Italianight


Italianight, originally uploaded by ujima.

Bone and muscle tired but with a full and happy stomach. Did chiropractic and then trained with Patrick in the gym.
As we worked, I could smell such *wonderful* aromas coming from upstairs. Too tired to hang, I got my all-u-can-eat $5 Italian meal to go and struggled uphill to home feeling my 68 years which is unusual for me.
But I was revived by veal, sweet and hot sausages, broccoli rabe.zuccinitomato mixture and *Tiramisu*. Ahhhhhtalian!

Went with Mom to foot doc and then walked around corner to hair salon. It was quite an effort for her, the walk, and she was tired but proud. Then Debbie worked her magic.....

Met Teresa at clubhouse for delicious sushi and discussion of this year's Relay for Life. She's the event chair and the captain of our team. We were hoping to meet with Pat to get him and Life Unchained onboard, but the timing wasn't right. But we did have sushi!

We hung Uhuru Furniture's info on every doorknob and this person put their sofa in the *dumpster*!! I called Uhuru immediately hoping they'd get the sofa before the trash truck made an appearance. The sofa was gone when I looked on my walk home from the gym. Hope Uhuru won the race.

I tell them all the time to go up near Mickey D's and they'll get more and better pickins. But who listens to me??

State of the Black Union 2008


State of the Black Union 2008, originally uploaded by ujima.

Still grumpy about the NYC trip falling through so I set out for a 30 minute walk. Stopped @ Saladworks on the way home and go a Ujima Special:)
So pleased to discover Tavis Smiley's State of the Black Union 2008 on C-Span. 3-1/2 hours of listening to these wonderful,wise, passionate people filled me with joy and made me determined to volunteer to help get people registered to vote.

It began snowing last night about 10pm. No one left the clubhouse.
We just kept sipping and talking. Walked home about 2 ayem. It wasn't
slippery yet. So pretty as it falls.
We were supposed to go to NYC tomorrow , but everyone punked out because
of the weather....senior sissies :(
On the balcony taking snow pix.

The exhibition of paintings and more than 100 b+w photos was soul-stirring.

Light persistent snow today. Luckily I was picked up on the way to and on the way home from the chiropractor's office as I walked along. I go for training with Sue or Patrick Monday & Friday and to the chiropractor Tuesday & Thursday.No time for life. So I'm going to go to chiropractor only on Mondays after training and eventually once a month. Gotta get back to doing more interesting and fun things now I'm feeling so much better.

Our state representative, Cherelle Parker, had an early morning (early for me) meeting in the nabe. Since it was just across the street and up a hill, I got up and went.

Happy Tree


Happy Tree, originally uploaded by ujima.

Walking joyfully for 25 minutes. The doctor called to say no malignant cells were found in my test sample. Wanted to walk with my arms outstretched like this tree I admired.

In Spoons drinking a large Café Americano, eating a pbj sandwich and reading "What Is The What".

Valentine door


Valentine door, originally uploaded by ujima.

Hello February! Pouring rain today. Worked out with Patrick at the gym. We did lots of stretching exercises instead of working on machines as I do with Sue. It was a nice change.
Put up new door decor. Love what is for sale at $ Store.

Testing


Testing, originally uploaded by ujima.

Yucky fine needle aspiration yesterday. They were taking cells from a nodule on my thyroid. Light a candle and say a prayer for a good result.
Testing my new camera bought on ebay. Same as my old camera which I'd had for years. It was $200 then, now $40. No one wanted a throwback luckily.
