Hi everyone - sorry that some of you are still dealing with snow. We are having Spring weather, and I see all my daffodils and ranunculas coming up. Bernie - bless you for helping out with special Olympics. I have a 62 year old handicapped cousin that just lives for the special Olympics. I think that swimming and bowling are her sports. I'm glad that even the older folks have a place where they can compete and make friends.
I finally got my grape vines pruned back, and fertilized the flowering bulbs coming up. I have made a note of several chores around the house that I've been procrastinating and have been catching up on those a bit. Plus, still paying a lot of attention to the stock market. It's interesting to me, but a huge time drain. Not complaining - it's just that time often gets away from me. Still getting my 6,000 steps in, and still shopping a bit too much. Such is life, lol. Oh, and my mother seems to be doing fine since her bad nosebleed.
Happy Birthday Marijane!!! ~ Charlene

Happy birthday Marijane! I had my women's group this morning and now am at home cleaning and straightening. All my paperwork ends up on my side of the table so you can imagine what a mess it is.
Jean, I hope thoughts of summer in your new sandals can chase the snowy blues away.
My dog caught some kind of cold. I overreacted a little bit yesterday and rushed her to the country vet because city vet is expensive. So I got to spend a couple hours in my home, which was nice, and do a load of laundry before buzzing back to the city.
Twinny I hope your Mom can be more child like and have things to look forward to. I'm sure it is a pain explaining. I always worry about how I will act when I am nearing the end of my life and forgetful. I can only imagine what kind of "get me some whiskey" things I will be telling people!! God please bless my girls to have a sense of humor, you know?
Susan, I am sending my ironing thoughts your way. I'm thinking you got a new furbaby not so long ago - how is that going? Forgive me if I have yall mixed up.

Bernie, I wear my heart on my sleeve and it doesn't take much to pull on those heartstrings. My church is putting on a huge gala for special needs kids and young adults - similar to Prom with a red carpet and the whole shebang on Friday. It sounds so lovely!
Charlene, I was wondering how the fitbit was going. I accepted a 100 day challenge and commited to 8k steps every day. And then failed yesterday as I was in the car for 6 hours. But I will get it in today!

Kathleen - Thank you for asking about Katie. She is doing well, she is a senior dog so we don't get out for long walks, but we go out for two shorter walks a day. She also has lymes disease and two of her legs shake at times. I know you all must think I am nuts for taking her on, but she is worth it. After visiting her at the Humane Society and she kept running to the window when a family would walk by, I knew she was coming home with me.
Oh, I did get my ironing done today - Go me!
Hope everyone has a good afternoon.

I don't think you are nuts at all. This is coming from me, the woman who lives with a crippled pigeon that was attacked by something and can't fly. If they are beaten, broken or damaged, they find me. They literally end up on my doorstep.

Awww Susan, I am not one to think you are crazy. I fall in love with the ones I think no one else will want or take. I'm glad she has a forever home with you! xoxo

It's 3:30 already. I had a long talk with my girlfriend. Our discussion this morning and the theme of the week seems to be finding my worth in _______________. I did fill out a long application and one of those 80 question assesments, and now I've got some tphings to get done here before Beloved gets home.
I just seem to wake up earlier and earlier, currently about 4:30 and I might go back to sleep or might not. I bought some already cooked chicken and want to make chicken fried rice for supper, I think. I can't stuff not one more thing into our fridge or cabinets so I'm determined to not spend a penny for 5 days. We'll see how that goes. I need to get out walking too. Can't believe the day is almost gone.

Susan--Katie is a treasure. The Humane Society is a great place for pet adoption and Katie connected with you. When I went to adopt another cat, I had an entirely different type in mind but there was something about the personality of Midnight and the way he lookerd at me told me to consider him. I asked if I could take him to the lobby and let him lap sit where there were more distractions. He was perfectly behaved. In fact, I remember one of the workers saying, "Would you look at that!" I later found he could be a little challenging and dislikes other cats, but he has never been a problem for me.
The outpatient surgical center called today to pre-register me. I just hope the weather is acceptable on Monday. I hate to go through all that cleansing routine on Sunday and not be able to go for the procedure.
