    Good morning everyone. I just got a glib email update on my bloodwork from the doctors office. My liver enzymes were elevated and the only advice that was given was "don't drink." Well I haven't had a drink in over seven months. And, I am on a statin for cholesterol, which is known to be hard on the liver. I tried calling the office and they closed at noon today. Because I have a history of alcoholism I'm trying hard not to hold this against my doctor but I am a little bugged at his reaction.

    Anyway, had to vent somewhere. Back to work.

        I'm at work & can't stay on.

        After the cruise - Mama's MIL had a stroke. Mama's job was eliminated while she was on vacation.

        She told me yesterday & I forgot to ask if I could share. I am sure she won't mind. Please send positive thoughts.

                Went to MN for 50th h.s. class renuion & had a blast! Ran the 5K & took 1st in age group. Have cont'd running as it took a long time to get comfortable with doing that 3rd mile. Want to now increase 5 min at a time. So between runs, golf, working on getting renters for our condo, est. a time for shopping for plants to put on lanai (have a helper), life is busy.

                Snowbirds are back, & the social life amps up. Great to see them, but roads & restaurants are busier. Other news is that it is possibe will have both my kids & grandkids here for Christmas. Just learned that about the Canadians on Wed. Hope they can work it out.

                Better run. Literally, have to go for a run, then head out for eye dr appt. Dh having new boss over, taking him out for golf, & will probably meet up with them later. Have a great Friday & weekend!

                TMH

                I have missed you! I remember those snowbirds all to well. miss it a lot!

                    Hello folks,

                    Hope Mama is ok,


                    How everyone else doing ?

                    It can seem to be a struggle getting through the days after days in life without our crutch of our choice,Its only when we get walking ourselfs, first slowly,then jogging, then marathon running that we find we don't need no crutch, Keep going folks one day one hour at a time.

                            I think that I am doing everything I can to avoid dealing with this banking/bill mess. My Credit Union changed Oct 31. I misread the information and didn't download my statement. That was not very intelligent. Now I have to wait for that to come in the mail. But, the part I'm complaining about is having to go in & change all of my online information.

                            It's so funny but even as I was typing that I was thinking what a stupid thing to complain about. I am so blessed in my life. I have food, shelter & love. If only everyone could be so fortunate.............

                                Nora, hope you got that mess squared away. Had our church yard sale today so that kept me busy. Now to cleaning that all up. Feeling a little stressed cause there's lots to take care of tomorrow. For the rest of today though, I am binge watching the hallmark channel and helping hubby pack. Hope everyone is doing ok!
