Rori: I'll take a dose of that sunshine. We don't have snow, but we have loads of water in the river and it is HIGH. This is really good news for the baby salmon travelling downstream. :ohwell: :bigsmile:
DrKatie: Your room is very appealing. Great job!!!
Mary: Do your nephew and his dad also do the polar bear swim? :huh:
(((Kim))) It seems like your mom is leaning on you hard. You are a good daughter and need to take good care of yourself, too.
Rebecca: Love the photo of your DH in his hospital garb. What a great smile and attitude. :bigsmile: How does he like Whidbey?
We were awakened by a fire alarm chirping this morning. There isn't any smoke in the house and we can't figure out what caused it to chirp. It is quiet now. We have two of alarms side by side. One is battery operated and has a reassuring green light. The other is wired into the electricity. It is quiet once again but we don't know why it chirped in the first place.

Katla,
Husbands attitude is that of a happy boy sometimes! Totally not like how my Chief used to be! He adjusts well to uncomfortable situations, all the stuff medical people have done! He likes the house, but says we need more stuff, (then he yelled and it echoed to prove his point)! He is silly 90%, businesslike 9%, and 1% pure orneriness!!
We are definitely getting more exercise walking all over this home!

Lisa-
Congratulations I am so happy for you! Especially with such a big change in your life you are doing a fantastic job!
Margaret - my son-in-law just informed me that they're supposed to get snow this Wednesday… Enough already! I used to love having a snow day until we had to start making them up! Stay warm!
Marcelyn - Beautiful picture of your family! Nice to see you posting here again!
Just waking up. Got to get an early start on my exercise I plan on reorganizing the RV today. I want to start getting ready for the travel home if it ever stops snowing there!
Have a great day everyone!

Well up and adam, for today I go to the gym with husband! Eek! Nervous! It's the gym in base, so not a lot of obese people there! So it'll be me and a lot of active duty people, a few retired people. When I say in the car last week, I saw no obese people going in it coming out.
Everyone have a great day!
Hugs to those that need one, or or hurting.

Yay, Lisa! Onederland for you!
Hugs, Kim. You are in an impossible situation. You can only do what you can do. Just keep on keeping on the best you can.
I’m doing a total restart today. My goal is to make it through today, keeping my boundaries, and taking it easy. I will exercise, but at my pace. I just feel totally blah.

Marcelyhn - that is some amazing family! What a blessing.
Lisa - I can't believe you had to buy all that stuff! I certainly provided washing machine, cooker and fridge freezer in my rental.
Well done for getting there, despite the 'typo' . Grrrrrrrrrr! I hope you will be very happy in your 'interim' home. Onderland - Yippee! :drinker:
Well, I had an interesting day. All this stress has given me cystitis. Not bad, but enough to niggle. So I took the car, dropped DH off at cricket and went to buy cranberry juice. I also went to the pharmacy to get a Canesten pessary, just in case it was thrush and it got worse on my trip away, but they wouldn't sell it to me because I'm over 60.
I bought the cream instead. At home I was looking up cranberry juice online and they pretty much said it was useless, but I will drink it anyway. 
So then I found my pharmacy does online consultation for antibiotics for cystitis, so I filled in all the forms and when they sent it to the doc he refused it because I am over 60. Grrrrrrrrrr!
So I will battle on. If it is worse tomorrow I will try to get an emergency doctor appointment. I'm going to York on Wednesday.
This morning I proofed my book online and then it took me to Kindle to put it on there. I did that. The Kindle layout is a bit mangled for the title pages, but the text is readable, if not quite right. I don't know how to change it, so it'll have to do. Then I got lost and couldn't get back to my paperback to price it etc.
Then DH rang for me to collect him. I was in a state - hadn't eaten and was so tense! I almost cried when I met him. He calmed me down and I had some lunch and went back into Createspace. This time I found the pricing page!
I had got very confused by KDP asking me if I wanted them to publish the paperback. Too many questions, too many options and I don't know any of the answers. So I'm now waiting for it to appear on Amazon. I have emailed them to ask when. I'm not responsible for setting the paperback price - that was the cheapest I could make it.
So, ladies, I have been "all of a doo dah" today, as my mother would say. Then I went out for a 5k run. Feel better now.
Love you, Heather UK xxxxxxx6 -

