Good news for me at least! I'm down another 2 lbs for an even 20! I'm so happy!!!!! Bad new is...Pete needs the surgery on his knee. He has a piece of torn cartilage that they will remove Laproscopically. He should be back on his feet in a couple of days and able to work in a couple of weeks, Hopefully he will be motivated to find a new job. There hasn't been much out there tho I'll tell ya! He's also lost about 30 lbs himself or more. He has to get below 330 for it to register on our scale .

Ok, gotta git! Parent meeting at the school tonight! Talk to ya later!

This is a Sad Day.
My nephew Jason's baby died last night. I just found out this morning. He was 2.5mo/old.
It's all speculation on the Why rt. now. It could have been by natural causes or not. Perhaps neglect...
Apparently, 911 wasn't called rt. away. And...EMT's/Coroner are saying it looks like the baby passed 3 or 4 hrs before the call.

Pat - and for the baby's soul and parents. Although babies are innocent and don't need our prayers to get in to heaven.

Today is Tanzania Day - Curry Fish with Rice, Red Beans and Plantains in Coconut Milk.

Thanks...Guys. Eyes are really puffy from crying last night. I used some hot packs that I use for dry eye syndrome and they seemed to help w/the redness/swelling.
It's sounding like it may have been SIDS. They aren't sure yet.

Pat is Safe. Nah...fires aren't near us. But, we did get lots of smoke for a few days when the wind direction changed on us from other fires west of us.
Today, is very windy w/blue sky. Winds aren't helping the fires in Los Angeles areas.

Blondie~Nummy meal plan today.

aw man! i think pat needs hugs all around!!! how are the parents? how are the grandparents? i guess your sis or bro or DH's sis or bro?... my cousin's daughter lost her baby last year...she was due any day and 3 days before her due date, she went for a stress test and nada! nothing! she felt the baby move that morning...looks like he died a couple of hours before she arrived for her test! i had seen her a month before and rubbed that belly like crazy. its a sad thing when a baby/child dies! keep those puffy eyes at bay...i will say a prayer for your family tonite.

and yeah! those darn fires scare the crap out of me!!!and i am far far away!

Yeah...losing a baby/child has to be the most sad and painful thing to go through.
My nephew is my Houston-Sis' son.
Sounds like coroner is calling the death a SIDS event.
They finally released the baby to the funeral home. Viewing is today and funeral is tomorrow.

My yoga instructor and classmates including myself gave them a spiritual-meditative session on Tues. And...we are packing up a box of 'natural 'tokens from Tahoe and notes of support to them today. It was my instructor's idea.
I put some adler pines cones in a bottle w/some lavender oil. And...I made a pair of garnet earrings for nephew's dw.

For all you NOT on Facebook, jere's a quick update - the A/C in our building quit completely - Last Thursday! Yep that's right - no a/c at all. It's as hot and humid inside as it outside, making anything beyond getting up off the bed almost unthinkable! DH went and got fans for all the room just so we can live there. But yesterday we noticed - FUNGUS groing on the furniture and throw pillows!!!!!! Now I'm going to have to have the furniture re-covered and probably just throw out the throw pillows. Like I can afford that - but we can't even do do that until the A/C works again. A couple of my kids are coughing horribly and sound awful and I suspect it is related to the fungus.

Oh yeah - trying to cook for Iftar is REALLY fun!!!!!! Never the less, tonight is Peru Night. Chicken Peruano, Red Salad, Aji Sauce and Fruit Espuma

Blondie! That's just awful!

Nat & Blondie~I did join Facebook last mo....but, I ended up closing my acct. Why? Cuz I didn't feel I had enuf privacy and felt too exposed. Yep....
That's the reason and I'm sticking to it.

I think you're right Nat! Pretty much all of us, except DD who has been staying with SIL and DH who is in Saudi are sick now! Even our housemaid seems out of sorts, poor thing. And still no A/C

Blondie~Yeah...mold can be pretty bad for your health and hard to get out of a house/building.
All that Cajun food should help w/the heat.
I hear that eating spicey/hot food actually helps deal w/the outside heat.

Yeah...Nat, there is lots of Fungus Among Us.
