doing well! do you have to pay for your own computer? is reluctance due to thought of setting up new one?
fated not to dance this week. should have gone to second class today but painful foot [probably made a bad move yesterday playing table tennis] and didn't want to risk making it worse.

meetings ok. (except for early start). beginning new project. stretched my brain. it was tired after the meeting. then looked at two used laptops as candidates to replace mine. reluctant.
always worth it.
walked both ways. $
i'm tired and hoping we will be snowed in tomorrow. seems i haven't had a day home in too long.

sorry. so disappointing and aggravating, but aggravation doesn't help. walked one way and danced. 104$. early meeting tomorrow, followed by two more. not looking forward to them.

messy evening and no dollar. went to dancing class - teacher, person in charge of music and three members [inc. me]. we decided to wait 30m to see if others would arrive [some had already cancelled], debated on whether to dance - didn't, waste of time. maybe too hot for others.

i'm glad everything went well and you enjoyed yourself. our heat is back again so the thought of snow is very appealing. one of very few pluses is I hung a load of washing out after 5 p.m. and it will be dry before the cat and i watch the 7p.m. news.
walked yesterday and gym today $62. find it's harder to make myself exercise when it's very hot.

thanks X2, paolina.
on way there, bus driver said they might not come back because of storm. i arranged aide to stay a third day. she's really nice but not available during the week. she and parents are tolerating each other. so birthday party moved from sat to friday because of storm. we ended up getting a ride back with a neighbor tonight, so here i am. roads were actually completely cleared. full of salt and sugar and tired. one fruit and one salad per day! but it was nice to be with the family. haven't been able to go for close to a year. now i hope to try again in a few months.
glad it's cooler and you had successful visit with neighbor.

had a session of early mornings earlier this week and last - next three days not necessary before 8 but usually up by 7.
guy at gym horribly incapacitated, twitching violently, couldn't hold body up. personal trainer had to lift him, place him on machine and hold him. admire his courage.
treadmill, bike - but only 5min., still makes legs ache, weights and stretches.

very difficult.
tested, under medical supervision, doctor and nurses on call [he and she have beepers], driving licence taken away, have practical help. only thing i can do for now is visit, which they both seem to like.
hot and humid but must exercise later if ladybird is to get away from unfriendly "lady" turtle.
hope you feel ok now.

glad cat behaving. you like it.
yes. sad. am trying to help him out, but powerless to do what he'd like.
they MUST both get help. no, you can't do it. does he have a male friend or would she suspect that, too?
also sad.
sorry so hat. glad enjoyed dance. didn't sleeep well either. suspect indigestion. not bad pain, but kept me up.
ladybird ought to get away from unfriendly turtle. i always thought turtle was a "she".
going home.

only one bad episode with cat in months.
no matter how long someone has been ill it's always a shock when they die.
very worried about local friends. she keeps forgetting who people are and quickly changes from loving to aggressive, especially with husband [so far ok with me]. saw him walking round at weekend - she'd said she hated him and told him to clear out. didn't dare invite him in 'cos she gets suspicious that people are plotting against her. he's much older, never fully recovered from foot op and still has to use stick. feeling desperate. knows he can call on me but can't really help.
it's cruel the way people and those who care about them suffer.
hot nights so not sleeping well. danced today - hot and sticky but enjoyable.
ladybird says most unfriendly. if that's how he feels ...
no good news but we still keep trying, which must be good.

it's behaving and keeping me busy. still not quite caught up. doubt this machine will ever behave well. speaking of which, how's your cat doing?
i think i told you about nice young man at work with father who has cancer. he says he's not expected to make it through the week. i'm sad. i told him to take care of himself. young man is not too well (not scary) either.
may we share good news.

glad you're back and hope you enjoy dancing.
unfortunately, that type of mistake is not unusual.
extremely busy week and computer temperamental but gym Sunday, dancing Monday, table tennis today $57. still very hot and aching feet. could soak them before bed if i have time.

nurse in ER messed up. we were back friday night. he's ok now. i did not miss computer. slept and read.
in a lifestyle, one biscuit is allowed. you are right to be proud of those you resisted.
i ate too much (didn't even have to track it!) but at least it was real food.
i'm at work waiting to go dance, gotta eat.

sorry about dad and you for losing sleep.
depending on when you read this, i hope you have [had] a good weekend and take [took] advantage of being without computer, even if it may mean more pressure later.
so do i. gave in and ate cream biscuit today but, after a week of being offered biscuits, cake, etc., think i was good to limit it to one.

public holiday but table tennis $53.
never checked for ADD but i've definitely got a grasshopper mind. don't search for diets [don't like tracking food] but exercise tapes [too many of which are not recorded in a format compatible with australian players], meditation, yoga, etc.

try at home but often forget. difficult if you've got a queue of people to deal with.
only financial incentive we're ever likely to get but it's a good motivator.

good. may have frustrations but boring would make any assignment hard.
walked $60. hot, humid and got bitten but glow of virtue as well as perspiration. easily exceeding eight glasses at the moment.

wise to listen.
meeting went well. this work will have frustrations, but certainly won't be boring. may be a little too challenging.

disappointing!
had a spell of taking wrap with hard-boiled egg whites and salad for lunch when i was out. not bad.
deliberately had a day of no exercise. my body was telling me to take a break and i've ignored it too often in the past and paid the price. will be back on track tomorrow.
hope the first day of the new assignment goes well!

god boot-n-scoot. enjoy the dance class.
i also don't get enough protein.
jillian's program is relatively good. some exercises too hard for me. not enough exercise time for me. some menus too many calories (certainly won't allow for my milk and raisin fix--i wanted to ask nutritionist (please see below) for an alternative.). according to my tracker, she underestimates the calories, too. she uses egg whites for protein. pretty wholesome program.
minor frustration today. new health food store opened. featured a different nutritioniston hand every day this week. today i was free and they had a guy i wanted to talk to, so i went. he left early. i looked around, and though they had many shelves of snacks, none were healthful in my opinion. after looking at all the food, i ended up hungry and bought a brownie in another store. at least i got a 2 mile walk out of it. along with a circuit dvd, i earned my $.

good and semi-good. boot n scoot $59, other dancing group starts again next week.
what did you think of jillian's program?
tried it - tasted horrible - because i rarely seem to meet the recommended target for protein. trying to get more through food but limited success.

he must appreciate your abilities so hope he keeps his word. do you commit yourself for assignment regardless of time or is there always a deadline?
sorry about missed bus but perhaps, if you are sneezing, it is better for them and you that you didn't go. look after yourself!

glad you had a relaxing afternoon.
it was a former neighbor that i visited because she was homebound. she's been in an out-of-state facility for many months, so i haven't seen her in a while. she's been sick so long and suffered so much!! very, very nice person,though not really my type. her family seems ok.
husband of other (even younger) person in this category (who passed away a few months ago) is engaged to be married. we are glad for him because he was sooo loyal to her.
need to find someone else to visit. i do still go to an assisted living facility about once a week. i could add a local nursing home, but i do not want it to become a commitment.
colleague is still interested in having me work with him again. he says i won't be pressured. i don't believe him, but i'm proceeding. probably have 2 weeks to get my act together.
got up to take the bus. got there just as it pulled away. sneezing. disappointed son and grandson. i tried.
