Slept in today and am fine with a late start to errands. I'll keep the run minimal because tomorrow's the first day of school here and stores will probably be busy.
Bert, fingers crossed for tomorrow's continuation of Fridgegate. Tell them we will all converge and yell at them if they don't give you a fancy new fridge NOW!
Patti, thinking of you with your mom - Tuesdays rock.
Cindy, loved the fire pit pic on FB - where was that?
Diane, will probably go to Arches National Park next week - any suggestions for a quick visit?
Waving hi to Paula and Karla (hope Kerry is doing well).
Much to do here - leaving for Idaho very early Thursday and I'll be gone until the 22nd. Cat sitter will come daily - need to arrange everything for her. I fly out and will stay with one of James's sisters; he and I will rent a car and drive home over a few days. Looking forward to seeing mountains and meeting James's sisters and other family. He considers me his "third sister" and says they're looking forward to meeting me as well. Ready for adventure! So I may not be able to check in often, but know that you're all in my heart every day.0 -
Janet: I love your terminology! Fridgegate! 😂. I’m really hoping he won’t show on Friday as then it will automatically go to replacement. Believe me. I’m not telling them anything. He will have to check his orders (assuming they will tell him). The last time he was here (July 9) he had no clue why they sent him! 😉
Have fun In Idaho. I’ve never been there, but I bet it’s beautiful.
Patti: Hope you had a great day with your mom.1 -
Good Morning, Ladies. Mike and I got the "weed" bed framed out with the edger I bought. I cleared most of the weeds out ant put down some weed fabric. He shoveled the leftover rock and we have portion of it done. We will take out the rest of the Tiger Lilies and finish out the area with fabric and rock in the spring. I'm so happy to get this area addressed as it has been neglected for years.
I'm heading to the gym this morning and will take a "day off". I'll sweep the pool this afternoon and then float.
Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning, it is going to be a nice day. Lunch with the girls then work. A few business things to take care of here but nothing too taxing, lol. Had a lovely time with Mom, as always. She has an eye appointment tomorrow so I will be up early to take her. We still need to get our labs drawn but that will have to wait until next week. She hates going out of the house so once a week is enough.
After much soul searching I decided to cancel my WW account. I have not been tracking, have not really made a connection with the leader or anyone in my workshop. Am maintaining my weight but know I need to be more focused and involved to see the scales move. Just seems like a waste of money when I am not following the plan. I don't feel the meetings inspire me and there really isn't anything I haven't heard before being talked about by the leader or the members. I lost most of my weight last time doing online only, so I know it is a ME thing. I am NOT giving up on me, just saving some money while I figure out what I need to do to get my mind where it needs to be, meetings aren't the answer I thought they would be.
Bert, I am hoping the technician doesn't show. You deserve a new fridge just for the hassle of the whole thing. A rock garden sounds like it is just up my alley! Enjoy your float time.
Janet, enjoy your trip. I have never been to Idaho either but it is on the list for our next long bike trip. Just not sure when that will be. Be safe and have fun.
Hi to all

In town so I have some cell service. Quick answer for Janet. The drive through Arches is great. If you are up for a short but steep walk, Delicate Arch is spectacular. You can see it from a viewpoint but not as well. There are lots of very short easy walks to good views. Other interesting points in the area are Dead Horse state park and Islands in the Sky area of Canyonlands NP. Again, easy strolls to viewpoints. Moab is your gateway town for all three, and has a great brew pub there which I can’t remember the name of right now. Another place I really like is Capital Reef NP, which may be sort of on your way. Two very separate zones, Fruita the town where settlers had orchards (and you can pick and things are probably ripe now!j petroglyphs just a boardwalk from the parking lot, and spectacular scenery from the drive through. No lodging in the park but a gateway town right near.
Driving out of town so will post this so I don’t lose it. Hello to all!0 -
Janet go to the visitor centers at all the parks! Very interesting and informative.0

