    M I second about getting things in order. I will add give yourself time and a dose of patience to get through the process. I made a check list to make sure things are done. I write down what I have done to get process done and a date to follow through to make sure it is. Next I make a copy of documents that prove it is done and I am making a file for lawyer and self so when who had to deal with our estate everything is there and hopefully no surprises and all will be in our trust. Just because I sent in the paperwork I do not assume it is done. Just had a case where they asked for an extra form. This form did not get connected to my other paperwork until I followed up. I did get invited to a lunch in a fancy suburb to talk about investing. I think I was supposed to be impressed. What I wish I would have said is what would have impressed me is that getting the process done I needed without another phone call now that would have impressed me. Humor does help.

    :) When the shingles vaccine came out quite a few years ago, Jake and I rushed out immediately to get it even though our insurance didn't cover it, and it cost $200.00 for each of us. I said, "I'd give anything to not get shingles" and in the case "anything" meant money. Now we'd love to get the new two shot vaccine but it's hard to come by and we're on a waiting list for it.

    Good morning ladies!

    Rho - I have never tried a shelf bra - I like the one with the tank top you showed. Is it long enough for you? I'm tall like you - 5' 8 1/2" and very long-waisted. I'm not the biggest fan of underwires but those bras seem to stay put the best on me. Not into going bra-less quite yet.... trying my best to thwart the pull of gravity. B)

    Janetr     - so glad you are feeling better from the dye. One of my friends recently had a MRI, surprised her by injecting dye which she reacted to and threw her for a loop.

    Yvonne     - I keep forgetting to thank you for your daily "Day" posts. Always enjoy them and look forward to them. AND I learn something!!

    Curly hair     - mine is naturally curly in spots, lol. With age, the hair growing from my temples is straight, the top curly. I rarely take a comb or brush to it or else frizz city. If it gets out of hand I put a dab of "product" on it and spread it through with my fingers, let it dry naturally.

    My little Subaru made it into the shop yesterday, back home with new belts, battery, alternator. Should be good to go for a long time. Savings account took a little hit but these days, it's about the same as a couple visits to the vet for my little dogs when they get sick.

    Hoping to have lunch with a GF today and get my shopping done.

    Make it a great day, ladies! <3

    Did Gin Miller’s Simply Endurance DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to take the water aerobics class. I’m also probably going to start taking the Actonel so I’ll take it when I take the water class since I don’t do any exercise before the class. I can just sit on the computer for the ½ hour

    Lisa – big congrats on being asked to sign your books.

    Allie – Tom is taking Chester somewhere to get the fluids? When we had to give Sassy fluids, we did it ourselves. Now Vince agrees that he shouldn’t have gone to the measures he did. Trust me, when Lexi passes, it will hit him real real hard. Even now just thinking about it makes him start crying. He’s probably the same way as Tom, really doesn’t have the belief that we’ll see our pets again one day. I think that’s why it’s so much easier for me to accept the death of a pet, I believe we will see them again.

    Pip – what kind of HRM do you have? I have a Timex but then again, I only use it when I take a spinning class or do a downloadable workout for the spinning bike. I would be interested if that one ever goes.

    The flu jab isn't available yet, ;) but I've got an appointment for the shingles. By mistake I made it for DH's birthday. I can either change it, or do something later in the day with him. Might change it tomorrow. The vaccine is free for over 70s, but it sounds like it's the old fashioned variety.
    I did have shingles once, round my waist, but got away with it lightly as it was caught early and I was put on anti-virals.
    My ex had it really badly in the eye area. Horrible pain and months to get over it. He was only about 21.

    Still dragging. I've done 30 mins rowing and been out to the shops. Dinner is in the IP. Chicken, lentil, spinach and pea curry. I do rice for DH.

    Nice, Lisa! :D

    Much love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxx

    i actually have two that i run, on my stats you'll see the apple watch, that's on my wrist. I have a chest strap that is a wahoo fitness tracker. if one fails, i go by the other one.

    I also have two different wahoo fitness tracker HRMs one is a plain one and the other is has some extra connectivity that tracks me on the treadmill.

    Plus my treadmill came with an HRM if I want to use it.

    Plus I have a Polar one which I used on the bicycle outside. I'm not sure if I'll continue using that one outside or if I'll go with one of the wahoo's.

    We just end up collecting these things!

    Beth , thank you, that's a good idea about sharing my reaction. The nuclear med technician did tell me that it is a fairly common reaction, some have a worse reaction than others and some have none at all.

    Bad luck on my restart. Had a bad fall sprained my ankle and broke my fibula last night. UGHH! Was on such a good role with my diet and exercise. Now I can’t even put weight on my leg and can’t workout for awhile. Though hobbling around on crutches is it’s own kind of workout.

    Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that the pain's not too bad. Crutches and I don't get along. 😞
