Hi,

I have noticed the nights have started getting darker earlier.
And I think that the summer rains have let up.


A few hours ago my cold stopped being noisy.
My head has started to clear too.
My face will still look raw tomorrow.


My friend is performing with the American Legion band on Saturday night. I told her I would go.

The city for the 2016 Olympics will be announced tomorrow.
I wonder if Chicago will win.

How is everyone else?

I hope Chicago wins the Olympic bid... that would be way cool.

My weekend is filled with NOTHING.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Looks like Rio won the bid.....

I hope Chicago trys again... maybe in 2020 or 2024.

no plans, nor plans to make plans for this weekend.

i didn't manage to finish up my application much less submit it by my self-imposed deadline of today (it is now past end of business day). i would like to get on that but also feel ok not rushing it now, because i realize, while, i said i could get myself together for just an interview, i am not so sure now. i might not come off as very on top of things.

my mother might ask me to go out to help with groceries tomorrow. argh. well i do not want to go anywhere tomorrow. i have been drowned in birthday things and i want to think about and do other stuff than worry about FOOD, participation etc. i just want to stay home and do what i can do - if that just be SLEEP like today, FINE.

sleep heals.

a friend of mine tried to encourage me to get outside and sing in the park he gets how hard just getting out is for me, much less singing there. it's a flat, open park - no sheltered niche under some shady tree in some discreet corner - no discreet anyplace!

plus ironically, if i did that, my parents would erroneously assume i was "all better."

so those are my UNplans.

i hope the rest of you have more fun weekends. the band thing sounds like it might be fun, Mari.

I wish you a speedy recovery thru all of thius sickness, maybe the test willk prove something for you.
need to work in my yard
I am eating 3 talapia filets (pan sauted in olive oil and used cajun spices) ...or they would have gone bad....am a clean your plate kind of gal so ......I am so full!

[Abbie]

Just went to KFC... yummy grilled chicken!

Heading to Dairy Queen in a little while....

All of this is my mom and dad's treat....

I feel kinda better emotionally but ticked I had to spend $150 bucks on two tires today. Just sucks they are SO expensive. Found out today Mom is probably losing her health insurance because they need the money to pay off the House insurnace and if they can't pay that they will most likely LOSE their home. I just hate the downturn of this god awful economy. So that's where I'm at.

Dear Donna

I am sorry you are feeling so poorly again. I do hope you feel better sooner than later, and that the test monday reveals something that can be quickly corrected.

Dear Beth and Abbie,

You guys are funny. Enough to make a gal want a wee-hours snack even though i just had blueberry-filled sachertorte with a mug of milk!!!

Dear Pam

I hear you about the economy. It is hitting so many levels it makes me wanna cry. I hope you and mom can figure something out for her to save her health insurance (AND obviously her house). I don't know what to suggest, or i would, but many people here savvier than I on these things...

ideas anyone?

I only have plans to stay inside tomorrow with being contagious with pink eye. I should be able to visit neighbors on Sunday. The doctor told me I can go around people after being on the anti-biotic for 2 full days.
