Hi manna!
The party was a huge success. The lady was eithet 87 or 88..no one could figure it out. Big surprise for her. Great finger food and mostly protein...all of it good for me, yea! Then i had cake. Reall. Good cake...i cant remember the last time i had cake
I brought a doggie bag back and shred with etta...she likes shrimp! And i met a wan who lives near me and has a nine lb shih tzu named sophie. She said they would come to visit! And i have a fenced yard so i think it will be really great
Right now the back yard looks like a hayfield but maybe knowing they will come will motivte me to mow it
Hope i can get up while its still too cold for bees to fly to plant the second butterfly bush. I think there is a yellow jacket nest close to the spot i want to put it
Better get to bed i guess if im gonna get up early

kayak...i hate i when that happens.
i woke up from a dream where i had a very dissatisfied (sp?) job that made big bucks.
along with a group of people we went from place to place tasting oysters and shots of kind of alcoholic beverage...it was the shots we were to evaluate.
I keep thinking..I have got to find a better source of income. This is rediculus (sp?)
Those with me thought it was great..they got paid to pour poison in their bodies and get drunk. Not my kind of crowd at all or employment. Posts: 15927 | From Became too sick to work or do household chores in 2001. | Registered: Dec 2002

I checked the weather report. Depending on which site you look at...cooler now with monsoons predicted....monsoons usually only last about 10 or 15 min around here.
So weather wise it looks good for camping.

Thats a funny dream kam...they can get wierd, huh
I ended up leaving my bed for the recliiner and ended up in the daybed...but slep well
Alot of pain again and i realize it is mostly the knee i had surgery on a year ago yesterday...the doc had told me it could take a yearto get better...its been a year and its worse
He wants to do the othe knee and then my hips but at this point its a pass for me
Unless i cant get away from the pain im ready to just slow down activity and spend more time in wheel chair rather than go thru the surgeries again
Yes tutu...since i have lived here my closest friends are a group that live close to each other(but i ended up moving away)
The one that keeps us together is the one that does all the construction on my house...always there for me. She is 55 and i am 65 and the two other longest in the group are single women 79 and 87. Then there is a woman around 70 who has been battling cancer for years who outlived two husbands and just gotmarried to a third last june!
We are quite a bunch...theres at least two other couples who live close...everyone helps eack other and i would say dogs and cats are the common denominator
Many of us met over pets
So it was a good time...i got to know a woman better who used to have an irish setter and now has a shih tzu who is too pudgy so im.hoping we can get them together-the dogs-to run off some lbs while we visit
My house isnt finished yet but i can see mysef making more timefor social stuff...its really important and good for me
Slow todsy...must start by picking up messy house...but it is beautiful out and i hipe i get to di something outside eventually

I mowed the lawn myself for the first time this year. I am so out of shape and could barely do it. I will be sore tomorrow.
I had to get the neighbor to start the mower and once it was started I could not take a break for the 90 minutes it takes to mow, because he left and there was no one to restart the mower.
Now I am going out to rake--the lawn was really high.
Not sure what happened to my teen who mows. He never replied to my e-mail and it just needed to get done.
Beautiful outside today, though, so I should not complain. And I should be glad I am well enough to mow.

Hiker i went a couple years relying on someone to start the mower and when i moved here i broke down and bought one of the plug in ones. Im glad i did but you have to figure out how to not run over the cord and it sometimes pulls your arms a little...but better for me
And i also let the house go after doing dishes and laundry and got a good chunk of lawn down. It was like a hayfield in the back
I wanted to put poly on the office baseboard but didnt get to it
Im beat but will need to pick up a little more and shower cuz sheet rock guy is coming at ten...i need to be sure i have paint ready for himcuz he said he would paint and do floor and when hes ready i want to be ready
Im still wheezing and having breathing and fatigue problems...i hope i get blood test results tomorrow. The inhaler is on its way but hasnt gotten.here yet

LP--I would have to have a very long cord for the type of mower you have. I have 1/3 acre to mow.
I think next spring I will buy a gas mower that has an electric start, so I don't need to pull the cord.
Still, pushing the mower undid a lot of the progress I made with my elbow and shoulder this spring and summer.
I may need to find someone else to mow the rest of the season, because I think my teenage boy is now too busy with school and another job.
LP-perhaps you should not mow until you get your inhaler.
Kam--I heard on the news heavy rains expected in the Southwest due to the hurricane that is approaching Baja, California.
Arizona was in the heavy rain area--be careful if you go camping.
Anyone hear from AK?
