Good Morning Gang. Yesterday was a pretty depressing day. Between hearing about the passing of White Dove, helping my co-worker with his FMLA, and then finding out one of Irvin's aunts passed on Sunday (she was 92) it was a crummy day.

Anyway the weekend was great we had a good time at the garlic festival and there was a vendor selling deep fried garlic. I bought 2 bags there were so good. Not much going on this week at work and I hope it stays that way.

QOTD: Do you have everything set-up for when you pass? I have a cemetery plot paid for and I know Irvin wants to be cremated, but we don't have anything set-up with a funeral home and that's something we've been talking about. You just never know when your clock runs out.

B: coffee and breakfast wrap

L: roast turkey sandwich

D: chicken marsala with spaghetti squash

We'll hit the Y tonight after football practice with the grandson.

Have a great day everyone!!!

it's true - she passed on Friday. I'm in Boston and just had dinner with John and Julia - they told me the news. So sad. I've been Facebook friends with Mary for years and roomed with her at the OH conference in California a couple of years ago. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. I'm still in shock.

Oh no. That makes me incredibly sad. She was such a sweet lady. Always supported us.

may her memory be a blessing to all that knew her.

Good morning, everyone!

I believe that White Dove (Mary) passed away late last week. If I'm wrong, and this is a Mark Twain situation, I greatly apologize, but I know that she will forgive me.

I will miss Mary, I loved her Angela's Ashes type stories of growing up in a huge Irish Catholic family, her groundbreaking as a woman in the computer programming industry, and her savvy WLS advice.

A smart lady, excellent writer, and kind soul. Rest in Peace, White Dove.

Good mornin y'all.

The pain clinic appointment was a bust. They always disappoint. The pain is just annoying. Also saw my case manager at the mental health clinic. It was nice to vent. I am really stressed out right now. Blargh times a million.

today is a thrift store day. We also have to drop off a load to them as my mom is cleaning out her closets. I am planning to clean a bit too on my room.

We've decided not to keep momma. We tried to introduce her to the others and it didn't go well. It's not fair to keep her in my room. I love her so so much but it'd be selfish to keep her,

QOTD: pain, since I can't take NSAIDs the pain is horrible. Tylenol is pretty much worthless for arthritis. I regret the surgery for that. I had to try though. Depression is bad right now so that may explain my answer! LOL

B: small piece of banana bread and a piece of cheese

L: small salad

D: eggs, green chili sausage...maybe made into a burrito with

momma
