Good grief! I'm sorry, DD.

I understand all too well the impact of the biting words of parents. Hugs.

GREETINGS all

Another sunny day here. I slept in really late so a short day for me. I did some laundry and went to the gym for my walk. I am up to 14 minutes which I know sounds pathetically little but it's better than when I started. The place is still pretty empty. I am hoping it stays afloat as it is really a super nice gym. It's partially owned by a native american tribe whose members have privileges there so hopefully it will stay open even if not super profitable. There is another building on the property that offers family services to the tribe.

So the Dueling Pianos last night was fun though we did not stay for the whole thing. It was two player/singers who take requests for money. I requested "Light My Fire" with $10 but they had not gotten to it by the time we left. Lots of good songs but also quite a few that are too new for me. Lots of drinking encouragement. Younger crowd but it was ok.

DD glad you got through your parental visit and it sounds like you did some good things, whether appreciated or not. Sometimes older people seem to need to vent old issues and sorry they had to land on you. I am sure you recall I endured a lot of rude stuff at the hands of Crazy Pat in order to make sure my mom was ok and I don't regret it. So pat self on back and enjoy a bourbon...

CC I looked up that train ride. How cool!! We want to hear about it. Trains are so fun. Good scenery, no motion sickness, no driving and no TSA BS. How far is that place from you?

Hey Ann, I bet the new family loves hearing the lore of the property from you. Good of you to share it. Nice that they care.

Dog pill day so the braunshwager is thawed. Think of the song "great big gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts..."

Costco casserole tonight. Humble but tasty.

Tomorrow starts another week. Kiln opening Monday, Scrabble tuesday. And my midwest friends may arrive Wed. Rain predicted. Still not sure why they decided to do northern cal in the winter. Redwoods on the menu.

Cheers. Diane S

Personally, I think your gym walking is impressive.

After all, 14 minutes ain't nothing! :=)

IMHO, it's not how long we do it. It's that we do it.

You're inspiring me to become more consistent (again) with my yoga. This move has wrecked my yoga practice. Today ... 5 minutes!
