I slept very little last night. I woke up at 2:50am and have been up since then. I have a dentist appointment at in 3 hours. I'm thinking I'll get some things done and nap after the appt. How are you, Cami? How's everyone else?

Good morning all ... so many of you seem to have been up a long time. I am still waking up which lately takes a long time. In addition to Arimidex body changes, I am adjusting to a lower dose of Synthroid.

Hi hermits-popping in here from my travel to the Lone Star State. I had a bit of a time getting here with plane issues, weather here (bad storms), etc. but made it to my friends house by 6 p.m. Thursday night. And we have been off and running ever since!
Something fun happened last night. We went to this dinner club called Buttons that had a great jazz band going on and there was a fellow next to us that everyone seemed to know and greeted as a VIP. When he sat down, he was very friendly with us and saw a big ring on his hand with a star that made me think "I wonder if this is a Dallas Cowboys player?" Sure enough as we started talking to him, it turned out to be Rayfield Wright, one of the best offensive players in their history.
He has been retired for many years (and this morning I am reading an article on a story about dementia that has onset for him after many head injuries). Sort of the reason I never have liked football, those men tend to get really hurt by the game.
Anyways, my friend Susie and I chatted with him for awhile and then she said "don't you know who I am?" Then he pulled out his Superbowl and Hall of Fame rings to show us (then there were pictures of me and him and the rings too!) I told him I thought he was someone associated with the Dallas Cowboys. He played in Five Superbowls and was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame 3X. My friends husband who was with us knew exactly who he was when he sat down and said nothing.
It was a fun evening talking to a very nice gentleman.

Jazzy-awesome and continue to have a wonderful weekend.
Hoping many of you got a good nights rest.
Very windy last night and this morning-woke me early this morning
Gong to my Sissys for dinner and taking the gang to their local HS to see Shrek the Musical. Their next door neighbor (a senior this year) is in the musical too. Should be a pleasant evening.
Wishing everyone a wonderful day

Jazzy how exciting to meet him--another highlight in u'r trip. I thought u were going to say well the next morning when we woke up--but then u went into a n article u read--now that was a let down. Keep safe and happy.
Oh I was busy today, I forget people are home scrolling thru the internet looking for people to do work for them, not usually an emergency but just getting things ready for the summer. But I guess it really doesn't matter to me, so what's the difference.
Hey everybody, I am waving.

Hi hermits- back from Texas last night and had a fun time (except for dealing with some gnarly spring storms!) Enjoyed some good eating, shopping, time with friends, visit to the university, and more. Lots of good memories from that time of my life when I had lived there.
I was supposed to go up to Frisco Thursday night to see a friend, but never heard from him to confirm my visit, so I changed my plans to just go to Fort Worth the whole time. There were very bad storms up north of Dallas into Denton that included baseball sized hail and up to four tornadoes.
Check out this photo taken in the area I was supposed to be going last thursday, maybe some divine intervention that my plans to see that friend did not work out?

Blondie- I know you are suffering and keeping you in my prayers for better days. Love you girlfriend.

Jazzy......wow, thank heavens you dodged the bullet...........
My grandson was coming home from St. Louis to Philly International on Thursday night......waiting in the airport they got the news to take cover, that a tornado was touching down at the airport............he said he was never so scared in his life.......first time experience for him.....Here in the Philly suburbs usually we get threats, but most of the time it ends up being nothing but straight line winds which do damage, but nothing like others suffer who get the real deal...............he is right in Tornado Alley, so I guess the will become a way of life for the next 2 years.............

Ducky- I lived in TX from 1983-1986 and lived through three seasons of tornado season. What I had forgotten is how uptight everyone gets when these storms start, because they are so dangerous with the wind, hail, tornadoes, flooding, etc. I hit blinding rain and hail when I got to Fort Worth on my way in Thursday (hail was small), and we went out to dinner a few hours later and watched the lightening all around us that evening. My friends were very nervous that whole time. Just really reminded me of how fearful folks get this time of the year in Tornado Alley.
I heard St Louis and some other areas got tornadoes as part of that same weather system. Glad your grandson is okay, he will have to adjust to living in the alley as well.
Teka- thanks for the welcome back.
I was hoping for nicer warmer weather out there, but just heard it is going to be in the 80s here in NM this week so I guess I just had to come back home for that!
Did the snow finally stop back east?

Jazzy .........in my area, we think it is over.....chilly in the mornings, and seems very rainy now, we will get it today, and then 5 straight days of "sun".............with a possibility of 72 on Sunday...........can't wait.............
I am sure Joey will eventually get used to it, but still scared...........more frightened are we back here who hear about it and panic for him........'his mother was a wreck..........but he did get out of St. Louis safely, and into Philly.............
I was kidding with my daughter......his stay is only suppose to be for 2 years, and then come back to Philly....she said "Mom suppose he decides to stay"............after his experience Thursday with a F1 tornado, I said to my daughter.............Ginny, a couple more of those, or stronger, and I guarantee you he will be coming home in 2 years............she said "I hope so".........LOL

Hey Sandy..........say hello to the shore for me........have not been back yet......scared to see what is down there after the harsh winter we had............its been 7 months...........not a soul has gone down, but then we normally don't until we need to treat the pool.......and with the cold and ice nothing could live in that water......LOL
You have a great time, and relax......hope you feel better.

Blondie- yay for the shore! I know it will do you a world of good.

Day of work re-entry went okay. Gong to do some watering of the gardens tonight and hope to plant some pansies this week!

Ducky, I hope Grayson gets an upsie.
Jazzy, I was happy to hear that you had a safe and fun trip.
I have been lazy lately although I have been forcing myself to walk for 20 minutes a day. Hopefully, I will be back to 30 minute walks before long. If I slogged through the stack of paperwork on my desk, I think I might feel more energetic. Organizing sometimes energizes me. Well, now I have confessed publicly,so maybe I will get moving. Maybe I need to join the decluttering thread.
I am wishing all of you a happy day!
