Rori ~ Congrats on your decision to retire. I think you will love it.
Felicia ~ Looks like Cabo is a bit of paradise.
PIP ~ Yogi looks really cute in his “man” clothes.
Joyce ~ Sorry you are having trouble with your numb finger and inability to sleep. Hope the doc can help you. Did I misunderstand what you said about taking narco’s (narcotics?). Maybe you are on too much medication.
Re ~ Glad you are getting good results from your exercise.
Sharon ~ So sorry your migraine is so bad. Hope it goes away quickly.
Linens Once Again ~ All the comments have made me realize that I need to purge all my extra sheets, table cloths, saved curtains, etc. All my talk of my DH being a hoarder and there I am right with him. So many things that I have not or never used. Ugh!
Temps in the 50's today but will go back down over the weekend.
Driveway is being dug up and hopefully we will get new concrete poured soon. It was a real mess and we were lucky to be able to replace some of it at a good price.

Felicia you look like you stepped into a slice of heaven!
Sharon So sorry for the migraine. I suffer them too, but as I’ve aged they have become less severe. Hope you feel better soon!
Sheets one drawback to letting the kits sleep snuggled to my side in bed is that one of them occasionally horks up a hairball etc in the middle of the night. We have to quickly get up and shed the sheet and replace it with one of the clean sheets rolled up in the cedar chest (inheritance from my mother) at the foot of the bed. We could not manage with one set of sheets. I have 3 sets, and when the universe sent one of us sickness (and we sweat through the sheets with fever) and one of our kitties hairballs we did regret not having a fourth set one weekend. We just used a queen sized flat sheet and safety pins that day, iirc. I do have 5 or 6 queen size sheet sets - but no queen size bed anymore. You ladies have inspired me to purge those! Thanks.
I will start to take the tree down later today. But first, Mr Kidd Kirby is purring up a storm with the cuddling requests. So happy not to have to work until 4 pm today.

Hi all! Back from my first run of week 2, c25k. Managed it fine and all my downloaded music worked fine. Thanks again for the suggestions. Glad to say my knee is holding out, though I am conscious of it.
The lane is absolutely filthy with farm equipment trundling back and forth and the verges all ploughed up. Grrrrrrrrrr! Then it all washes downhill and blocks the drain at the end of the road. That was one of the objections DH made to the planning application. Flooding is not good news for the council.
I saw the horrible b#÷×+×÷ at the village hall after yoga. He has schemed to keep useful on the Parish Council, even though he has moved out of the village, with an eye on getting his plans passed. Grrrrrrrrrr! He was fixing some notice boards, but I just walked out without saying anything.
DH is having anxiety over the proposed building and hasn't slept well this last couple of nights. Plus irritable bowel. I hope it subsides soon. (He is prone to serious anxiety attacks)
I know it will affect the value of our house. I think we ought to tell the estate agent, but DH thinks we should wait and see if the planning is accepted or rejected. It will come up on any search and they will wonder why we haven't declared it, I think. He may decide to tell them, but I'll let his conscience decide.
Lisa - Hope you hear something good about the warehouse. It would be such a load off your mind.
Yoga was great and we all looked at our teacher's recent wedding photos. I so love my group and teacher and will miss them all dearly if/when we move.
Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxxx3 -
Rori - congrats on the retirement decision! The stars lined up for it! Enjoy, enjoy your trip and the birthday celebrations.
Re - when you said someone made your butt sore, why did I think Pip stopped by? LOL! So glad you are back on track. Your journey back to health has been amazing!
Sharon - sorry to hear about your migraine and the CBD. And your tummy sickness! I haven't had a horrible sick to stomach migraine in a long time - used to have them regularly and the only thing that stopped them was imitrex. I guess the CBD products work well for a lot of people, but not all. When I was working, we also had the 15 minute break and half hour lunch break rule which must have been a WA state law. Though it could be circumvented a bit in a union contract along with overtime hours for folks with very staggered workdays who worked 44 hours one week, 36 the next to average 40 per week.
Barbara S Oregon - how nice your DH is complimentary on your cooking! What a great thing! Hope it lasts forever! Mine does pretty well when I actually DO cook, lol. I have to remind myself to compliment him as well. I guess I was raised "if I'm not complaining then take it as a compliment" BUT, we like to hear the words nonetheless.
Joyce - sounds like you are doing better but I too am worried a bit about your unstable BP. And numb finger! Thank you for catching us up on ALL the girls! Hope Michelle finds the source of that pain, how worrisome and aggravating. I still have pain after my gallbladder surgery - doc says it's scar tissue and/or adhesions so will have to live with it unless it causes physical problems. Glad you are enjoying the ice dance competition!
Wendy - love your "Feel it Still" running song! They play it on the radio here and I listen to it when I do strength training - not at top speed, lol.
Heather - can you post a photo of your new running top? It sounds very nice! So sorry to hear that nasty bugger is still working on the development. Don't blame your DH for being upset. Our homes and peace of mind are so important. I'm sending a little Italian fanoosh to the developer. It's not mean, it's just wishing him good luck on his endeavors elsewhere. Far from your neighborhood!
Lisa - how neat to get a nibble on the warehouse. Crossing fingers a buyer will come through quickly!
Carol - I hope the driveway project is the last thing that will need to be done for a long, long time. You should have had a PBS show about your floors, dishwasher, etc.
Need to wrap it up for now. Heading to town this morning. Our community is very sad... both Sears and KMart are closing in a few months. They carried a lot of things that Walmart doesn't so I'm going to buy sweats, a vacuum that takes bags if they have any, and check out dishwashers. I know there will be big sales starting in a couple weeks but I'm not willing to wait. When they leave, there will only be Walmart and Home Despot as my DH calls it for good deals on appliances.
Have a good day ladies!

