Wonderland, a steaming hot Monticello does ring a bell (we were there on a day one July when the heat index was 124!!!
)We have a cold front coming in too, Karen. Some snow flurries and frost warnings Friday & Saturday night. We are invited to a graduation party in a park on Saturday & the high will be 46......not exactly the weather the family was hoping for!
If you a a Downton Abby fan, be sure to see the new movie. It is excellent!

Went this morning for our 2nd booster. We both had Pzifer for the first 3, but switched to Moderna based on DH's retired PCP. Hoping for no side effects. I didn't have any besides sore arm, but DH got sick with each one and each one was worse.
Cold and damp - its been raining all morning and turning to snow this afternoon. Brought my plants in last night. They keep increasing expected snow totals. High schools are scrambling to figure out alternative places for graduation. I won't complain about the weather as we really need the moisture and I rather have this than 90s in May!! The only thing I miss is walking when it rains. Now snow, that's doable to walk - just bundle up!! I don't put away summer or winter clothes as they are all in the same closed - same with shoes - as in summer I live in my Chaco sandals.
Need to get busy cooking, baking and cleaning. Have a great Friday

Hope you had no reaction to your booster, Karen. How much snow did you end up getting? We have 3 days of freeze warnings & predicted flurries. We are headed for South Dakota for a graduation party in a PARK......it will be cloudy & about 47 degrees, so that does not sound like very much fun. One of DH's grandnieces is the graduate. We may not hang around as long as we had planned.
Yesterday I did a pilates DVD & danced around to Marshall Fitness on utube. Today l will do an ab DVD & some sort of cardio before we leave.

Sarahmaude: Sounds like you are improving nicely from your neutropenia. Hope the pain around your kidneys has resolved. I became neutropenic after my 4th AC treatment and was in the hospital for 3 days. Received fluids and blood transfusions plus given an extra week off before moving on to Taxol. Like my friend told me: if you get sick during chemo the doctors patch you up and send you right back in. She was right!
TT: Sorry you have covid and that you have reinjured your knee! All right here at your busy graduation time. Hope covid has been easy on you.
Ruth: TICKS! I hate ticks. Please continue to check yourself and Bruno daily. Monticello was hot but it was not as hot as when we went.
Karen: 84 degrees to snow the next day. Good grief!
beginagain: Keep up the good work!
Claire: What a mess with the broken table top!
Got home from our vacation yesterday. In 2019 I was the highest bidder on a silent auction trip to Skytop Lodge in the Poconos in PA. 2 nights and meals included. Had planned to go in 2020 but that didn't happen. Finally got to go last week. Had a blast! Went to Gettysburg for 2 nights on the way to Skytop. Stopped at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg PA. Skytop Lodge is amazing! Lots of hiking (and eating). Stopped in Charlottesville for 1 night and visited Monticello. Lots of driving but so worth it.
I won the silent auction trip though an organization called Casting for Recovery. They provide free weekend retreats for women who have or have had breast cancer. Participants learn fly fishing but it's so much more than just fly fishing. I attending the NC retreat in 2010 and had a nice, relaxing time. Even caught a trout! I've never fly fished before and I haven't since the retreat but I experienced at the retreat will always stay with me. Here's the link to the organization: https://castingforrecovery.org/

Ruth - no accumulation on the roads but on the grass. Lots of downed tree branches. We lost a small one in front and a larger one in bak - fortunately that one didn't take the power line with it. I think I can put my plants back out.
Sore arm and achy this morning that went away with 2 acetaminophen. DH had a reaction as with the 3 Pfizer. Sore arm and feeling lousy all day. He did feel okay for a walk late this afternoon, but that wiped him out.
Wonder - sounds like a nice trip. I've heard of casting for recovery. I wouldn't fish, so never thought to apply. It is a great organization. I won't buy trout with the head on it
Two walks today - the one with DH and one in the later morning and read the rest of the day. 200 on a 300 page book. Hope to finish it tomorrow - but I also have some report writing to do.
Sweet dreams

Karen: sounds like your dh recovered fairly quickly from his second booster. Luckily I only had a slight sore arm.
Walked/ran this evening. Also did some yard work.
Here are a few pictures from our trip.
Watch out for the Yankee sniper in the tree!
Gettysburg statue of Rebels getting ready to participate in Pickett's Charge.
The Skytop Lodge. It's huge! There also cabins and a lakeside lodge. Reminded me of The Overlook in The Shining by Stephen King.

I would have loved that vacation, Wonderland. When I was at Gettysburg, I don't think our guide liked me very much because I kept wandering off! Did you get to see Eisenhower's farm which was right down the road?
Yesterday I went to Barre Sculpt & Yoga, Today I will go to Pound. At some point I need to pack because Wednesday morning I fly off to NC for my nephew's wedding.

Hi All,
3 miles walking this morning. Lifted butts and guts. Hysterectomy and BSO on Wednesday so just one more workout for a little bit. Ttyl0 -
Good Luck, Wednesday, beginagain!
I never did get to Pound because at class time I was sitting outside with my neighbor visiting while our dogs played. When I come back from the wedding, they will have already moved away.

