What's Up Tuesday?
It's back to work for me. I enjoyed the three day weekend but all good things must come to an end or there would never be good things--the good would be the routine. So, here I am preparing for class and wishing my students loved writing as much as I and that they were better at it. I'm also getting ready to pay my hotel for the conference in Ohio and the one in San Francisco. I'm hoping that while I'm in those places, I can meet up with some of you from that area. Both conferences will run about three days and I will fly into both on Thursday night and leave on Sunday. Oh, they are in March and April. I'll post more about my times later.
Well, I must get back to the reading.
Happy Tuesday, Vera, and Everyone,
Back to work for me today after a week away. Yikes...... Keep good thoughts for me as I can't even imagine the piles that await. It was nice to be home - even if the reason wasn't good - but I'm thrilled to be getting out of the house! Have to get hubby a follow-up doctor's appt for today or tomorrow and run through the market after work. Otherwise, just a busy, busy Inauguration Day.
I've been eating too much and not enough exercise so I hope to get more walking in at work today. I've got foods ready for the week for me and am prepared to buckle down to discipline once again.
Special thoughts for Carla today.
Hugs,
Kathi

Thanks so much for starting us off this morning, Vera. I so look forward everyday to starting my morning with my OFF family. I like the quiet and the serenity of my morning with you all. It brings me peace and time to reflect.
It is snowing yet still. It comes and goes but mostly seems to come. We are under the storm warning until 6 tonight. It was suppose to end yesterday but they extended it to tonight. I guess we are use to the lake effect snow when you are so close to a lake like ours. But I do so get tired of shoveling Lake Michigan out of the front yard.
I see that Misty's little friend has been back to see her. Their little prints are out in the snow and come up to the patio door. I have pictures of him or her, whichever the case may be, coming and peering into the door to see her. I am sure that Misty knows they are there since she has such good hearing that she knows when I open my eyes in the morning. It seems like the minute that my eyes open she is in the bedroom wanting loving. I ask her how she can hear my eyes open, but unfortunately she doesn't tell me. Maybe someday she will let me in on the secret.
Nothing much going on here today. I am planning on staying home and jus****ching the Inauguration on the television. I am so glad to be able to witness first hand so much history of our fine and great country. There has been so much I have got to witness and then I think that when my DGS goes to school he is going to be reading about and learning what I have seen and witnessed in my life. I remember thinking that about my parents and grandparents when I was in school. I guess that is one of the perks of living a long life. I hope that I have a lot more to experience.
I am so glad that I stuck with the food plan for me yesterday. I started putting it in a journal and it seems to work. I hated doing it before but for some reason I did it and for one day at least stuck to it. I only hope that it continues to work that way. I am not one to journal my food. I have always had problems doing that for some reason. Even in OA and Weigh****chers. I use to love to journal my thoughts and such but I have even gotten away from doing that too. I am very much a writer and have always been. I love to write poetry and I have dreamed of writing a book. I remember starting to write a book when I was a kid too. I got my sister to help me and I remember sitting and just working and working on the great book that I was going to write. Who knows.......maybe one day there might be one. I can't imagine it ever being printed but I would be able to say that I accomplished one of the things that I wanted to my whole life.
I better get to movin' since I am going to read my bible readings for the day and then the newspaper. I have been lax on reading the paper and I am not happy with myself on that either. I need to redo my list of priorities soon. I seem to have gotten them confused somewhere along the line.
I am sending love and hugs to all along with prayers/ good thoughts. I am hoping that everyone stays happy and warm today and stops to think of just how far our country has come. It is amazing to me. We are all living history in our country today and that is not a good thing but a great thing.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Morning Vera and all,
Well, just eating properly put me down 2 lbs. Yay! Now I just need to not play the game of "oh, that's good enough," and stop the properly eating plan. Work is busy and I find that even when I'm not hungry, I want to munch at my desk. I didn't yesterday and won't today. I am planning all "snacks" out and walking past the candy and cookies that are in bowls and on plates all around the building. The also have a daily soup provided for employees. It's really nice of them and often really good, but also often really unhealthy. Also the Home Health people bring me all kinds of goodies to get me to recommend them to my residents at discharge. So I never know when one will drop in and surprise me.
It is cold here, 20 degrees and they are talking snow for this weekend. I sure hope not. Was sunny yesterday and I am noticing the days are getting longer.
Well, all have a great day, take care and TTYL,
Thanks for yesterday, your words of encouragement really helped.

The men were not able to complete the furnace installation because one necessary part was missing. No heat, no ho****er and it is 4 degrees outside. 
We got up every couple of hours during the night to run the heaters - okay ... TOM got up first while I stayed snuggled under the electric blanket. The cats stayed with me to stay warm.
It is too cold to sit here. I'm going to wrap my feet around the heater.
Kisses

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.
