WOMEN AGES 50 + FOR SEPTEMBER 2015

Did 1-1/4 hr of Extremely Ripped and Chiseled DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do an extreme cardio DVD.
Exercised then powerwashed one more section of the driveway. Now I just have one more to do and I'm DONE. Then went to Aldi, home and then to the farmer's market. Unfortunately, the lady didn't have much okra. Actually, it was probably for the best since I hopefully will get a little more room in my freezer by the time next week rolls around. Went in the pool, came in and made these cookies for the son of the family who is coming over Sun. for dinner. Had dinner, now here.
Denise and Pete are coming here not this weekend but the following. At first I was a bit taken aback by her coming so close to Vince's surgery, but then I realized it was also because she's afraid "what if something happens?" I did call her and she promised she'd be here for Christmas Eve. I told her my main concern is that she'd feel that she didn't need to come for Christmas since she came in September. Denise said they are leaving after Pete gets off work on Thurs at midnight, which means they'll get here around 9-9:30 Friday. AHHHH...to youth. Then they're going to leave Sun in time for him to go to work at midnight. Well, we do the drive all in one day, but not after putting in a full day of work!
Lillian - happy vacation. Tell us where you wind up
Maryann in MI - WTG with those capris
DJ - the sign is 18-1/2 tall by 13 wide. Like I said, it's a biggie!
Welcome everyone new
Vicki - do you now that I just logged into my homepage and my daily counter went up 4 (four) days?
Mindy - so glad your first day went so good
Polly - so sorry about your son, glad you're getting back to you
terri - I usually pack my own groceries. It seems that whenever I go, the person just throws everything in any old bag that I have. Well, I have some that are extra heavy so they are good for canned goods, heavy items. Then I have other bags that I got for free and you get what you pay for. These are good for things like cereal, bread, lighter things. But the kids in the store just grab a bag and start loading it down. I don't want all the heavy items in one bag unless it's a heavy, smaller bag. So I many times bag my own groceries. Happy early birthday!
pip - great news that you have a date for your surgery
Vince was saying how he's concerned about his surgery and he's started making up a document of all the things that he does around the house that I'll need to do. Guess I just have faith and it's my faith that is keeping me on the brighter side
Heather - yea for you!!!!
Becca - I lately find that if I go to one of those "all you can eat buffet", I can't eat enough to get my money's worth. That suit looks so pretty
Micheller - I totally agree with you. I don't find it at all motivating to see a pic of someone flexing their biceps or trying to look like a runway model. I like that everyone here is a real person, gone thru a lot. I don't think I could manage to keep my weight down if I were a cook...I hand it to you
DeeDee - take it from me, it isn't just dogs who pester you at feeding time
Lisa - great news that your replacement is going to work out
drkatiebug - two old farts eating beanies?....ROTF
Sylvia - you couldn't get a better NSV if you tried. Fantastic!!!
pip - what a thank you! I'm very impressed that they send that

Polly: Welcome back. I like your goals, especially the creative one. I am so sorry to hear about your son's illness. Cancer is a frightening diagnosis and there are many kinds of cancer. I hope it is one that can be successfully treated. :flowerforyou:
Mparker and Pip: NSV means Non Scale Victory. Examples could be lots of different things so I'll list a few: Smaller clothes, more energy, a compliment from someone, achieving an athletic or personal goal...
Pip: I'm glad you have a surgery date. It will be nice to get it over with and get on with healing and life. :flowerforyou:
Heather: You've been victorious by being a chauffer after dark and keeping within your food goals. Very big success! Congratulations! :flowerforyou:
Becca: Nice suit for $8! You got a great deal. The elk in the yard look like they own the place. They probably figure the people who live there are the hired help. :bigsmile: Thanks for sharing the photo. :flowerforyou:
Newbies: Welcome to a great group. Stick around and get to know people. :flowerforyou:
I had a personal best in spin class today. I managed to ride in the up position hovering over the saddle with the group nearly all the time the class did! I am very pleased. I usually am not able to keep up this well. It feels as though I am making progress strengthening my weak knee. :bigsmile:

