Yay it is Friday. Not that it matters what day of the week it is for me because I am one of those fortunate souls who is retired! And loving it. 🤗
I can celebrate that this has been a pretty good week for me. I don’t know if it is the walking I have been doing, or going back to dancing, or the weather but I have been feeling really well these past few days – exceptionally well. I will always have COPD and asthma, and bronchiectasis, and genetic collagen issues but being more active for these past few months and eating healthier is obviously paying off in lung function, muscle toning, and general wellbeing.
This has been a good week for (and with) Molly, too. She has been walking very nicely. Today, we even cut through a corner of Regent Park and met up with another young dog and she was very well behaved. Mostly she has been pretty good at home as well. 👍
I haven’t spoken to Genie for a couple of days, but I assume she is gearing up for a few busy days working Guest Services at the CNE this weekend. She has been doing such work since she turned fifteen. She worked as a front-end supervisor at one of our biggest and busiest big box grocery stores for three years (including the worst of the pandemic). Then she moved to a pool company where she worked front counter sales and did customer water samples. Both jobs, she did pretty much full time while also taking full time classes. It is funny that no matter where she works, how busy it is, or how difficult customers can be ( especially during a pandemic 🤨), what excites Genie are the customers who are exceptionally kind and considerate and caring. Every time I talk to her this summer, she has a story about someone who made her day. It is so nice to hear about such people, especially when she is on her own, across the country from everyone she knows. ☺️
Genie also seems to find her way to any place where she can wander around making animal friends. These are just a few that she met this week.
That is it for today. Take care and have a great day! 💞

Hi, Eileen. I wouldn’t be hanging out in the reptile section. Maybe with the squirrel. 🙂

Your doggy is adorable. We used to have a golden but he passed a few years ago and it broke my heart.

Thank you, Michelle. My boss used to have Goldens. The first one he had when I was there was Jodi. One Sunday he sent me a text that he had just put his little girl down. I cried so hard. 😢. He just adored that dog.
Our Molly is a Pyrenees sheep dog.

Thank you, Karla. She’s an original! 💞 TBH all of our grandkids amaze me. They are all so sweet and so frigging intelligent and talented. They were all operating iPads in diapers. We were eating Crayons in grade three. 🤦

You’ve turned the corner with Molly. I like the animal pics. The only problem with days in retirement is forgetting which one we are on 🙂

Glad to hear that it’s been a pretty good week. We might as well enjoy the remaining days of summer while we can. It’s hard to believe that September is right around the corner!
