Im pretty comfortable with 5 lbs in each hand and feel I am getting sculpting results. Hey, glad youre over that and you got some good care. I am going for outpatient surgery to the left eye next week. Excited about my new eyes. The right one is so clear, I dont need reading glasses. Keep getting better.......0

Glad to hear the eye surgery has gone well! Reading In the Woods and finding it intriguing. What is everyone else reading?0

Just back from 5 days of babysitting. Nice to have the quiet and my own bed.
M - you have been through the ringer. I hope recovery is swift and you will back in the swing of things soon.
L - glad you have had such a success with your eye surgery. I remember when my husband had it done, he was amazed with the result.
I will pick up In the Woods...so we can soon compare notes. I do like the atmosphere the author creates.0 -
Hi all, I'm excited to go to the doctor tomorrow, I'm hoping I get cleared to start driving again. This op has been easier to recover from than the previous one. Actually, I'm still recovering from the first one, too. I'm so ready to feel 100% again, and I think doing more fun stuff is the ticket! I have to get down to business, too. My lease expired, and I'm month-to-month, which is way more expensive. I want to pare down while I'm recovering so I can have an easier move. I'm going to make looking for a new place a fun activity.
L - best of luck with your eye surgery this week. Clear skies ahead!
M - I'm with you with sleeping in your own bed, nothing is better after a trip. What is your next adventure?
In the Woods is good, very good, so far. I'm about 100 pages into it. I'm assuming that we have already been introduced to the killer, so I'm enjoying trying to figure out who did it. I think I know, but we'll see....

Hey, Mary. So good to hear you sounding so upbeat. I think you are right, making whatever we do an adventure helps us move ahead. It is something I have to remember in changing for the better. My adventures have been minor ones mostly traveling within the Bay Area to see grandchildren. I do have a summer trip planned...my first solo outing...more about that later as I am still working on it.
I am so glad you are liking the book. I am reading it for the second time and still think Tana French is a really good author. Enjoy.
Stay well you two wounded soldiers. M0 -
Hey all, they cancelled my other eye surgery til next month which is ok as my right eye is still recovering but my vision keeps getting better. I cant believe the color and details I have been missing and I dont have to wear reading glasses. I think I have already read In the Woods, maybe not anyhow. I think I can get back on track this month or next if anyone wants to suggest a May book. I am doing well, working out 5 days a week- going on my first ziplining trip on May 17. Yikes. And also have joined a bunch of friends that play tennis everyday so I am really happy these days. I have started a book called "The Afterlife of Billy Fingers" and will probably be done with it quickly as it is very short.
Mary- hope you are doing well and thanks for the considerate thoughts- yes CLEAR skies
M- where are you going on a solo outing???0 -
Lenore...You sound so full of energy. Glad to hear your happy voice is back. Exercise is great medicine!!! Your vision recovery is great.
I have a suggestion for May...The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka has long been on my list. Well reviewed and the fact that it is short...we can all get on the same page. Recently been to Locke...Mary do you know it?
Travel will be in the Mid West. I have never been. The Great Lakes, etc0 -
Lenore - sounds like you have some fun times ahead; very nice.
M - Oh yes, I've driven past Locke many times, but I've never actually visited Locke. What did you think of it? Are you going to visit the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island? I would be so jealous if you did.
I'm on board with The Buddha in the Attic.0 -
Ok I will get the Buddha in the Attic; sounds good. I reread my post and I realized Im only doing workouts almost everyday not working out and playing tennis; one or the other. But YES, my depression has lifted. I am not fighting with it as long as I hit the gym almost everyday. And people are noticing me and I feel proud to be so strong. Still working on the weight. Some days I have an easy workout like today- I am going to yoga. Tough but very good for stretching. Sounds like a fun trip to the Midwest. I am helping my daughter finish engineering school and so moneys tight for us but we might try a florida keys trip this summer. Already been there 15 or 20 times but still find it awe inspiringly beautiful.0

Locke was interesting. I had read this book called, Water Ghosts years ago and as I walked the main street it came flooding back. A sidebar of Ca. history and glad I went. Driving around the Delta is lovely. I don't know about the Grand Hotel, I am staying about an hour and a half away but as a house guest I don't know the plans. I have always wanted to see the Florida keys that sounds like a great trip. I think in this economy we all have to help our kids. L. you inspired me to work out a lot today, I have been kind of depressed for a few days and it made me feel better. M. How are you doing with In the Woods? Wonder if you guessed the killer correctly.0
-
I'm almost finished with In the Woods. I think I did guess the killer correctly, unless something changes; but I haven't figured out the older crime. I have a feeling there may be a twist at the end. I love driving around the Delta, too. I drove to the keys only once so far; it is a wonderful trip. Both the Delta and the Keys are unique and beautiful, but very different from each other. I feel very lucky to have seen both. Any thoughts on the new changes to MFP? I'm a bit afraid it might not be free for much longer; or that it will become too annoying to use the free version.0
-
I hope MFP doesnt change too much.. what are they planning?0
-
I keep getting a pop-up asking me to try MFP Premium for $9.99 a month. Also, I'm getting ads mixed in with my friends status feed; as if the ad is another friend. Are you not seeing these things? From what I can tell, Under Armour bought out MFP in February. Now they're offering the premium version for $10 a month or $50 a year. And, they are adding more annoying ads to everyone's feed, but offering the ad-free version in the Premium subscription. So, my guess is they will make the free MFP gradually more annoying with ads, and perhaps take away some features, until everyone gives up and pays the money. I'm sorry to see this happen. So many people have told me that their doctor or nutritionist recommended this site to them, so MFP has profited from all this great free referral business, but now it has the potential to become a bait and switch situation. Of course, I hate change to begin with. But, can you imagine paying for this service, when you think of how you have to search through a food database with all those inaccurate listings? They should have started some kind of quality control with that database before they asked people to pay, in my opinion.0

How is every one doing?0

Hey all, just doing great and you?
I finished the Buddha in the Attic in one afternoon. On to some other books I have checked out. Dont know how much reading I will want to do after May 26 when I get my next eye surgery. Yes the databases are ridculous on the site but it has really helped me stay on track overall. I dont see any popups but maybe theyre blocked on this computer0