I'm not sure I told you that my DBIL had to go from the rehab center back to the hospital last week. He is having donor/host rejection from the stem cell transplant. Today they biopsied his lungs and he has MRSA. Does not look good. My sis had to call 911 tonight as she had a temp of 102 and now has a bladder infection she thinks. My niece in Denver is trying to get a flight out there as soon as possible.
Janetr OKC0 -
Heather - Way to go. It can be very hard to force yourself to do things we aren't comfortable with. Glad you managed just fine on the drive home. Good job on staying under calories
Becca - You my dear are a free spirit, so beautiful. I love polka dots and bought (on purpose) a blue suit with white polka dots just this summer. You look very nice in it.
Lisa - Glad you found someone that you think will work out as manager. Have you had the Charge HR long enough to know how you like it? I wanted the Charge but went with the Flex because it was the only one they waterproof that I could find, and I go to the pool almost every week day. Glad things will settle down for you soon. I miss your entertaining posts
Micheller1210 - I wish I did something to get in that many steps, lol. I'm having quite a bit of pain in my left knee and just not walking and exercising like I had been and I feel it. Been struggling with my eating too. I have knee replacement surgery the 29th of Sept. hopefully I can get back on schedule after that. So glad you have joined us. Remember, baby steps and persistence. It will come.
Beth - Yes, my step-daughter was the one asking. One time his son told my daughter, I like your Mom, but what about my inheritance. Ugh. If I ever heard one of my daughters ever say something like that I'd wring their neck. Parents do not have to leave their children anything, and at this point, that's about what they will be getting. lol I can certainly identify with kids growing up too fast. My oldest grandson turned 22 in August. I am still just blown away!!!
Sylvia _ Wow and wow again. Nothing better than for people to be stunned when they see you. I'm bursting with pride right along with your dear hubby. Way to go, sweetie!!!!
Pip - Beautiful potted arrangement, good job Y!!
Janetr OKC0 -
Carol NC: CRS .. story of my life. Thanks!
Katla: Hope you enjoy the hot stone massage.
I've only been able to quickly skim the posts.. healing angels to all who need them and kudos to those of you with NSV's. Aren't they the best kind!
Welcome to everyone new.

I'm sorry to hear that your family are going through such trying situations with their health. I will be praying for you and your family.
Carey- have fun camping!
Have a good night everyone!
Mary from Minnesota0 -
Carey - Long weekend here in the U.S. also. Guess Labor Day is the same both places. Have fun camping.
Mary from MN - Thanks so much for the prayers. I worry about my sister when her husband goes. She so dependent on him, she's never worked outside the home and he has always done absolutely everything for her. Sometimes I'm thankful I had to be so independent for so many years.
Janetr OKC.0 -
I haven't posted in a while. I just started back on this page and I know I have missed so much with all of you.
Pip - That is a very lovely planter.
Joyce - Hugs and prayers to you. Faith is a great comfort. I wish I could wrap you up in a big old bear hug. You are such a strong woman.
Janetr - Sending prayers for your DBIL and your sister. It is hard for some women to be independent but your sister might surprise you.
Carey - Enjoy your camping. I'm not sure why we stopped going on long weekends. Probably because I work most of them.
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. So much going on at work. This restructuring is B.S just say you are trying to push higher paid people with seniority and 5 weeks of vacation out the door. Trying to get my ducks in a row so I can run for the door. Meanwhile I still have a job to do and I will do it to the best of my ability; not through any sense of loyalty but because I know no other way.
Sister is officially moved to Lethbridge. She is enjoying it even though her furniture has not arrived yet. She helped me with DGD while I went to Dr. and weight loss nurse. The scale grudgingly went down 1 pound. Doc is putting me on junuvia? in combination with the metformin. He doesn't like an A1C of 11.
A lot to accomplish in this coming week.
I've been thinking about my goals for Sept. Trying to keep them simple as we will be in Richmond babysitting youngest GS while the rest are gone to Montreal and New York.
#1 Keeping my head above water and not letting life overwhelm me to the point of inertia
#2 Lavishing love on DGS for 2 weeks. I want him to bond with us like the others have. He is going into Kindergarten and not impressed with that at all.
#3 Write in my gratitude journal every day.
#4 Keep walking
#5 Make time for fun.
#6 Better meal planning.
I should stop because I am trying to keep it simple. Lol

morning all...
slept until around midnight then was awake for 2 hrs then fell asleep again for a couple of hrs. my foot is still bothering me am going to ice it...have a load of laundry in the wash... and will get it in the dryer.... before i go see DFIL then to work....0 -
Worst month in terms of performing against my goals...
August Goals: Weigh less at the end of August than I did at the end of July. (weighed 176 on July 31, 173 on Aug 31)
Get back to running or exercising in some way at LEAST three days a week. (Not so much - once or twice at best, two weeks not at all)
Enjoy vacation to Montana. (Did!)
Don't let the consulting job sap every minute of my life. Get back to balance. (Didn't get back to balance, but the vacation helped a lot)
Log every day. (Only missed one...)
Keep my calories under my burn level every day. (SEVEN days I blew that... *sigh*)
September Goals:- Weigh less at the end of September than I did at the end of August.
- Run three days a week minimum (get on a schedule again).
- Bring balance back, start adding warehouse into my thinking.
- Log every calorie every day!
- Keep my calories under 1500 every day.

