Good morning Reed, I have some really good news! Zen, my cat was found by my old neighbors. We picked her up yesterday. I can't believe I have her back. I thought I lost her for good. It was so funny because yesterday I was so sad missing her that I decided to go get another cat. The shelter was closed on Monday so we didn't get a new cat. As soon as we got home the phone rang. Someone in Lakeside had found a black cat with one white spot on her chest. We went to see the cat and it was Zen.
I was so happy. The couple said that they had found her the day we moved and had left food for her. Finally they coaxed her into the house. They took her to a vet and found the chip number and called us. Now Zen is back home. She loves it here, especially because the window sills are big and she loves to sit on the sill and look out the windows. I am glad that I didn't get another cat! One is enough.
Take care. Let me know how things are going with you, Russ and Tom. Is Chico still visiting? I hope you are feeling okay and that Russ has his mummy bandages off. Lots.

Thanks for the nice welcome, Seagator.

Reed, if you want to improve your computer performance and if you are not going to be chatting in the chat room, or attending live events here on Thursdays, you can disconnect from the chat. in the lower right hand corner of the chat room, there is a little round thing that looks like a cog. click on thatt, and you will see it says "connected to chat", you can then turn it off.

hello Reed, I'm ok today, bg was 119 before breakfast. trying to get lots done while I have the energy. Ed is doing good, he's working 9AM to 8PM tonight, so I guess I'm on my own for dinner. I'm going to the store today, I am hoping they'll have some nice fresh artichokes, I'd like to steam some and then have them room temp with some shrimp salad or something. when ed gets home this late at night he doesn't want a meal, I'm afraid this job is making his diet not so good. I really hate not having him here for dinner.

Hi reed> Sorry I missed your birthday. Hope it was a good one. I was in Long Island helping Jen as she recuperates from her appendectomy. Nathan was 4 weeks old today and is so cute. Loving every minute I get to be there. Took my Mom with us so she got to see the baby & Kevin's new place in LI. Tomorrow starts my new job and tomorrow is Joe's first day of unemployment =( We'll see how we do. Hope you are well. <3 <3 Joanne

Yes, Reed, we had the first tornado touchdown in the state yesterday. A bit aways from here though.
Lots of rain this afternoon and I got soaked. Then when I got on the bus, the a/c was on so my teeth were chattering all the way home and I'm just starting to warm up.
Have to go for another INR tomorrow; otherwise no plans for the week. Maybe something interesting will come up.
