Been sick most of the week so actually hit my weightloss target because I've not been able to eat, but starting to get my appetite back again - so I'll probably put it all back on ....
I was in the health shop looking for something for stress & migraines and she recommended magnesium citrate - anyone use this before?

Lacey. (((Hugs))) for the stress. Sorry something dreadful happened to someone you know. That's a shock to the system. Concerning magnesium citrate. I am a big fan. It has a natural muscle relaxing property and I sometimes use it to help me drift off to sleep. In its liquid form, it's a bowel prep, so stick to the pill form, which generally doesn't have that side effect. I use Source Naturals, but there are lots of reliable brands. It might help your migraines. It's worth a try.

Lacey hugs. I use Epson salts in a bath daily to help me relax. Magnesium is a natural calming mineral. The B vitamins are good for stress too. Inositol is also good.Take care during this trying time.

Well done Lisa! Amazing that you got it out with everything else going on.
I will get the Kindle version.
This is my patio with the self seeded violas struggling through the cracks. I'm sure you can all make up your own metaphors!
Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxx

I'm waiting for the buildings surveyor to arrive. Decided to make some chicken broth in the IP while I'm waiting and have it as an Asian soup for dinner while DH is out at cricket till late. Love homemade broth. Going to use shiritaki noodles.

Love violas. They do well here until it gets too hot! I planted more of them this year. They do self seed. I had alyssum self seed in our rock last year. Fun!
Been busy trying to get our side our the back fence stained. We took out a couple of trees and now I can get to it better. It had not been stained for twelve years. It needs it. It has taken longer then I thought. I can only do a little at a time because it is hard on my wrist. I am using a paint brush and not a spray.
Weekend very busy. We went to a friend's concert on Friday, out to dinner with DS, and an over 50 gathering yesterday. I made fruit kabobs. I used pineapple, cantaloupe, and organic strawberries. The non organic are so big and tasteless now I wanted strawberries that taste like strawberries. They did go quickly.

Good morning!
Hubs and I are celebrating 30 years of marriage today. No big plans. I bit the inside of my lip again so I am back on no chew for a few days. That makes it hard to go to dinner somewhere. We'll go out for a nice meal later. I am just happy he is home this week. I had set last Friday as my original goal date, when it popped up on my phone I smiled since I had already hit my goal.
Have a great week ladies. Machka - continued prayers for heeling and patience.

Heather: I love the violas in your patio. They are absolutely charming.
Yoga today and I'm looking forward to my favorite teacher. I hope she is back from her travels. I dug up two huge parsley plants last week and put them in the garbage. I kept the third, slightly smaller plant, and put it in a big pot to elevate it above the dog's "watering service." Yesterday we went for a walk and I found parsley plants just like mine all along the way to the marina at the end of the road. My conclusion is that birds have been planting them. The prevailing winds blow up the river most of the time, so that would blow seeds the other way from where we saw the plants.

Happy Anniversary Oakie! Sorry for your bitten lip.
Lisa I was hoping your new book would be a sequel to This Little Pig.
Rebecca & Cherie your eating and exercise diligence is inspiring to all of us and is Barbie's long walks.
We had pine straw put out to cover the part of the yard that had been ruined when two trees were removed. Now we have hundreds of baby pines popping up. Yuck!

With the 113 km/h winds going on out there right now, that could end up being anywhere.

DARN! Lost my whole post ‘cause I hit ‘Done’ instead of ‘Post Reply’! UHG!
Washed a comforter by hand yesterday. That was difficult! Heavy and difficult to wring out. Good workout though!

Monday -- only a 6.4 km walk.
All utility walking. The bus helps at the beginning and end, but the rest of the day's transportation is walking, walking, walking.

What's next at university?
• One big assignment
• Two small assignments

And they'd kind of like me to move from part-time at work ... to somewhat more full-time ... to full-time.
Who needs sleep ... right?

Meanwhile, I'd like to just disappear somewhere for a week or two or three ... or maybe a year.
Just cannot shake the total absolute exhaustion these days. I don't know when I've been in such complete, sustained exhaustion like this before with no end in sight.
On the plus side, my husband has been moved to the Rehab Unit. That's better for him ... and hopefully the schedule will be better for me too.

Carol - I take that as a massive compliment!
There may never be one, however... It's possible that Flak Anders married her fire chief and they ambled off into the sunset together. We may never know.
