My garden is beautiful, it's 80 degrees outside, and my son and husband are installing a much needed new garage door opener.

I attended GLAD training yesterday and have some ideas for my classroom lessons.
I just woke up from a nap, after having attended an early Toastmasters meeting.  My sister gave a speech in the contest.

Well for starters:

1)  It's a beautiful sunny day here in So. Cal.  It's about 95 degrees! 

2)  My disability check finally came to me with 3 months back pay.  KA-CHING!  LOL.  :2thumbsup;

3)  Dialysis is a great thing.  Without it, I wouldn't be posting on this forum at this time.

The weather is nice today.
I ate a carne asada burrito that left the other teachers drooling over it at lunch.
My cat is on the desk visiting me while I type this. She makes me smile whenever I poke or kiss at her belly.
The dog's leg has healed and she is so much happier on four legs than on three.
Hubby is getting ready to travel.  Back to his old routines!  Hurray!

Marvin had a check-up today, and all of his labs (except BUN and creatnine, of course) were PERFECT !!  His neph said Marvin had the labs of a perfectly healthy person!  It was a good check-up, and Marvin is doing -- and feeling -- great!  Life is good.

It's sunny, breezy and beautiful out, so I have windows open and fresh air blowing thru the house.  Maybe it will blow away some of the dust and cobwebs!

I've got chocolate in the fridge.

There are leftovers for dinner so I don't have to cook.

Adding to this post really helps me when I'm having a lousy day - having to type out what is going well reminds me that my entire day isn't a disaster!

Great news about that leg OB.

It's a gorgeous day here in Toronto too. 
My friend's Mom sent me some of her amazing pasta sauce (no potassium restrictions for me yet).
My husband has been very sweet today and just got home to make dinner.

OB, great news that you are getting fitted :bandance;  :bandance;!  I hope it goes well.  Making prosthesesm is what my dad did for a living (he also wore a leg!).  He used to get a kick out of showing how well he walked to potential clients. He loved his job!

That would be an exciting job helping people to walk again.
The one that works with me says they have came a long ways and are improving all the time.
I just hope I can learn quickly.
I feel scared tho of losing balance, falling, etc.  but excited about taking a step again
and having 2 socks and 2 shoes on again after about 18 mos.
