WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2018

Work today ... as usual.
Then my tutorial at uni. We have to be in groups for the tutorials this year, and I'm not fond of group work, but at this point, I seem to have ended up with a couple guys who are all right. They've both contributed and they speak reasonable English! We volunteered to present our little project and it went well.
By way of explanation ... the university courses here consist of:
-- lectures for the whole class of 100-300 students. Those are anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on what the instructor wants to do.
-- and a collection of tutorials which are labs or workshops, for anywhere from about 30-40 students of the 100-300 students in the class. They may be in the computer labs for some courses, or just small workshops or whatever, and the tutorials can be anywhere from 1-3 hours long.
This means that the lectures are quite impersonal and there aren't much in the way of questions or anything. But because we divide up into small classes for the tutorials, those allow us to do what we're being taught, and to ask questions, and to participate more. Then they often get us to divide up into small groups and do little projects and things together.
This is a different setup from what I experienced at universities in Canada where most of my courses were just lectures.
Something else that is different from what I experienced in Canada, is the 'international-ness' of this university, and particularly the program I'm in. Out of the 100-300 students in my classes, there are hardly any Australians. In two of my recent courses, I have been the one and only Australian. The rest of my class is almost half and half Chinese and Indian (from India), with a few other Asians thrown in. This is both interesting and challenging. Interesting because I'm learning about China and India and other places ... their customs and cultures and what life is like there. Challenging because many of them struggle to speak or understand English. This means that I am often the person they want in their groups when they do group work ... simply because I can speak English. This also means that I often end up doing a lot of the work.
So it is a bit of a relief that I've ended up in a small group with a young man from China, who speaks pretty good English, and a young man from Indonesia who is a little weaker with his English, but who isn't too bad. We can communicate!
When we got home from work and uni, my husband and I had a lovely walk down to the beach and back ... we go several times a week but we went a little later today than usual, and it looked very much like this photo which I took in Nov 2016.
And then I had a very hot bath with Epsom salts ... and then stretched and used my foam roller. I think there might be a little more flexibility in my hamstrings ... not much, but a little. I haven't done this much stretching in years!!

Pretty picture. My DD also has students in her classes from other places. She loves all the different languages and cultures. Makes the class more interesting.

I've grown to love that beach. It changes all the time.
We headed out on a walk today but didn't go very far. We've had a sudden early blast of winter! The temp dropped, the wind picked up and it was all drizzly and cold.
It was nice earlier today when I walked to the university for a lecture.
I am finding this course particularly interesting because my instructor has lots of business and logistics experience in China and India (and the students are backing up what he says), and I'm learning a lot. I actually didn't realise quite how technologically advanced China is ... they put Australia in the shade. We only just recently (a couple years ago) got paywave and there's talk about paying for stuff with our phones coming soon. Meanwhile, they're already paying for a whole lot of stuff with their phones using apps like Wechat Pay and Alipay. Interestingly, I noticed that our biggest chemist has started to offer Wechat Pay for the Chinese residents here ... won't be long before it will be available for everyone.
I'm passing a lot of this information on to my husband because it is quite applicable to his business too. All very interesting!
Never stop learning!

The online course I'm teaching ends tomorrow and boy am I ready for it to be over! I'll still have to go through a bunch of finals, but the end is in sight.
Glad to hear about the positive surgery results. :flowerforyou:
I hear y'all griping about shifting to daylight saving time and I just have to add my Penny's-worth :laugh: Europe doesn't shift until after the equinox, 25 March this year. Today, the sun went up at 6:31.
Ten days from now, when we've turned our clocks forward an hour, the sun will go up at (drumroll, please) 6:12! Despite the time change, the sun will be going up earlier. And ten days after that it will stop getting dark altogether (until September). 
Right now, we're gaining about 15 minutes of daylight every day.
So I feel unusually justified in griping. Living this far north, we get no benefit whatsoever from fiddling with the darn clock. We only get the hassle of adjusting our internal clocks twice a year. :grumble:
I'll try to be more active here, but in the interest of not overreaching, I'm going to stop now. Please bear with me while my pace accelerates from glacial to snail's.

