Sending you extra peace and love dear Snowysmom.

@Snowysmom You're right, not a good start, but look at it as to what is going to go right, instead of wrong. Your friend should be more diligent about reading emails, and should have followed up the day before you left to make sure the rental car was still in place.
I hope the rest of your trip has a better outcome.

Good morning, 49 now going to 62. Got to 72 yesterday, it was nice to be able to open the windows again for a day. I did mundane things, cleaned and WD40'd all the ceiling fans, changed the filters in all 3 cats water fountains and the water pitcher in the fridge. I checked the Xmas lights to make sure they worked, and put them up while the weather was so cooperative. Then I went in the cellar and gathered more trash to put out, I'm making progress except for the yard sale pile, still waiting for the guy to call and come back to see if he or his friend wants it or not. If not, I'm going to put a few things out at a time with a free sign on it at the end of the driveway to get rid of it.

Sat on the deck with a cold glass of lemonade in the afternoon and enjoyed watching the birds, and the cats running around the yard trying to catch them (they didn't, lol).

Putting a small pork roast in the crockpot for dinner. Will have plenty for leftovers this week. I don't think I'm going to get into much else. I added Apple TV to my Peacock subscription because it was only going to add $4 a month to the cost. I'm watching Palm Royale, it's kitschy but I'm liking it.

Have a good day

Hooray that you relaxed dear Lynn. Have a great Sunday

Slipping thread save with as always all my love. Antonia is coming back on Tuesday morning. Dad, tomorrow, will be following up with Rob our floor advocate. I will be making a few health care related calls myself. I am very thankful to restart therapy tomorrow. Finally. I will sure give it my all for however long I am here. Sweet dreams everyone.

Good morning, all

Still not fully adjusted to the time change, so I've been up for quite a while. But I went to bed fairly early, so I'll probably be fine. It was nice to start the day quietly reading a book.

I have a class at the library this morning, then the afternoon free. Need to do a bit of housework and come up with some inspiration for dinner.

Mona Hope your therapy goes well and your advocate can help with the flooring issue.

Good morning. It is 51 here and temps heading to 73. The car worked out as the place we got it from is a car dealership. Nice ride to Sedona. My room is quite a hike from my friend and the main hotel area but it is adding up the steps. Met the program leader and she is kind and very knowledgeable. The women in the group seem nice. Today is stretching, yoga, art therapy, and meditation. Maybe I will finally learn to relax. Jeff’s family is recovering from a stomach bug.

Up early and just waiting to go to breakfast. Have a good day.

Love is that you made it to your destination with all the chaos!

Yay and just enjoy rest and relaxation dear Snowysmom and a change of scenery too. Have fun prayers my friend.

Dear Pollyanna, early morning reading sounds peaceful. I pray it was.

Dear Judique, prayers always for you, too, you know that.

Monday joy to all. More later.

Good chilly day. Only going to be 40 today and it's windy on top of it. I put an extra tarp over the cat house yesterday, the new kitten has been hiding in there, the youngest of all of them is the smartest, lol.

I'm going to put some heavy duty plastic around the bottom where the legs are so they can do underneath if they want to be outside but still have some protection. I also got out the new heated water dish I got them, I'm tired of having to go out every 2 hours in the winter to get frozen water out and add more warm.

I just did a walk around of the yard and on one side I have 2 rectangular wooden boxes that Don built years ago, maybe 3 feet by 2, and there are still blooming petunias in them. With all the frost we've had, I'm amazed that they're still going, lol

He's been gone 2 years today, hard to believe that time goes by that quickly.

Have a good day

Met the program leader

I can't wait to hear about what you thought of the program and what all went into it! Enjoy your time there!

Amazing how fast this difficult time has gone by so fast. You've been a great example of keeping yourself motivated, I particularly enjoyed that you mentioned you & your friend had a conversation planned soon to discuss your next travel destination. As it happens, as if often happens! my husband is on his way up your way as I type, I booked him into the Hampton Inn in Frostburg...not exactly the Taj Mahal but it's the Hilton property for up there and we had points...he's making a pit stop there for the night, stopping at the farm to put out one of his trail cams and say hi to his uncle, then going over to the Greenspring, WV area to check on his folks, clear out their gutters and haul some old furniture to the dump for them before heading home. If all goes to plan he'll be home by dinnertime. He's been known to do that trip up and back in one day but with the time change and it getting darker earlier and going to the farm he's just going to go up tonight. It's getting to the point where his folks can't really take care of their place any longer, and although his mother has accepted that his father hasn't so we are hoping to cajole them into coming around to the idea of moving to a more appropriate place for their needs over the course of the winter. It doesn't help that the closest family member to help them is 3 1/2 + hours away.

So the pups and I will chill out by ourselves this evening. Chill out being the operative word and it's rather chilly! Fire in the fireplace for sure tonight! I made chili yesterday afternoon, we will have that for dinner tomorrow night.

Have a good afternoon everyone -
