1) My grandfather is dying and we really believe it's a matter of days now.

2) Dance on Mondays, Swimming on Tuesdays, Piano on Wednesdays, Swimming on Thursdays.

3) Work. Got that promotion and that's great, but of course the work load went to the sky - see why my manager needed TWO asst. mgrs? She was doing all this alone.

4) Speaking of boss, she was handed a wonderful gift by her father for her whole family to fly back east next week for a family reunion. Which means...yeah. L and I and us alone. Gahh.

5) I have open on one of my tabs this lovely story by lolabobs and I keep reading it section by section because that's all I have time for. Yesterday morning Roy turned the alarm off rather than snooze and we woke up at 6:30, the time when he's usually about ready to go out the door. Did I get a shower? No. And Jayne had four teeth pulled, and on that list of nine? I did 2.5 of them. It's an ongoing list, we'll see what I succeed with today. Plus I have PT this morning - last scheduled one and they will set me free on my own to see how that goes. Which means I really need to get back to the gym to do a lot of these exercises most effectively, which means forcing THAT time in somewhere. And I've not been going becuase I pulled my achilles' tendon a couple of weeks ago and it's nearly back to normal. Ouch.

6) I've been eating like crap this weeks out of stress and time issues and I cringed to get on the scale this morning - but I did, even after having eaten, and I"m still about where I was. That makes me feel a little better.

7) Also having to get ready for the San Fran work trip in a couple of weeks. This time it's arrive Sunday and leave Wednesday morning. I have no free time. I hate that.

8) I have programs out on the DVR to watch, so I run them with one eye on the tv and the other on the work puter, which has been out in the living room all week.

9) GOOD THING: I HAVE A GORGEOUS PIECE OF ART FRAMED FOR MY WALL. And we're getting a new camera.

10) It's Friday, thank GODDESS.

First, I'm officially discharged from Physical Therapy, yeah! Gotta keep working on my own now.

NOW - Cousin Greg is generous and I have a HUGE HUGE zucchini - seriously, this thing is probably 18-20 inches long and big around. *SHUT UP DIRTY MINDS*

I need lots of suggestions as to what to do with this. My mom took the first one he brought me and shredded it and will make bread with it, yum, but I need some other ideas - recipes, etc. My kids don't like it, pooh on them, but I do so what can you share with me?

Back to the salt mines...

lasairfhiona, I'm makign that pork today - will let you know how it turns out. :)
