    Wow, 5 days and 15 pages... ;}

    Looking ahead to month end, roundup will be a mixed bag. Missed 3 days of meditating, only walked a few days. Been faithful with logging, supplements, only went over 1500 a few times and started Fosamax last Monday, a real hurdle for me.

    Welcome Leamlass, Jayne, FionaW and KittyWH. You are in the right place now. These women's wisdom and compassion are truly amazing.

    Penny expensive veggies, yah. DH shakes his head when I buy organic, but I say "pay the grocer or pay the doctor, you choose" ;}
    Heather Did you learn Norwegian for your cruise to Longyearbyen? cute all the way down to your shoes! Wish I could hear you sing Good Night! and yodel the Lonely Goatherd ;)
    Machka added green beans, corn and (sorry) dried red pepper flakes to the chickpea recipe and it turned out ok. Your chicken curry recipe looks even better, will try soon.
    Wendy "Rivendell" ah! if only...
    Rye thank you VERY much for the sweet potato and potassium info. Does the cooling then reheating diminish the other nutrients in the potatoes? Next time I want to sit down with the Ben & Jerry's, will try your chocolate meditation instead ;)
    Kim yay boots and Virginia Woolf!
    Becca the Japanese method of decluttering made me snort my tea!
    Sharon love Jheri's fish in inks. Glad Jason had her with him at the intense meeting.
    Michelle, Medicare, yikes indeed. Most important thing is to pay attention to the signup deadlines, the penalties last forever. http://www.ncdoi.com/SHIIP/ can help a lot. Medicare Advantage vs Part B supplemental (Medigap) plans. We chose Part B and Medigap Plan F high deductible from Thrivent (no Silver Sneakers ;{ )instead of an Advantage as I don't like being locked into a network and wanted hassle free coverage when we travel. Means we have to pay pay pay for vision, dental, so will re-evaluate next year.
    pip Yogi looks like he's in trouble ;)

    10 pages to go but time to get meditating and moving.

    Mindful and WARM Hugs to all,
    desismileys_4280.gifBarbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD.

    Sharon in Lethbridge— I am at 47% fluent and have many Espanol speaker to practice with here in New Mexico! Lol

    Alie, I don’t know how you stay sane????

    Told my DH about the hernia RV and clothing optional resort. He asked if you were crazy! Lol

    I did go for a walk alone to get away from DH mood. Walks always help me. Healthy too!

    Sorry to hear about rings list, tooth broken, and all the sadness this time of year.

    Funny.. my little white Wicket was nuts this morning and as DH was going out today he RV door, she was jumping and trying to pull his pants down.

    Had a nice text conversation with middle son last night. I think he's happy, probably missing having friends. I hope he and his wife start doing stuff together, maybe a hobby they both are passionate about. My husband and I enjoyed attending Renaissance faires, and then incorporated that with our boys. That expanded into joining the SCA, and then ending with us joining the clothing optional resort. The boys and husband did D & D type gaming but with GI Joe's. Its important to do things other than school and work. Its something they need to discover. Its weird when she and him go exploring, she has to validate it with lots of pics from her phone. I can understand 1 or 2 pics but 20? The phone is like part of the mix. I think its utterly sad.

    Did some recumbent cycling today for my bonus calories. Tomorrow I start week 5 of c25k. :o By the end of the week I should be "shuffling" for 20 mins with no break. Help!
    Yoga in the morning. The estate agent is coming later in the afternoon to talk over marketing. That means he will ask us to reduce the price. I was looking today at properties in Hove and there was nothing that interested me in our price range. :(

    Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Lisa,Yeah!!!! Doing the Zero Balance Mortgage Dance right now for ya!!!! We are at the point where we have no credit card debt, and in as year our car will be paid off! Husband says when its paid off that's when you start having car issues! Well he is wishing a bigger car. Our little car definitely is not for driving more than around town. Trips are hell on our knees, our pedal foot, and our backs!

    well, dishwasher and drain in kitchen sink are backed up, when it rains it pours....
    my son went to his appointment, spoke to a woman there and she gave him paperwork for a berevmeant group that meets at hospital once a month, no meds and if he wants to see them to give them a call..
    he is back where I left him this morning, in bed on his kindle all stuffed up under the covers, I made him come out the table to eat some dinner.
    so I got home and took the dog for a walk because he didnt, made dinner and now am in bed with jammies on...

    To all the ladies that visited Portland Oregon. This is the Meier & Frank's department store's beautiful elevators.

    This store is no longer. But it had beautiful Christmas decorated windows. It was a dignified store, that smelled of cinnamon, and rich colognes! I miss it!

    :'( Dogs have been boarded so we can go to Seattle tomorrow for Jake's visit to the cardiologist. It's lonely without them but I am enjoyed the benefits of watching figure skating and riding the exercise bike for 90 minutes without being interrupted by dogs wanting to go out and I won't have to get up in the middle of the night to walk them. Tomorrow I'll get up early and walk by myself and get home early enough to be reading for us to leave by 6:45.

    :'(Janetr, I'm so sorry about your rings.

    :)Lisa, congrats on the finalizing of the sale.

    Becca, I too qualify as older than dirt.... sigh.
    Lisa, so excited for you!! We have been mortgage free for some years now, but I do remember the feeling! Course, then we went and bought a new vehicle for hubby, paid that off, bought one for me, then another one for him..... Now we are finished buying vehicles and houses! It's truly a great feeling not having any long term debt hanging over our heads.
    We are currently experiencing what has been called an "atmospheric river". From what I can gather that means it's going to rain like h3ll for the next few days. Sure did today!! We have a small creek behind our property, it's dry in the summer, but there's a LOT of water there now! Sure glad we're on slightly higher ground!
    That's it for me for now, hope everyone has a good one!

    Woot! Money's in the bank, mortgage shows online as zero balance. Life is good. FREEDOM! Well, in another few months. Might not be physical weight... but a weight's been lifted for sure.

    Love y'all,