Morning everybody! So many people comment about the 10,000 steps that it makes me want to get another pedometer, but I have had so much bad luck with them. They all seem to break rather quickly--mainly the plastic hook-on parts. Does anybody have a really good quality one they recommend that stays on and really works well? Also it is hard for me to find one that works with dresses--no place to hook! And I still like dresses for work because they are comfy but I like to walk during lunchtime. I know I could duct tape one to my body but yuck LOL.
Betty WNY0 -
Morning, afternoon, evening all...
It's going to be an interesting day. The current crew chief ended up going home sick last night... on the first day's work of the person who's going to be her new manager. She may well have been ill--I was already back at the ranch, and didn't see her. But now I'm wondering if she's going to show up at all this morning. If not, instead of doing what I need to be doing, I'll be training the new manager on the stuff she does, as well as the stuff I do... *sigh* Nothing ever comes easy.
Anyway--to catch up all of y'all who have only seen cryptic posts from me of late... I started at a local restaurant on a maximum 12-week contract as a turnaround/operations consultant on July 17. It was... well, let's just say it was in bad shape. I wouldn't eat there for the first two weeks I was there because it was so filthy, and I was only given a half day to shut it down and bring the whole set of employees in to do a deep clean. The manager was removed from the restaurant about five days after I began, still working for the company, but not in the restaurant.
Here we are 7 weeks later, and the restaurant is clean--but only staying that way because I developed checklists and hold people to them. Finally found the possible manager (was a convenience store manager for 14 years) to take over the place, but at the GM's request, started her at crew chief so she learns that job. It also gives the present crew chief something to shoot for... but the present crew chief told me yesterday she thought she'd stay right where she is--doesn't want to step up even to assistant manager.
Now, I respect her reasons, and they're legit, but they honestly don't show her as potential manager or even assistant manager. I'm pretty sure she won't last too long with the new manager if she doesn't step up. I hate that a lot, but this is where I pull the consultant card, as in, I've got six more weeks to finish getting the computer system in shape (at best, if they don't yank me out immediately now there's a new manager), and the personnel issues are now or very shortly will be out of my hands. I have to get shed of those in order to have the time to get this system modified as necessary.
However, I'm going to stick my head in the GM's office this morning and offer to step out now and let the new manager sink or swim. It would save them $6,000 (I'm charging them a $1,000 a week, half my ordinary cost.) I think she'll swim, but I also think it will be a while before she gets her head above water enough to start improving things.
It's really up to them what they want to do--but he's getting busted by corporate because I had to get a number of folks up to full-time work schedules to settle things down at the restaurant. Permanent part-time people are almost never permanent, and I needed that crew of people who are here all the time. I got it--but he's paying the cost. Getting rid of my cost would heal up some of that... and wouldn't be the first time I've fired myself.
Okay, enough rambling.
Just thought I'd catch y'all up on the "Restaurant Impossible," saga...

Congrats for the NSV and scale victories. So sorry for all that have struggles.
I have great news. My son's Section 8 Housing Assistance voucher showed up at the Iowa City Housing Authority yesterday! The jerk in Boulder Colorado FINALLY did his job! So today I take my son in to Iowa City, and hopefully he will be in his apartment within a week or so! Yippee! Such a relief for him.
Also I get my grandkids for two nights! We have so much fun since they adore my girls and vice versa.
Very close to being done with the apartment. The carpet gets cleaned this weekend. The fellow doing it will contact me for the key. I have a small bit of painting left, just two small walls in the kitchen.
My eating has been horrible. I am a stress eater, and having my son living here is very stressful at times. And he does not eat healthy so there is more junk in the house than normal to graze on. E><cuses, I know. This too, shall pass.0 -