Down at 8pm last night, but saw every hr on the room clock. Did sleep hard from 4:30 am to 7 am, which was well needed because bam, husband turned on the news at 7 am! Then he wanted to scoot his body up, and then he wanted me to push the bed buttons! Heck, anyone that knows me, knows I need at least 5 mins before you ask me to operate any machinery! So, I wasn't helping, and he was all, I'll do it myself attitude. So he's scooting with pained expression. Oye, he is not a good patient. Maybe its the annoying, mental patient tone of my voice saying, let's solve this problem OK? Trying to channel the best nurse I know!
Waiting patiently....heehee....to ask a nurse for hot water!

Rori: I'm glad that you and your DH enjoyed your get away. Hotel Colorado sounds wonderful. I keep thinking of an old song, Hotel California. (ohwell) I'd love to ride the train and see the sights. Thank you for sharing the photos! There are a couple of places in Oregon that I know about where steam locomotive train rides might be possible when the weather improves. One is at the coast and the other is in the apple growing country near Hood River.
Karen: I am also amazed at what a great success Stephen Hawking made of his life, despite the difficulties imposed by his physical problems.
Lisa: Keeping my fingers crossed for your daughter and son. I hope both have good outcomes and are ultimately happy.
Allie: No sympathy for Tom. He made this mess. I am so happy that you have a cozy home and don't have to put up with his constant criticism. Yay! :bigsmile:
Penny: I'm a fan of year round daylight time. Although I know the duality is supposed to help stabilize day time v night time somewhat, I'd prefer to skip standard time altogether. You are much farther north than we are, so your seasonal light changes are dramatic by comparison. I'm inclined to depression in the dark months and have used daylight temperature light bulbs to great advantage. They really help me stay upbeat and positive. :flowerforyou:
Pip: The tree and plantings are beautiful. :flowerforyou:
Yoga today! YAY!!! I also need to go out to the stable and work with Arrow. He was a brat last time I was there. He bucked some while I lunged him, and that needs to be addressed. :grumble: I think I need to work him harder on the lunge line so that he is too busy to buck. He was cooperative while I rode. I hope the weather is nice enough to spend a little time outside today. His owner has lots on her mind these days and needs to have backup. He's fed and his stall is cleaned by a helper. There are only a few people who actually work with him outside his stall--his owner, our teacher, and me. The stall has an attached paddock that is open to him, but it is too muddy to be useful right now. The paddock could use some improvement on drainage—someday when there is time, energy, and resources available to deal with it.

Had a six hour dental appointment yesterday. Had to take a sleeping pill the night before and two yesterday. Feeling really weird today but decided to just rest and take it easy.
All the grands are beautyful and Pat your little guy is a heart breaker.

