WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2018

coastalgosgal

Nice day today! It was our 34th anniversary, so we watched Navy football! They played Memphis and won 22 to 21! Crazy close!

I made chicken fried cube steak, spaghetti and bread sticks! Husband was belly happy! I did a great job and crammed as much love into the meal as I could! Haahaa!

Was able to chat with middle son. Feeling loved today.👍.💗⚓🌹

Rita ... beautiful rainbow photographs!

Barbie ... knitting while lying down? Amazing!! Hope the rest helps.

Heather... Edie is ready!

KarenVA ... your grandson is so very fortunate to have you in his corner. I think the two of you are going to do quite well this school year.

I didn't set my goals yet for the month!! I had hoped to lose weight in August and I did ... 8 pounds. So this month's goal is to maintain that loss and try to lose 4 more.

My son is doing very well. Saw both his primary and his surgeon this week. Surgeon was very pleased with his healing and concurred that he had dodged a very large bullet. We are so very thankful! We had the opportunity later this week to see his temporary housing accommodations while his place is being renovated. It will do. My husband and I spent today looking for an inexpensive chest of drawers. Took a few hours but found one on FaceBook's marketplace. Hadn't used that site before. I think we overpaid the seller, but my husband doesn't like to negotiate and I just kept quiet.

Had a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday. It was due to come out earlier in the year but circumstances had me putting it off. Then when my son was in the hospital, it started to throb. So Tuesday I called and yesterday an oral surgeon took care of it. Was a tough one I guess .. I was in a sweat and so was he!! Not doing too bad, but I can tell tomorrow is going to be a little more difficult.

Trying to get caught up with things, but it will take a while. One bite at a time ...

I think after the Georgia Tech game today; they might be 'buying' the coach out of a contract. Nephew and his son thinks they should not have renewed his contract for 5 years. Georgia game really good; watched the 3 quarters, then listened to the 4th on our way home. Had to laugh that we had 'words' when trying to follow sister's directions to her house; I had gone that way once with her; and, Louis had his @$$ where it did not need to be; but, we got there. Trey asked what kind of directions we had gotten; because they always went back down Hwy 19; that is how we came home, following them, they made a turn and realized that their WAZE had dropped service during a pass though an area of trees. When Jenn turned around, and stopped next to us; I laughed and told her 'I guess her GPS wasn't working any better than mine was.

Rebecca - Losing a son to the Navy is about like accepting you lose them to a wife when they get married. But, now I don't worry about either of them. The sons still get along pretty good; but, DDnL#1 is so jealous of DDnL#2 it is unreal. I just have to 'ignore' her. One is just 'too far away' and the other is just 'too close at times'. But, I did announce that I had 'deleted' my FB account; and, cannot believe how less stressed I am. I'll miss the pictures; just not the 'drama'.

I need to get back to my tracking my food and liquids. I don't 'think' my weight has changed too much; but, I refuse to step on the scales we have at home. I'd rather take my shoes off and, put my purse between the scale and whatever is next to it at Publix. I could go to GNC and get a breakdown of my BMI, etc. At least it is pretty accurate or close to what I have weighed the last time I went for a weigh in. I'm the tallest in a family of 3 girls. Oldest sister very thin through her torso; but, I think she is the thinnest. Middle sister is shorter than I am; so it is difficult to measure size; I told them that I 'must' be adopted just like they told me growing up. I don't think I look like either one of them now. Sister spent a few days in the hospital last weekend with her blood pressure sky high - kept her to get it down.

I'm just mostly reading every few days or scrolling if the list is too long.

Take care! Stay safe! Enjoying keeping up with you. Still working on my moods; and, having to get used to the fact that Louis, Trey, nor Will want me to drive anymore. Been 9 months; so it can't be that bad. Told Trey the last time he took me to 2 MDs appointments that 'if' the did not 'stop bitching' I was going to get a hat and sit in the back seat so they would really be "Driving Miss Daisy"; then shut him up when I told him that all the tests were to rule out cancer. That shut him up. So far, the closest I've come was having Barrett's Esophagus. That being from having uncontrolled 'acid reflux' for over 12 years. Went off the Nexium and I could not believe how much better I feel! Now, I no longer take Pepcid, nor any OTC meds, no vitamins, or supplements and the only thing I have to make sure of, is that I have medications with me at all times. Got my seizure meds taken care of; now all I have to do is 'gamble' with being taken off the Dilantin and having my Lamictal upped under very careful watchh from my Neurologist. I saw his PA the last time I went. I thought I was going to see him; but, they said I'd see him once, then her. I'm going to call and get an appointment to actually talk to him and tell him that 'if' he is going to take me off it, I want to see him 'every' time I come in just to make sure I have enough seizure meds in my system.