Betty I use a Fitbit. I like it a lot. Better than a pedometer.
Maryann in Michigan0 -
Pip love the planter.
Janetr prayer for your family.
Sharon sorry job is so stressful right now.
Miriam so glad your son got what he needed to move to his own apartment. Enjoy those grand kids.
Michele I have one okra plant made it in my garden, and it is just starting to plant fruit. I like okra in soups. You don't see it as much up here in Minnesota, but you do down in St. Louis.
It looks like our DS will be in an inpatient treatment program. He went on a major alcohol binge that help create his current
problems. Hopefully the program can work break through his denial. I am not a drinker, but unfortunately problems with alcohol run on my side of the family and on DH's. DH also fortunately does not have a drinking problem. I just went out to lunch with a friend at a cafe called DaybyDay Gayle informed me this is run by and staffed by those with problems with alcohol. As a family we to are learning to take it one day at a time.
I am hoping to make a trip to St. Louis soon to see my mom and meet my new grand nephew. That is why I had my car get a through inspection and I did get a new battery. The old one was four years on a five year battery. After the battery dying on DS#2 car I did not want to take any chances. It is a 9 to 10 hour drive.0 -
I am new to the forum but not new to my fitness pal. I've been away for some time and trying to get back into the swing of things. I live in Ontario Canada and looking for some motivation and support. I currently have no friends in my list as I had to re-sign up as something happened to my other account. I am 50+ with a yucky knee that has to be replaced and have had the other knee done already. My fitness level is very low and I haven't tracked my food in some time. I don't like to put a number on it really but I'm looking to lose about 100 pounds.
I did my first walk this morning was 15 minutes I was pretty proud of myself it wasn't too hot this morning but this afternoon supposed to get hot again we will see maybe I will try to get out again and do another walk. Maybe I can get Hubby to go with me ha ha Ha.
Feel free to add me to your friends list. I am quite supportive and motivational once I get going.
Have a lovely, productive day and hope to hear from some of you soon.
Colleen in Ontario0 -
JanetR: I'm so sorry your DBIL is in such a bad health crisis, and that your sister is now sick, too. I hope things turn around for both of them. I hope your own knee replacement goes well and that you are able to feel better very quickly. :flowerforyou:
Lisa: I'm in awe of all that you do. You are clearly a motivated and energetic woman. :flowerforyou:
Miriam: Congratulations for your son and for you! I hope he will be comfortable and happy in his new apartment. Enjoy your grandchildren. :flowerforyou:
Margaret: I hope your DS does well in the inpatient treatment program. Alcohol is one of the toughest addictions to conquer because there are so many social situations where it is available.
DH has agreed to go with me to CO to visit DD and the grandchildren. This is a major victory and I am so pleased. We need to make reservations in the hotel in CO. Other stops are less critical. Today is filled with things to do. Most of the items are a joy. I have yoga this morning and riding lesson this afternoon. In between we're both getting haircuts. We're still trying to find a carpenter to replace the door to our deck storage room. No call back so far. :noway: In the old days, DH would have done the job with my help. Not possible now and it is tough to find good help. I do not have the needed carpentry skills. Thank goodness. :laugh:

Sylvia, it's not possible to lose weight motivated only by the positive comments of others which is what makes the comments from your friends so precious....congrats on you NSV. Katla, congrats on your success on the spin bike....that is very challenging exercise Margaret, I'm glad to hear that your son will be going to treatment. I hope he'll embrace A.A. when he gets out and that you'll do the same with Al-Anon. Sharon, I write in my gratitude journal every morning as part of my breakfast routine...it gets my day off to a positive start. Betty, I have an Omron pedometer that can be carried in my pocket. Many of the dresses I used to wear when I worked had pockets Miriam, I hope things work out for your son's housing so you can get back to your healthy routine.