I'm on vacation mode so my exercise will be running through airports & helping my sister do errands, set up etc. etc. The wedding is in her backyard, so lots of work! I'll check in on occasion. Have a great week!

Ruth: Eisenhower's farm doesn't open up until this weekend. We just missed it. I know you and Bruno willl miss your neighbors. Safe travels! Lots of rain the last few days but Saturday should be fine.
beginagain: May your surgery be successful with a quick recuperation time for you.
Ran errands today and no formal exercise. Yesterday I found out I need to have one of my wisdom teeth extracted. Ugh. It' not until next month.
I'm numb about the school shooting in TX. Disgusted, sad. Very sad.

Good Wednesday morning. The final stretch for the school year with be harder with yesterday's horrific school shooting. Kiddos and adults will all be hurting. I plan to take one of my last two comp days tomorrow, but I'll probably do some much needed paperwork.
Want to see Top Gun this week-end.

During the evening national news tonight, the tragedy in Texas hit me hard - started crying when they were interviewing a little girl who was a witness. It's the first time in a while that I thought it could happen to me - I've been in the schools for over 30 years and I know that schools are for the most part are safe but tonight I felt vulnerable. I have my float team meeting at 9:00, then I'm taking the rest of the day as a comp day - but I'll end up. writing reports. Then I'm taking my last day off next Thursday - and all my paperwork will be done - a lot of it on my own time!!!
Everyone stay safe.

It is a tragic world when even this sort of thing does not move those in charge to ACTION.
I made it safely to NC. We have already had a plot twist in the Wedding Weekend. While I was in the air, my BIL was in surgery having an emergency appendectomy! They were able to remove it laproscopically, and he should be released today. Yikes. In a few minutes my sister and I will start with the list of errands she had planned for yesterday and go from there. Hopefully there will be no more bumps in the road before Saturday!

Good grief Ruth! Hope he is feeling better. I was convinced I was having appendix problem one time. Went to the hospital thinking I would be having surgery. Turned out I had a kidney stone. Pain was in the front not back like kidney pain usually is.
No formal exercise today. Dh and I were in charge of a Red Cross blood drive. Was a little disappointed with the turn out. We had 23 appointments booked out of 25 time slots, which is pretty good. But we had 3 deferred for low hemaglobin and 7 no shows. It's the no shows that are disappointing.

Ruth - hope your BIL feels well enough to enjoy the wedding
Wonder - when my oldest DD was almost 17, we took her to the ER because she was getting dehydrated and had severe abdominal pain. We spent several hours there on a Saturday evening/night and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. They sent her home and said to come back the next day if she wasn't better. They were thinking it was appendicitis and about to operate when they decided to do a barium test and it turned out it was a ruptured ovarian cyst. Thank goodness for the test or they would have opened her up for no reason. I had to force her to drink the barium - it was horrible.
One more week - I took most of today off, but did right a report early this morning then did some other paperwork in the afternoon. I will do more tomorrow and throughout the week-end to get it all done.
Today at one of the high schools in my large urban district was on a lock down, then the kids were evacuated. Two **** kids brought a paint ball gun to school. I had turned on the noon news and it was the top story. The email we received as staff said nothing!!! So traumatic. The world is upside down.
Have a great Friday

Karen: Good grief! Glad your daughter was given one more test before having unnecessary surgery. And you're right, the world is upside down.
After days of rain and scary storms, the sun has come out. Walked/ran this afternoon.
Ruth is an hour away from where I live and we are having lunch together on Monday. So excited!

Hello All! We have been working non-stop for the last two days. My takeaway is that you should never agree to host a wedding in your backyard! Yikes, too much work!! BIL has been doing much more than someone who is just out of the hospital should be doing, so I think he will crash after the wedding tomorrow.
I am excited to see Wonderland on Monday!!

Just got caught up on 4 pages of posts. Seems like the site is moving faster again. Busy couple of weeks for me at school as we were awaiting our big accreditation visit from NAEYC. The assessor came on Monday and we won’t know results for 3 months.
Ruth- we hosted a very small backyard wedding in August 2020 and it was a lot of work just getting the yard ready but it turned out lovely. They were lucky to have your help. Maybe it will be easier that you aren’t home when your neighbor drives away. Hugs.
Karen- I cannot imagine what those poor kids, families and staff are going through! The feeling at school is so heavy. Everyone is on high alert and feeling very vulnerable. This madness needs to end. Good luck getting your last things done.
TT- I hope your leg is doing better.
SaraMaude- Hope you’re feeling stronger.
Claire- what a busy life you have these days; enjoy!
I requested a breast MRI since I got my implants almost 11 years ago. I haven't been feeling great this year (even before getting covid) and have been reading about BII(breast implant illness) so wanted to be sure they weren't leaking or anything. The results showed that they are intact and looking good. However, the images picked up something else: “a structure at least 4 cm in length likely involving the spleen”. No idea what that could be. Had a cat scan on Thursday and am anxiously waiting for results. Fingers crossed.

ginger48- praying your results ate manageable. I heard Sarah maude say she was on this thread. As a California girl, outside is a great place to walk. So 10 000 steps or more a day. Cleaning up my back patio garden, cleaning one area at a time of un needed items. Also, baking good and tasty snacks. Also, a pot roast. At 61, I have never made one. I have not eaten much meat until my blood numbers dropped in November. I am trying different cuts. I have a degree in Hotel & Restaurant mgmt and I had taken a class called Meat Utilization IN 1984. Today, I am trying many of those cuts.

