    Viv, :) I love your kitchen pictures. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Also will be interested in hearing about how you feel when you use the new kitchen. About sinks--one of the first places I lived was in the Bachelor Officers Quarters at Naha Air Force Base in Okinawa. I had a stove and refrigerator in an alcove in the one room residence. I cooked many interesting meals for myself and guests but had to wash my dishes in the bathtub. I still appreciate my kitchen sink because of that experience.

    Flea ~ So sorry of the worry you are going through with your family situation. And, that is a beautiful spider web.

    Rori--I know how it is as my DH can eat anything and everything and not gain weight. And there are days where he will go all day and not eat.

    Sue--Great news on roof.

    Another cold day here, I am working and then need to get home and get some work done. But spacing off a lot and that has to stop.
    Blessings, Vicki GI NE <3

    Caught up on reading, not much time for much else tho. Just a couple of quick things (that I remember)
    Janetr, so sorry to hear about your sister passing. Happy Birthday, I'm glad you had such a wonderful time with your family.
    Flea, I do NOT want to meet the spider that spun that web!
    Congrats to those celebrating, hugs to those needing them and welcome to the newbies!

    I finished a walk on the treadmill on my lunch hour today. I completed most of the 33 minutes at a speed of 3.2 and was thinking about turning it up higher but was sure I'd get too tired and not get to at least 30 minutes. I happened to look over at a coworker (very thin and fit) and she was going 4.0 without hardly breaking a sweat or breathing faster. Gosh. Well something to strive for I guess. Since this treadmill adventure has only been for about one month I'll be more patient with myself.

    Hello! Just found this thread today. I'm in the process of recovering from surgery at the moment, but am willing to do what I can while on the mend as I am not allowed to move around too much until cleared by the surgeon to ensure that the incision is beyond the risk of reopening. My goal is to be in decent physical shape to be able to return to motorcycle riding in the spring. Any motivation/support I can get is a plus for me! Looking to get back in the saddle! :smile:

    Hello drac2you in Bedford,

    I would caution you to not do too much after surgery, you might have a set back and recovery might be prolonged. After you are cleared by the surgeon, then with the motivation I can hear coming thru in your post you will certainly be riding your motorcycle in the Spring. I hope the Spring comes early! You might want to discuss with your surgeon the specific exercising you are planning to do to see what he/she says. Then have at it. :)

    Hoping to get more active this weekend again ... the medication I was on for the spider bite was supposed to give me energy (that was a side effect), instead I just felt dizzy and blech by the time I got home from work.

    It's done now and bite is fading.

    I'm planning to spray the bedroom with bug spray on Saturday morning. We're going out for a couple hours so I figure that's a good time to do it. I don't like being there right after I've sprayed.

    Drac – welcome

    M – how in the world can you possibly get MORE active????? I get tired just reading everything you do in one day. Good news about the bite

    Had Newcomer bowling today. Talked to the guy who is the treasurer. He was saying that they don’t have ANYONE for the board. His feeling seems to be basically “I really don’t care because come January I am OUT.” Well, this is what happens when you twist people’s arms to do things that they really don’t want to do. I understand the president now was told that she needs to serve two years, one as president and one as past president. Her answer was “no one told me, that’s not going to happen”. I still say that a memo needs to go out to the membership saying that if people don’t step up to do some jobs, the organization will have no recourse but to disband. But I know they won’t. They didn’t have a secretary this past year, and so people will feel “let someone else do it” Oh well, I served my time, so did Vince.

    I did bowl tonight, but I think I’m going to get a good night’s sleep. Still have a slight headache.
