Good evening ladies!

I've spent so much time sleeping I've got my days and nights mixed up. I didn't get up until noon today and now I'm not a bit tired.

I'm feeling a lot better and expect to be able to work at WW on Saturday. They got power back last Monday.

Maggie, I really like that cookbook. It's one of the better ones for me since the recipes are fairly simple. It'll be a nice change from steamed veggies all the time. I hope your Jeep is truly fixed this time. You are so kind to take the man in. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

Jean, Big Lots already has Christmas things out. The clerk said people don't realize that the retailers get Christmas deliveries starting in June. It's still too soon for me. Usually by now you can't find a bathing suit around here and they still haven't put them on clearance. I want to get 2 to see me through the winter. They are still trying to get the trees cut up and carted away that came down during the hurricane.

Faye, I'm glad Jack is doing well with his knee. I'm still limping around and couldn't go to PT for the last week and a half so I know it's going to be hard next week. Pain pills are good! I think Fortune is getting like a lot of older people - can't sleep at night. He wants company. Maybe he got used to having you all to himself while Jack was working nights. You have two handsome grandsons!

Gail, I'm sorry your husband has to join the ranks of the unemployed again but it is good he has some leads. You are doing well with WW.

I guess I should eat something so I think it will be cereal and milk since all I've eaten to day is a turkey sandwich and a peach. My appetite has deserted me for a few days.

Have a good evening.
