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.

Back when it was in for white people to get an Afro, my mother got one. Her hair was permed with the tiny little red rods and then used an Afro pick to fluff it up. She did not drive back then. When my father came to pick her up, he hated the hair and did not want to take her back looking like that.

Chrissy that is a wonderful story.

I would not last long because too old and weak to fight and I would not believe that it was real. So would probably be their first victim. But barring those types of events, I have a good chance to live a long life. Many in my family have reached late 90's and some lived into their 100's.

I have one aunt and one uncle still living. They are both healthy and sharp as a tack, but both have problems with their legs and are in wheelchairs. They are both widowed and have always been close. Now they live in the same Jewish longterm care center in New Jersey. Aunt Nora turned 92 this week. Uncle Mike is 96.

Love that idea for protein hamburger roll. I love the smell of baking bread and the smell of freshly laundered clothes from the dryer.

People get so entitled expecting ti.e off too count towards vacation. Once they have a perk like that they will resent losing it.

I used Franklin planner for years. Ended up using their software and pages that went in the printer. I quit when I retired and after awhile started missing appointments and forgetting to do things. I ended up creating a Word document To Do list. I spend 15 minutes every do adding and removing tasks. I have friends who never plan and never write things down. I need that structure or worry that I am forgetting things.

Ice cream is not something I can eat anymore. I used to love Breyers Strawberries and Cream. If my husband and son were out of town I would buy a box of that and eat it all weekend. It was really creamy and had wonderful strawberries. That was 30 or 40 years ago and nothing like that anymore. I do have a half gallon of Breyers Lactose Free Vanilla in the freezer. It is the only thing I can eat and only a small di**** gets rock hard so I have a scoop that is chemically treated and gets warm in your hand. Then it is easy to scoop some out.

Still pretty cold, but will be 69 on Saturday. I can see all the green buds on the trees and the sun is shining today. So nice to know spring is coming back.

Love that cat bed and how organized everything looks.

If you have a cat in the yard the rabbits will go away. I know you do not want a cat.

At ER they did xrays and said nothing was broken. Doctor ordered cat scan and they did that Friday. I got results back last night so now understand why it was so painful. It is unbelivable that the employee thought he could be rehired. I know you are glad that he is gone.

Great news about your outage. So glad you are done with that and getting back to normal schedule. Asking where to send flowers to the "dead" sister was a brilliant move. Since you could not ask for proof of her death. It is so sad that people do not value their job, but I believe some of that has to do with mental issues.

I fell a few weeks ago and was going to start physical therapy this week, but they did another scan and I have fractured pelvis, so it will be staying off of my feet until it heals. When I went to the ER they said nothing was broken. The doctor could not figure out why there was so much pain, so he ordered a cat scan and that shows the fracture.

I was upset with myself for having pain, but now see that there is a reason for it. I am fortunate that my family is able to help with some of the things I have not been able to do. My sister is doing my cleaning, laundry, and taking the garbage out, and changing bag in litter robot. Just stopping in and checking on my helps a lot.

I had to look up póg mo thóin. LOL

Weekend sounds so nice. On the plane with sunscreen and pool chemicals would be a bit uncomfortable and I know you were happy to get home to your shower.
