge-podge flower bed next to the veg patch. I still have to cut back other perennials in the other flower beds in back, so hopefully the weather next weekend will be nice enough to do some more.
I never did get around to shopping for new makeup. It’s scary that I’m getting used to walking around wearing barely any makeup.
Our annual fundraising activities are going on right now. The theme is music, and our floor’s room party theme is the 80’s. I brought in a concert t-shirt (The Cars) and a few cassettes from that era (The Cars, Bryan Adams, B-52's) and might bring in a few album covers tomorrow. They are using this stuff as decorations. Other than that, I’m not all that interested in participating in the activities. I’m more interested in finding some good charities that will aid the hurricane victims, as well as helping out our local food pantry.
Oh that reminds me, I think I mentioned a while back that bf submitted a few photos of Coal for possible inclusion in the lab rescue organization’s annual calendar. A few weeks ago they responded that he will be included in the calendar!!
Of course, we’ve pre-ordered a bunch of the calendars, lol.
Okay, enough rambling. I’ll get this posted and get on with the day.
