It was kind of distressing waking up to muggy, wet, Saturday morning. Didn't help that, most likely due to the combination of the humidity and continuing to ride my bike... despite it being stuck on high gear ..., my right knee is hurting, bad!!!

Thankfully (kind of), DD is feeling under the weather and doesn't feel like attending her soccer clinic: I didn't relish the idea of spending 90 minutes, sitting outside, in the damp weather. Thankfully, this means that I can use that time to do something else.... maybe I'll bake those cookies I've been craving for

BTW, in reply to someone's comments, I am aware of the softening of the medical community where HRT is concerned. Unfortunately, my doctor is still erring on the side of caution, and hesitates to prescribe them to women who, like me, are not in surgical menopause.

Where DS is concerned, things are a lot better and, this year, I'm hoping to get involved in the committee that overlooks special education. Even if I can't get on that committee (our school already has a rep and, considering he was president of the school-board-wide committee last year, I'm thinking that he'll most likely want to sit on the committee again this year), I'm planning to start a motion, at least within our school (gotta start somewhere), to raise awareness on mental health issues: I've been dealing with it for over 10 years now, with DS, and am still learning new things, almost every day. Imagine how it is for those who are not so closely involved? They have no way of knowing that even "normal" teasing can be seen as an affront to a child dealing with mental health issues!!!

OK, enough babling for now... back to enjoying my day.