Hi wonderful ladies,
Joyce, Glad you pain is better.
Lanette, I hope there’s no more sneezing. I remember when I was going through that. Even though you know you aren’t sick you feel like you have a ac old.
Kylia, happy dance for 1 lb loss! Sounds like a busy day.
Wendy, I love looking at old pictures. I want to scan mine as a retirement project.
(((Evelyn))
Rori, what a wonderful vacation. Sound like you had such fun. Thanks for the pictures.
Karen, Glad you had a nice dinner with your partner. But yuck if it was a fish restaurant. I don’t like fish at all. Wish I did as it’s good for you.
Kate, take it as a compliment.
Lisa, my weight fluctuates daily too. Sounds like DD is in denial. Hopefully you will be able to sway her to see a dr and have the surgery. Waiting may make it worse.
Allie,. Remember who owns the problem – not you.
Beiersdo, just post and your in. let us know what you want to be called and a little bit about yourself.
Pat, Cute grandson. You can make it to Onderland!
Machka, I’m afraid technology has already surpassed me. I could learn but right now just not interested.
Penny, yes, you do have the right to gripe. Lol
Pip, wish I had a garden at my house. I’m going to work on the area in front of the house this summer after we paint the lattes work.
Becca, deep breaths girl.
((Suebdew))
Well back at work today. Was a slug yesterday as it was so nice to just sit and enjoy the fire. Of course I ate too much, but back to it today. Now don’t faint girls, but I’m going to our on-site gym today at lunchtime and do kettlebells. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Terry in very snowy VT8 -
suebdew 6 hrs? good heavens what did you have going on? Implants?I work at a dental office and never heard of a 6 hr appointment
sick granddaughter home with grandma for the day, taking her to the Dr at 2:305 -
Went out for my 5k run today.
So I've clocked up nearly 1,000 calories in all today. I'm turning into Pip. 
I sometimes come across DH on his walk as I run round. I feel a bit embarassed as I am sooooooo slow, but he is always very encouraging.
Came back to find the removal estimate guy had arrived early. He seemed very nice/young/attractive. Took him round the house and in the annexe we showed him the gigantic old tv we had failed to carry downstairs. He offered to help DH and between them they shifted it into the car. The most difficult thing in the house is the three exercise machines, which are BIG and HEAVY. Might need an extra van for those. 
So all good. DH is ploughing on with reading my memoir. I am editing, using his corrections and suggestions. Then I remember an episode that I haven't included, so I'm going to have to add that.
He says I could be clearer with the sequence in the early part and he's not sure about the title. All good suggestions.
Lanette - Bea goes to a little playschool a few hours a week, with the nanny. She will be part time at a nursery soon. Edie goes to a nursery for a couple of days and a morning. She starts school in September, when she is five. Their wonderful nanny is planning to leave at Christmas. Don't know what DDIL and DS will do then. They will still need some help, especially during the school holidays. They need a KJ. :bigsmile:

Today is Brutus Day!
'Ware the Ides of March! "Sometimes we know that those we call our friends are not, perhaps, the best of people. While we may adore them as our friend, their choices and actions as pertains to others we may not approve of. This is where Brutus found himself, a dear friend he could not counsel away from madness had to be put down for the good of the nation he ruled. It is this conundrum that casts questions on whether Brutus was hero, villain, martyr, or betrayer. Perhaps each in equal measure."
Kelly - Joaquin is such a handsome guy! Hope they had an awesome day yesterday.
Heather - Ooh, the cabbage bowls sound delicious. Going to print that recipe out for next week. Little Bea looks like a handful!
Vicki - It's nice to hear from you, even if just for a minute. Hang in there!
Barbie & Becca - Thank you for keeping us updated! I'm so relieved for you both. Wishing Jake and Lee fast, pain-free recoveries, and wishing their respective nurses plenty of rest.
Joyce - Glad to hear that you've had some relief from the pain. Does wearing a glove help with the cold sensitivity at all?
Drkatiebug - Great job resisting the pi... er... pie!
Rori - Oh, Glenwood Springs is SO pretty! Thank you for the coaster recommendation... I will definitely have to try that the next time I get up that way!
Penny - I don't think any of us get much benefit from Daylight Savings Time. Wish they'd just do away with it!
Suebdew - Oh, no, SIX HOURS in the dental chair!? That sounds like a nightmare! Glad you are able to rest today.
Now I'm going straight back to work. I want to finish early today so I can get in some yard work. Enjoy your day!

Hmmm I used to be able to click on the little box with the landscape, and choose file then hit prime photos on my fire tablet. Now I get a white screen when I click choose file.
Becca5 -
Happy Thursday!
Terry - yes, let us know how things work out at the on-site gym. Have you utilized it before? You probably said and danged if I can remember, lol.
Becca - now that Lee is stable, will you be able to leave him for longer periods of time and get your walks in? Sounds like the nurses and staff there can be trusted from what you've said in the past.
Katiebug - I wish we could afford to have all the floors in the house done, so we'll take it one room at a time. If whomever we choose to do the living room does a good job, we'll get them on target for the master bedroom. So many things here need repair or "freshening". I figure we'll only be here from 2 to 5 more years so our focus is just to make it more livable and safe for us. Our living room area is pretty big - around 450 square feet. When we have the guy come out to give us a quote, we'll have it figured for the vinyl, engineered hardwood, and laminate. I just wish I could close my eyes, snap my fingers, have it all finished and write them a check.
Rori - glad you and your DH had a great time! Any more outings planned in the near future? You are a wild woman taking on that alpine coaster. I might be persuaded to try it if I didn't have any food in my stomach, lol. Urp.
Penny - happy vernal equinox! Sounds like summer will be rushing in! Good to hear the end to your class is in sight.
Katla - I can't remember, do you still have your cleaning lady?
Machka - when the teleporter gets out of the shop, I want to zip over and walk with you on that beach. Last I heard they are waiting on a part from the international space station so don't hold your breath.
Yesterday at the Area Agency on Aging meeting, they handed out Aging Mastery Program (AMP) kits provided by the National Council on Aging (NCOA). We advisory council members are the beta testers for this in-home program which covers the six dimensions of Aging Well:
1. Gratitude and Mindfulness
2. Health and Well-being
3. Finances and Future Planning
4. Connections and Community
5. Creativity and Learning
6. Legacy and Purpose
We are to pick an activity from each of the categories to focus on for the next 2 weeks and report back to them. There's a pretty comprehensive handbook covering all this. The kit included 2 exercise videos - one on stretching and one on beginning T'ai Chi. So this should be fun.
Looks like there are many senior centers in the US who have the Aging Mastery Programs as a group activity - I think participants have to pay for the class.
Have a great day!

Rori ... I admire you so much! Your joy in living each moment is inspirational!
Becca and Barbie ... glad to hear that both surgeries went well. Praying they rest quietly and heal quickly!
Husband and I had an "adventure" last night.
I was at my son's place (as he had no aide) until 10:00pm. When I left, my car was pretty frozen and I heard something "crunchy." Drove about 75 feet and got out of the car because it wasn't driving right. Checked the tires. Looked good to me! Lol! Made it about 1/2 mile when I hit a pothole and my front tire "exploded!" I was only going about 20mph at the time ... so not in danger ... I pulled into a nearby parking lot and called my husband. He needed to call our roadside assistance service for me because I can't hear on the phone and, because it was going to be over an hour and half till they could get someone to me, he came to wait with me. (His recent back surgery prevented him from changing the tire for me which had him in a tizzy.) My "spare" turned out to be one of those donut things and it had no air in it. Because roadside assistance said it would take another half hour to use the small air pump he had, he leaves and my husband says he'll drive my car and to follow him in his vehicle to the gas station and he'll put air in it. He figured he'd drive it home because the donut thing is pretty unstable and there's ice and snow on the roads.
Unknown to me, my husband had put his truck lights on "parking" ... they're normally on "auto" and frankly we were sitting by street lights and lot lights so I couldn't tell any difference. We pull out of the lot (it's now past midnight) and travel literally no more than 300 feet when behind me I see flashing lights! My husband is waving at me out the window and I can't figure out what he's doing, but we both stop. My husband gets out of his car which alarms the policeman, but all he wants to do is tell them I can't hear! Anyways, husband is mad at me for not having my headlights on properly and the policeman only see is an angry man! LOL! Up pulls another police car! Anyways, they asked if we had been drinking which to know us is laughable! After taking our licenses and flashing their lights everywhere (seriously I thought they were looking for fugitives!!), they eventually figured out we're just nincompoops and even asked if we would be all right and could they help us some way. I told the officer that there's no help for the two of us! Poor policeman ... he just shook his head at me! And neither of the policemen looked like they were out of high school! So young looking! I'm glad this event was just a nuisance stop for them!
Somewhere on our way home our spare tire holder flew off the top of the car?? I saw sparks when it hit the street, but didn't know what I was looking at. (Which resulted in more gnashing of teeth for my husband when we got home.) Seems our roadside assistant forgot to put that back in the car and the police missed it as well. Surprised it didn't fly up and hit my windshield as I was following pretty closely.
The car's little spare donut tire was worthless. My car did not make it home ... we left it at a nearby service garage with a note. Didn't get home until almost 1:00 am. I confess to eating a piece of pie ... sigh.
Beth near Buffalo ... whose husband has no sense of humor!