Thank you to everyone who posted supportive comments concerning the homeschooling. So many of you face challenges on a daily basis. I appreciate the generosity of spirit and the encouragement I receive here. How lucky I am to have found this community and this thread! (Have I said thank you recently, Barbie?)

Beth ~ Glad to hear that your son's body is healing with the new pump.

Karen VA ~ So glad that your grandson is responding well to home schooling online. I so wish I had been able to have that available when my son was growing up. He absolutely hated school and over the years I noticed that a lot of the teachers I worked with had some of the same problems with their children. Today, he rues the fact that he wasted his school years.

Lenora ~ Is Hwy 19 the same as I75? Which sister were you visiting? Was that your family reunion.

Pip ~ Rooting for you and Kirby.

Michele ~ Glad you enjoyed your visit despite the snafus. I would love to visit one of the crystal clear beaches.

Lanette ~ Your deck sounds very nice.

Kylia ~ You are a very pretty lady even at 155. My weight stayed in the high 120's until I got in my 50's. Since then 40 lbs has crept up on me. Ugh!

I was less than 97 pounds until I quit waitressing in 1998. The weight started raising, then reached its max of 155 in 2003 after quitting smoking. I haven't been that high since 2009 at 139. Thank you for a compliment. I appreciate it.

Kylia

Quitting waitressing did me in too, I got up to 160 then when I quit smoking it went up even further. You are very fortunate to have stopped it in its tracks at 155. Good for you!

Tracey in Edmonton wishing I was 160 again already!

Pip - So proud of you!

Spent a lot of the day watching entertaining nonsense. Accomplished very little except burnt 800 calories. Oh well.

DH has cricket for the next four days. I have organised a lunch and a walk for Wednesday with my friend who cut her tendon. She is recovering well. No yoga on Tuesday, so I may be a bit lonely for the other three days. I really must get some writing done. Don’t want too much time to think.
A friend has emailed wanting to get together in October. I have told her I have no idea where we will be, or what we will be doing. Can't organise anything. Grrrrrrrrrr!

Edie wants an Anna dress for her birthday, so I've ordered that and also a flap book about bodies. I think the latter is a present for me! Will be seeing them in two weeks.

Heather. I have observed that you are a lovely lemonade maker. I have no doubt that you will declutter or write or visit friends or exercise or listen to podcasts or watch a program your husband isn't crazy about or make yogurt or start some sprouts or do some fall gardening or any number of other activities I have heard you mention while your husband is away. You are rather inspirational.

Carol I am rather amazed that this is a public school program - just online. I find myself quite eager to start school with my grandson in the morning. Unfortunately I have to work right after, from 3-10.
It will be OK.

Karen - I really appreciate the compliment! I will probably binge watch some recorded programmes , eat some very spicy soup, and run, read improving books and decor magazines, and write. I won't be sprouting beans as I don't want to put stuff in the freezer, nor do I want to garden for the buyers. My house is almost empty as I have decluttered so much, apart from photos, which I am too scared to start. I won't have a car, so I can't visit anyone. I love to be alone for a while, but I do get tempted to eat and my mood begins to sink after a couple of days. Especially as we are waiting on tenterhooks for crucial news about the buyer's mortgage. :noway:
DH will be here for our morning exercise session. Thank goodness, as I know my willpower would fail me on my own. I hope I can get those trainers on tomorrow after lunch for a run. I am a champion at making excuses, but have got better recently at ignoring them.
My mood changes quite a bit if I can get some writing done, so that is a priority, but sometimes I have to really force myself to the page. I will manage that, I'm sure.
I have to stop myself catastrophizing and that is harder when I'm alone. DH and I are a great support for each other.
Thank you for your belief in me. I will remember that and try to live up to your good opinion. :bigsmile:

Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxx
