I think I may wait until Sunday to tell her. She will be annoyed with me. but if I tell her when she gets her, she is just going to be worrying and asking me questions that I do not know the answer to.

Youngest daughter has finally started dating again after her divorce. She accepted on online date, I think they went out twice but this is different. It may cause some drama in the family. My husband, although he won't admit it is a bit of a racist, and a staunch Republican. Note o say, I do not want any debates about all this. Anyway, this guy is African American and a Democrat. The way I feel about it is we have one of two choices, not accept him and risk alienating our daughter or just accept the situation. As long as he treats her fine it is OK with me. They met in high school, were an item then, although that was the time in our lives she didn't communicate with us. Saw each other while out a couple of weeks ago and decided to make a go of it again.She has a rescue dog that doesn't like men at all unless they are a constant in her life and the dog loves him.

The dog loving him would be enough for me!!!

MRI on my knee today. Xray showed a little arthritis but not enough to warrant the crackling, clicking, thumping, swelling, heat, and occasion pain. All I know is that it is hyperextended.

Boyfriend started Chantix Monday, for the second time. Fingers are crossed it works this time!

Critters and foliage here in Iowa are confused by the weather. My almost-dead petunia weakly bloomed, as did a wild orchid. My dog's coat doesn't know whether to fill in for the winter of shed, so it's doing both. Has been quite warm; expecting our 2nd overnight freeze warning in the next morning or so. That's 2nd for the season! Unusual.
