Jim, it great how well you do with running. I get tired thinking about it. And the fishing sounds like so much fun. What kind of fish you go after and do you catch and release or take them home for meals?
I would love to have my cat talk back and explain what is wrong. I had him groomed yesterday and a very short cut. He has so much heavy hair and it is so hard to keep vacuumed up. But he seemed like he was in shock after the trim which is shaved on his body with just a maine and big ball on his tail like a lion.
I felt terrible and he was so sad all afternoon. He is acting better today. I always worried about people going into a kind of shock when too much hair was removed at once. This is the first time I had a cat groomed that way. But it should really help with no needing to constantly clean up shedding hair.
We are back to cold and rainy days again. But getting so much closer to spring and lots of daffidals and tulips coming up. It feels like it should be Easter but that is so late this year. It should be a lot nicer for egg hunts. We have had them in the snow some years. So looking forward to warm sunny days again.

Good morning, everyone!
I had a great weekend. Saturday was the 10-k. I jogged the whole way and actually went at a faster pace than the 8-k two weeks ago. Hopefully shaking off the winter's rust. There was a band and a hot dog and beer for the finishers. We actually have another race next weekend, but it's only an untimed 3-K.
Saturday night, I fell asleep on the couch and missed the epic ending of Houston/Duke. I think that I will win a little in the pool whatever happens tonight, but more if Florida pulls it out. I may go to CrossFit before the game.
Yesterday, I went fishing with my son. We got sandwiches at Jersey Mikes, ate a picnic and fished for a couple of hours. It was opening day, so the Lake was absolutely mobbed. We are going to try again next weekend, but start much earlier to beat the crowds.
QOTD: Speak every language. I fear the animals are mocking me.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: Chicken
Have a great day, all!

Good Monday morning all. Here's to the start of another week. Two more days left for this outage and then hopefully we are good until the Fall outages. Didn't do too much the weekend except burn some wood outside yesterday as the day was perfect for it and some small outside cleanup.
QOTD: Would you rather speak every language in the world or be able to speak to animals? 100% speak to animals. It would make things so much easier to be able to talk with animals especially if they are sick or injured. Then they can tell you what hurts.
B: coffee and 2 hard boiled eggs
L: seafood salad
D: leftover turkey
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone!!!

I like to donate to organizations that set up and take the donation out of my account so I don't have to remember. At present it is just PBS and a local cat rescue group. I used to donate a lot to church and to political groups. Not so much anymore. AA rainy few days coming up, but it is 60 and sunny today. I have a groomer coming Sunday for my cat. The warm weather is really making him shred and I am going to try a short cut called the Teddy Bear cut. I am sure he will look fine and give me a break from constant va*******

Good morning all and Happy Friday,
It's the weekend... Almost. I am trying to figure out what to do tonight for date night. Maybe a candle making place.
My mom's birthday is Sunday and we're talking her out for a nice meal. I already have a sentimental card and note.
QOTD- I donate financially to American Cancer society, Alzheimer's Mae Bell Organization, Chicago Canine Companion Shelter.
B: nothing.
L: Grilled chicken sandwich in lettuce wraps.
D: ??? I'll figure something out.
Stay on the sunny side of the street.

"I wonder if pizza thinks about me, too."
I wish I were that dog, it looks so happy!
QOTD- I donate monthly to Sea Shepherd, All Classical Radio, OPB our local NPR station and I gave to the Friends of Timberline to help rebuild from the fire. I used to volunteer for the Cat Adoption Team and the Portland Women's Crisis Line but it was too triggering. And I wanted to take all of the cats home with me. I need to find a volunteer opportunity.
I'm not sure what was in the air but yesterday my nose wouldn't stop running, so I ended up taking an antihistimine. It's supposed to be 67 today and 69 tomorrow so I'm going to try to get some plants and work on the garden. The last thing that I have to do to the pantry I bought is put the doors on. It was a pain to assemble and I don't read pictures a few words would have helped.
I plan to go to the movies this weekend, I'll probably see Captain America even though I've heard it's not very good but I like to see them on the big screen.
I also need to do something with the greenhouse since it blew away, I've decided to get rid of it. I partially disassembled it but I have to get that done. Since it is going to be nice I might finish that this afternoon.
Have a great day everyone!

We don't have much set for the weekend which helps being able just to log on to work when I feel like it.

Happy Friday everyone!
I got Marilyn from the airport and we made it home at about 11:30 last night. So no swimming today. I've missed three in a row, I'm going to have to make a concerted effort to make it both days next week.
Marilyn had a good and productive couple of days in Florida. Are neighbors are very thorough and have provided her with the checklist that they use when they close up their place. I think that she appreciates it, but they are stressing her a little with reminders of everything that could possibly go wrong.
This weekend can't get here soon enough. I'm doing a 10-K in Chicago tomorrow, fishing with my son on Sunday and March Madness tomorrow evening. I have a few gym trips and errands as well, should be pretty busy.
This week is Spring Break in Chicago, so it's been pretty quiet on the roads and in the office.
QOTD: My term is up, but I was a Board Member for our County's Court Appointed Special Advocates. CASA provides volunteer advocates who help children that are navigating the Family Court system (generally abused or neglected children). Right now I am not on any Boards, just a financial supporter of various groups.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: hot dog
Dinner: chicken
Have a great day, all!

Good Morning Jenniefer and Menuers,
It is a little dreary but not too cold here for the opening day of baseball season. The game starts at 4:12. They may get a few innings in before the rain breaks. This was an odd week here at work. Not as busy as usual. I hope next week turns around. Pretty much a typical weekend. Gym, Mom duty, I need to bake brownies for her last day of bowling and stuffed cabbage for Sunday dinner. Can someone explain to me why a 10lb bag of potato's is $3.99 and a 5lb bag is $3.59. It makes me so mad. Yes, I bought the 10lb and giving 1/2 to my brother but there is nothing right about it.
QOTD: I donate to the City Mission, Humane Society and the VVA. We also go to many fund raisers throughout the year. We do bingos, Night at the races, and anything else that sounds fun, and we feel it is worthy.
Accountability: I grazed dinner.

Good mornin y'all!
Wednesday's appointment went ok. I have an egd and colonoscopy scheduled later this month. Not exactly looking forward to it but I've had em before. The prep is different than the others I've had so there's that. I've not been feeling all that well. Just off. Hopefully today'll be better.
yesterday we didn't have power for nearly 8 hours. They are replacing the power polls. It was annoying but necessary I guess.
we're supposed to get up to 4 inches of snow this weekend. Boooooooo!
That's awesome about the charity donation match! What a neat thing to do!
QOTD: we donate more regularly to a women's shelter here in town than anything else and the food bank when possible.
b: eggs, turkey sausage, cheese and coffee
l: probably soup
d: ???
