Katla I hope your new financial person works out. Finding someone you click with can be tedious and time-consuming.

When my disabled brother turns 65 this year, I am going to take him to an insurance broker so he can choose better insurance options. The premiums will all have to be able to be deducted from his SS check, because the man who runs the men's home won't pay any premiums or co-pays for the residents. The trick is to get everything taken out of the SS check before the owner receives the check. Then he'll work with whatever is left.

Lilliana day today!

rori you’ve got this, don’t react to his resistance, act like this is what is right and good for him (because, hey it is good for him). Lean on the staff a little and ask for suggestions as well, they have the experience and objectivity to deal with this. Sending strength and ❤️
Finally a work day that ends at a reasonable time—I’ve had three 12 hour days and I’m worn out! After work today I will hit the treadmill and have a good stretch.
Mary you sound (and look) wonderful-thanks for checking in! You’ve inspired many with your kettlebell routines!

I'm off in a minute to catch the train to Portsmouth. I'm going from a different station to my normal one, so Google gives me 19 minutes walk. I've done 500 calories exercise so I'm thinking another 200 might be added today as both ways, plus walking the other end will add up.
I rang Saga today as I always have to declare my blood pressure meds. for insurance.
Chilli out of the freezer for dinner tonight. DH is shopping for veg.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

morning ladies~
I slept fitfully last night ..Yesterday was absolutely horrible, Mary out sick, Aimee had training and then had to leave early so it was just me.. and the Dr, is ruthless.. I did my darndest to keep up with it all and,he was still nit picking every little thing,I had a glass of wine,chinese food and a whole bag of almond M &Ms last night,, which was really not good for me at all.. working 9:30-4:30 today .. and he will be there today too, and I am working friday and Saterday too..
we are going with a new format with Dentrix assend which we have to learn and he said he will take Mary and I and we have to do 50 patients with different scenarios and do all this so we dont mess up and say we dont know it, I dont know when he plans on doing this but we go live with it next week.. all before i go on vacation... and boy do I need this vacation..
ok enough crabbing..
will really hunker down and find a new job after i get back.. this job if I stay at will literally kill me8 -
Good morning all! Happy Thursday!
Welcome to all of the new ladies!
Rebecca- (((Athena!))) Love the pudgy legs on babies! She looks like she is getting around well! My own kids were later walkers (none of them walked until about 14 months). But I have watched many babies get up and walk around 8-9 months. I would say 11/12 months is the average.
Mary- So good to hear from you, and glad to see you are busy in a good way! I actually was thinking about you and your kettle bell routines as I was working with my free weights this morning. Must be time for me to change things up!
Rori- I am fervently hoping that your DH finds some friends and activities that he enjoys and looks forward to at the vets center. I think the stimulation of other people and activities might be good for him. (and for you) Sending love
Pip- Ugh! So glad you are okay! Sometimes I think people drive and their brains aren't fully engaged on what they are doing.
Allie- A big hug to you! I hope today goes better for you and I am really hoping that a new job finds its way into your path!
Heather- Safe travels and a wonderful visit with your Portsmouth friend!

Happy Thursday
I miss the babies! My grands are such wonderful young people, but so busy. 2021 I will have 3 teenagers Just found out that my oldest granddaughter doesn't want kids. Life changes, but she has said no for 3 years now. Maybe she will break the family Chain of graduating high school, getting married, and having babies. Life changes minute by minute though. I will live vicariously through your baby pictures!
Weather yucky today. Ice. After such a warm January it is a shock to the system. There is actually snow in the forecast. We just put all the snowblower into storage. The hope is we will need to bring them back out! Work is SLOW! I squirrel so easy when we are slow. My husband is correct, I work better when under a deadline. Yesterday I painted some new shelves for a project at work.
Went to doctor yesterday with a list of questions. I love my doctor! She listens to me and answers questions. I am awaiting bloodwork results for RA, iron, vitamin b12, and a few other things. My shoulders, hips, and knees are all inflamed. Having a hard time moving in the morning. Still on anti yeast meds. For the meantime, I am on diet restrictions. No wine, cake, cookies, chocolate, candies, or pork. She did say Patron was okay. Tired of hurting all the time. Can't take nsaids. Heat and cold for inflammation. Will keep you posted. I may need some advice when we figure out what is wrong.
I did get all my steps in last night. I am exhausted. Was in bed at 9. I am just tired. I thought of Pip's boot when I just wanted to sit last night.
Welcome to the new ladies!
Happy to see some "old" faces!
Looking forward to all the travel pictures. Safe travels to all!
Thankful for this supportive and smart group of ladies!
Have a smiley day!

Hi everyone, Good morning to all. It's going to take me a while to catch up reading as I'm 10 pages behind. THat's one day. Well, I went to Charlottesville, Va yesterday for my visit to the cancer dr. about the brain MRI. Results were: NO CANCER!! Yes, I am relieved that it hasn't come back but still have to watch for the signs of brain cancer-constant headache, can't walk straight and weight loss(rapid and not trying to lose). See you all later It's been3 1/2 yrs. since my surgery and still have some issues but overall much better. I had yogurt for breakfast-salad from home for lunch and 2 hot dogs for dinner. It's 2 1/2 hrs drive one way if you don't stop so I was exhausted last night.
See you all later.

Kelli-Love the igloo. I too loved the clydesdale commercials and was very disappointed they weren't in the Super Bowl. Did you know that there was one born just the other day. It was a GIRL so you will never see her in a hitch. Time for more reading.

