Bucked List Update/Random thoughts
I spent last weekend with some "thirty something" friends. One said she had been thinking about her bucket list since I have mentioned mine many times. I'm glad that she is thinking about it now, while she is young and has more time to fulfill that bucket list.
I have started to re-evaluate mine every few months.....adding a few things as I go. As I have mentioned before -- some of these (Source: Dealing with Alzheimer's Blog)

Memories/Experiences/Sports
There is a reason this blog is called "Creating memories". It's because when I was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's the first thing I realized was that my "memories" would fade over time. So, I set out documenting things like the boxes and boxes of photos we had accumulated over the years. I re-evaluated my "bucket list" to see how many things I could accomplish and realized that I had short (Source: Dealing with Alzheimer's Blog)

Weird Week
It's been a weird week. I seem to be about a step behind in everything I do. I'm very unsettled and I don't do well when I am. And, I can't pinpoint the problem, it just happens. I have a lot on my mind and since my mind doesn't function properly, it's like these things get stuck in my mind and there is no room for everything else to go into it. The things on my mind are weighing heavily on (Source: Dealing with Alzheimer's Blog)

This and That
I have lots of things to write about but I'm having one of those days where I can't get what is in my brain to the keyboard. So, probably most of it will have to wait.
But, I wanted to tell you that you may be seeing lots of information in the next few days about Alzheimer's research. The Alzheimer's Association is hosting their annual Research conference in Boston and it brings people from (Source: Dealing with Alzheimer's Blog)

My friend Chris
I mentioned a few posts back about a few friends who are dealing with some major medical issues. One of those people, my friend Chris D. Is battling stage four colon cancer. I have known Chris for about fifteen years. We met through a professional organization. She lives in Atlanta so I don't see her too often. But, we have lots of things in common. Chris is a lot of things but "fighter" (Source: Dealing with Alzheimer's Blog)

Bad luck
Isn't there a saying that says if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck? Now I have a cold and a fever of 101, that is keeping me from pounding the pavement. This too shall pass. (Source: Dealing with Alzheimer's Blog)

The first running of the Peachtree
This morning, my daughter-in-law and I did the Peachtree course. I walked most of the way and she ran most of the wait. she was kind enough to wait up for me in spots, so I defintely slowed her down. But we did 6.5 miles in 1:45. My goal is to finish in two hours so if I can hold to that I should be o.k. I have a few more weeks to train. thanks to Jen for going with me.
