This weekend aiming for the air show in London and the Garlic Festival in Stratford.

Been quite quiet out here near the airport (my office is just a few minutes drive from London International) so far this week. Usually we start hearing planes coming in around Thursday and see them rehearsing or doing fly pasts on Friday. Much as I love planes, that Garlic Festival almost sounds more interesting. I am, indeed, a lover of the stinking rose.
 
Came home to a heat warning-29 feeling like 36 today and tomorrow.
The cat was well looked after, the Korean neighbours were just there feeding her when I came. The mother had even written a log with all the tasks they have done. I went a bit overboard with buying gifts for the kids at COWS. Will give to them tomorrow. The cat couldn’t wait until I sat down ro come and stretch out on my lap.
 
I have the feeling that I have been in a very long go-live, and am handing off the reins to the support organization.
There is the anxiety of the customer who is concerned they will be supported, ie will the other team know their needs, or be able to address their concerns.
There is also the awareness of myself, that I need, for my own health to hand them off, and working on strategies to reduce the concern of the "customer".

I'm used to it.

Just a bit different when the customer is family and the concern is health.

Good morning. We're looking forward to getting together with RVer friends today. One couple recently came back from a fishing trip in a gorgeous remote part of Vancouver Island. They have tuna, salmon and prawns for us. Yum. We'll have a potluck lunch and good visit.

That sounds interesting. I have often wondered if fresh tuna tastes better than the stuff in cans.

Fresh tuna is much better than canned tuna. Our friends were very generous. We're thankful that our freezer can handle it. As @Mendalla said, tuna sushi or sashimi is great. I like tuna pretty much any way I get it.

Our visit was great. It was so nice to be in a circle with this bunch again. The dogs had a bit of a romp and were happy to see each other again too
 
Mom's 90th birthday celebration at a restaurant amidst as much of her family as possible was......a Success! She loved it. And we all felt the love and the humour and the togetherness. I drank too much wine (my family didn't adhere to my rule: Don't ever let me drink a second glass!). Mom might not have understood what was going on at all times...she stood up to thank everyone a few times, thinking it was the end of the evening, but it was just the end of one course in the meals. But too much gratitude is never a bad thing.

Hope it all goes smoothly as you go back home.
 
Was a good day today, took advantage of a warm smoke free day while the boats are still available to borrow. Went out on the SUPs with Chemguy. I've been before, but this was the first real time where I wasn't getting help with getting up or down (did have a bit of help at the docks though). Managed to get from standing to kneeling to sitting on my butt (for a little break. heels were sore and I don't do great with kneeling for more than a minute on any surface) and then the reverse.
I did not feel comfortable doing that before, but did not want to get wet and had no towel. Today had swim bottoms and was alright with the possibility of falling off - surprisingly felt very stable. Even took some steps on my board to change my positioning. Chemguy was nervous watching me do that but it felt alright to me.
I could have been out there longer, Chemguy was the one who said he was at his limit first. Kinda nice to not be the first one fatigued for once. He complained about wobbly legs right on the dock.
I'm the one who is sore now though - funnily while on it, it was my lower body, mainly my feet that I was feeling. Now - forearms and shoulders. Plus had a looong nap.

Hope to get out more doing that, there were times during the weekday I would have, but wasn't comfortable without someone there as a designator helper. Felt good enough out there now to go alone (at a staffed lake) or going with whoever has some free time.
 
Good morning! Fresh tuna, visits of all kinds, family birthdays, going home, and solving the world's problems; it all seems to happen with us. These and other things can be brought to the Coffee Cart, for discussion and chat, community and support, and hot beverages. All is ready, c'mon in!

Before my latest round of aging and sickness I really enjoyed paddle boarding. Now I get pleasure from watching the younger folks having fun - especially youngest grandson who started when he was five.
 
I am so aware of how my network supports me.

In part, I am aware it is because I open doors for such support to enter

I'm curious, if you were to be stricken I'll, who would you look to for support?

When I was diagnosed I didn't have to look far for support. The most important people in my life were there. After some thought, I decided to create a private FB group where I could provide updates once instead of many times. Of course the most important people in my life got told directly in person or by phone.

Creating the FB group turned out to be a good thing for me. I discovered I had a circle of support out there. It was also a place to essentially journal some of my thoughts. Of course I was aware this was FB and acted accordingly.