Happy Friday ! ! !
Welcome to Everyone New !
Bkrimpet – Congrats on your Loss.
Pip – Hooray for the confirmed surgery date, and for being the first surgery of that day. // Beautiful plant
Jane – Hugs for your daughter and her abnormal labs!
Cheri – Yes, look at your inches or the fit of clothing while lifting, not the scale. You Can Do It ! ! !
Heather – Congrats on conquering all the struggles of last evening !
Becca – It’s so nice to hear of a teenage boy that enjoys school for the learning, not just the gym classes and friends. I’m sure he will go far !
Drkatiebug – ROFL !
Beth – Hugs for your emotional day. I hope it came to a pleasant conclusion.
Sylvia – Congrats on your Wonderful NSV ! ! !
Katla – congrats on the NSV at spin class !
Janetr – Hugs and Prayers for your family ! ! !
Beth, Janetr, etc re: Inheritance - Uuugggh is right. My Mom’s relatives are similar. Her brother, sisters, and nieces actually went around the house with post-it notes and “claimed” the items they want upon the death of both of my parents. Since their rudeness regarding my sister’s death 1.5 years ago, and their rudeness regarding my Mom’s death 5 years ago, they have since “disowned” me, so I’m not giving them a single thing, period ! What makes anyone think they “deserve” anything at all ?
Carey – It is Labor Day Weekend for the U.S. too. I have off work Monday, but DH will probably work, because the CEO’s will all be gone, so he can service their A/C units and get paid overtime.
Sharon – Hugs for your job, and your A1C. I hope you see improvements for both.
Beth – I have an iPhone with an app that tracks my steps, flights of stairs, and distance. There are arm bands to keep things close to the body without duct tape. Keep trying, you will find what works best for you.
Miriam – Congrats on your son’s housing voucher. What a relief !
Margaret – Hugs for your family, and your son !
I made the reservations for Mt Olympus in Wisconsin Dells. 2 queen beds + a cot and 5 waterpark passes for $85.00 total (including tax). Now, just food and beverage to be added. We will probably get there after park closes tonight (wait for everyone to finish work, and expecting bad traffic). But, we can stay as long as we want on Saturday. DD grudgingly agreed to come alone (she doesn't like going anywhere alone). I'm looking forward to some bonding time with her. Please pray or send me vibes for peace, since she is quite depressed right now, and I struggle being tolerant when she acts that way. Maybe I'll take her to the Casino for a little tonight. I'm going to bring my Henna kit - she is an AMAZING artist. She really loves giving tattoos, but I'm not ready for that.
E-mailed from my Dad : on this date in 1957 the Ford Edsel was introduced.
Thought you might like to know that.
Time to get a little work done before the long weekend . . .
Hugs for Everyone ! ! !
Terri in Milwaukee0 -
Margaret. I love okra- growing up in Tennessee is probably the reason, but it is also wonderful in Indian dishes. The flowers are so pretty that I plant the seeds among my perennials and no one knows it is a veggie! They do best if started indoors, but that is always a challenge for me with all the cats. LOL0
-
morning peeps-
exermom - you crack me up asking me about where's the cheerios... i usually will eat the steel cut oats in the morning and that's only 1/4 cup so it takes me awhile to get thru that. after i finish the bag then i might buy some cheerios but i gotta finish the other bag first and right now i am a lil over half way done.
I was talking to a lady at the gym and come to find out she is a physical therapist. then when I told her what was happening to me I told her who the doc was and she said, he's good. she said that depending on the procedure he may or may not have me do physical therapy which was interesting.

