Man...the weather has been so unpredictable here! Yesterday, we had rain, wind, fog and around 55F...snow pretty much gone. Today...a whole different story...20F...cold and blowing dry snow. I keep hoping for a snow day!!
Here's a good one!! I discovered indirectly that come retirement...there is no dental insurance!! So will have to look for private coverage...another premium to pay!
What the heck is THAT all about?!! Geez...if there was ever a time when you DO need coverage, it's THEN, when your income is lesser. Sigh!!
My report cards are done and were handed in over a week before due date.
I feel....FREE!! Almost euphoric!!
I just hope than there wont be any changes to be made after they get proofread. Soon enough will be parent teacher interviews...and at end of February, prepping for the French club at school. Yesterday I was on the computer after I came back from co-teaching a RCIC class at church (Right of Christian Initiation for Children)...almost to midnight, here at Tu., for a bit...then looking for teaching material related to Groundhog Day....in French! Found some!! Gotta love the internet!! Gotta love my printer! I print one copy....and use it as my master to print the rest at school. There's a lice infestation at school....I'm keeping my distance from any kid scratching their heads. I went to pick Mason up early from school (I was working only till 2pm today). Mason wasn't feeling well...poor little peanut, burning up with fever and feeling SO miserable! So he's not going to school tomorrow, that's for sure! We're getting Stephen for the weekend. He's 2 1/2 now!! He's a little sweetie! Looking forward to it. Should be having Riley over soon, to keep everything fair. Well...tomorrow Friday!! I've been able to get a lot done at school, as all the grades 3, 4 and 5 are away for their 3 day Winter camp. Got lessons planned ahead, copies made, sorted out material and cleaned up supplies in my classroom!! In all my 11 years at the school, I have NEVER EVER found myself short of things to do!! Which is the way I like it....hate standing around!
So....have a great day tomorrow. A brand new (and short) month! I'm praying for a snow day at this end for tomorrow ;)
luv and baskets of hugs....linda

Good Morning,Marie. I am too old for this world. IT WAS TIME FOR us to renew our Homeowners Insurance policy. Due to Florida being a hurricane state it went up $831. Then they sent me all these documents by email and to sign electronically. I was clicking here clicking there making copies. I guess a paperless society. I hope I did it right. Strange they are telling us we are going to break the record for heat the next 2 days. I had a good night. BG102 or was it 106. Hope you had a good night and good Readings. Was this a Guild day. I hope the roads were clear. TOPS tomorrow another Speaker I hope he shows. Russ went to blood draw he did not fast he should have but the fasting box was not checked so they did all the tests but one. How is Ed today? Give him my best. A BIG HUG. Reed

Good Morning,Marie, Yesterday I felt so blah. In the afternoon my stomach acted up. I said Oh No I hope I am not get that stomach thing that is going around. I finally took a Zantac and it quieted it down. Russ and I slept until after 8. He is doing much better. My BG 106. Did you have a good night? Your Readings good? Hope so. My friend Tricia is a new Grandmother.She is thrilled. How is your weather? Still cold? Snow? Bright and sunny here. I am trying to get rid of being TOPS leader. I have done it 6 years but I am not having much luck. How is Ed? Give him my best. Jan 31 soon here. Is your Mother's place all cleaned out or do you have to make another trip? You know who I was thinking of? Daniel he did such good work. I need to find him. Take care and have a good day.

A BIG HUG REED

Hello Marie. I had a terrible night. I just could not sleep. I was doing Welcomes at 3AM. No one4's fault. It was just one of those things. I cannot seem to get my act together. Lost interest in things. I need to shake that off. BG 108. Just finished grocery shopping. We drove to Hammock. A nice ride along the ocean. Tom ran a 5K this morning. I did not go watch but Russ did. Tome and Russ out weeding. How is your weather? Cold? Is the lake frozeb over? It is 73 here. I hope you are doing OK and your Readings are good. Give my best to Ed. I have not felt like this in a long time. I better snap out of it. Take care. A big hug. Reed

Hello Marie. What a day. Got Tom off to the Gym then to work. I am Russ's Health Advocate. When he went to surgeon they charged him $100 deductible and $5 CopPay. He paid. But his health plan does not have deductibles. So I finally got the surgeon's office to understand and they will return the $100.

Next,Homeowners Insurance renewal. I did not like the company I was with. Poor claims payment. So I am looking for new insurance. You pay through the nose because of hurricanes.

Then the foot doctor.

It is 76 degrees here gorgeous day,
\BG 108. How were your readings? I hope good.

I know it is difficult try not to get depressed.

My knees not too good today. I think it is the early morning dampness.

Take good care, I am pooped. A BIG HUG,Reed

Good Morning,Marie. Did you keep toasty warm through the night? I hope so. Everyone stressing MN. It must be brutal. If Kathy has to go out I hope she dresses warmly. Did you get much snow?We both are feeling and sleeping much better. My BG 102, How were your Readings? Not going to do much today. I need to get eye drops. I am going to make New England corn chowder..it is one dish that is better the second day.Not much else to report. Glad you had a good day at the Guild. Give my very best to Ed. Tom comes tonight. Take good care.I care. HUGS,Reed

Thank you, Marie B. You kind words made me feel guilty for compliments I do not deserve, so I have updated my profile with my history of failure to take my type 2 seriously. I now believe the Joslin mantra of comprehensive education about Diabetes is what is needed both in the UK GP medical profession and patients alike. If I had only known in the 1980s what I know now...

Marie, I used to order glasses from discount places online, just to have an extra pair and they weren't bad. Of course it was hit or miss re how the frames looked. If I end the other components of the pair I can probably reassemble them because I have all kinds of little tools from when I made jewelry. Seems like we are trading weather. Stay warm.

Hood Morning,Marie. A little nippy this morning. 40 degrees. Chico at the door wanting to come in. They say a freeze tonight so we will have to cover the plants. MN is really cold. Kathy all bubdled up. Glad you go to the Guild safe and sound. TOPS this morning. I just do the business part and another member does the Program. We both slept well...no coughing so I think we are over whatever it was we had. That darn b is where n should be.BG 106. How was your night and yoyr Readings. Is your pellet stove working good? Give my best to Ed. Take good care. A BIG HUG,Reed
