Good afternoon from cloudy Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. Right now it's 67 F but feels like 76 F. The breeze takes that away, though looking outside, even the wind has calmed down from what it was this morning. It's been a quiet day today. A little different, but still a good day. I'm thankful for my friend down the hall. I needed to talk and she listened. I'm thankful for the trail walk this morning after I talked with my friend. I walked two sections - pond and wooded. The mosquitoes were absent. I had all my steps by the time I got back to the apartment. I also just finished the foot cycle. So, I did well today. I'm thankful for the time I was here with you today. It's always good to see what you're doing in your part of the world. I'm thankful for the phone call I made this morning. They're having a talent show here next month. I called to see if she would like my talent as an author. She was excited. I'll meet with her on Monday. I'm thankful for the work I did on Guns of War. It's reading well. Okay, that's my day. I worked the foot cycle to one of the replays from the Olympics, the Dressage event. I love watching the horses. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading the image belongs to me.

This sounds like a very enjoyable day. I have been helping Jay carry things back and forth, for work on our property. The power mower can be used around the edges, to cut grass. I stopped by the library, to return a book.

I am thankful that Chilly crossed rainbow bridge peacefully and with his loved ones near. I am thankful I was able to put him in the ground next to his best friend, Precious. I also got two out of the four tube feeds done as well.

I had a very LONG day today, it started a t 5:30 this morn with nothing to eat cause I had lab work to get done, but 1st I had to take the dog to the vet at 10 so I had to do my lab AFTER we got done with the vet & by that time my sugar started going down hill min by min. By the time I got to the hosp for the labs I was off bal, didn't think I was going to be able to make it where I had to go to get the lab work done, but I did, so I got them done by this time it's already after 12 & I hadn't eaten since 11 pm LAST NIGHT, so we went to a buffet to eat & i wasn't feeling so hot I barely ate, but I did eat I took a short nap on the way home. We stopped at the mail box & I got a unexpected letter saying 1 of my health ins's owes me 185 $ since 2021 SAY WHAT? yeah I was shocked like why haven't they sent the $ ? so I had to call them to find out what I have to do to get it & now it's a waiting game. The vet where I took our dog says to put her on puppy food being as old as she is & the 2 lumps on her would be risky to put her through any surgery to just leave them at her age 15 yrs old, but he did give her the rabies shots, cut her nails & cost a 157$ by the time I got home & seeing the letter, I was fully awake & on the phone getting that out of the way. Now it's almost time to take my 3 last meds of the day & after I feed up the dogs & fish I'm taking me a nap where I can sleep as long as I want or until I feel like getting up ! So that's been my day, I have no idea what I have going the wkend, there's no telling.

I'm sorry you went so long without eating and your blood sugar went down. I'm glad you got a letter stating the insurance company owed you money. Why didn't they send it with the letter? Makes no sense that you needed to call them to get what they owe you.

I don't know yet, but since it's on 9/11 I'm also considering my poem I wrote for the first anniversary of the day of the attack - God's Tears.

They haven't shown much of the equestrian events here which was a pity.

I am very grateful for the health that God has given to my body. These past few days I have often accompanied my mother to the hospital. It is truly sad that many cannot experience the joy of health. I am grateful that we can all still experience it.

The horses are certainly beautiful animals to watch. Are you going to be disappointed now that the games are about over? I’m thankful that it wasn’t overwhelmingly hot today.

Yes, they are. No. I'm not watching much now because everything I was interested in is over. I'm glad it wasn't too hot.
