Ruth: so happy to hear things are resolving at work for you. That is such a relief. I have always admired your willingness to adjust your employment to accomodate William's recovery. That was such a major decision and to have it make more stress and difficulty for you was just so discouraging. Pleased things are looking up.

That William. Never ceases to amaze. Good for him to volunteer to go to the pool. Sorry about the kid's program, but glad you stayed. It is always time consuming getting out, so the upside was being able to get the workout in. And a special treat!

Good week and thank you for sharing the good news. Debbie

no kidding-- i think of you and will often when i am on my way to the once a week therapy ( water)... wish i could do more but dan don't want to and honest to goodness i dont have the energy... work issues - they are the worst....... i don't miss that about work at all..... But i was a kinda a queen bee working with a lot of men so for the most part i just told them what was gonna happen and it happened....my co worker bought me a shirt once that said ---- I didnt say it was your fault -I said I would blame you..... I still wear it when ( now if) we happen to be going out for wings on weds nights ----.... - we always get a good laugh.... it's been a long time since i had that luxury ( outing with friends) as all of us caregivers know only to well..... Glad the co- worker issue is getting resolved you do not need one more thing in your life for sure... and William God bless him -- such a trooper--- wish dan could find that gumption nancyl

Gad it worked out ok. At my local pool they have a senior time. It is an hour when no one who is young is allowed in the pool. Check it out.

In some areas of towns the only pools open are at the Y's still some towns have the large pools/parks where people gather daily in this hot weather to cool down some!! We have two such pools here and they are full daily!

We had the drought in this area and a couple pools are closed now to conserve water they say!! I think there is a shortage of trained life guards as well!

Ha! Larry would not like the kids and splashing either. But then he is not big on the pool either. At least you can get in some exercise with William when you take him. All I can do is watch Larry exercise.

I'm glad you have the issue of your co-worker behind you. That was added stress you didn't need for sure.

Have a good weekend.
