    Good Morning,
    Happy Birthday Rita!

    For those in caregiver roles- please remember to take care of yourselves first. You need to be healthy to be strong in your care. Prayers!

    Ginny I couldn't find swimsuits I liked around here either when I won a trip to Punta Cana. I ended up going to Venus dot com and got several well priced suits. Just a thought. I hope your day goes smoothly. Congratulations on the muscle tone.

    Allie You've got this!!!!!!

    Machka Yay on the tooth!

    SuziQ I love that arrangement! My former employer did a lot exotic flower arrangements. They are my favorite! I haven't found another local florist that does them well.

    You ladies are such inspirations for exercise!

    Filling out medical forms.....record keeping is such a pain....Since there are really only 2 medical systems in place here, and I have been in them for at least 26 years, you would think they would have all of this! Luckily, I had paperwork for what surgeries I had when since I have met my husband. Just goes to enforce the need for an "in case of emergency" book. I reckon I will add that to my March list. My medication list is short, my husband's is not. What surgeries, what health concerns, family history, etc. Need to add speak with lawyer about wills and or trusts. Need to change my name on one of the titles of our rental properties. Need to check out deed for a property my husband and his mom own to make sure it is written correctly for it to pass to him. Will start with notebook as first step for known items.

    So my son in law was out sick yesterday. My SIL left at 10:30 for dr appointment as she is still sick. She has bronchitis. SIL will at least be at work for a short while today as we have at least 2 if not 3 semis coming in with equipment to unload. I have had to do it in the past, but I am neither fast nor expert in it. Darn it, I can do most anything at shop, I shouldn't have to do everything. I did get all the lawnmowers washed yesterday so that I could call them to come pick up.

    Welcome to the new ladies!
    Congratulations to all the daily NSV's

    Hugs to all just because! And they are virtual so safe! ;)

    "Get to do"s and "chose well"s
    Chose well: BB&B, dogwalk with Joe.
    Bonus:
    Get to do: invest 10 mins cleaning Living Room carry over clean Master Bth, Kitchen/Laundry, veg prep, board meeting minutes, massage, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, bake cheddar corn muffins and make chili for Lenten soup supper, call Diane, Carolyn D, get Shingrix vaccine, follow up with Doug for iCloud for Win10. Reward: inventory seeds, plan garden, order replenishments.

    We were more mindfully wiping down equipment in exercise class today. Avoiding door knobs and handles when possible and washing washing washing hands. Think I’ll pick up some Lysol spray in town this afternoon. If COV19 comes to our county it will probably mean hiatus of dog group, line dancing and maybe even church. Thankful both Joe’s and my health is generally ok.

    Thanks again for all the birthday wishes, and Happy Birthday to yooouuuu Rita!
    LuciB is CBD legal where you are? I’ve heard that CBD offers some pain/anxiety relief.
    Katla neither will I ever put any burning thing in my mouth to smoke ever again never! Edibles, now, are another matter entirely, and the explosion of options is mind boggling.
    Rori thankful to hear of DH’s positive first Vet’s club, experience. Hope he forgets his reluctance to go two days in a row.
    Lisa beautiful weaving, Pat your owl made me smile.
    Allie “the Dr trying to get me to stay” it is to laugh! I am rolling on the floor having trouble keeping from p’ing!
    Margaret thanks for the “keeping wipes in the car” tip.
    Rebecca Athena Rose’s smile what a gift!
    Machka never thought I’d say this, but… “Hooray for the dentist!”
    Got2bjb Con VERY gratulations on discarding those 79 pounds. Well done!
    Karen in VA The Ross Sisters performing ‘Solid Potato Salad’ O M G!!!

    Welcome @mcbf42, @dcresider @paulab4me7982, Celia in TX, Anna in OK, welcome back @bettyann55

    Not a brilliant start to a “better than” month. Two days of overindulgence, done with that! Today calls for more fruit, veggies, H20, activity in the fresh air . . . and maybe a little cleaning ;)

    Lighter, lovelies!

    I still think part of why I got the Swine flu is about a month before it hit I got Montezuma's revenge and my gut was in bad shape. A reminder if you do get a high temp not to use aspirin to bring it down. I was lucky when I took aspirin to bring my fever down I did not get Reye's syndrome. Even for adults it is a problem when fevers are high. My spiked out at 105. I remember having a metal taste in my mouth when it was over. Common with high temps.

    Since I've worked to keep my gut healthy by eating lots of veggies and whole grains and a probiotic like unsweetened yogurt and/or Kombucha I have had fewer illnesses and their duration is shorter. Now I am upping my hand washing and using more wipes. I am also trying to work at decreasing mouth breathing.

    I think because I got so sick with Swine flu I try to be proactive.

    :) Tuesday is my day for weekly Fosamax--the drug that fights the osteoporosis that resulted in a spinal compression fracture in 2018 that kept me in bed nearly all day for a month and kept me from dancing from July to November. The pill has to be taken first thing in the morning with a 6-8 ounces of water followed by being upright and not eating and drinking for 30 minutes. Fortunately for me, I walk the dogs right after that and by the time we get back and I fix my breakfast, more than 30 minutes has elapsed. Mobility is one of the usual entries in my gratitude journal.

    :) I am reading an interesting book, "A History of the World in 6 Glasses" by Tom Standage. It traces world history as it has been influenced by beer, wine, distilled spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. I just finished reading a section about how religious and civic leaders objected to coffee because it was considered "intoxicating".

