What a week I've had - I started to think of all I've done this week and it made my head spin! I really need to slow down. Of course, my thought has always been that I can sleep when I'm dead...

Yesterday I traveled to Tupper Lake to go to the doc with my stepdad - that turned into what my husband would call a goat rodeo. Meds changed but not called in, now he has nothing to take....I'm looking for a new doc for him. I couldn't even get in touch with anyone to take care of the problem today. So I'm hoping he will be AOK till we get this resolved next week. I wish we had docs in the area that specialized in geriatric care. The elderly have special needs and need someone who can take the time to listen to their problems. It is truly needed and I have not found that available. Heck, won't be long and I will need that too. LOL.

But Tupper Lake was a lot of fun. I went to "Girls Night Out" at my friend Joy's beautiful store. She had an open house from 5 till 8 pm with door prizes (I won a really nice picture frame - Thanks Joy!), beverages, snacks, massages and Deanna from Activate Wellness Naturally was there to do homeopath health screenings. Surprisingly enough, I was pretty free of toxins and she advised me to keep on doing whatever I'm doing. It was very interesting and a wonderful night with my pals that I grew up with. I was talking with one lady and Joy said, "You remember Laura?" - a former high school pal I had not since those days. It was great to see her - she is one of the classmates I fondly remember.

Here's a link to Joy's store. http://www.theadirondackcompany.com/
Check it out and when you are in Tupper Lake stop in! She has a wonderful selection of Adirondack furnishings and accessories and the store looks and smells beautiful. For you old timers (like me...) her store is in the JJ Newberry building - our former 5 & 10 cent store on Park Street - right across from the movie theatre. It's a great place for holiday shopping and you can support a local merchant!

Now it's time to get ready for a concert! Doug Knight and Friends tonight at the Ausable Valley Central School. My pal and talented bluegrass musician Doug has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease so the Ski Club at the school has organized this concert filled with talented musicians and good friends of Doug's. We are all hoping and praying that Doug can beat this disease and I know there will be lots of positive energy flowing his way tonight. It will be quite a night.

This morning I woke up early and wanted to go for a walk. I went down to the park in Tupper Lake and walked around the lake. I missed Coco, whom I had left home but thanked her for training me to want to walk every morning. She's been good for me and I think she is one of the reasons my body is low on toxins. Exercise helps get them out of your system!
