I have had 4 busy days in a row~~too much for me I am a 'Sloth' even more so since my retirement, it is so wonderful not to have to get up to an alaem clock I can easily sleep till 9-9:30. Since Friday I have been on the go Friday I meet DD2 at the medical center she had to have a nerve test on her wrist~no problem there but now he wants her tested for 3 other things one being Lupus;( Then off to lunch with her, shopping after for me, then dinner with DH and friends. Sat all day with my DS~~Sunday again all day with DD2 at a swim meet she was in. Monday off to San Digo I go every other week to meet with a lady (who practices Ayruveda) I am doing life style changes to go along with my yoga. This a a 200 round trip day~~DH went with me this time, We ate lunch on Coronado Island and poked in shops, then started home stopping at Stone Brewery to eat and have beer ;) Stopped at DS house on the way home to see his new bedroom set and give him GC from the brewery for their 1st year anny! That was a 10 hour day!! WHEW!!

Do you all do days like that or even like to?? I do but only maybe 1 day a month.

I'm just like you YL. In fact I have even less endurance. I went on a couple hikes last week and hosted a dinner party on Saturday and I've been 'slothing' it ever since. But I start up again tomorrow. I have hikes scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Since you have to drive right by my home in OC (I live in Irvine between the 5 and 405) you should drop by for a quick coffee or tea the next time you're heading back home from San Diego.

It's weird, some days I can just go and go and go, others, I just want to hole up with a good book or the internet.

Today, I've been on the go since early--moved all the furniture (except the hutch and loveseat) out of the living room. Vacuumed, shampooed the rug. Took the shampooer apart to clean it (almost more work than the entire shampooing process). Did a couple of loads of wash, hung them out on the line, scoured the tub, took a shower. Now I'm just waiting for the floor to dry so I can give it a 'fluffing' vacuuming, and move the furniture back. Although, I did cheat and put on a clean pair of white socks at the door so I could come in here to use the computer--LOL!

Tomorrow, I've got a bunch of paperwork to get done before a meeting I have to go to, and I want to make a basket of bacon appetizers for the gals since that recipe is in my next column, then there's the meeting at 5PM, and I have to pop in to see the managing editor for a project he and I are working on, so who knows what time I'll get home for dinner.

And I know Thursday will be hectic--our dentist is an hour away. Our dental plan, for some reason, sends US the check rather than sending it to the dentist's office. So, since I hate to mail an endorsed check, we'll need to run up there and drop it off. So I figure I'll get up early and make them a nice fall spice cake with burnt butter frosting. Then DH and I will probably make a day of it--doing some shopping, going to lunch, visiting a bakery he's been missing since we moved.

So by Friday.... I'll be wanting to stay in bed, too!

Funny, DH has always been out of bed by 5:30-6:00, even on his days off. Now that he's 3 months into retirement, he's been getting up later and later--today it was 8:00!

Kathy, That's a promising sign when the Mesquites start to leaf out. I'll have to keep my eyes open for signs of Mesquite buds around here. Daffs are up and blooming, and I've spotted some Forsythia in full bloom, too. I spent part of yesterday cleaning out garden beds and discovering emerging perennials. Since I have removed some old mulch, it had BETTER stay warm. :-) Marilyn

Brrr staying home today.

Meh...you zone worriers are funny. First of all it's not how cold it was, it's duration. I followed the temps from various places, unless you live right by the Springfield/Branson national airport which is north of Springfield, I doubt you hit -6 and -9. SGF is the official weather indicator for Springfield temps. However, there are four official weather stations in and around Springfield that are more indicative of what your actual temps might be. Carriage Park for example only hit a low of -3.4. Well within zone 6b (USDA zero to -5) or even zone 7 Arbor Day (mainly for trees). But both zone formulas use 30 year average temperatures, which are statistical averages meaning one year the low could have been -10 while the next year the low might have been only 40 but over the 30 year period it averaged a low of zero. But the biggest thing is duration, on one of the coldest nights until 3am Springfield/Branson was at zero or 1 above, then it dipped down to -2 for a couple hours, then -4 for a couple more then -6 for an hour and then started to rise back up until it reached into the single digits. Those temps were not around long enough to do any damage to hardened off plants. Now if we had been below zero all day for several days like Chicago which USDA shows also as Zone 6 supposedly the same as the Ozarks then your trees and certain plants would be in trouble. Chicago was below zero all day for at least 5 days, regardless if it was -16 or colder, they never reached the single digits, yet they are supposedly zone 6. In Chicago Giant Lake Michigan froze over, yet little tiny Lake Springfield still had water showing in the middle of the lake, and of course Tablerock had no freezing whatsoever, just lots of fog evaporating off the warm water. We have a very mild climate in the Ozarks and you can grow plants and trees from zone 7 and maybe even a couple from 8 without much problem.