Marcelyn - fabulous photo! The grands held still just fine
Thank you for sharing!
Tere - great too see you - please fill us in when you get a chance, you have been on my mind ;-)
NY Karen - " dress for the job you want, not the job you have" ... that is so true in so many areas of our lives. Thank you for the reminder! Your meals for the week sound yummy!
Heather - why don't they think women over 60 get cystitis? Good luck with the cranberry juice. Good idea getting prepped before your trip! Glad you are getting things settled with your book. So many things have too many options these days. Overwhelming and aggravating, lol.
Kylia and Michele - thank you for the mattress info. I checked them both. There's a mattress store in our area called "Mattress Ranch" that sells hybrids - foam over steel coils, they come rolled up. I tried them out and they were cushy, have a 10 year guarantee. Our friends bout one three years ago and it is still holding up well. So might go that route.
Carol - I miss Joyce too! Glad to hear spring has sprung in Georgia
Becca - what a precious memorial to your mom. A sun porch! I am jealous! Going to the gym will be exciting - I mainly went to walk on the treadmill and people-watch. Met some nice ladies too - great talks in the locker room and parking lot. SO happy your DH is doing so well! Do you want us to call you Becca or Rebecca?
Mary - I like your new spot! Great to be closer to technology. I love the tree too! Shep is just adorable. I know so many folks who have German Shepherds and just love them; they are so smart. If we were younger - so far trying to outsmart the mini schnauzer has kept us on our toes. At least I can pick her up before she gets into too much trouble. Those snow photos will be fun to look at when it's 100 degrees out, lol.
Tracie - I was able to find old radio programs/podcasts on TuneIn last night. Wish they had a sleepy emoji here, lol. I was up late checking them all out.
Margaret - Are you getting wind with that snow? Snowdrifts? Enjoy your snow day!
Katla - crazy fire alarm - hope it has settled down. Have whales ever traveled up the river to your area?
Katiebug - your nursery photos are an inspiration for sure. Good job!
Lisa, once I've gone through everything on Acorn I see I need to switch over to BritBox. Glad you found the appliances you needed, your rental will soon truly be a home. Congrats on Wonderland!!
I found a new British TV series to watch on Acorn: The Good Karma Hospital. Very good!
OK better close. Have a good day!

Good morning. We need some sunshine here. I haven't been able to mow our lawn in two weeks, and while it looks beautifully green and healthy, it is too long.
Older son is climbing out of the depression hole he's been in for the past week. He slept nearly two days straight -- I couldn't get him up even to eat. I would hear him wandering around at night getting food, but we didn't see him during the day. Then Saturday morning, he was up. Napped a little in the afternoon, but ate meals with us and socialized -- even watched a show with us. (The reboot of Lost in Space.) Yesterday he got up early and stayed awake all day, eating with us, making jokes. He took my middle son to the guitar store Sunday afternoon and helped him pick out a bass guitar. We purchased that, then all three boys played music together in the living room -- even my 11 year old strummed along with his acoustic guitar. (Yes -- my oldest son's electric guitar and amp showed up Thursday. I suggested to him that its arrival, while I intended it for good, may have been too much for him because it was the last of his stuff to be returned from ex-gf.) Then the two older boys worked on music upstairs for a couple more hours before the oldest finally collapsed in bed at about 8 pm. Up for 12 hours!!! Amazing. And this morning, he was up at 6:30 and ready to tackle the day.
I know he will have good days and bad days, but I was so happy coming to work this morning for the day he had yesterday and he told me this morning that he was feeling better about his sleep schedule and that he feels like he's got a handle on himself again. Even my husband was amazing. He finally asked Saturday what was up, and I told him that my son was in a very deep depression hole and not able to get out. So he stepped up and engaged him in conversation, even knocking on his bedroom door and asking how he was doing. You don't know how big that is because the two of them have never been close. Not that my eldest is bitter exactly, but he has always been very close to my ex-husband and lived with him for a few years (big mistake).
Anyway . . . just over all a positive weekend, even though the site of the extraction is very painful still. It's not dry socket, but still sore and tender. I heal slowly, so I just need to be patient.
Hoping for another good day for my eldest son -- he's going to take his car in for an oil change and check on employment and get some homework done. Baby steps.
Much love to everyone, and please, who ever is hogging the sunshine, please share with the rest of us. We all (especially my son) need some vitamin D!

HEATHER really surprised that you couldn't get antibiotics. Look after yourself, you know what happened to me about 6 years ago, looking back now I reckon I developed sepsis and was lucky that in hospital they bombarded me with antibiotics. Haven't had UTI since they advised low dose antibiotic every day but would like to stop taking it just a bit scared.

It is crazy in Toronto - Ice Storm. It was a lazy day yesterday. Need to start my walking again but my knee is killing me. My goal for April is to lose 9lbs. Not doing to well so far. I need to step up my game. Down 3lbs only so far. Really slow progress. Not giving up. One day I will be under the 200lbs. You all are my inspiration. Thank you for posting.4

Thanks Lanette! Well, with this move, I decided to mentally leave Becca in the past. Many years ago, well in 2010 l thought Becca was so cute. The fact that other men called me that, used to seem so exciting. So new place new view, and the past leave long gone. Rebecca seems more me. It seems more honest.
I appreciate you!

Felicia, So glad you had a positive weekend! Your eldest sounds like a sweetheart, just trying to make his way. Here's mine staring at me on messenger chat!
Just listen, notice the moments, and breathe.
Hope your socket feels better!
Have a blessed day!
