Hello Nancy, those to follow, those who lurk, and those who are too busy to stop by,

I slept until 9:00 AM   Can you believe it. I woke up and thought, damn, it's awfully bright out...that's cause it was day time. 

Well, today I am thinking of running up to Roaring River and looking at some pretty lakes and caves....maybe.

Breakfast: I just ate an egg.

Lunch: avocado sandwich

Dinner: if we travel, it will be probably be a sandwich (tomato, avocado, or just cheese)

Snacks: raw vegetables.

Topic: Saturday....

Greetings, everyone!

I went to bed last night..despite sleeping pills, I did not sleep so here I sit at almost 5 am. I am drinking a hot protein drink and have taken two (rare) tylenol night time pain tablets in desperation.

Rather an epic day here Saturday. The band, Tragically Hip, are playing and all over Canada are huge video screens showing their concert. The lead singer is dying of brain cancer so this is a very emotional event. Millions of Canadians will be sitting watching their last concert...truly talented Canadians.

My art designers course was cancelled tonight for Saturday.....very disappointing but only 2 of the 8 could attend.

The truth is that I have been pushing myself a lot and really do need to stay home...I feel like I am falling apart. But baking is done, laundry is done and I am just plain worn out.I am secretly happy that our designer date is cancelled as much as I enjoy it. If I do fall asleep in the next hour, I may sleep halfway thru Saturday. JB will allow me to sleep knowing how hard it is for me but he still sneaks up to check that I'm breathing, pick the cats up off the bed and creeps back out, closing the door until another cat decides to sleep ON me.With three book clients waiting for illustrations, I feel guilty sleeping,...I am feeling fuzzy now..perhaps sleep will visit me yet. It's only 5:15 am

Nancy,

You keep yourself so busy and I am so amazed at all that you do. I had to take in a bunch of my pants and was so happy to have that ability but I can certainly understand those who don't sew. 

OMG, I love canned peaches and am going to pick up some more tomorrow and am going to can a bushel or two for my daughter.

Yvonne,

You are doing so good. Dropping down to a size 12 is great news.  I know you are so proud of your hard working paying off in such a big way.

Julia,

We took our grandkids and they were given these little packets that contained area maps and at each area, they were able to get their maps stamped. They loved it. 

I am a little disillusioned with the health care at this point but my new doctor seems to be eager to get started.   

I wish I could eat peanut butter...I am loving walnut butter and cashew butter....almond butter is good too.

OMG, I loved the Cody section. We spent hours and hours in the museum and plan to go back next year.  

You are walking your ass right off...I love it.

I have to agree that all of our doctors SHOULD be in communication with each other on OUR individual files. Having said that, they all seem so busy (and here it is hard to get a new doctor, short supply), that we are lucky to have one at all.

Another hot day here in Niagara, I stayed home. It is PEACH HARVEST here too...tomorrow I will purchase a bushel from the farmer next door as I head to my artsy-fartsy afternoon.. ..peaches, nectarines, grapes. Planning for our 3 day BPW conference and 100th birthday celebration takes a lot of my time...today, I got a lot of phone work done.

Also, I created several images to transfer onto my grand daughters' t-shirts...the older girl wanted an ALIEN image..the younger one just wants her birthdates 9-1 (Sept 1st) and I added a bundle of hearts...they will all be printed in reflective FOIL. That will be done tomorrow at my DESIGNERS PLAYDATE afternoon.

Tonight, I will bake a batch of zucchini bread plus some cheese & hot sausage roll-ups to take along to our crafting session with extras for hubby and sons, of course. Also waiting to do WHITE laundry after 7 pm when the hydro rates are cheaper. We have the highest electric rates in all of Canada here. I will be using HO****er, hoping that the heat will also SHRINK my cotton skirts and tops..all white...well, it is worth a try. Darn, when I never wanted my clothes to shrink, they would.,...now I NEED them to shrink and they won't!!  HOW IRONIC!

I am two pounds above my lowest weight and though I am still a bog woman, and carry mt weight well so that most would never realize just how much I really weigh, I am thrilled and excited. I will see my SLEEP DOCTOR next week and will amaze him with my weight loss- I only see him once a year re my C-PAP machine.

I am SEWING-IMPAIRED (sorry, Mom), but I have so many skirt and tops that need to be taken in...and I cannot "roll the waists" anymore...lol...most need shortening from the bottom...yuck. I do not have the patience to do this...my bad.

Breakfast: hot chocolate protein drink

Snack: banana

Lunch: cottage cheese with crushed pineapple

Snack: none

Dinner: pot roast (trying to get more BEEF in for iron) & steamed spinach plus rice cooked in chicken broth.

Bedtime snack: Hot chocolate protein drink w/meds OR a quick fried egg on a piece of multigrain toast (I always forget how good toast and eggs taste until I finally make them...easy to eat for me, quick prep)

Hi All,

It's interesting that doctors don't have a conference or something when they exchange files. I guess they are tooooo busy. 

You know Linda, I remember going to a Bill Cody museum when I was 13. The only reason I remember that is because they had a matching that formed a wax like figure of him to take home as a souvenir. That was a cool machine.

I'm driving to Tracy today to have a birthday dinner with some women from my work days. Not my birthday, but one of theirs. Hope you have a great Friday!

Breakfast- protein drink

Lunch- toast with peanut butter (borrowed from Linda...sounds good)

Dinner- eating out...probably chicken with veggies

Snacks- Apple pieces with jalapeño cheese
