The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Monday gratitudes... Posted by Cindy on 5/18/2026, 2:57 pm Care to share?

My five… Posted by Cindy on 5/18/2026, 10:00 pm, in reply to "Monday gratitudes..." 1. A busy day at work. We had bad weather set to come in and were sent home at 4:00 before the storm hit. Grateful to get paid for that hour and to work for a company that cares about their employees. 2. The storm (I think) is winding down. We had hail, rain, thunder and lightening. 3. My brother is feeling a bit better today. He was in a lot of pain over the weekend from a pinched sciatic nerve. Dr gave him some medicine but could hardly walk over the weekend. 4. I reached out to the guy that has been doing the work in my kitchen about doing some more work for us. I want some wainscoting in the stairwells. I think it will look really nice. We are also going to have him add an additional railing so there is one on both sides going up and down the stairs. It will help both Ken and I stay safer in our home. 5. Monday of next week is Memorial Day and we are off work with pay for the holiday. Love having an extra day off this weekend!!

We had storms Posted by Cindyh on 5/19/2026, 1:16 am, in reply to "My five…" Also. Supposed to tomorrow also. Good thinking on the railing Cindy.

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 5/18/2026, 4:42 pm, in reply to "Monday gratitudes..." 1) Dad is back to a regular diet after being on liquids post-op 2) I spent the afternoon in and out of the pool reading James Patterson 3) day off today from hospital and from the radio so that was nice 4) Ray. Always. 5) Cooper. He's such a fun kitty!

Krista. Posted by Beverly on 5/18/2026, 11:11 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" So glad your dad is on regular food!!!! Nice to have a day off... you need it... everyone needs it.

So glad…. Posted by Cindy on 5/18/2026, 10:02 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" Your dad is doing better. Do you know how long he will be in the hospital? Will he go home or have to go to a skilled facility for PT?

No we don't Posted by Krista on 5/19/2026, 7:57 am, in reply to "So glad…." It's a long weekend here in Canada so everyone's been off. He will see the surgeon today I expect. He is still on the epidural for pain management. They've tried to dial it down and remove twice but too painful. That'll be addressed today and physio will start there. They were all off for long weekend also. We're expecting a big day today. I'm hoping he will be up walking with physio and his walker and home by weekend. He has extramural care at home plus Paul so there's no need for an "interim" step and the bag is simple to change.

That is great Posted by Delta on 5/18/2026, 4:54 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" aout your dad. Did he get an ostomy as they thought? I think it was 10 days or more before I got solid foods. I'm glad that you got a day off for R&R. I am sure you were in need of it.

My gosh Posted by Krista on 5/19/2026, 7:58 am, in reply to "That is great " When did you have an ostomy, Delta? I had no idea!

Yes, he did Posted by Krista on 5/18/2026, 6:50 pm, in reply to "That is great " He's super lucky then and recovering at an amazing rate!
