What's on your Wednesday Menu?
You know, Sheila, we can't remember what happened to DD's graduation. It was supposed to be in May, and then that was converted to virtual. And then it was rescheduled to August. And we lost track of it. Anyways, enjoy. It will be a proud moment.

I worried for years about everything. I was raised by a very Catholic mother who told me that for every moment of pleasure on earth, God would send a moment of suffering to compensate for that pleasure.
In my early 30's I changed how I though about everything. I stopped feeling guilty, stopped waiting to be punished and decided to anticipate the future as full of good things. I refuse to look back and dwell on past mistakes and past problems. I look at the future and hope for the best. With heart problems, we know that doctors can perform miracles. Let them worry about what to do.
I love your craft room and that the kitty has found it an interesting place to hang out. He is so cute. It will be wonderful to have a dedicated room for your crafts and I am sure you will smile everytime you walk into that room.

Mornin' All!
Room looks great, JB. I especially love all the storage space!! And I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. My mom is 86, and I worry about things like that happening. I hope everything turns out OK for your mom...
So I ended up getting into the astronomy class after all. I mentioned to the advisor for noncredit "guest" students that the system wouldn't let me in because it would put me in credit overload, and she said she could manually override it if I still wanted to take the class. The reason it was putting me into overload is one of my other classes is four credits, and she said that doesn't really matter when it comes to auditors because that extra credit is usually due to an extra research paper, which of course wouldn't apply to auditors, since we don't write papers or take exams. SO - I'm in! And so far really liking it!!
Today at noon a neighbor and I are going to a Juneteenth celebration at one of the senior centers. It's being catered by this woman who used to run a very successful soul food restaurant in town. I LOVED the place - she was a great cook! She closed her restaurant down two or three years ago (boo!), but she still does catering. I was SO happy to hear she was catering the event today, so I signed up right away. So lunch today is super heavy, even though I'm planning to skip the second piece of chicken, most of the mac & cheese, and the dessert (will bring them home for DH). I WILL be eating the corn bread, though. The whole piece. And I'll be sure to get a lot of exercise today and watch the rest of my eating for the day so I don't blow it.
QOTD: mostly an optimist. I get really tired of pessimists. Like my MIL, for example. I'm starting to get really tired of it. We've done everything we can - invite her places, take her places, spend time with her - but she continues to wallow in crap. Sick of it. She's been saying for months she's going to change doctors and try to get on another med since this one's not working anymore, which is of course fine and absolutely what she needs to do, but months later, she still hasn't done it - despite us doing tons of research on doctors, calling their offices to see if they're taking new patients, and sending her the lists of potentials .She just complains about her doctor and her med and has taken zero steps toward changing that. I'm not sure what else we can do. But I NEVER want to be like that. I realize she has anxiety and depression issues and needs help, but what more can we do?? She just refuses to budge. I realize she's an extreme case, but... (just wanted to add that even before she had all the current anxiety/depression issues, she was a pessimist. No matter what the situation, she would always, always, always see it in the most negative light possible. I really feel sorry for her. And for us, really, to have to listen to that all the time. It affects other people as well)
(I realize I'm a little over on this menu, but I may make some changes, and also, I plan to get a fair amount of exercise this morning, which should offset it (even though I don't eat back exercise calories...I just don't worry about slight overages if it's a heavy exercise day)
Good Morning! JB- I'll be thinking of you and your mom today. Your craft room looks amazing, great job.
QOTD: I think mostly an optimist. I saw a meme a few days ago and it went something like you don't have to a optimist or pessimist- just know the glass is refillable.
