    Huh, I just ordered Sweating to the Oldies from Amazon. I actually used to like them. We'll see how that goes.

    :) I bought them awhile back and I love them. I especially love that the people in the videos are all ages and sizes and shapes.

    Saturday -- My husband and I cycled up the Pipeline Track. It's a trail partway up Mt Wellington. At first there are a few houses around, and then the trail continues into the bush up the mountain. It was lovely!

    Now ... his Strava says about 25 km. I don't know why there's such a difference give that we did the same ride. But anyway ...
    Machka - I'm SO glad to read this! You've both come a long way. :heart:

    Lisa - Speaking of well deserved, it's good to hear that you're getting some props for your grant-writing skills. I wasn't posting at the time, but I saw how poorly you were treated by that interim director. It made my blood boil!

    Ditto, big time on the congrats to Machka for such amazing progress for both you and your husband. Every time you get him on the bike, you're bringing the man you love back to life.

    And thank you, Penny... I've gone through the stages and out the other side to "don't burn bridges," and it's corollary from Frank Sinatra, that the best revenge (not my favorite word) is massive success. That's MY story, and I'm sticking to it. :smiley:

    Trying not to write my letter of resignation until I have another job in hand is taxing my willpower... :blush:

    Love y'all!

    Yeah, I'm gonna find a battery for my Misfit (like a Fit Bit, but cheaper) again and start tracking my exercise.

    Kathy: Where are you from? Welcome to a great group of supportive women! :star:

    Willow: Welcome. There are several women living in Washington State, and several in Oregon, too. I hope you’ll post often and get to know us. :flowerforyou:

    Cari in TX: I think you have a great way to look for a doctor. I hope you find a good match. :smiley:

    Sue in WA: SEATAC is not my favorite airport. We flew out of there one time. Luckily our travel savvy DDIL was with us and helped us through finding gates, & navigating inside the airport. Our son dropped all of us off. When we returned we had an uber driver take us back to their place. We left our car at their place and didn’t have to pay a long-term parking fee at SEATAC. I am not actually cmfortable with uber. Hopping into a strange car with a stranger doesn’t fit my idea of safe. :noway:

    Michele: I’m sorry about your water class. I went to yoga yesterday and the teacher was at home, sick. I was disappointed because I enjoy yoga so much, but things happen. I rode an exercise bike for a while and came home. :ohwell:

    TerriRichards: Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays we have. It brings people together to share a meal and the comradery of friends and family without the stress of gift giving. Last year we went to visit DSIL for Thanksgiving and had a lovely time. This Thanksgiving we are likely to be alone. :ohwell: I wonder if we can change that situation.


    17: What knowledge are you grateful for? There are so many things to choose from. Knowing how to read is my choice for today. Reading expands my understanding and leads me to new knowledge and ideas. It connects me with other readers and writers, and friends here. It provides entertainment.

    Nope! If any item can be found that has a bicycle or an Airstream on it, Pip and Kirby are lining up to buy one. And if it can't be found, maybe they'll order it special. :lol:

    Way to go Heather! Isn't it fun finishing high in your group?

    Today's gratitude

    17. Knowledge - I'm grateful for the knowledge that comes with age and experience – knowing that what feels like I'll-never-be-able-to-live-this-down embarassing will probably be forgotten next week.

    Pip, that curtain is perfect for you!
    Penny and Heather congrats on the running! I keep telling myself that I'm going to start running again...
    Lisa, I really understand your wish to do up the resignation letter! You could do it up, just don't send it yet... That way you can spend the next little while tweaking anything that you feel needs tweaking. Congrats on the grant! That group is really going to miss you, that interim director may not think so, but she'll figure it out when you're no longer there!

    I have been thinking about trying to get back into running, but it seems that every time I get on the treadmill, I just set it to hills and valleys and just walk it. I walk at a good pace, but still... I really liked the treadmills at the rec centre that I used to go to, they had an interval program, it was 1 min on flat, 2 min on a hill, 1 min flat again and then 1 min at a higher speed. It meant I didn't have to think, just do. I definitely need to shake up my exercise routine, something is not working properly. Although maybe what I really need to do is shake up my eating... sigh. A work in progress.
    Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!

    Katla, Thank you. I noticed a lot of y'all were in the PNW.

    Pip, that curtain looks awesome. I actually dislike doors, especially closet doors, and take them down whenever I can. It's a thing. I love curtains though. And yours is great.

    Margaret—Our first home had a radon issue. The rule in NC was that it had to be disclosed if they knew, but not remedied. We had a full, half-light basement, and my husband planned on spending a lot of time down there with his computers. To fix it, we hired a company that specialized in it. They drilled down through the foundation, and set up a pipe and fan to pull the radon from the basement, up through the house, and out the attic. The pipe was concealed in an upstairs closet, and there was a gauge to check to make sure the fan was working. It's all about ventilation.

    Fortunately radon came out Okay. One less thing to do!

    Yes thank you again from all reminding me about changing the locks.

    After
    We had to remove the French doors, 😢. When we got the new washer, it was a bit deeper than the old one so we couldn’t close the door. Sooo got a cool curtain instead! How does it look!!