    :) Today is "Fit and Fall Proof Class". After I walk the dogs, I'll change coats and shoes and walk over to the clubhouse for the class. I'm looking forward to it. Jake may go with me.

    :)Machka, I do the same thing you do, go through my friends list and delete the ones that haven't logged in for over a month. I just haven't had to delete a friend for behaviour I consider unpleasant or inappropriate.

    Karen in VA: I agree with you about the sensationalism in social media. There have been cases of Corona Virus in Oregon that have been reported in the TV news and there have also been reported case in Washington State in local and national news. I can certainly see why there is a fear factor at work. I plan to go about my regular business from yoga classes to grocery shopping. I’m leaving DH a home for those excursions due to his many health issues. :ohwell:

    Barbara: You are smart not to put burning things in your mouth. I have had that same practice for decades. Edibles are, indeed, another matter. In truth, I haven’t had them in decades, either. In the distant past I fed my parents pot roast (literally) at my house. They were more mellow than I’d ever seen them and repeatedly remarked about how good it was. :flowerforyou:

    Barbie: I take my Fosamax on Sunday mornings before coffee or any other substance. The version I use is once weekly and I haven’t had a fracture since I started taking it. Prior to fosamax I had two wrist factures in separate falls on unseen ice. I’m very careful when it is icy outside since those falls. :star: I’d like to know more about your Fit and Fall Proof class.


    I have nothing on my schedule today but anticipate a trip to the grocery store. That seems to happen almost every day.

    The singing was WONDERFUL today. We have our lovely teacher Jason back. :D We were singing through new songs for a couple of concerts the group is giving in the near future. We can't attend the concerts because we have other arrangements including the cruise. If we don't go on that, we can sing at the concert. The last one, in May, is to celebrate VE day WW2, 75th anniversary. We sang a lot of old songs that I used to sing with my mum and grandparents. I did have a tear in my eye a few times. Some were from WW1 and some from WW2. Plus some music hall, that we used to sing in the car and with my gran.
    Everyone knew all the tunes, so we made a big noise! :D
    Only eight of us stayed for Classical, but we were in good voice.

    If I had been standing up, that would have made me fall down laughing. As it was, I snorted out my iced tea... That's one of the funniest things I've seen in years, Katla.

    Karen in VA: Holy Moly the Ross sisters were flexible! Is this from the 1940’s? Thanks for the entertainment. :star:

    Machka: Congrats on your tooth! :smiley:

    Barbie: I recently had a bone density scan and will be continuing with the Fosamax. I don’t think my situation has worsened. It is not worse, but isn’t good enough to quit meds. :noway:

    Rita: I am so sorry to hear of the tornado deaths in TN. Working with the first responders has got to be hideous and heart wrenching. Your DD’s sweetie may need to have some moral support after this. Hopefully his fire department will provide needed moral support.


    Today is garbage day in our neighborhood and I had a lovely chat with neighbors I rarely see as we all brought in our garbage and recycling bins.

    Stay well and healthy, my friends.

    Peachy: I’m happy t hear that your friends in Hendersonville are safe. :flowerforyou:

    I picked up prescriptions at the pharmacy and a few groceries this morning. It is a calm day here, but not a warm one. I’m sitting near a heater at this very minute.

    Took the Power Hour class today. The plan for tomorrow is to do some HIIT

    Rori – I’m so happy your hubby had such a positive experience at the Vets. Lets hope this is the start of something that he loves

    Saw this on facebook: the Coronovirus won’t last long. It was made in China <smile>

    Got2b2-yea (did I get your name right?)

    M – that’s exactly what I do, delete someone if they haven’t logged in in 6 months. Admitted, I usually go to 8 months around the holiday time. I realize that sometimes things can get really hectic around the holidays. I like what you have in your “about me”. I just might do that myself except for the cycling part. I usually send friend requests only to someone on here and only if they’ve been here at least a few weeks. Unfortunately, we have people who come here, post once, and then we never hear from them again

    After exercise stopped at Dollar Tree, needed Lysol concentrate. Then home and out by the pool. Came in and we went to Lowes hardware. I really want different border at the house (in NC) but Vince wants to see it, so he found something at Lowes like what I found on Amazon. Don’t know if it’s the same stuff or not. Then into the pool (didn’t go in before, just laid out by the pool). Still not sure why they don’t purchase more lounge chairs for the pool but so many chairs

    Rita- my prayers are for all those affected by the storms. I guess I didnt realize how lucky we were in Dayton when we had like 10 tornados touch down one evening last spring. We only had one death. Lots of businesses still not back up. Lots of communities still in transition mode. But recovery happening just the same. Prayers continuing for the folks in TN.

    Busy day again at work-yay! The day goes much faster! Son in law was grumpy, but I know he doesn't feel good. Husband is currently getting a massage. I am waiting. My friend did fix a broken nail for me before she left her office. I broke it in the nail bed.Ouch! Another couple of weeks and it should be grown out. It was nice to just chat and get my nails filed and clear coat.

    Laundry finished this morning. That includes the last load which I usually forget in the dryer-:)

    Lots of veggies for lunch. Yummy! 9000 steps at work today. Now to get some protein and yogurt in tonight. I have missed my afternoon yogurt with fruit and granola. We have been busy, then it is time to go home. Sun shine today was nice too!

    I am sure there was more.....
