That Was Yesterday

How is everyone today? I woke at 3:13 this morning and considered not going to the pool. However, I have a goal in mind, so I went and had a great workout in the pool and fitness center. I did find out I can't work on the leg curl machine. I can't get the thing to move with my legs so that one is out. I did work the leg press and that one is going well and I should be increasing my number from 50 to 60 soon. I did 48 lengths in the pool, my best yet. I got home, ate my HAM breakfast and settled here and was in the middle of posting the Health blog when my neighbor came to get directions for an interview she had. The map was more confusing than I expected. Finding this place took creativity. I guess I had that this morning. At least I knew where it was, even if I didn't know how to get there. It was one of those behind buildings and finding the right driveway to get there was interesting, to say the least. I got it on the third try. My plan was to show her how to get there then come home and let her go on her own. However, by the time we got there, there wouldn't have been time to drive home and her return. So we went into the interview. She was seen right away, despite being early. I met a wonderful woman who is part of the foster grandparent program my friend applied for at Encompass Day Care. She told me what she does besides working there. She works for Brown County Human Resources and picks up children from all over the state who are in foster care and brings them for a visit to their parents. She related a story about one little girl who has a good imagination. When she asked questions about an incident the cheeky five-year-old simply said, That was yesterday. The woman told me that though my friend was interviewing there, she could work at any of the other Encompasses in Green Bay. She told me where one is and I showed her where it was, close to our apartment complex. It's a beautiful house turned into a daycare. After that, I continued down the street and showed her where Bay Beach is; the Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Children's Museum that I didn't know about, but learned from the woman it had moved out there by Bay Beach. Then I showed her my favorite park. The one in the picture above. I was surprised to see how high the water was, but shouldn't have been with all the rain we've had. Time to come home and get work done, and finish, re-wrote, the post I was working on. I guess they don't last very long if you don't finish them before you're taken away from the computer. That was my morning. I didn't have any plans so it worked out perfect for both of us. How is your Monday? Thanks for reading.

The foster grandparent program sounds very interesting. Nothing here, just the heat.

You had quite a morning. It is funny how things works out well for people. And meeting a new person is always nice. I spent Monday at home working on plants and things. It was kind of a lazy day.

@DocAndersen That's the Bay of Green Bay. If you look at a map of Wisconsin, it's the area inside the thumb. Lake Michigan is on the other side between Wisconsin and Michigan.

My Monday was good, I did a load of washing, a load of dishes, went to exercise, took a lot of phone calls and then went to the toy store to get some model cars. I also did a revision of an article for a new client, so a good day. We also dropped off our Subaru for some much-needed repairs.

@just4him It needs a timing belt and that is an expensive repair but we know it has to be done before it goes on its own which could damage the engine.

@BelleStarr Yes, it could and that would be more expensive. I hope it won't take long to repair.

That was a good day. I'll run the dishwasher before I go to bed. I hope the Subaru won't need a lot of repairs or hit you hard in the pocketbook.

There's not a walking trail near there. I walked today though, over to the office and back, and talked to the office gal there for a little bit and came back here to find my box loaded up again.

@crazyhorseladycx They have that too. Yes, there are trails all over. However, I have a very hard time walking distances with my knees in the shape they're in. Swimming is the best thing I can do.

I'm sure she will. She needs to do this if she wants the doctor to sign off on her being a foster parent. This is the first step.

beautiful park. I watched Madagascar 2 and the last episode of Killing Eve. I have been trying to figure out what size to get for a jumpsuit I want to get on Black Friday.I have been taking measurements for that. Today I watched an episode of Unforgotten (mystery show on PBS). I got some no tie shoelaces and some more treats for Lily from the mailbox.

I went to bed around 3am and woke up at 5, that was fun. I love the idea of a foster grandparent, that is so sweet. I just spent my day working and now I am going to draw for the rest of the evening.

Now I'm a little better because the temperature dropped, it was horribly hot today. Because of the high temperature I did not go out, and probably I will not even tomorrow because it will be two degrees higher

Sometimes it seems like businesses don't want you to find them, as they are tucked behind other buildings and so forth. It can be a little maddening. I am glad you friend found her way..and you got to hear some interesting stories today.

It ha been quiet day so far. Some reading, praying and then some meditating sitting out on the porch while it wasn't too hot.. I have cut up onion and garlic between doing surveys before searing my chuck roast on all sides and now it is simmering away in water while I mylot and cut up cabbage while sitting here since my left side in the hip region is giving me a hard time after having to climb up and over in a car more than usual and it was acting up then. I also need to peel and cut poatoes which I can do siiting alo hortly but there is no ruh for that
