    Accomplished a good patch of garden on this glorious day! Had a 4 mile walk with bff and an hour phone conversation with my sister (MJ) who suffers with anxiety and now insomnia. She is struggling on meds but they’re not really kicking in. OCD, and anxiety run strong in my family, I hope I helped a little just by listening and supporting.

    Gretchen Rubin is on PBS right now, so gonna run!

    @ginnytez and @Machka9 I'm thinking the same thing for arms. I saw a video with Anna Wintour in short sleeves with loose-skinned arms. I figure if she can be filmed like that I can exist with bare arms sometimes. and all the better with a little rowing!

    @Machka9 is that par for the course to have things not studied on the exam or to have so much surprise element in the exams?

    @auntiebk I use Wix.com which has a free version and there are surely many tutorials on line. it's pretty easy to get with a little tenacity. @Machka9 works in the field so can probably explain and advise better than me.

    DS and DDIL came back from the Elton John concert absolutely stunned by it. Fabulous. At 72 he played for 2 hrs 40 mins with his old band and gave it his all. They had the best seats near the front for my son's 40th birthday and all the celebs were there. :D The rain held off. I was so glad we could babysit for them so they could have a once in a lifetime experience. <3

    DDIL is in a national newspaper today about her new book coming out on Thursday. :D
    I will post the link when I've copied it. Her book is called THE IMPOSTER CURE.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Oh my gosh. How awesome is that? I love love love Elton John. So much talent.

    Websites

    Wix is apparently very easy to use. I've never used it so I can't comment, but that's what the reviews say.

    One other piece of advice is to do a Google search on similar sites in your area. So maybe look for sites on pets. If you see one you like, scroll down to the bottom of the site where the copyright information is and see who developed the site. Click on their name and maybe they're someone you can use to help you.

    Next right click on the site and select 'View page source' ... the code used to create the site will come up. Somewhere near the top, however, it should say what product was used to help them create the site, if a product was used. It will be in a line that says something like:

    meta name="generator" content="WordPress or Wix or whatever they used"


    Exams

    Yes, it is par for the course to have things not studied on the exam here at this university. I've attended a lot of post-secondary institutions and have a lot of degrees, diplomas and certificates, and I've rarely encountered exams like the ones at this university. At other educational institutions I've been able to study for an exam and occasionally nail it and get 100% ... but never here.

    One course's exam was so bad that we students got together and protested the exam. We had all attended every class, done every tutorial, and had done really well on the assignments ... and we had all sat in the exam with a horrible sinking feeling that we were going to fail the course. Fortunately, it went to review and we passed but I think the exam was heavily curved.

    My mark going into this exam is very high. I've done well on the course material. But there's a really good chance I'll just end up with a mid-range mark when the final results come out.



    Arms

    I think the pilates class is also helping my arms. :) I should add some weights into the mix and might do once this course is finished.

    JR – the WalMart app will USUALLY tell you where the item is. Of course, once you get to the right aisle, you need to search. But at least you aren’t searching the whole store

    Julie – yes, there are times when I don’t want to log when I overindulge a lot. I think that’s normal. But then I keep saying “the only person you’re fooling is yourself”

    Pip – I really applaud you for not wanting to prolong winkle if needed. We had a cat who had cancer. Vince was bound and determined to give the cat chemo. I honestly thought this was cruel (not to mention expensive). I refused to take the cat to office visits unless I absolutely had to. Vince said to me “what if you had cancer, wouldn’t you want chemo?” He was surprised by my answer. I told him “if I was 60 and had grandchildren to look forward to – then yes. But if I was 80 and had lived my life – no.”

    Allie – be sure to check out the cost of living in Sarasota. Jess has a friend who took a job in Ohio as a vet. She said she isn’t making as much as she made in Reston, but in the end she’s coming out ahead because the cost of living is so much less.

    Having the Newcomer pool party on July 27 then a pool party just for the people on our street on August 10. The president of Newcomers sent out the agenda for the next general meeting where she mentioned the pontoon party but didn’t mention the pool party so I asked if it was just an oversight. She said it was. I wonder?????? Oh well…..whatever

    Drkatie – wow! Love the new glasses and do

    Allie – for how long have you been saying that you are looking for another job? Check this out. That doesn’t mean that you have to take the job. If you were to take a few days off without pay, I’m sure Tom would help you out financially – or Elena. You own it to yourself to check this out.

    I, too, have too many clothes. But I also know that almost all of them came from the Salvation Army so when I get tired of them, I don’t feel bad about giving them away.
