Monday and I have a dream

Good morning,
It is very chilly, it was 8 when I awoke, and it is now 16, I was just out taking care of recyclables and garbage, my hand were very cold!  I got a new phone , same number and a tablet through Verizon, wasn't ever going to go back, but it is just easier.  I have to go to work at Mr Elders and Roz, today, we are off from school because of Martin Luther King.
I took a great picture out the back door, here it is,

I have a lake, usual for spring and here it is, a tad early but after our snow we had rain and now it is frozen!! 

Well, I am off to do laundry, was trying to listen to my book, but I lost my way while I was typing, listening to A Long Time Gone by Karen White, she also wrote The Sound of Glass, which I have listened to multiple times, she has a great way off presenting and building characters. 

I am enjoying this book, but I must pay attention better as I get lost and have to rewind!! 

Enjoy the day,

January 2017

I guess I am great at starting but not a finishing!  Last year I managed to get to Brother #2 birthday, that was in February!
I once again am hoping to complete the year with more posts.
Today os January 14, it is 21 degrees and overcast. Last week it was nasty, snow/freezing rain etc.  Can't find it but will keep searching but hearsay is we have had more snow so far than last year all together.
I am off to the valley to see if I can get a better phone.
Have a great day,

The month of Birthdays starts

Good morning, Saturday, brother #2's birthday, he is 52 today, I hope he has an awesome day!  I awoke with a cold, last night I was suspicious took some night time medicine, did the nasal wash this morning but I feel like poop.
My blood sugar was good this morning thought it would be high, you can never tell. I didn't weigh my self as I know it is high.  I have been out of control eating, need to get back better.
The aqua hiit class is "fun" its hard work and tiring  I have done it twice now, I may not this next week if I don't feel up to it with my cold.
The class I blew Mary off for was very informative, glad I went. it was about an active shooter and what to do to keep life loss at a minimum,
Well I am off to the store to get some 'sick' items and then I will curl up on the sofa to rest. I hate feeling sickly.
Have a blessed day from the eucalyptus fringe,

Tuesday with Mary

Good morning from the fringe, I am at odds with myself today, I have to clean for Mary today but our boss wants us to go to this meeting, she was pissed the last one we didn't go to, she hadn't said we had to go last time, left it to the other cook to tell us, but she didn't enforce it. So this meeting comes along, send an email never put a thing on it not a note nothing, so last night I get a text that the boss wants us to go to this, strongly encourages it.  That's fine, but I work, I can get out of it but I lose 20.00 by going to this un paid meeting. what to do.

I am going to the gym today to do an aqua hiit class, not sure what it entails but I will let you know, Had to shave, i'm getting those old lady legs and arm pits with not much and most of it is gray,
Well off to start the car, as it is hovering around the freezing point.
Have a wonderful Tuesday,

Another day in the search.....

For truth and beauty, thank you Gerry Ellsworth,
Gerry was a friend and fellow alumnus of my school, he would visit the school often and recite this phrase everyday, Ahh...another day in the search for truth and beauty.  I am carrying on the tradition.

It is Saturday from the fringe, I slept late, I don't feel great and it is cold.  I am whining.

It was a good work week, only three days thanks to the Monday off for MLK day.  I am glad it is my weekend off, I have no plans for anything.  I do plan to do stuff though,  Seems when I plan nothing gets accomplished.
My niece goes back to school on Sunday, she scheduled her driving test, not until april so she has time to practice, she hasn't been doing any driving, can't three point turn, parallel park or any of the fun stuff. Should be interesting.

I did not talk with her as I had wanted as it would be a waste of breath, I am praying to her father and grandparents to get her to see this person she says she loves is not the person for her, why you may ask do I know he is not, he is a cheater, a drug  and alcohol abuser, a mental abuser and not sure maybe physical abuser to her as well, she will not say.  The little she has said, makes me KNOW he is not for her. She claims he has 'changed' . Maybe, but I don't think so we have been here before I don't think he wants to change,  just like her Dad,  he likes his drugs and that unfortunately is a bigger thrill than my niece. I am so worried about her, she threatened suicide because of the way he made her feel, shouldn't  a guy you claim to love make you want to live to see all the sunsets and rainbows?  To love everyday and want to succeed?  Yeah I thought so. So I pray, and yell at her Dad and my Mom who did love her to help as my niece will not listen to her Mother or me, maybe her friends in school will help by reminding her that this person is scum.

I'm cold as I sit her writing, it(my weather station)  says its 70 in here but I have goosebumps, maybe I am anemic.
Well off to put on a sweater, find something to do,
Will see you on the fringe,

Start of the three day weekend

It is Saturday, very snowy/slushy, have to go to brother #1, which is down a very steep hill!  Thought I might go to a swim meet this afternoon, I will wait until a little later to decide!
Haven't kept up as much as I wished to, 'it' life has gotten in the way, working sometimes really sucks.  I was hoping for a snow day last Wednesday but it didn't happen.  It is fine, I just like those bonus days!
I will be making cookies later as I got my new scoop, still have to get it but I got a  text that says its ready for pick up.  It will make life of the baker  in me easier.  I am doing cookies for the auxiliary and this will speed things up.
I need to knit and to make my aprons as well, a busy weekend is planned,
Well off to start it, I already separated the puzzle pieces to begin that later. Now to breakfast, more coffee,

Tuesday, what can I say….?

I missed writing yesterday, I was exhausted from work, amazing how being away, not talking with a lot of folks and then going back and chatting, talking with the kids and walking on that cement floor, my legs and feet were killing me, I cleaned for Roz, then home  and trying to go get my mail, I thought I was never going to get up those stairs.  I did it, I took some ibuprofen and felt better.
Today was more of the same, maybe a tad better,
Got some sad news, my sister-in-laws Mom passed away this morning, not unexpected, but still very sad.
It was minus 5 degrees here today, its only 11 right now, I have my sweatshirt on and the thermometer jacked to 74 and I am still chilled.  I hate being cold, and I hate being hot, but I prefer hot over cold.

I am going to bed early, as the last two nights have been late ones.  I am tired.
well not exciting, but I wrote,
BS not taken
weight not taken,
temperature -5
Until a warmer tomorrow,
