Mixing my water with JD and ice...does that count?
After a really horrible, horrible day yesterday, I get to have a mammogram this morning. Seems to fit.
Not sure what else I'll do today. I'm not thinking clearly. I do need to see what meal arrangements are being made for our friends. I have not contacted them yet. I will look into that, as well. I know they are, thankfully, surrounded by family and friends up there...I see the cars when I drive by.
This has really hit a chord with the kids at the high school, as you can imagine. And of course all of the ugly, hidious, evil rumors that abound. All we can do is counter it with some truth when we hear the falsehoods
Sassy,
I was so saddened to read about this young man. I can't even imagine the pain and grief that has filled the hearts of his family and friends.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Susan
Good morning to each of you.

Good Morning,
Sunshine is with us again this morning although morning temperatures below the freezing mark. At least the wind has died down. It was a very cold walk with Otto last night and was glad that I opted for a sweatshirt with a hood underneath my coat. I only wish I had thought to stick a pair of lightweight gloves in my pocket.
Dh is again working at the dealership packing everything up. The two employers were walking around pretending like they knew what the guys were doing. Well what about this and what about that and making comments about their cash flow issues while each one of them was having 2 brand new cars being prepped for them waiting to drive away in. I think the sadness is being replaced by anger with how and why this all happened. I think everyone is in agreement even by past employees that have known them for a very long time that this was something that could have been avoided. Ford was just tired of them not doing what they said they would do and decided that enough was enough. There are always 2 sides to every story and somewhere in between lies the truth. DH with his anger issues is dealing with it much better than his wife who always has a reason or an excuse for behavior. I have no words for this one. In a sense I think DH has a sense of relief that this is done. He hasn't been happy there for a long time especially since the youngster took the helm of the business. His loyalty to his coworkers kept him there longer than probably he should have stayed but that's who he is. We only hope and pray that something better is out there waiting for him. DH has had so many issues that have been so difficult to deal with but through the stress of this time the man who I fell in love with almost 32 years ago has reemerged. And for that I am so thankful.
I did keep my date with the treadmill this morning. I really didn't have too much choice since the poking wouldn't stop until I got up! I could definitely tell I haven't been on it for awhile. I just figured I would pick up where I left off but my knee reminded me that it's been awhile since I've done anything. Looking in my journal I was more than horrified! Hopefully I'll get back into a good habit and I know my eating will get more under control as well. A big thank you to DH for his support and encouragement.
The workday was another horror yesterday. I was the brunt of my boss and his "trial mode" mood. He always apologizes at the end of the day and I've been there along enough to understand it but it's not the way to start the day and certainly set a tone for the day. I think both men are on a bit of some type of power trip at the moment which is more than annoying. Our phone system still isn't working correctly and we'll just say I'm way out of the loop of actually having to take messages. Voice mail is so much easier! I'll be packing up my desk once again for the new desk and cubicle that's due to arrive this evening. Everyone says the same thing-who's idea was that? Men!
Lori-I was so sorry to hear about your nephew. Very sad news.
Li-Deb-glad to hear that Katie did so much to pitch in and lend a helping hand. I was also sorry to hear about your boys' friend.
Karen-are you feeling better today?
Thankfuls-although the temperature isn't saying Spring I'm loving the evening walk and seeing more signs of spring. Daffodils in bloom and a few trees with signs of their rebirth.
Thankful for the love and support of DH through a very trying time.
Thankful for the wonderful gathering on Saturday. It was a happy and joyful occasion. Good food, friends and family.
Thankful for phone calls and emails and love and support from friends and family.
Thankful for DD's safe trip and her BF feeling much better.
Thankful for DD's BF fixing up my computer that runs so much better.
Thankful for at least another month of health insurance.
Better get myself in gear. I have chicken soup bubbling away for dinner tonight and have to finish getting myself ready to head to the "nut"house aka work.
Hope you all have a great day.
Susan
My nephew is awake and talking and alive.
Lori
I am thankful that the issue with our furnace this morning was not serious.

Sassy, I feel so sad for you and your family and of course Nick's family.
I wonder how some of you deal with people who feel they need you to bolster them emotionally when you're going through a struggle?
I don't really have an answer to that
Miss P
Today I am thankful that I ran my second run (out of three) for week 5 of the couch to 5K program.