Good morning friends.
I think the new level of thyroid medication is finally starting to kick in. I am starting to relax and not be so fatigued. Today is work on my bedroom day. Every time I clean out something in Kerry’s or my dad’s room it ends up I my room until I decide what to do with it. Lol.
Diane- You and John are having the time of your life seeing all the wonders of our fine country. Your photos are breathtaking. When Glenn and I went on our three week cross country trip in 2017 I was very much amazed at Utah, Colorado and Arizona. We plan another big trip once Glenn retired again. Lol.
Patti- I’m still paying for meetings and not going too now that you mention iit. One of my girlfriends has made Lifetime that joined back in February. I need to get back on the wagon as I have gained with this thyroid issue and stress going on. I’m proud of you for getting to 190 lady. You can move forward on your own, I have faith in you.
Janet- Kerry is doing well and went with me to my CT scan yesterday. We then went to the Dollar Store and Goodwill. He loves those two stores. I know you will have a wonderful trip meeting James’ family and a fun road trip on the way back. I’m so glad you have him.
Paula- I hope your body is treating you well. I can surely relate sometimes. I can hardly wait for you to move into your new custom home.
Bert- Yes, I like FridgeGate too! Sears really went downhill when the Kmart family took them over in our area. Best wishes for tomorrow. Your yard is really getting a makeover.
I better get back to my room. Cindy, I hope all is well with you and Rick. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care of your body and soul. None of us are getting any younger, but we can get better!

Babysitting, cooking, cleaning and home renovations is what my life has become lol. Eating is horrible but planning to get it back under control. Kitchen is coming together. Wish I could get it all into one shot but it's 19' x 10 ft so it's impossible. Tomorrow we'll finish the countertops and backsplash then finish sanding and get ready for paint.
I'll read posts and reply tomorrow. This mamaw needs sleep.

Good Morning, Ladies. Today's the day! Sears serviceman is to arrive to deem the fridge unrepairable. We shall see. Hopefully this will be the end of Fridgegate! I'm hoping so after a 3 month battle!
I'm callng for an appointment today for my shoulder. It hasn't gotten better, so I'm hoping he can give me an injection to settle it down. Had a rough night sleeping again, too. I just can't seem to get the position I want without my shoulder reacting. It's always something.
Campus Students start classes on Monday. The education department is trying really hard to get the computer programs redone to avoid any problems. I went over on Wednesday to have my courses "fixed". We shall see.
Paula: Love the cabinets and backsplash!
Have a great day, everyone!
Bert0 -
Newsflash! The fridge is unrepairable and had an internal leak! 🤦♀️. Sears is to call within 3-5 business days for replacement procedures. Needless to say, we are calling on Monday as we have had too much experience with being told they will call us.0
-
Bert- great news. Now the follow through!
Paula Beautiful kitchen!
Long night with Kerry.
Karla0 -
Good Morning, Ladies. Today, Annie goes back to school and Dylan, Penny, and I will make a trip to the library and eat lunch out somewhere. I attended Dylan's baseball practice yesterday. It was fun to watch them practice. Penny was supposed to go with me and play at the park, but she didn't want to go.
Have a great day, everyone!

Good nearly afternoon ladies. Just got home from the cabin. So much fun with our friends and family this weekend.,lots of boating and floating. Excellent food and tons of laughter. My kind of weekend. I will have a rare weekend at home coming up. There is a bachelor party happening at ours and our sons place, so I am steering clear.
Paula, love th kitchen, especially the backsplash. Looks professionally done. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Now I can picture you there.
Bert, can't wait to see how long it will take Sears to get the replacement to you. Have fun with the kids. Hope we are all still able to meet on the 27th.
Janet, hope your trip is going well with James and his family. Can't wait to hear what you think of Idaho.
Waving to Cindy, Diane and Karla.
Patti0 -
Good Morning, Ladies. Yesterday was a fun day. I took the kids bowling and then to Culver's for lunch. We played Rack-O and Rummy Cube after dinner.
Mike says Sears has officially authorized for replacement. The tech department will advise us in 2 days how we are to proceed. They said they would call, but Mike laughed when they said that, so he has a direct line number to call them! He also has the authorization number. I think there might be light at the end of the tunnel.
Patti: I have the 27th on my calendar. I need to check the google map though as they said 465 around the south side of Indy is closed.
Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning friends. It was a rough night with Kerry with a call in to his doctor. He is so weak now he is on a walker instead of his cane. He is refusing to use the new nebulizer now too so we are back to the old one with the neb set issue. All this is draining both he and I down. His doctors nurse is supposed to be looking into home health for me and I am going to push that today. I’m so very tired. Please pray for us or think about us if you can. I never dreamed this would be so hard.
Karla0 -
Praying for you and your brother.0

