What a day!!
I had gotten up and was almost ready to go for my massage, when I picked up my phone. There was a message--from Leah. At 0431. She was ill and needed to cancel. Ugh. Hurry and get well, Leah.
Now the first half of the day was open. I needed a quiet day at home, to catch up on things around here, trying to make a decent environment for myself. Vacuuming, moving things around, put the tree up. I was able to go for a run, too, and enjoyed a nice shower.
Didn't get to the store, nor did I get the sloppy joe stuff prepared for the Singing Party on Wednesday night, at the Windham Hills Clubhouse, 4020 County Farm Road, Jackson. Near the Airport Road Meijer. 5:30-9pm, Potluck. Family oriented.
Food gathering and prep will have to be tomorrow and Wednesday, after a meeting and however many interviews we will be doing tomorrow.
I noticed my left forearm is sore again. What?? I really hurt this afternoon--like where the "cording" was a couple years ago. I took the time to do a lymph treatment; it was really sore, like a bruise on the inside. The soreness is not along the whole arm this evening, but is still there. Interesting.
Stay warm, and Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Another busy day, with great co-workers. Can't thank DM enough for being willing to work "out of her comfort zone"; I would have been in the "crazy zone" if she hadn't been there....
And now I'm home.
Had a bath (!) which felt pretty good. Discovered that the stopper for the tub doesn't stop very well. Ended up being a not-very-long bath. Which was ok, because I would have fallen asleep in there.
Tomorrow is finally massage day. I've been watching for it on the calendar for a couple weeks. I may need to shorten the interval between treatments. *smile*

Worked, busy. The last two hours blew up.
And I'll say again--I have the best co-workers/team mates.
Really tired tonight.
Stopped for a few groceries, did a load of laundry, and off to bed.
Early day tomorrow...

Busy day today...
When I woke, the lake was quiet and mirrored, only the tree line and it's reflection breaking the gray of the sky and the lake. I was excited, thinking maybe the lake froze during the night. But I saw that the temperature was in the high 30's, and saw that even the skim ice that had been at the shoreline yesterday was gone. I was disappointed, but NOTHING'S better that being at The Lake. Well, maybe having someone to share it with....
After breakfast I went out to help Bob and Evelyn put a new tarp on their "hoop" shelter. They had been out there getting it ready, and with the three of us, we got it pulled up and over.
I went in to warm up and get my things organized to load the car. I took some items out to the garage, then went over to the other neighbor, Mary, to show her pictures. We had a nice visit.
Back home, I finished loading the car, finally leaving about 2:45. The sky was trying to break up and had gotten brighter.
I had a nice ride home, and was surprised when the fuel indicator "bing-binged". I looked down and saw the light on--and realized that the very next exit was in sight, and had a Meijer gas station! What luck for me! It was also the lowest price I'd seen in a couple weeks--$3.31. 15 gallons later, I was on my way.
I stopped at the hospital to check on Jim, who was having a kidney stone removed. I walked in just as the O.R. crew were doing their final interview to whisk him away. Polly and I had a nice visit as we waited for him to be returned. And when we were taken back to where he was, he was recovering nicely and felt amazingly better. Thank you God for modern medicine.
Polly went to get the car, while I rolled him to the lobby, and we each went on home.
Unloaded, and most stuff put away, I showered and got ready for the workday tomorrow.
I heard it's busy...

I made it...at the JC.
Cold, breezy, 33 degrees and ice at the edges of the lake. Quiet water was skim ice, too. Lots of waterfowl--I'm guessing at least a couple of hundred bufflehead ducks, lots of canada geese, some seagulls, and TWO EAGLES--perched right in my pine tree!!
I watched the first one swoop towards the cabin like it was going to come in the window. It curved up and landed on a branch. I laid on the floor to look up at it, watching it eat the fish it caught. Oh yeah, that was pretty cool....
The second bird swooped up and they had quite the noisy conversation.
The first one flew off across the lake, and the second one left a few minutes later. The flock of buffleheads were "swarming" above the water, and the second bird flew right through the group. I couldn't tell if it caught a duck, as it was very dusky and on the other side of the lake. Just Plain Wow!!!
Tomorrow Bob asked if I could help with an outdoor project. I'll do that, then get loaded up and ready to come back home. A short visit, but much needed. I sure love it here.