The only thing you can do is to keep taking him back to his room and laying him down and telling him it's time to go to bed. Try saying it in a stern voice. It will take time to get this to sink into his head. I think he will wake up for a while during the night because it's something new~think of when you go stay at someone else's house or in a hotel or something and you can't sleep right. If you worry about him getting up and you not knowing it~like he doesn't come into your room~we used to take one of the baby gates and just lean it agaist the doorway so he would push it over when he was coming out. The noise would wake me and our room is pretty far away from his. DS was about 18 months when he started sleeping in his bed and he's almost 3 now and no problems anymore. ~Leslie~

OH....and did you fall off your porch in front of anyone? No, my only witness was the cat whose escape out the front door I was trying to prevent when I fell. He just kept going and didn't even ask if I was okay. Alisande,,how long has it been since you have had a tetanus shot? They are good for 10 yrs. I'm pretty sure it's been less than 10 years, but definitely more than five. Five is the deciding number following an injury. My DH knew someone who died of tetanus after somehow getting injured from a cast iron frying pan, of all things. Have you tried any nasal/sinus rinses for your nose? Yes, I use a neti pot. I just realized I've had this same one for 27 years! This is the first year I've been using it with distilled water. Plus you got a tick bite last month, wasn't it? Heavens--how could I have forgotten about the tick bite?? I got another bite after that, earlier this month. This latest one was a nymph, so small I couldn't tell it was a tick until I looked at it under a strong magnifying glass. I'm still dealing with tick issues. Based on symptoms like night sweats, which I have every night, and others, I'm fairly certain I have Babesiosis. Babesia is a parasite that invades the red blood cells. It is not familiar to most of the medical community, but it has invaded the Red Cross blood supply in the northeast, which is a serious concern and indicates how prevalent it is in our area. Tests for it are not only wildly expensive (my doctor ordered them, but I was quoted $3,000) but unreliable as well, so unless another way is found to deal with the problem it is likely to get worse. Babesiosis is related to malaria, and the treatment includes a drug related to quinine. This, too, is wildly expensive ($1,030 for a small bottle), so I'm going to try a Chinese herb the folks at LymeNet recommend as an alternative. Anyway, my immune system was already battling this, or something like it, when the chest cold (?) came along. I was already dragging; now I feel dragged out. :-) One more thing about the ticks: It's increasingly clear that the deer tick situation bears more than a passing resemblance to a plague. Yet we have no vaccines, no cures, not even a consensus on how to treat it. Medical science is really going to have to step up to the plate. They seem to have their heads in the sand, and want the public to stick theirs in too.

Whew! You all make me look really lazy~~~I did not go back to bed and read my book. It is DGD's 4th b-day party and we have no gifts but clothes, kids do not really want to get them at a party I just leave them on her bed~~~so I went to Target to get her some pink CowGirl boots, of course they did not have her size. They can look up and see if other stores have them but can not call them, I had too~~of course they are all gone~~~BUT~~~I grabbed the next size up so I can do a sale exchange if I find some after the sale or I am thinking they may fit can I stuff them with socks?? I really want them for when she comes the first weekend in Nov to stay we are going to DS's house and his wife now has her 2 horses there so this will be her first horse ride so she has to have pink CowGirl boots!! YEAH!! I did find a Minnie Mouse pillow pet at K-mart my DD thought they only had them at DisneyLand saves me a trip there this week! So I am set for the party~~

Jodi I live in the IE~~we go to San Digo off the 15fwy but my DD#1 lives in Laguna Niguel~~~so a visit could be in our near future;) Maybe a meet up at the Spectrum? Where do you hike~~do you go to a place just off of Alicia Pkwy?? My DD lives right up the street from a hiking area not sure of the name??

marygailv--LOL--we could do that--and would if we couldn't make it up to the office. But we generally try to take a 'day off' from working around the house each week, and it's nice to head back to the 'old neighborhood' now and again. And hey--if I cashed it and sent them one, they wouldn't get their cake! Our dentist and his staff are not just medical pro's to us--they're friends. DH went to school with the dentist, and with the receptionist's husband (that's 2 separate people), our hygenist's husband used to be DD's boss for many years... it's like old home week when we visit, whether it's for an appt, or just to drop off the check.

Most of my weeks are very full. Each day last week was full and this week is full too. If I should sleep in until 7:30 that to me would be something unheard of.
This is what is scheduled for me this week.

Sunday spent the day picking Kentucky Wonder green beans.

Monday had a mammogram and lunch out.

Tuesday spent the day grocery shopping and lunch out.

Wednesday will be spent part of the day baby sitting Alyssa and maybe work on the green beans.

Thursday plan on going to the barn sale and working on green beans.

Friday get a perm and work on green beans.

Saturday cook and bake food for birthday dinner for Amber at Cheryl's house.

Sunday dinner at Cheryl and Kevin's house.

I already have 3 days with things scheduled for the next week.

YogaLady, I do hope you contact me the next time you're heading to Laguna Niguel. I mostly hike the many trails along Santiago Canyon near Irvine Park but also hike Bommer Canyon and San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine. I am trying to get down to Aliso Creek to hike but haven't done that yet.

We can meet at my home and then head to The Spectrum or just stay at my place and enjoy some snacks. Just send me an email through my KT profile page.