Good Morning!
Marianne - So glad you received good news. Sending hugs!
Michele - My husband died in a motorcycle accident. He was a very young 65 and had been riding since he was 16. We have 3 daughters and 5 grands...we all miss him terribly.
Thank you all for being so welcoming!

Kylia were you recently on antibiotics? I just read another book on the gut biome.
The reason I ask Is you mentioned a fungal infection this can be a side effect from antibiotics. I know your restricted diet is a pain but yeast feeds on the foods you mentioned.
The antibiotics kill off the good bacteria too and leaves you open to that yeast infection.
Getting your gut healthy again will help fight the yeast infection too. Food that feed the good bacteria are veggies and lower sugar fruits like berries and avocado. (yes avocado is considered a fruit) High sugar fruits like ripe bananas fed the yeast. Foods that have probiotics might help too like yogurt with no sugar, kefir, sauerkraut that is in the refrigerated section, Kombucha are such foods.
The yeast infection is partly what is making you tired. A fungal infection can cause the inflammation you are experiencing.
The blood work should reflect what the yeast infection is doing to your body. Your gut is out of balance.
When the fungus is being killed off that will make you feel ill and tired too.
Getting your gut healthy again will also help fight off and keep the yeast infection from coming back. ((()))
You may crave breads, sweets...because that is what yeast feeds on. Knowing that may help you resist such foods.
Stef sorry for you loss. I understand how losing a loved one leaves a hole in ones life.
My way helping myself is filling my days with things fill my soul like my painting, my singing, and my subbing.5 -
Got a little behind so below from Wednesday. Catching up later.
"Todo"s and "done"Done: enter MEFCU & Thrivent 1099s, start entering charitable deductions, chiropractor, call for invoices from Dr and Electrician, more veg prep, Shingrix cost $163@ Freddie’s, Line Dance.
Bonus: set up part D profile/login,
ToDo: Tumble to groomer, BB&B, Farmers’ market, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP, Woof for gift card, Dollar General for Amy’s bday card, recycling, invest 10 mins cleaning GuestBth, carry over 10 mins Living Room, schedule DEXA scan with CHN, finish charitable deductions, write thank you note to C L, pack walk, bake bran muffins, call Carolyn D, enter mortgage interest and tax deductions when received, call Well Care for TDAP, Shingrix and Joe’s eye drops costs. Next week get Shingrix vaccine. Reward: inventory seeds, plan garden, order replenishments.
Pulled up my big girl panties and wrote that Thank You note: “Dear X, I will think of you when I read the magazine. Hope all is well with you and yours, Barbara.” The card is cute and simply says “Thank You” on the front and “very much” inside. Stamped and mailed. Thirty.
Heather you made me laugh with “dogs barking” because our dog has taught new pup to bark. She’s hypervigilant and barks at anything that’s moved, changed or new. This morning it was the Dutch broom dangling from the drier’s vibrations. Yes we occasionally hear dogs, chainsaws or gunshots from the next ridge, but never hear screeching/roaring traffic, neighbors’ music/conversations/fights, and rarely hear airplanes/helicopters overhead. Those are the noises that used to shred Joe’s nerves. Sometimes we can hear the surf. Peace. Oooh that Duoro river cruise through vineyards sounds perfect. Now I’m craving port wine, stinky chees and salted nuts, not a good thing at seven am. So happy it all fell together so quickly and well. Hooray!
Machka your university is fortunate to have you to give them such very well informed feedback. Ah yes, the puppy telegraph! Grateful it’s only occasional here, and usually a warning to bears/cougars/deer/coons. Is triple 0 the Tassie equivalent of US’ 911 (emergency fire/police/ambulance)? Beautiful view!
Margaret I’m tearing up at the three affirmative gifts you gave that young man, and hope to hear more of your future interactions with him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Sue in WA ukulele classes are popular here too, and it’s something I’m considering. Let us know how you like it?
Teri I’m in awe of your Africa room, right down to the animal prints in the quilt.
Barbie your Fit and Fall Proof class sounds great, especially the music. No music in our BB&B, would conflict with our coach’s “loving suggestions”
Allie proud of you for submitting the application and resume. Fingers Xd that is the right job for you and that they know how lucky they’d be to get you.
Lighter, lovelies!
Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMODFebruary: better than January.

All we hear where we are are the sparrows and pigeons with the occasional seagull. No traffic. Just one motorbike that goes past the front at 7.20am. We often speculate as to who he is and what his job is. The first day we moved here we sat at breakfast and said, "Isn't it quiet!!!" My worry is what will happen when either side of us sells up. Both houses are not modern and I can see whoever buys them wanting to do a complete renovation. We had more than enough of that at our last place. Landscaping is a noisy nightmare. Oh well, perhaps we will have to go on a permanent cruise.
Had a lovely fishy lunch with my friend and went for coffee afterwards to a new café. Good long chat. Sorted out the world.
I'm on the train now.
Much love, Heather UK XXXXXX4 -
Marianne Great news about your health!
Kylia Patrón is OK? I think you have a doctor with a sense of humor.
Heather I'm so glad you had a good visit with your friend!
Barbara Yay for writing the thank you note. I know how hard that can be. I'm not good at it.
Margaret Painting, Singing, and Teaching sound like food for the soul.
NYKAREN So glad your challenging week is over. It sounds as if you survived admirably!
Allie (((Hugs)))

Lilliana is taking a nice long nap! She'll be ravenous when she wakes up.
