Just a few months to go until you are on break from now on! Thank you for participating in that protest. There were some in the local area here too that I heard about afterwards. I wish they would have some effect.

Yes, thanks for reminding me! I can donate up to 2 days, so that would be a good use for some of them.
125.7. Staying about the same. Really need to be careful to not dip much lower. I'm considerably more bony than I have been in the past, even at a similar weight. Aging, loss of muscle mass all contributing factors I'm sure.
Character Development class and church this morning. Only one Character Development class left out of 12. Well worth my time!
I'm still sore from my resistance workout on Friday. Didn't sleep well at all last night so I opted for a nap today instead of the treadmill. Tomorrow will hit it for sure!

My bus left at 8:00 but no breakfast out for me!

I have quite the mix on my exercise playlist. Country, Foreigner, Jimmy Buffet, Queen and Praise and Worship music are just some of them!

Do you have the option to donate unused PTO. My hospital did this and had a PTO bank that people could apply for if they needed PTO but didn't have any left. I took advantage of the program when Ben was sick and later died. I took the whole month after his death off to grieve and get finances in order. I was so thankful to have that time and still get a partial wage! I ended up donating my leftover PTO back to the bank when I retired!

Such good news to hear the little one is doing well! And do really need to find new music when there are so many fabulous oldies to listen to? I think the newest music I have on my favorites list is Smooth by Santana. Must be 20 years old now?
Greetings all
It's raining today and we are supposed to get quite a bit. Off and on. Fine by me except it makes the lawn grow and I just have to pay for more mowings. First World problems.
So I am sitting here waiting for hair to dry. After that I will go to the gym to waddle around. Yesterday's music was the Beatles White Album. Then I need to stop at the hippie dippy grocery for my red rice yeast supplements and whatever else I can find. Might be a night for loose meat sandwiches. Did I mention I need to find some music that is not 40 years old?
I did not attend, but the Hands Off protest here at the courthouse was huge. Looks like it was huge all over. Good on you DD for going and using First Amendment. Quite the event.
Liz sorry you have a cold. Think zinc. But the best medicine may be just lazing about. Hope Mike's golf round is better. Head for the beach club while he golfs. Thanks for the shoe ideas. I will investigate.
Peps don't forget that BMI is a lazy and bogus shortcut for statisticians. You look great. No one on the planet would call you obese. sometimes I think BMI is about like determining IQ by head circumference . Not applicable.
So we watched the last of season 4 of Dexter last night. I was not prepared for that one!
Amazing how gloomy weather can make you feel like a 3 toed sloth.
Well next Thursday is the second eye procedure. Must get organized. Drops start tomorrow and various other things must be lined up and organized before then.
Yeah Paula you should see about art in shops on consignment. Lots of places do that - at least around here.
Our little grand niece is doing well. We get an update daily. Eating more and alert more. Such a gift.

We're starting Romeo and Juliet, so I'm hoping that will raise my spirits! I have 9 unused sick days, and I've put in for 4, 1 for mammogram day, and 3 for DDs graduation in May. Pondering if I'll use any of the last 5 for mental health... I feel like I need a few in reserve in case I do get sick in the next 2 months.
Ha! I woke up feeling a bit resentful that I have to return to school tomorrow. I believe I am already mentally/emotionally retired!