Beth a "piece of Pie??"" I would have eaten an entire pie after an adventure like that!! YIKES, what a night.

I'm new to this discussion. My name is Michele and I reside in Southern California. I have two grown children and two grandsons who live in FL with their mother. I retired from the corporate world almost a year ago. I telecommuted the last few years so that helped with the transition to being home quite a bit.
I don't have a monthly word, but my word for 2018 is Balance. Last year my word was Focus. I focused on starting a new home business and neglected other aspects of my life, such as health. My goal for last month was to form new habits: Log everything in MFP, spend 2 hours in the gym 3x a week, and walk a minimum of 6K steps daily as recorded on my Fitbit. I did quite well and the weight started to drop off ... Yeah! ..... But ....
This month I've continued with my new good habits, but I've put a couple pounds back on. I think I need to start tracking water and I took body measurements. I know muscle weighs more than fat, so hoping that may explain the increase. Thoughts/suggestions?5 -
Beth ~ What a terrible evening you had. I agree with NY Karen, I would have eaten the entire pie; but, knowing me, it would have been an entire bottle of wine. LOL6

Oh Beth that doesn't sound good at all.. ugghhh
well the kid forgot her coat at school so have to stop there first and then to the Drs, she had motrin at school and feels a bit better..2 -
Happy Thursday. I am back to working 50+ hours a week as I had to let someone go. This is the first time I have done that since I have become supervisor. She had been talked to several times and given warnings but just would not change and when she went after a co-worker she left us no choice. So until we can get someone hired and trainned I will be filling in a lot of her hours. I just hope I do not have to do that again anytime soon
Barbie--Glad to hear Jake is doing well.
Becca--Great news that he got to go to regular room and not ICU.
Allie--The person Tom should be upset with is his lawyer for drawing things out so long. Stay strong! Hope DGD is feeling better. DH is just getting over the crud and it took almost a week before he would go to the doctor and when he did they told him if he would of come in sooner they could of given him tamaflu, I got to tell him told you so.
Lisa--I would ask DD does she want the surgery here with her own doctors or take the chance of something happening in some other country and have to deal with health care there. I know for me I would want it done here.
Beth--What an adventure. Glad you both got home ok.
Another beautiful day here in the 60's. Planning to go get my nails done when I get off work. They are talking about rain and snow this weekend. Gotta love the weather.
Blessings, Vicki GI,NE6 -
Beth (((((HUGS)))) I too would have downed a whole pie. So glad you made it home safely after that ordeal!

Hi Sisters, Beth, I DO have a sense of humour and I think maybe your husband will eventually look back on this episode and get a laugh out of it. I did! (Not so funny at the time, but improves with distance.)
Barbie, and any others who are scanning old pics, what scanner do you use? I remember vaguely a previous discussion but did not note it down...
Off to the office today, going to walk Jock first. Am going to try to get a fast started today. Tired of being fat and the old pics motivated me! Sometimes it's hard to get my fast started but once I am on it I can maintain it for awhile. So hoping today is the day! Wendy 3 -
Hi! I am going to bookmark this. I am ALMOST 50- not until June, but I feel like I do not really belong to the 40's anymore. Restarting AGAIN on MFP. I have my son graduating this summer and my health to think about! Willing to be added as a friend to anyone out there. My goal is to post most every day.
I am a mom of three - two girls and boy. 25, 22 and 18. Work full time in office. Enjoy outdoors - hiking and camping. But also enjoy sitting in my chair and watching the birds outside (:7 -
Jake will be discharged today. The surgeon came in and told us more details about the surgery. The next adventure will be my driving us home and Jake doing his best to keep quiet and not tell me how to driveBeth hugs to youWendy our HP printer is also a scanner and copier and fax

