Today Seelerman and I were out yardsaleing. At one of our stops there was a child of about eight selling pink lemonade and small cupcakes decorated with a pink swirl. I asked how much for the cupcakes (we had just bought coffee at Tims) and was told $1.00 each. For two-bite cupcakes - it seemed high. Then she added that it was `for a cure`. I passed her a five dollar bill and asked for two. ``Mom, do we have change.` I looked up to her mother sitting in a lounge chair by the door - a hat covering her head. I remembered my daughter not too many years ago with her variety of headcoverings, and I said, `Keep the change`.
 
Pinga - ever since my sister painted my nails during my holiday trip I`ve been trying to break a lifelong habit of biting my nails. Seelergirl helps me trim and paint them (my tremor in my left hand makes it difficult to do myself). As long as she is doing it for me, I have to resist trimming them a bit with my teeth.
 
Barbequed sole .. a baseline fish ... good after all the laying of stones on the driveway ... an escape route?

Gets one to church to view all the ridiculous things dreamt up without thought ... as thought is eliminated in a pure sense of passion ... thus no calm passion ... and no one in a sense of tres vite stops to think!
 
You can get non-carcinogenic nail varnish if you're careful. But it's not a concern of most nail places, you're right.

It is the rough edges. Once I get them, I can' t leave the alone. Hoping that i can make them last for a bit, anyhow.
I think it is wonderful that your duaghter helps in this way.

I went to market this morning, picking up many fresh fruits and vegetables.
I hope you like them, I have left a basket on the table for folks to enjoy.

There's also a jug of ice cold water.

@Pinga. I think you should not paint your nails.

I'm thinking about this one. I do remember that Seelergirl stopped painting her nails during treatment. But she does now - I think she started once treatment was over and she was in recovery. Hair grown back in; back to work; painting her nails.
 
Some ugly alchemi is related to painters, cougars, and all other such cover-ups ... just to avoid soul ... the conceptional thingy ...
 
I know when I went through ECT that I couldn't wear nail polish because they need to see your nail beds because they have important information about your system. That said I know there are programs that paint people's nails while they are in treatment. Anyhow I'm sure Pinga's team will guide her in the right direction.
 
Pinga, I've never bitten my nails and I keep them fairly long but the rough edges drive me NUTS too, I keep multiple nail files with me in my car, in my purse, in my desk drawer. The dollarama has some REALLY cute ones (probably not the best ones out their I'm not a nail expert by any stretch and they work).
 
You guys are the best you know that? Talking through stuff, making suggestions, sharing a laugh, sharing a story, all is good.

What am I doing this weekend? I decided to cover my dining room table with all the 'best intentions" that I had for scrapbooking books for my boys and get going on them. Taking me a bit to get going again. I had stopped when my sister moved away and then life got busy. I have tons of materials, so it is just a bit of remembering why I bought what and starting to lay out pages again. Just finished a two-age set on Five Oaks for my oldest, with another two page set ready to be done for my youngest. I will set it aside so it has time to become itself, though the look is quite different.

I'm still not feeling all that well. Took a painkiller before bed, still was in lots of pain this morning. I'm grumpy. There were things I really wanted to get done this weekend so I could pace things well for some stuff next week. That weekend will be busy, don't worry if I'm not around.

Little things are getting to me. Saw this headline on facebook:
OTTAWA – A woman sits on a cardboard box in the middle of a downtown sidewalk. She holds a needle, looks for a vein, and shoots up in broad daylight.

It’s the reality of an addict – with nowhere to go.

I'm tired of this type of language for 'people shooting up in broad daylight' and today really wasn't when I wanted to come across it.

Yes...we have been sharing struggles here. Hoping that everyone gets the strength they need for the trials they face. Now...to share something that is NOT a struggle: My mom has shore property on St. Joe's Island (in Lake Huron). We don't have a cottage. The shore is weedy, and the sandy bottom where we swim is that mushy, sinky kind of sand. But, we love it there. We have a picnic table there, a little shed with a composting toilet in it, and folding chairs to sit on. We swim, play in the sand, eat sandwiches and just LOVE the world and all that is in it. When I need to visualize a place to get away to...this is it! Wish I could share the peace I find here with everyone.
 
@Nancy - I've been to St. Joe's island a good many times! Had good friends with a farm there for several decades - they've now moved on. Interesting little place. You must be a hardy soul to swim there - the water is kinda cold isn't it? It sounds like it holds many wonderful memories for you - a good little retreat, even if only in your mind :-)
