I was worried that the kids would be whipped up after such a heated election cycle. It grieves me to say that in 2014, a group of kids started chanting build the wall in the lunchroom. Not good. Today was calm and I even had 2 students with differing viewpoints carry on a civil conversation. It encouraged me.

Disclosure with Kate Blanchett is on Apple +. I'll be interested to hear what you think.

Miss150, I am very paranoid about not having basement access. When I was in college, I lived in a duplex for a few months without it. A tornado literally went through the backyard and took the 3rd story off a building across the street behind us. I truly thought I was dying that day. After that, I never lived in a building where I couldn't access the basement. My parent's current home does not have a basement, but they had the hallway closet reinforced to be a shelter if needed. By the time we dragged enough stuff out of it so we could fit in, a tornado would likely have passed over.

Greetings all

Sun is out big and it's almost hot. I went to the gym to resume walking. Mid day is definitely the geezer hour. Hardly anyone there. Works for me and no grunting. After that I stopped in at the hair salon to make an appointment as no one there answers the phone. I have a new person as the previous one is gone. Works for me. I am no longer fussy about my hair and just need it chopped. Also stopped at the hippie food store and got a pot pie and a few other items. I carefully inspected all of the cookies from the bakery but bought none. Was craving some kind of comfort food like cookies and milk but overall, gluten free does not cut it. Settled for just the milk.

We turned off the tv at about 9;30. Not happy with the election and DH is downright despondent. I told him to take a dog and go walking since it really is lovely. Next I will allow him to watch whatever stupid sci fi alien show he wants.

I also worked on our lease counter proposal. Someone came up with some good comparable so will use that. Hoping for progress.

Well CC, so Kirby has a girlfriend! Well Kirby, enjoy the feeling while it lasts. Chop chop.

Bonnie fresh made tahini! What a gift. No clue how to make that stuff. Enjoy.

Liz I think Disclosure is on Apple tv. We have run though the available episodes. Enjoy water aerobics.

Not much else. Found a pot pie for tonight. Ultimate comfort food.

True but very different viewpoints on other things too. And a lot more positions are elected vs appointed compared to Mass.

Congratulations!!

I was generally unhappy with most of the Florida results. Not quite like living in Massachusetts.

I broke through! I logged 219.8. An achievement of which I am proud! I'm pleased that a focus on goals and not diet was the catalyst for kickstarting the weight loss.

I was not glued to election updates last night. I figured I'd know soon enough the outcome and I was right! California issues that I supported did well. Sort of no brainer issues like marriage freedom and getting tougher on crime (which is ridiculously lenient in CA!). The other two issues that did well, surprisingly, were the two health care issues on the ballot: one limiting how HMOs can use federal subsidies for drugs and the other ensuring medi-cal health care for low income families.

Not much else here. Focusing on the same old same old - dogs, retirement, organization and eating disorder recovery and weight loss.