Karla, you need to look into home health care for Kerry, especially for the overnight hours. You are no good to him or anyone else if you don’t get some rest. I know I could do about two overnights taking care of my mom and then I needed at least one uninterrupted night of sleep before I could be helpful again.0
-
Karla, I hope the nurse works fast to get you some help. Sending prayers to you and Kerry
Patti0 -
Good Morning, Ladies. The kids are up early this morning. I'll need to find an activity for them to do. Perhaps take them to the park or something. It's a sunny day today, so we will be outside at some point today.
Karla: I hope you get some type of home health care soon.
Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning,
Things have been hectic. Now that boys are in school it's making my life easier. Adilynn starts preschool Monday so I'll be taking her on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Her mom is off today so I'm going to see Mom. Will have the boys from 4-8:30 this evening while Kati works. Next week she works all week so I'll have the kids every night.
This week I decided I'm refocusing on me and my goals!. Can't let the remodel, and my kids and grandkids moving in derail me. I have eaten so much better than I was, getting my water in and dancing with Adilynn lol.
Work on the house stalled this week because it was just too hot. Plan to work on it tomorrow and this weekend.
Have a great day!!
Paula0 -
Hello lovely ladies,
Paula, so good to hear from you. You need a secretary just to figure out your days, lol. Hope things settle into a routine that is not so hard on you. Can you share a picture of the grandkids. It has been so long, I can't even wrap my head around Adilynn in preschool! Do you think you will be able to make the 27th at Cracker Barrell in Shelbyville, IN? I am with you on refocusing. We can do this.
Today is house chores day, then TRX. Still trying to figure out what to do with my weekend but am sure I will come up with something. I really want to get into my craft room either to sew or make some cards. It has been far too long since I did anything creative.
Wishing you all a wonderful day.
Patti0 -
Patti: I have to pick Jillian and Cole up on the 27th. The rest of the week is the same. So sorry. I was looking forward to having lunch with everyone. Have a good time.
Bert0 -
Bert, maybe we can reschedule before the weather turns.
Paula and Janet, if you all still want to meet on the 27th we can choose another location. Just let me know. Otherwise we will cancel and reschedule for another date.0 -
Good morning!
Patti & Paula, let's reschedule - my next week looks pretty full. We'll find a good IN day when Bert's available.
Bert, sure hope you get a new fridge YESTERDAY! You and Mike should bill them for the zillion hours you had to put in simply to get what you deserved in the first place. We'll all cheer when you FINALLY have a new one!
Paula, the kitchen looks terrific. My backsplash is similar (dark grey). Your work is paying off. And Adilynn in preschool? Yikes! Smart avoiding heavy work in the heat.
Karla, glad they thyroid may be getting better regulated. It takes time - am readjusting here as well and hope to be destabilized by spring. How health care for Kerry is warranted and deserved. Hope things go well for your dad at the VA too.
Patti, glad you had good river time!
Diane, your pics are blowing use all away.
My trip was terrific. James's family were all lovely. We went to an old west town with lots of history and drove through high sagebrush desert, foothills, around a stunning lake a few hours north of Boise, through verdant valleys with lots of cattle ranches, through a bit of a gorge, along a whitewater river with peaceful stretches, went to a family cookout, and even went bowling (I'm bad, but it was lots of fun and we laughed the whole time). The drive home covered nine states and was an excellent reminder of how magnificent the prairies and heartland farm areas are. All in all, a great time! Eating on the trip was quite good. Very hungry today but must get going - library returns and have no fresh veggies in the house! Missed you all!

Hello all.
Kerry’s PCP is calling Home Health in and his Pulmonary Doctor is evaluating his meds again as he had a reaction to the change of meds. Jason came over and sat with them while I went to my neurologist as my face has been on fire since the thyroidectomy and the stress at home. I am having to cancel my Wisconsin trip as it is just not a good time with all this going on. My niece is still coming and I will enjoy her visit immensely.
Karla0 -
Patti, I agree with Janet to reschedule. It will be better for me in September or whenever Bert is free. I'll post pictures of the kiddos.
Janet, so glad you enjoyed your trip!! Forgive me for asking but who is James? I was gone for a while and well....I have no clue lol
Karla, hope you find some relief and time for yourself. Bless your heart for taking on so much.
Paula
