I don't have much to report today. The power company was supposed to shut off the electric this morning while they did some work on the lines. I turned off the computers. I had some work to do but didn't want to be in the middle of something when the power went out. Needless to say, the power never went out. They will probably turn it off tomorrow when I'm in the middle of something. I ran out to do an errand and then went to the chiropractor. My sacroiliac was out of whack. I wasn't in pain it was just a little sore and needed to be clicked back into place. I took Danny for a little walk and then went to Toastmasters. It is difficult going to Toastmasters without Ted. We drove down the same road twice a month for about 18 years. It's hard not to see him there, participating in the group. He was one of their key leaders. I was asked to speak on the person in my life I admired the most. It was Ted but I couldn't speak about him, I would have cried. That's what I told them and I'm sure they understood. They all knew and admired Ted.
I walked Danny when I got home and he ran up to bed. I laid down on the sofa and watched some TV. After a while, he came running down, leaped onto the sofa and sat on my chest, trying to lick my face. He wanted me to come to bed and pestered me until I went upstairs. He is on the bed now waiting for me to go in there and turn out the light. If I try to read, he will try to sit on my face. I think he's trying to tell me lights out.

Hi Karol,
You're sure right about waiting for power companies and repair people that tell us when they're going to be someplace or do something and then don't. We sit at home just feeling so sure they will do what they said they would and
then they don't do their part. What's a girl to do? I guess, the answer is - we're at their mercy. I just hope you aren't in the middle of
a project when they do decide to do their thing.
I send hugs to both you and Danny Boy. I have definitely fallen in love with him through your writings Karol. And, of course, you too.
I can only imagine how painful it is for you to continue with Toastmasters without Ted. Nearly impossible for you to meet some of your challenges since Ted has been gone. However, I am constantly awed by your determination and strength to continue doing so much. I only hope you recognize your many attributes - I know Ted sees and knows what a fine woman you are. Just one of the many many reasons he loved you so.
Wishing you a good day. Ruth
