Good Afternoon/Evening! Thanks for getting us started, Susan. I definitely know about things that always go to the bottom of the pile. Sometimes I do pull them out for donation, but not often enough. We had a discussion of this at bookclub -- the hostess had a "duster" that had been her Mom's. She had worn it once or twice in the six years she lived here.
Glad your microwave should be repaired soon, twinny. Hope your Mom continues to improve. I am wondering if you will need to check her laundry from time-to-time. Not fun to have to do so many loads of wash at one time. Hugs to you -- I can certainly relate to your caregiving issues. And, prayers for your DD.
Happy you are getting back to exercising, Kathleen. I really wish I wasn't someone who had way too much "stuff", but..... I'm getting better, but boy is this a slow process. I'm ready for cooler weather here. We had some cooler weather, but now it is back in the heat. We may even hit a record this week (nearly 100 degrees). But, I guess we are better off than Charlene with 103 degrees -- yikes. Hope your cool front really helps end your record tempeartures.
Smart idea about the cookbook, snicks. I donated quite a few of my cookbooks a few years back, but there are probably more that could be donated after I copy out a couple of recipes.
Hope you find a solution for your twin issues, Charlene. You are making me nervous about having a crown replaced. That may not be necessary for a while, but..... I have never had plantar fasciitis, thank goodness. But, I know that it can be very painful.
Good to see you posting, LindaR. Hope your birthday was fun. A bunion also sounds painful. I remember that one of the ladies in my office had surgery, and she could not drive for a while. That was a huge problem back in the days before you could "work at home" or use computers. I think she joined a carpool after a while because she was missing too much work.
Waves to Jean, Bernie, Marijane, Rosa, Karen, Gayle, and all of our posters and readers.
I had my "strong bones workout" this morning, and then took DH for his TB test. The nurse wasn't ready for us, so the director suggested we go in and do some of the exercises the group was doing. That was fun. Just had time to bring DH home, and glance at the computer before it was time to prepare his lunch. The bookclub was fun -- I didn't care much for the book "The Wives of Los Alamos", but three of the ladies enjoyed it. The hostess prepared a wonderful lunch -- "soup to nuts" as DH would say, and her house was nicely decorated for Fall and Halloween.
No big plans for the rest of the afternoon, but I need to decide what to prepare for dinner, and write the minutes of our meeting. Writing those minutes takes time, and all that lunch has made me a little sleepy. But, I'm sure I'll get it done.
DGS' friend made it through surgery, but is still asleep (a coma, I guess). They don't know if it was a cancerous tumor or what his recovery chances are yet. So, please keep Colin on your prayer or good wishes list.
Have a nice evening everyone!
Hugs,
Linda
ETA -- Sorry you need to get up so early for your assignment tomorrow, Jean. At least you like the school. Good that they have such an excellent substitute for the teacher who is getting married. But, I hope it won't wear you down too much working that many days in a row.
