Wow, I lost track of time and did not realize it had been 3 months. What a neat adventure and new chapter in your lives. We are starting on a new chapter also and it is called laying the foundation for our retirement but it does not include starting a new business. There are yarn stores in Wheaton and Glen Ellyn that I noticed but have not gone into. I still like to crochet when I set my mind to a project.

Hi,

I just did a dumb thing, I looked at the clock, and thought it said 4:30, and of course, it said 3:30. I didn't realize it until I went to the post office and then drove home, for Hubert to tell me I was home early . So, I am back to wor****il the right time to leave. That is the way this whole day has gone. I got to work this morning and realized I had left my hearing aid at home. I made a fast trip home to get it. Thank goodness I was working intown  today, not 10 min. From home.

no plans except work for the next couple of days, none for the weekend either. I may try to go to SAMs Club this weekend. I need a few things from there.

have a great week.

Off to the ole salt mines shortly. Yesterday the boss took a vaca day so the other girl and I were left alone and low and behold we were able to get all of our work done and then some!

Not much else going on other than I have a baby shower this week-end that I have been looking forward to.

What is happening in your corner of Lincoln Land?

Good afternoon Chris and the rest of Illinois!

I am home for an hour or so before I head back into Freeport.  I went to Aldi's to get some things for some soups and chilis that I feel like making. 

Not too much else happening here in the west.

Sounds exciting to be looking for new digs.  I thought you were looking to move to Wisconsin though?

I looked but could not find the answer.....did Carla have surgery?  Is she ok?

Gotta find some dinner.....everyone have a great evening!

Hi Connie and the rest of Illinois!

I am checking in late tonight.  I had a long nap this afternoon due to a bad headache and just feeling the need.

I finished my fifth step on Thursday night and have been working on 6.  7 will be early in the week.

Yesterday was very busy, I went to a neighbor's nail party in the afternoon.  It is something relatively new called "Jamberry Nails".  Kind of a plastic overlay.  They are very pretty but seem expensive.  I bought a few for me and the girls for Christmas stocking gifts.

Yesterday evening, I attended a play at a new theater company in Rockford.  The company is called the "West Side Show Room" and the Play was, "Psycho Beach Party".  One of my friends from Pec Playhouse was in the play and actually, it turned out that two other actors from Pec were in it.  It was very funny.  The showroom is very small.  60 folding chairs and the stage in a storefront.  They really utilized the space well.  The play has been extended for next weekend and they will be having scenes and such all day on Saturday during, "Art Scene" in downtown Rockford.

When I left, I needed a couple of things and stopped at Walmart.  When I came out, a car in the lot was on fire in the engine compartment.  I seemed to be the only person that knew how to use their phone for calling 911.....others were taking pictures and video.  Luckily, no one was hurt.

Today, I wanted to enjoy the weather, but the headache derailed that idea.  I feel better, so I must have needed the nap.  I have been seeing a chiropractor for 6 months but he has not been able to make the neck pain/knot go away.  My insurance has paid for everything, but my chiro benefit has been used up.  I guess I will have to attack it medically next.  I see my primary on Thursday, so we will see what she thinks.

I have been sending some resumes but have not heard anything.  I am thinking of taking a retail position for the Holidays.  It will be a start.  I am very gun shy concerning returning to work, but I need an income.

That's about it for me.

Everyone enjoy this lovely weather while we have it!