Welcome, k-gobby!
Ginger, let us know what you find out.
It was a beautiful day for a wedding. My fitbit said I got 14, 000 steps, so you know I was on my feet all day. We got most of the cleanup done afterwards & I am hoping tomorrow will be at least somewhat relaxing!

Ginger - I talked to my PS office a few months ago and they don't do MRIs unless you are having a problem. I stopped going a year after these implants - they are almost 14 years old. I'm thinking of getting a tattoo on my foobs and if I do, I need a letter from PS saying all is okay and granting "permission".
Two good walking days yesterday and today - Both days over 20K steps.
DH and I are going to see the new Top Gun movie tomorrow evening. I don't remember the last time we were in a movie theater - definitely before 2020 - I can't believe the price of movie tickets!!!
Ruth and Wonder - have fun getting together. It is always nice to meet BCO friends in person.
Have a great Sunday

MRIs are funny in the varied access/use from either the side of insurance or the PS.
After my first "botched" implant...too big and textured even though I didn't consent to that!...I had an MRI at 1 year and the decision was it had to go, already showing signs of BII, yikes.
Switched PS, got the correct size and smooth...had MRI at 3 years (all okay) and now am on an every two year cycle for MRI...all paid for my by BCBS insurance with minimal co-pay.
All that said, when I busted my knee April 3, I was told it would be a min of 2 months of PT before they would even consider an MRI given the long wait list to get access...go figure!
Finally testing negative again for Covid despite a lingering cough and runny nose...
Glad the wedding was a great success and have fun visiting tomorrow. TT

We tore down this morning, all the other guests are gone, and my sister & BIL are passed out on the couch......

Top Gun:Maverick was fantastic! Going to watch the original tonight on Netflex.
Spent a couple or three hours on IEPs, reports and other paperwork for work and beginning to feel a sense of being caught up. I need to do my medicaid billing (which really should be done weekly) and write the report for the legal case - hope to finish it by Thursday which means I'll do some work tomorrow and Wednesday nights.
Three more days! Wednesday after work the central team are meeting for a VIP meeting for beverages. I'll have seltzer or ice tea. I don't like driving even with just one small beer.
Ruth - the wedding pictures were beautiful. How was your get together with Wonder?
Sweet dreams.

The wedding was lovely......and also a LOT of work. I was glad to have a couple of days to relax there once it was over.
Alice & I had a great time! My sister & BIL took us for a ride around the lake on their pontoon. We docked at a restaurant & ate on a covered patio with musicians playing fun, summery music in the background.
I made it home with no travel delays, which is something of a miracle. I've been washing clothes, picking weeds, sorting mail etc. since I got home and will go to bed early. I had to be at the airport at 4:30 am so had a very short night. I will get back into my regular exercise schedule tomorrow.

Walked with the Wednesday Women this morning, bought & planted flowers the rest of the day.

Ginger: Have you heard results from your scan? Been thinking about you and hope all is well.
Welcome k--gobby! Meat Utilization sounds like an interesting class.
Karen: Hope you had a good time at your VIP meeting today.
TT: What a time you had with your first implant! I'm sure you were glad to have it replaced with the correct size and smoothness.
I had the BEST time with Ruth, her sister, and bil! They make me feel right at home. The boat ride and lunch was very relaxing on a hot day. So happy to see Ruth in person again!
Walked early this morning before the day started to heat up. It was 73 degrees when I walked. If I had waited and walked when I usually do I would have been walking in 92 degrees. I've got to get acclimated for the heat!

Last day!!! This has been a looooong school year. I'm so ready to be done. Finished all my paper work for the year yesterday. Just have to finish reports for the legal case. What I don't finish today will get done next week and comp time for next year. Shouldn't me more than a day unless attorney makes a lot of edits. Going to the school I've been covering (normally not there on Thursday) to see 5th grade continuation and will hang out there and write my report. It will be nice to be there for the last day. The gal I'm covering for is coming with her two kiddos so it will be nice to see her. After school my team go together and it was so nice to see everyone and not talk work!

Sounds like I got out of there just in time, Wonderland. It was a beautiful sunny, 69 degrees here. Very refreshing!
Karen, congratulations on making it to the end of another school year. Let the Summer Fun begin!
I ran around doing a bunch of 'stuff' today & went to Dance2fit. I'm trying to get organized to be gone again. My 86 year old uncle died few days ago and we are going to make a quick trip over to Wisconsin for his funeral on Sunday. He was such a fun, vibrant, 'alive' person that it his death will leave a real void in our family.