Good morning, good September!
I want to lose 5 lbs this month.
Started at 180, now 178.30 -
Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Morning Ladies,
Pip, what a nice thank you gift.
Michele, we used to drive 18 ½ hours straight through when we were in our 20’s and early 30’s and I’m sure you did similar things. As great as we might feel now, there are just some things that aren’t meant for us mature bodies.
Ya know, we are all aware that things can happen at any time and this can always be our last day on earth, but I’m with you in that I have to believe that the best will happen. If we always look for the worst, what a sad way to live. I don’t think it’s bad for Vince to try to have you be prepared but I hope he’s not dwelling on the negative. Sending prayers and hugs for you both!
Katla, a big congrats on your riding victories. I see some of those classes and can’t even imagine hanging with them. You have to be pleased and should!!
Janetr, so sorry for your DS and DBIL. That is so scary. Will send prayers for all. Sorry your knee is keeping you from the exercise you’d like to get but glad the surgery is scheduled soon. You do know there are lots of chair exercises that you could do. You Tube has some pretty good ones you might want to try. I know you are ready to get both knees working together and it won’t be long.
Carey, hope you have a terrific camping trip. I hope all of us have a great weekend. Labor Day in the US is our last Summer Fling, but here in Myrtle Beach they advertise two more months of summer. Woo Hoo
Sharon, work stress can really put a damper on life. Try to keep it in its place and enjoy the other things you have going. I hope the new meds work for you! That A1C does sound like it needs work. How long until you are thinking of retiring? Enjoy those grands. They will be in college before you know it.
Lisa, your restaurant as in life, never has a dull moment. It will be interesting to see what happens next. For the sake of the new manager, I hope they keep you on a bit longer. I mean, talk about “sink or swim” and her background isn’t even restaurants. I do believe a good manager can manage anything, but there will definitely be a learning curve. Good luck.
MNMargaret, I do hope you get to go to St Louis and have a wonderful trip. Glad you got the car checked out first. There is nothing worse than car problems on the road.
Colleen, welcome. You will find lots of support as well as interesting information in this group of ladies. I think you should be proud of your walk this morning. Many of us have had to start with “baby steps” and some of our ladies are exercise pros. Come often and join right in.
Katla, I’m so happy your DH is planning the trip with you. Woo Hoo. I am very handy around the house but I too don’t have the skills to replace a door, nor do I want them. Good luck finding someone. Have you tried Craig’s List?
Terri, glad you got the reservations set. Sounds like a deal! Sending the very best thoughts and wishes for an enjoyable time with DD. It can be so hard dealing with depression. Big Hugs to you! Have a fabulous weekend.
Pip, that is interesting about maybe not doing PT. I can’t imagine but then what do I know?
to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
I slept a little over an hour longer than normal this morning. I don’t know what that was about but that is one of the thigs I love about being retired. I can do it. I made more bran muffins yesterday which is what I normally have for breakfast. Today I want to get a little done around the house. I think Monday we will go to the Moose club for their Labor Day cook out. It’s just a nice social time and you get Hamburgers, Hotdogs or Sausage (Like Brats) and sides all for $5.00. We can’t hardly heat up our grill for that.
I do hope all of you have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. And be sure to Eat healthy.
Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
I Love you,
DJ

Well here it is Friday already. I work the weekend and have Monday and Tuesday off. Last evening we went to the State Fair and did a lot of walking. Got my steps plus some it was plenty warm but a nice breeze.. The Concert last evening was sold out and the Newsboys did an fantastic concert. So glad we went, even if I have a sore thoart this morning.
Minday--One Day at a time and it will get easier.
Annie/PA--I know I got so excited the first time I could cross my legs. Find myself doing it a lot.
Polly--Sorry to hear about your son. Sending prayers and hugs.
Heather--Congrates on your NSV. Proud of you.
Becca--Love the picture of the Elk. The suite looks fine and for $8.
Lisa--Sounds like things are falling into place. Hope you like the HR charge. I thought about getting one,
Janetr--We have a son that everytime we get something he will say when you are gone I want that. I keep telling him I plan to use everything until I die and then they can fight over it. He is getting better, but I let him know how I feel about it. My dad told us that he raised us and that is all he owed us. I agree, I had a co worker a couple years ago that him and his wife lived like they were on their last dollar so they could leave each of their two daughters half a millon dollars each. How dumb, I kept telling him that would not make them love them anymore and once the money was gone then what. Sorry to hear your DS and DBIL. sending prayers.
Sylvia--Very good NSV.
pip--pretty plant, nice gift.
Carey--hope you enjoy your long weekend. We have the long weekend here and I work Saturday and Sunday. But Monday DH and I are planning to take off for the day on the motorcycle.
Sharon--Remember One Day at a Time. AC1 of 11 is pretty high, I am surprised they didn't want to start you on shots. Hope the new med helps. I take metformin twice a day and that has been working well for me.
Miriam--Great news about SD and his paperwork coming in. Hope the rest of getting him into his apartment goes smooth.
Terri--Pray your weekend goes well and you and DD have bonding time.
I am off at one today and going out to meet my friend Lee for lunch. Then tonight we have our monthly CMA meeting so have to get the agenda printed out this afternoon. Wish I could just go home and take a nap, not going to happen. Enjoy your weekend ladies and will check in tomorrow.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND--NE0 -

Becca – I think the polka dot swimsuit looks good on you. What a great bargain. Love the picture of the elk. They look so at home there.
Sylvia – Hooray for your NSV!!
Miriam – HOORAY!!!! I wanted to shout out an actual cheer but since I am at work I settled for a fist bump up in the air. I was so delighted to read that your son has the voucher he needs to get into his new home. So happy for both of you. I’m sure that is a big relief. The cherry on top is that your son benefits from all the hard work you have put into the apartment.
Terri in Milwaukee – Sending you wishes for some good bonding time with your daughter. May you find yourself filled with an abundance of patience, insight and may you find just the right words when needed.