Beth, I’m so glad you were safe after your adventure. Yikes!
Dance4fun0617 & brennerjib, welcome! You can do it girls.
Vicki, 50 hours a week?! It’s so hard when employees don’t work out.
Barbie, glad to here Jake was discharged. Stay safe going home.
Mary, well, I did it. I did day 1 of the 4 week kettlebell plan you posted the beginning of March. I used 8lbs and didn’t quite make it through the last 2 sets of the swings. Afterwards my legs were so rubbery I could hardly walk. They are still rubbery. I’m sooo out of shape. But it’s a start. There were only 2 others using the gym when I went. I thought going at 2pm maybe no one would be there but no such luck. Maybe I’ll have to do it at home and then I can pop in the shower afterwards. I sweat so much. I’ll figure it out. The only question I have is what happen after week 2. I’m assuming I continue to increase the swings and the squats stay the same? I’m thick when it comes to stuff like this. Usually I’m not this dense. Really, I’m not.
Well back to work, Terry7 -
Day 2: he's sleeping now. Earlier, he walked using a walker, from his bed to the entrance of his room, made a turn and sat back down. He doesn't like the way his epidural meds make his head feel. It is an opioid based med, and he will want to get that off as soon as possible. Not that he's ever misused it, he just doesn't like pain meds in general. His body looks like its been thru hell! Hopefully he'll get his catheter out tomorrow. Everything takes time.
Ate that same sandwich that I described yesterday! I am not eating all my bird food I brought! But in this small way, I'm being cared for. I told the people behind the counter, thanks for feeding me!
Becca8 -
Sue in TX: A six-hour dental appointment sounds exhausting and unpleasant. I hope you are getting rest and feel better today. :flowerforyou:
Heather: You are lucky to be married to your DH for loads of reasons. It is especially good of him to read your book in progress and help with positive suggestions and ideas.
Lanette: We let the cleaning lady that we had earlier this year go. She wasn't consistent with our agreed schedule, rushed though our house, left pictures hanging kitty-wampus, and charged us a high price for a few hours of rushed and substandard work. We have a new pair of cleaners coming in next week. We are hopeful that this is a better match. We found them through the same beautician who helped us find the dog sitter who stayed in our house & took care of our dog during our trip. Keeping our fingers crossed. This will be a couple of hours every other week. :flowerforyou:
Beth: After that horrible car situation I'd have eaten the whole pie and probably followed it with copious alcohol consumption. (Bad idea, though.) Your DH was awesome support. :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:
dance4fun: Welcome to a great group. You seem to be off to an excellent start. My best advice is to let MFP set your calorie allowance, measure your portions using a scale or measuring cups, and choose foods that give you energy & help you feel good. Log every bite and swallow. No exceptions.
Vicki GI,NE: You did a great job dealing with the poor worker. I'm sorry that it left you stuck with a heavy work load until you can find a good replacement.
Wendy: Our son did a bunch of scanning for us and used an Epsom Perfection V600 scanner. It is a slow process--one photo at a time. Ours doesn't have any sort of automatic feeder that I know of. The quality was fabulous. :flowerforyou:
Barbie: Sending gratitude for surgical success and loads of patience for your trip home.
Becca: It sounds as though surgery was a big success & things are progressing in a good way. Yay!
Yoga today was harder work than I thought it would be. I've made every move countless times before, but being gone for weeks when we travelled, and then having the classes reduced to two days a week, I am noticing that I've lost a bit of strength & flexibility. We're hoping to recruit another teacher so that more days can be added back. The health club owner seems to be leaving it for the current teachers & class members to deal with.
