I am a grandma!

Wow, almost December.  Where did the time go.  Christmas is upon us again. Haven't been very active.  Between my neighbor next door, who keeps screaming obscenities at all hours of the day and night, and my neighbor upstairs, I think I will be the one to end up in the loony bin.  The one upstairs has convinced himself that, since he wasn't able to stop the construction of the new arena, which is right outside our door, his depression is excusable.  Give me a break.  I was sympathetic for a little while, but after 8 months, I have had it.  Now he has turned into a hypochondriac.  Every couple of days, he heads off to emergency with a new ailment.  No more enabling.  This is the end.  Now he is convinced he has aids because he slept with someone over 20 years ago. Sorry, need to vent.  Nothing I do is ever good enough for him.  He has been a good friend over the years,  but he is not willing to do anythi...

I am so naughty.  Haven't even posted since the summer.  Much colder now.  Last post it was 40 degrees, today it didn't even hit 10.  Sitting here in sweat pants, sweatshirt, socks and slippers.  Brrrrr.  Had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner yesterday.  Alex and Deb are lovely people.  The whole family is.  Damon is a sweetie. Car is fixed and looks good.  Had a lovely week off, but back to work tomorrow.  Will have to keep up on the blogging.  Just not a lot of stuff to talk about these days. Have a great week, my friends. TTFN

I have to be crazy.  It hit 40 c (104 f) today, but I still did my session with the trainer.  Of course, we did it indoors with a fan going.  Managed about 45 minutes.  A good workout.  I think I am losing some weight now, and my arms are getting cut.  Muscles are showing.  So cool. I think only 1 more day of this horrible heat, then we will get back to better temps.  Thank goodness.  I don't have AC at home, only fans.  I am dripping.  Oh well, it is summer.  Nothing else much happening.  Greg moves next week, and I will be helping.  We have 2 holidays coming up on the Monday, so I have two 3-day work weeks.  Love it.  Really love being closed on the Fridays during the summer.  Anyhow, hope you have a great rest of the week, my friends. TTFN

Had to shave Kayla down some more.  Dang, that dog's undercoat is so thick.  I took off about another 1/2 inch of fur.  It will be better for her though.  We will just keep in the shade for a week or so so she doesn't get sunburned.  I found a huge hot spot on her chest, very scabby.  She was not drying from all the rain we have had.  Poor baby. Other than that, not much else happening.  The construction is going to be a pain for a while.  But at least I have Fridays off.  Not doing much this summer.  Gas prices have started to go down a bit.  Not that I use the car much.  $30 for half a tank of gas, I was down to 1/2 a tank.  The first time I put gas in for a couple of months.  :-)  Usually only use it for groceries or bringing Kayla to the canal.  Anyhow, have a great rest of the weekend, my friends.  TTFN.

So cute.  Decided to shave Kayla down myself as I couldn't get an appointment with the groomer.  Took me a bit of time to figure it out, but I did.  I didn't do too badly, I think.  She will be more comfortable now.  The temperatures should start going up soon. Well, this first Friday off is interesting.  They have knocked down the old arena and are starting too build the new one.  How wonderful, pile driving starting at 7 a.m. 20 yards from my window.  I can feel the vibrations coming up through the floor.   Making me a little nauseous.  Funny part was when I was coming back in with the dog.  A car pulls up and a boy jumps out and asks where the pool is.  I point to the pile of rubble.  Then he asks where the tennis court is.  Again I point to the rubble.  Obviously not everyone knows about the new arena which won't be in place until next year.  LOL. Had my session with Evan this morning.  For...

Well, nice Mother's Day.  Spent the day watching movies and reading.  Was supposed to train, but the trainer's mother had a serious setback and he had to be at the hospital with her, so I walked with Kayla and made dinner.  Greg was at the store today so he couldn't come over.  Oh, well.  holidays have always been a problem since he turned 18.  Always for some reason or another.  I know he loves me and I know he will do something later on.  At least he called me this morning.  Just a little lonely today. Enough brooding.  Back to work in the morning.  Hope it picks up this week.  It has been so quiet there, which makes for long days. Hope you all have a lovely week, my friends. TTFN.

I have been so lax about writing these days.  Bad girl.  But I am having so much fun with my FB friends.      I am so grateful for them all.  Wonderful people.  It has been a crazy few weeks with the student strike and everything else going on.  It's been kind of boring, actually. Life has been very uneventful lately.  Not a lot happening so not much to write about.  I hope all my friends are safe and happy.  TTFN.