Good morning, ladies.
It warmed up just enough to make icy conditions yesterday, so that was fun. Forecast today includes freezing fog.
I went grocery shopping yesterday with a ton of lunch ideas, but none of them entirely cohesive. I made extra fish for dinner last night so I could bring it for lunch today, completely forgetting that I made enough chicken salad yesterday for two days. I bought sweet potatoes and black beans to reproduce a vegan recipe I made once. I bought frozen sushi rolls (it's a thing) and frozen fruit. I bought two different kinds of salad mixes, with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. I bought fresh salsa and chips to make a taco salad using chicken breast I cooked on Sunday. I may resort to a spreadsheet to sort out my menu, kind of like Tetris but I'm fitting calories into my day instead of shapes in a box.
I folded sheets yesterday and thought of all of you.
Felicia - Beautiful pictures. It looks like you had a terrific time.
Ginger - way to fly, girl!
Today is my deadline for choosing a gym. I know to reach my fitness goals I'll need to take up an exercise program. Planet Fitness makes the most sense for cost and location, but my health insurance company offers a significant membership discount for a gym that has more amenities (including a pool). Unfortunately, I haven't received my insurance card yet and I need that to even inquire about the discount. The Planet Fitness new membership discount ends tomorrow so I'm crossing fingers that the card arrives today.
I'm off to tackle my menu dilemma.

Both DH and I have yearly physicals today. My BP has been up and so has my sugar. Not looking forward to this.

Got a call first thing this morning (Texas time, anyway) that we've got a cash offer. Significantly over what we paid for it, and even a little bit over all the money we plowed into it. And a MASSIVE load off our minds... as Heather so rightly pointed out... debt-free again. I missed that!
But, I'm trying to tamp down the fizziness... there's many a slip twixt cup and lip, as the old saying goes. Until the check's in the bank and cleared, it's not done...

Very sad evening for us yesterday as we had to put our Pokey girl down. She was suffering with heart disease and a collapsing trachea due to an enlarged heart. She provided us with 14 years of unconditional love and many wonderful memories to fill our hearts.

Aw Cheri, so sorry about you losing your Pokey.
Lisa....wonderful offer and I bet will be such a great feeling when the deal closes.
Rori... congratulations on retirement. I'm thinking you will love it.

Cheri, crying right along with you. It's so heartbreaking. Hugs
Lisa, sending nothing but good thots that the transaction is completed without a hitch
