Wow, it's back to school tomorrow. It's a long (Labour Day) weekend. K has an orientation day for the grade 9's and he wants his dad to take him. Parents are allowed in with the students for the morning information session. It's worrying hearing about that 'mild' swine flu outbreak in a U.S. University just as the school season starts.
L is stressing about making a last minute change to one of her course selections. She found an old workout CD of mine and has been doing the 45 minute workout in the basement. Her allergies are acting up, so it's probably a good idea to stay indoors.
We had a nice dinner out with our friends last night. We all talked about our arthritis symptoms and how the recent weather has alleviated them! My friend had an MRI on her knee but we joked that nothing would show up as she was having such a good spell. It seems as if everyone has aged overnight...casualties of the middle years.

I know ours are old enough to remember but a gentle reminder for them to keep their hands away from their faces!! And use the hand sanitizer after they use the restroom and before lunch (or before anything they put in their mouths) is a great way to help protect them when they are not around. Good luck to K & L this year with school, I hope they do well
