Just Chillin as my holiday isnt till April 19th. Passover that is. Tevia decided to pounce on my head so I decided to get up and start the thread for today from Sunny and rainy Florida. So Talk On. Have a great day!!!!! CArla

Good Sunday Morning and Happy Easter to all who observe!. I am still battling this crud. At least I have kept it from becoming brochitis although it is in my chest. I have been resting and drinking lots of fluids. That in turn sends me reuglarly to recycle those fluids.  My son, N, and grandson are here with me for Easter. We all plan to go to church together this morning. I am surprised that N wanted to go with me. She has always been adamantly opposed to church. It feels good to know they are sleeping just above me. I am off work this week for spring break. I wish I wasn't sick for the break. I would like to plan some outdoor activities. I do need to mow my lawn. My grass is almost too high to mow at this point. For some reason, the idea of mowing before Easter just seemed ridiculous to me. My lawn is the only one in the neighborhood that needs to be mowed. Go figure! Ok- a little on the personal front. I have had 2 coffee dates with this guy. He is a very well spoken, intellgent man who is respectful in every way. He used to be a NYC police officer. He was disabled as a result of breathing in the dust and debris following 9-11. Best is that he isn't married and has a job! Woo hoo!  I hope everyone has a pleasant Sunday and a Happy Easter!

Good Morning, Annie is in her usual morning spot, curled up on my lap, helping me catch up on the OFF family. She's content to have me up and out of bed.  We are going to Dave and Mary's for a family celebration. Tomorrow is Mary's birthday so I ordered a cake from the bakery. It still feels odd not to bake the birthday cakes. Too tempting for me so the bakery gets the job. For years I created fancy cakes, even had a small business going. My daughters had pasrty tubes in hand by the time they were 3 years old and loved to help.One time we were making cakes for a friend's baby shower. The order was for one pink and one blue. As I was putting on the finishing touches we noticed our puppy had snuck up on the bench and had licked the frosting off the back of one cake. There was no time but to apply more frosting and deliver the cake. The girls were sworn to secrecy and I was in charge of cutting the cake. They had a giggle fest as they watched me carefully cut and remove that part of the cake. Darned puppy. The two support groups are having a combined meeting to bid farewell to our dietician. Usually they have separate meetings, so this will be fun. We are having a big clothing exchange too. I need to finish clearing out all the clothes from drawers and closets which no longer fit. It has been an adventure trying to have clothes on hand for the past 17 months. There were times that items fit for a week or two then were loose and baggy. Not much for for a non-shopper. Kisses to all Annette

Morning one and all, Things have been so busy at work that I haven't been able to do much more here than just check the posts to see if everyone is ok.  So, now it's early, no work today, and I can spend a little more time with my friends. We don't have anything planned for today, just kind of playing it by ear. The kids might come over later, we'll have to see. I'm in the process of finding a new gym and a trainer. I'm sure if I start doing some weight training and build muscle I'll look and feel better. The trick is to find someone who will work with my "situations', that is the  low weight and the Achilles tendon thing. One guy I talked to seemed to know lots about nutrition, but charges $240 a month for 30 min/ 2 times a week. Yikes!  A lady I'm seeing tomorrow is less expensive ($180) but has a degree in nutrition. She might be the one, so I'll let you know what she says. The weather has been just beautiful here, so maybe we'll get outside and do some much needed yard work.  Too many choices! Hugs and smoochies to all
