2008

For the past two days I have not made much effort in walking or limiting what I eat. Generally speaking, I am not one for New Year resolutions because I am not into setting myself up to fail. However, ignoring the fact that tomorrow is the first day of the new year, I AM going…

On Saturday I got a brochure from Fairpoint telling me that they are taking over from Verizon {which I knew} and that I will have to change my email address by the end of January {which I had hoped wouldn't happen!} Well, it will be mildly annoying more than difficult. On the subject of annoying,...

Yesterday we had a really nice visit from some of Fred's relatives and today it was some of mine! Yesterday, one of Fred's daughters, her husband E, their son, and son's girlfriend stopped on their trip to visit E's parents to spend an hour or two with us. E's parents live in Vermont and so…

At this point I am thinking I will cancel my massage on Sunday. We have had a LOT of snow today and more is forecast  for tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. I will call Beth tomorrow and cancel. Fred said she will probably call me and cancel! Anyway, I have done quite a lot today. Three…

Last night, Fred got an email from Amazon with a gift certificate that came from my older son and my daughter-in-law! I mean the certificate had my name on it but it came to Fred's email! I wrote them a thank-you email and asked them{ well, her really} why it came to Fred. Apparently she…

I got up at 3 am, read for a couple of hours, made some toast and went back to bed I got up again at about 10 am and now I am wondering where the day went since it is 1:15! A few minutes ago, I started out on a walk to the drug store.…

Today was our book club meeting and I was very anxious about it for several reasons. First, it was my choice  of subject and so I had to be there to run it. Secondly, we had four inches of snow on Thursday and until the drive was cleared, there was no way I could make…

What I am thankful for:  {one of my favorites did this today which reminded me that I hadn't done it for a long time. Fred is walking around the house without needing to use  his walker. My IMac. The more I use it, the more I appreciate it. This morning, I am putting more music…

I looked out on the deck this morning and the landlord had cleared most of the snow off so if we need to, we can get out. Last year, I put off clearing the snow off the cars until there was a couple feet of snow on the top of them. It was in layers,…
