[ToMyHealth]

Nora, same here yest. 93 deg. Hooe today isn't quite so hot or 18 holes may turn into 9. I'm not very good with the paper clutter either. Hate it. Good for you making a serious dent in it.
Hope you had a good workout, Liz. Past 2 days I did 4 mi both days of Leslie DVD. Bit sore but nothing that advil couldn't take care of.
Hey Mama Bear, how was date night?
Oh I see it was Rusty who had the 93 deg. Have fun boating today!
Will have to check out Grace and Frankie.

Happy Sunday all

Morning all. Yet another mass shooting today, it is sickening, I hope they see if the shooter had more connections and catch them.

I am envious of the hot weather except Pauly and Nora's We are back to cloudy, showers and rain. High 40's, low 50's in the middle of June for crying out loud.

I need to attack the paper stacks too but I'm not motivated. Someone had suggested my electrolytes might be off with dehydration and low blood pressure so when my friend took me to the grocery store I picked up and 8 pack of Gatorade. I lifted it out of the car and oh my, I've certainly paid for that silly choice. Pain has increased, so I'm trying to lie low. Peggy needs a lot of walking though and wish she could go to a sitter for a couple of days.

I'm trying to stay in the moment because I can't control the future and worrying about the past is futile. It takes a disciplined effort to do that, but it's a good challenge and I've been feeling defeated lately

It sounds as if some of us have summer plans and others will take it easy, whatever, have a good Sunday.

Hello Everyone, I know I've been laying low on here because I got out of the habit of posting here (except for the NN roll call) during my move from Vermont (finally got the house packed up and sold), and I'm relearning how to have a life. I have a second date this evening (kayaking) with a college psychology professor who is similarly jaded about the lack of "brainy" people to form a connection with, and she shares similar interests. I'm more nervous than I usually am because she is one I would actually hate to see "get away."

I guess the reason why I'm here is what has happened over the weekend in Orlando. The shooting death of the 22 year old singer who was a finalist on the TV show "The Voice" happened at a venue right in my neighborhood. I saw and heard all the hubbub, but was unaware of what actually happened until the following morning. Then to be followed the very next night with the worst mass shooting in US history by far (at least 50 dead; the next deadliest, Va. Tech was 27) has left the city traumatized, especially since Orlando is a very progressive, tolerant and vibrant city. I am left wondering how those qualities that so many people find so wonderful can engender such visceral hatred in others. Wounds heal, but one this bad is going to leave a scar that isn't going away.

Hi all . . .
aihfl - I am shattered by this latest news. I can't imagine one of these tragedies in my town let alone two. Peace to you. Even though I don't live in Orlando, I live in the US. This has got to stop!! Unreal, frustrating, unnecessary, selfish, we don't have enough time here on earth for hate.

Ok, trying to move on. Rusty, I'm so glad you got a day off and were able to enjoy it on the water. That is one of my favorite things to do.

Frances, I'm assuming your daughter plays in a summer league?? Fun!

Nora, how is your hubby's pain level lately? Better I hope.

SK - always good to see you here. I am so sorry things are not progressing quickly. Hang in there.

Pauly - what's the temp in Nevada??? Is this the season you just stay inside?? I think I would.

We had a very lazy Sunday morning here. Its ok as I have a busy day at work tomorrow. I'm taking my oldest son out for a "highway" drive to log more hours on his permit. He is getting better but still needs a lot of practice.

Take care - AG

I'm wow, way too much going on in Florida! It just makes me so sad.

For me outside of all that drama, a good weekend. Street fair in town today and I ran into some friends I haven't seen in way too long. Watched some soccer with my boys. Hope you're all doing ok.

Mondayitis...

[SKendall]

aihfl, I agree with you. I'm on overload with the tragedies all over the world.

I always think of Nora and hope that we can go to the blankie fort and she will say something to make us all feel better.

Let's keep the injured and families in our minds and hearts today.

[NoraC]

sorry - I've got nothing this time. Blankie fort is set up and I'm huddled inside. I do have the coloring books already.

[Lizann]

[SKendall]
