Thurs. & Fri. Nov. 2 & 3
From a sunny, cool, but comfortable MO,
These two days have been full - or at least so far. I joined the ladies for breakfast on Thursday and we ended up having eight in attendance - Pat, Clara, Jan, Sandy, Ellen, Judy, Marsha Leopard, and yours truly. I wouldn't dare tell you all the conversations, but let it suffice it ranged from "flavored condoms", pole dancing, and more sedate, common place topics (football game on Thurs. night, upcoming art exhibit, Marsha's recovery, etc). Needless to say, I am sure we attracted a few stares with our large bursts of laughter at times. Ellen has finally arrived at the point that she says she will try to learn pole dancing - if I teach her -- of course that would be a total laugh, but we have a lot of fun with the topic. I think Ellen is getting "addicted" to our group as she is getting more and more into the laughing and joking - am not sure she hears much laughing at home. This is the first time Marsha had been with us since her bad car accident so it was great having her there.
Jim and I tried to doze during the middle part of the day on Thursday as we knew we were in for a late night, but the political "cold" calls kept coming in and we finally gave up. I would like to see a grass roots action begin on including political calls in the "No Call" list for future years. I would be willing to vote for almost anyone who would make that a priority on their election! Of course I wouldn't be displeased with non-profit groups also being included. I am so tired of the dirt in this election (and previous elections) that I am glad to live in a small community where this seldom happens with local officials running for office. Of course they usually recognize that they will be seeing their opponents frequently in upcoming days and years so a little more common sense prevails. I guess we don't need to have the "dirt" made public as we are almost always already aware of it!
Jim and I left here about 2:00 for Boonville on Thursday - much earlier than needed, but Jim's Type A personality makes this a routine action. We stopped south of Waverly at a vegetable and fruit stand and he bought some of his beloved apples (Abby shares his love of these) as well as some butternut squash.
I would guess the temperature by game time was in the 40s, but our backs were to the north and there was little or no wind. My feet got somewhat cold, but a long way from freezing cold. The boys ended up winning 35 to 0 - as I sort of remember the score. We were back in Chillicothe a little after 11:00- after a pit stop at Marshall on the way home.
We rousted ourselves from bed about 7:00 and were walking by 7:30 with the girls pulling us around our walking trail. When we returned, I quickly was back in bed (along with the girls) and didn't begin moving until Jim called me a little after 10:30 to see if I was upright yet. He had joined the second group for breakfast and then had done a couple of errands.
I quickly showered and headed to the doctor's office for my quick check-up - weight loss (nil this month -- too much sodium in recent days as my home scales showed a little loss from last month), blood pressure check (124/80), pulse (forgot to ask), etc. I am going to try taking Singulair (spelling??) for a month to see if I can see some relief in about 3 weeks.
Jim and John are fishing at Dr. Eden's "pond" and will be home later. I am joining Helen and others for dessert at 4:00. Jim and I then have chili supper tickets at the United Methodist Church this evening - so no cooking today.
I have scanned the football tv listing for Saturday and I want to see the MU game and I know we will also watch USC.
Be safe.
