    Did Elle Glam Total Toning DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to take the water class.

    Didn’t completely finish the DVD but did most of it. Had to leave for the dentist. Bad news is that there’s decay behind one of my crowns so he needs to take it off, clean there, then put a new crown on. Good news is that if I do it now, I may save myself from having to get a root canal. Compare the two of them, the root canal is the most expensive. I’ve made the appt. for March.

    After the dentist stopped at the food kitchen to give them some donations, then stopped to see Lynette. She had two coupons for Ruby Tuesday, buy one entrée get on free. I have a $15 card so we will go tonight since this is the only day the coupon is good for and hopefully get two dinners for free. As I recall, they had salmon and I think last time I got a sweet potato and steamed broccoli or some other vege. That’s probably what I’ll get. Why I had to ask her for one, I don’t know. Update: the small print says that it can't be combined with any other offer and the $15 coupon I have is another offer.

    Afterwards, volunteered at the Green Room, then renewed my Sam’s membership, went to Aldi to get cookies for the rum balls I’ll make for Jess, then went to Home Depot to get another box for Christmas things. Now home. Phew! Yes, this was all on my way

    Felicia – I’m sorry you were stung but glad to hear that it’s not real bad.

    Cari – I like doing different things because if you do the same thing over and over, your body gets used to it and then isn’t as efficient. But I do like the extremepump class and the water class.

    Welcome everyone new!

    Penny – scary pictures. Wish I could have read it, tho. Stay safe.

    KJ – Waiting is so hard. My prayers. Let us know when the surgery date is scheduled

    Had dinner at Ruby Tuesday, had the blackened tilapia, broccoli and zucchini, just water to drink. Then went to AC Moore, the people couldn’t help me unfortunately. After dinner stopped at Aldi to get Vince milk (I didn't realize he was so low) Then went to the dollar store to get Valentine’s day cards for Denise and Jess.

    Sue in WA – Oh no!!!

    M – big congrats on passing your course

    Just curious- why so few calories.

    Just a fly by here. Assisting with looking after twins and a 22 mo old takes a lot of time and is exhausting! Managing to stay on track so I hope to see a loss when I go home tomorrow for one night shift.
    Keep strong

    KJ ditto all the good wishes for the surgery and biopsy to be all clear.
    Machka thanks for posting the pics, looks like you found the ideal location for you and your husband to rest and recreate. Love the duck!
    Penny amazed the dogs are able to keep their feet in that wind!
    Barbie" ...trade what they want most for what they want at the moment," yes that was it! Thank you!
    Sue in WA hoping cardiologist finds no damage from chemo, and that alternatives end up being better.
    Michele I'd take a crown re-do over a root canal any day, and not just because of the co$t. Root canals can be brutal.

    Welcome Aliza!

    Lighter, lovelies!

    Barbie I'll look into the decluttering book you mentioned. Like the idea of "procrasticlutter" and "visible clutter" I think I could work with that :drinker:

    I have managed to declutter quite a bit, but I've still a long way to go. I don't find it easy to get rid of things, I always think they have either sentimental value, or else I might need it one day. I must admit though since I got rid of some furniture in the living room it does look better. I heard somewhere (can't remember where) that you should look at an item and ask "does this bring me joy" and DD and myself do have a bit of a laugh with this and use it for lots of different scenarios "This dog walk is not bringing me joy" :laugh:
    Storage is another problem!

    Michele I don't know how you find time to exercise, you always seem so busy, you put me to shame. I start exercising and it is going well, then something happens and it throws me off course. Consistency should be my word of the month instead of Positivity. Maybe next month.

    Penny I think our little collie dog would get blown over in that wind :) You must have really good clothing to cope with the cold, I think I would freeze. Keep safe!

    Congrats to M :drinker:

    Barbara you have reminded me to start back with SWSY, I put the link on my desktop so I could find it easily, now dad is back home and we are not going to the hospital every day I have the time!

    Best get on time is running away with me again

    Mack’s had to smile at the duck quote. I use the analogy a lot in my teaching, there is a lot of unseen work going on when you learn and perform music. I’m always asking the kids to play as relaxed as a duck on water, while counting furiously in their heads! Made me smile this a.m.

    Happy and healthy Friday today for all.

    Oh Katla~so sorry to hear about that, never fun cleaning bedding when there has been an accident..

    working 12-5 today and then tomorrow as usual...thenI have the rest of the weekend to myself sorta, with taking care of Kitty sort of puts a wrench in the monkey works, but she is a dear so I will do what I need to do..

    Sue - So sorry for your worries about your DH. :'( Hope you get some positive answers.

    KJ - That seems a long time to wait! Can't you nag them to move it forward. <3<3<3

    I've been making enquiries about exercise classes, but I'm having trouble finding anything that suits. I will ring a yoga centre today, but I really want a more community centred group. Plus most of the timings don't suit me.
    I have also been in touch with a glazier about the dresser glass. He's coming to look at it next week.
    Feeling a bit low in energy. Dragged through my morning exercises. But I did them.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Machka - it a wonder you get any time to do anything trying to juggle it all. I admire you for sticking to your exercise and personal health goals. I feel I would not be doing the same. Project Manager might not hurt.

    One of the things I do is to exercise as part of my daily life. So I walk to get places, up and down hills, and some distance, often carrying quite a heavy load.

    I also work in a 10-storey office, so I hike stairs from time to time.

    So if I don't have time for anything else, I'll get some of that in at least.


    But my personal health goals did kind of fall apart a bit in 2018. Just too much stress. Hopefully I can get things back on track at least somewhat this year.

    :)Katla, My daily walking friend cared for her husband who had Alzheimer's. She had many middle of the night experiences like the one you described with your husband. She was always cheerful about it but liked that she had me to tell about it. I learned so much from her and her positive attitude about caring for her husband.

    :)Viv, It helped me to read books about decluttering and minimal living. I needed to rethink a lot of my attitudes before I could take action. I have a whole new attitude about sentimental items. One thing I did was to takes photos of sentimental items before giving them away. The other thing is to start with things that aren't so sentimental. Starting with clothing or kitchen is easier than starting with photos.

    :) Today is the day I teach my line dance class. I am expecting a new student so I'll have to slow the pace a bit.

    well back from walking the dogs and feed DFIL, he was a pill today he saved a mouth full of vanilla protein shake to spit all down his clothes after I got his apron off.. ughhh I took him to his room and put on another shirt...
    I asked a question of Tom that I never asked before.. Let him stew a little bit and I asked for an honest answer .. asked what did I do that you wanted to date someone else? what in your opinion was wrong with our marriage? and asked for an honest answer.. Well even though everything is said and done I would like the answer to the question, I did nothing wrong ,and I know it is on him.. but would like to see what he has to say about it.. should be an interesting answer...
    going to work at noon, just had 1/2 a ham and swiss omelet..
