Good morning everyone. Susan, hope you guys dry out now. They said we'd have off and on rain all day yesterday but never saw a drop. We are really dry here.Seems like everyone goes from one extreme to another.


The dictionary defines thankful as;

Just for the record there will be no D in front of H or S today. They are acting like boys and we all know what Susan's daughter tells us about boys. By the way glad your daughter is feeling better, Susan. And Otto too!


I'm thankful that's it's 10:30 and nothing has broke down in CL so far. Yesterday

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. That is always such a sad, sad situation. The vet told Mom one of her cats is in renal failure. Seems that is a common ailment in older cats, but a serious one. Her cat has lost a lot of weight too. And, Mom has lost 11 lbs.! I'd gladly give her 11 of mine.


Hope the extra HH time comes through for your MIL. That can be a huge help in lightening the load on the caregiver. It's a full time job for Mom when Dad is home and almost one when he's in the nursing home. I think I'm going to check out an assisted living place near me, just in case.


No wonder you haven't been eaten over your points. Your "plate" is already pretty full.


Hugs,

Your mom has lost 11 lbs?

Thanks, Deb. Mom eats like a bird anyway and tries to watch what she eats, so she doesn't gain, but I think this weight loss has been from stress and being on the run too much to eat properly. She looks better with a little more weight on her.


Tim has dropped 20 lbs. mainly from living on coffee and Special K with berries most of the time, and his face doesn't look the same. I'd like him to put a little weight back on. It's not a healthy way to lose weight anyway. Actually, I don't think he wanted to lose that much weight. He's just been so stressed and focused on things that need to be done at work and with his sister, that it's happened. Here's hoping we're on our way to better days.

I'm thankful that I feel better today. Still not 100%, but way improved. It's a beautiful, sunny, hot day here. We'll probably get storms this afternoon. Hope the ones in NY have passed.


Other thankfuls:


1. MD crew made it home safely.


2. Dad's improvement with his ability to get up and to walk with his walker.


3. Mom coming out of Atrill Fibrillation.


4. Wonderful time with Jackson in Orlando.


5. Fun trip to MD and at the reunion and my niece's 40th birthday.


6. So looking forward to heading to the oceanfront condo tomorrow evening. It comes at a very good time.


7. Zumba class tonight (I think)...


8. Financial deal coming through for Tim's company


9. Pool area landscaping looking really good


No set plans for today. I'd love to have a massage from my neck to my lower back. Just may have to splurge on that. I could use

Look at the time ... what a waste of a morning ... patiently waiting at home for the contractor and electrician to show up and finish their work … they said they would call with a time, but nothing so far!
