Mum was snoozing in her car waiting for her doctor's office to open and someone banged on the window and asked if she was ok.
No one holds doors for anyone here. It's not politically correct.


That’s what happened to me. Fellow knocked on car window to see if I was ok I think that’s very nice. I love a person who helps me in any way holding the door or such. Yesterday I told a friend I was meeting the girls and she told me they are not girls she learned that in Some class on women’s rights or such. I should call them ladies. I said they are old ladies do you want me to call them old ladies? Well I will call them what I want to call them. there is a show called the Golden Girls and they are not little girls. I’m like the red hat ladies I will wear red and purple if I choose and be politically incorrect if I choose and it doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Now I’ve stepped off my soap box.
I chatted with my friend who has cancer and her treatments brought back memories of my hub’s treatments. Made me nervous thinking of it. Pet my cat and said some prayers and feel a bit better.

If they are making a change that will affect you, does it hurt to DISCUSS it before it is done?
There is a huge gossip at work that I try to avoid (and it isn't a woman!)
Bundle up in your woolens and stay warm and dry.
Love you back Susan


I remember. When someone asked my neighbor what was happening and my neighbor said “nothing I want to talk to you about.’ Loved it

I was up at 4:30 this morning, because Tazi-kitty saw the sun coming through the blinds and figured the day had started. (She wanted her breakfast).
I hope you can get ready and don't feel rushed.


Got thru the appointment by sleeping in car while son went inside. Had lunch at Cracker Barrel and then went to see a movie half price Tuesday slept in car waiting for movie time and nodded off during the ads in theater. Nice man held the door for me. So cute I wanted to flirt but didn’t. Loved the movie about world war 2. Your kitty is better than an alarm clock. Min is like that too

I haven't purchased a knitting magazine for a long time. Enjoy.


So much knitting patterns on computer no need to buy magazines. Cross stitch I need to be close to see the stitches. I make them bigger on computer but not comfortable holding it while stitching. Foolishly I made appointment for son’s doctor at 11 am so need to get up 9 am. Take meds at 2 am. Hope I can fall asleep then. When I want to I can’t.

Son stopped in Barnes and Noble to get me a cross stitch pattern magazine. Love it. Might finish the sweater instead of driving it. Still kind of like it. No decision yet.

Wish I knew how to de-chipmunk my property. Don’t want to hurt them just find them a place in the woods. One is as long as a fish fry then I saw a baby maybe more than one. Cost $6,200 to fix the car wiring they chewed. Insurance paid all but $200 which I paid. That would have bought a lot of yarn etc.

Our mechanics don't like to keep cars on their lots due to insurance issues. I hope you get your car back soon.
It sounds like it's time to get another heater. I have to get another air cleaner for my room. Mine only works on high speed now and it is too noisy for me to sleep at that speeed.
Everything is made to break these days, even things that are expensive. (Like cars!)
I hope you have a good appointment today.


The therapist will wrap my legs so they decrease in size. 3 to 4 weeks 3 times a week. I don't like to be late so when I have an appointment I’m edgy. 10to 12 appointments I’ll be quite edgy. Just glad she can help me.

There are lots of sites that point out the physical and mental benefits of knitting.
(Although I don't feel that way when I'm up against a badly written pattern )
Check out the free patterns on Ravelry. There are lots and I'm sure you'll find something.


I like Ravelry. I have a lot of books and patterns I’ve collected since I was around 12 years old maybe 8 years. I don’t know what son can do when I die because he won’t know who would love them as I do.
My problem is choosing what to knit. Sometimes a piece just calls my name. Then I’m a happy person. Thanks for the site on benefits of knitting.
The mechanic got the motor light off and fixed the heater. But today the light went on again. He will look at it on the 29th and says it’s ok to drive it. I didn’t realize how much I need my car until I didn’t have it for a month. I’ve always sympathized with people who don’t have a car.

Car problems affect everything we do unless there is really good transit that we can use. I can go to Cobourg the next town 6 km away, but I can't go anywhere else without a car, and definitely can't get to work.
Find you car manual and read what those symbols mean. I had one that came on regularly, but I found out it was a reminder to get an oil change. Thanks, not helpful!


I need a good knitting project. Always feel better when I’m knitting. I can do crochet stitches but can’t follow the patterns.

The mechanic found there was a loose valve and now we have heat he said he might have accidentally touched it or it may have been like that. I think the dealer did it when they were replacing the electric wires. Don’t know He checked the symbol and no problem was indicated. I am overdue on changing the oil but he said it’s ok til the 29th when he can do it. Now the air conditioner isn’t working but he will look into it on the 29th. Got home and the kitchen light isn’t on. Needs new bulb. son will do it tomorrow. I have a small heater 7 inches square. Love it. Well tonight it made a medicine like smell and blew cold air. Then hot air. Then the propeller inside was slowing and air was cold so I unplugged it. Don’t know why I’m having these issues. Darn. If I don’t get the car back my friend was going to pick me up and we were meeting another lady for dinner at a Mexican restaurant. I like the atmosphere. They have paintings of ladies in full skirts and men in sombreros. Colorful and pretty. Food was very good and priced decent. I got a vegetarian item with peppers onion mushrooms rice fried beans guacamole sour cream and flat circle bread. Friend said she will order it next time. Split chocolate cake with son. I don’t have a manual they put it on line and it didn’t show any meaning for the symbol. Probably want us to go to dealer for the work. I will never go to that dealer. My friend said a guy she knows had them keep his car quite a while and not do a good repair. He said he won’t go back either. Have appointmemt with therapist for my legs tomorrow.

Stress and anxiety can be as hard as depression Polly, and can make physical illness worse or even cause it, probably don't have to tell anyone that. Once you realize it though, and try to tweak how you think, it can be a game changer. So easy to get stuck and play over the intrusive thoughts that are negative, it almost becomes habit as a coping skill...I had to learn this myself. The brain is a tricky! Have you considered cognitive therapy as a way to help? I too want to see you have happier days. Hugs
Stress and anxiety can be as hard as depression Po... (show quote)


Thank you I usually feel,I can handle the mess but wish I didn’t have to. Expressing it is good for me because I keeps me from over thinking things. I’m reading a book called 10% Happier by Dan Harris where he discusses similar to what you have said. I have people I chat with and a philosophy that keeps me afloat. I still gripe but I keep on truckin.
