    i'm seriously considering cancelling my membership at the gym. since it's been closed, i've been riding to work, i haven't gained any weight and i dunno, still some bugs to work out. this is good for this time of year but i won't be able to ride in during the winter sooooooo, i could workout at home before going to the train station but that means i won't ride to work with kirby which i don't like.

    the thing i do like about the gym, is it gives me variety to do other machines if i want. i know all the different exercises i could do at home that doesn't need a gym, that's not the problem. oh and i get to use thier shower/water :) i dunno, i still have time

    Michele- She seems fine to me wasn’t sure if you spotted something that alarmed you tho. I did ask Daughter to take a look she didn’t find anything except she’s new account in a legalized pot state (she saw 2 containers of it in her MotherDay pic she assumes it’s from a medical dispensary). I’ll take Daughter word for it my eyes aren’t good enough to see that. Her ex husband y son still involved in her life in a healthy manner which is great. If you knew her from the past she probably lost the weight had to restart to regain traction happens to many in life.

    Pip- If you think you can train without a gym would save money in the long run can always join silver sneakers later on . You seem to have enough activities like running to at home workouts can try without it if you miss it go back when it’s open.

    Allergies got a grip on me. Working out y eating in my calories again.

    BeUncommon- Nice professionalisms with your pics! I love them definitely frame worthy.
    Yeah had to stand up for my Mom a lot. American nursing schools wouldn’t accept mom after regular college. Canada 🇨🇦 did she learned beside a Doctor y stayed in their home. She was taught to sit with patients y care for kids. Dad helped her by taking her to more programs to learn to take care of kids. Helped her feel confident she could help church members by sitting with their family. Dad was a preacher so opened doors for her to use her talent to help others for free.

    Barbie > I love the pic of your parents :) Your Dad was a sailor! so cool.

    Amber > Thank you very much. Some people are to ignorant to see the beauty in others, it is very sad because they miss out on the most incredible things in life! Your Mom got what she wanted because she was brave and went after it. Due respect! Can I ask you a question, it is probably just message board chat but why do you use just a Y in areas? I would think it means why but doesn't seem to fit in the sentence..lol

    Machka > Lovely pic of your mom. she was a nurse i take it? love the hats they used to wear then.

    Wow, I agree with the specialist, how is it that it was not diagnosed along time ago. It must be such a relief to you to finally have something being done about it. You are going to feel like a new person :) Even if the GP's didn't know what they were looking for the should have at least sent you to see a specialist that does!

    Yes, my mother was a nurse and spent most of her nursing career as an emergency room nurse, on night and weekends. She liked the variety!

    Everyone tells me I'll be able to breathe better! I'm a long distance cyclist and am now getting into running, but one of the difficulties I've had is how difficult it is to breathe and how much it hurts. Perhaps, once I've recovered, that might be better. :)

    But I am strangely a little sad about my nose shape. I like my nose. I don't know what it's going to look like after!

    Machka > I wouldn't think it would make much of a difference but have they told you it will? Once you get the surgery and you realise how much different and better it is for you I'm sure you won't even worry about that! I had chronic bronchitis and used to be a smoker so I know what it is like to have difficulty breathing. Obviously, not the same situation as you but I have been smoke free for 11 years now and my breathing is so so much different and I no longer get lung infections (used to pretty much live with them) I told myself, when my daughter is old enough to know what I am doing (smoking) I will quit... that day came when she was 4. She said to her Grandma "Mummy doesn't leave the house without her camera and her smokes" The next day I quit smoking and I had smoked for 28 years (2 packs a day).

    BeUncommon- Y means “And” in Spanish I’m concentrating on what I’m going to say forget to put all of it in English is all. Habit since I was little — had to go back on school papers change it to AND before elementary teachers put me in time out for it. My son is Emilio JR y Daughter name birth certificate has to be in English but her true spelling isn’t. My name Amber is just the color of the day I was born.November the desert 🌵 is Amber colored. Cousin Heather was born in October on a heather colored Desert day

    Machka- My grandma was head nurse for the whole hospital back in the day.Had her main floor but went floor to floor to assist y finish their paperwork even assisted in surgeries.

    Amber. :o those inmates…

    >>>

    Barbie Such a wonderful photo of your stylish mother and your father in his uniform. Do you think your mother made that lovely suit?

    >>>

    Tonya the photos of your daughter are food for my soul…

    >>>

    Margaret I would have liked to have seen that rose-breasted grosbeak! They are so pretty:

    >>>

    Lisa Yep. I can imagine that your husband does need plenty of protein. I feel lucky that meat is optional for us. I think it will be fun to hone my vegetarian food prep skills.

    Amber: I’m sorry you’re having eye troubles. :flowerforyou:

    Sue: I’m delighted to hear that one of the stores in your area is selling girl scout cookies and sending the money directly to the organization. What a nice thing for them to do! :star:

    Karen in VA: I’ve been largely absent from facebook for a long while. I stop in there occasionally. :ohwell:

    Shona from France: Welcome! :smiley:

    Barbara: I haven’t read the Comte St. Germain books. :ohwell: You and DH look good in your masks. I’m glad you’re protecting yourselves. My son is the one who warned about a possible/probable meat shortage. I’ve shopped and added meats & fish to our freezers. I’ll look for things in weekly ads that seem like bargains. We have been lucky with power stability. There have been few outages since we’ve lived here. I can’t recall one, even when we had high water in the river and flooding on minor creeks. :flowerforyou:

    Lisa: We had a chest freezer years ago. Our daughter actually fell into that one while trying to retrieve a meat item for us to cook for dinner. She was fresh out of the shower and wrapped in a bath towel at the time. We dragged the chest freezer into our driveway and put a for sale sign on it. It sold that very same day and we bought an upright freezer. Now we have two of them in the garage, plus the freezer in the refrigerator. We’ll be adding to all three as attractive items are on sale.


    Does anyone remember Muppet Thanksgiving? There was also a Muppet Christmas Carol. They couldn’t bring themselves to kill and eat the turkey, so the Chef prepared a tofudy-beast. If worst comes to worst, we may all be eating roast tofudy-beast at the holidays. We’re shopping meat sales now. I’m not a tofu fan and hope to avoid tofu Thanksgiving and Christmas. I know there may be vegans, vegetarians & pescatarians in the group and mean no disrespect to them.

    Barbara - I am very impressed with Joe's hair. I love his silver curls. My poor DH is almost completely bald. :D
    I could have sent the leggings back, but it would have involved quite a lot of inconvenience to me. I am lazy. She was wearing them today when we Zoomed. :D

    Just woken up from a lovely nap. I hope I sleep tonight.

    I hope we hear from Rori soon.

    Katla- I was born premature so used to it they just unlock a cabinet make a glaucoma patient should be driving you joke then shake their head unlock a few more cabinets until they find my coke bottles . Then because only kids glasses fit my face they try to debate which type of lens can shrink it enough to fit them. Then bend the backs inward to fit my ears so they don’t slide off. I had Barbie to sponge bob glasses lol . I luckily last time the kids section had adult looking pairs so grabbed it! Also grabbed one to put back Incase they go back to cartoon characters again. My allergies are making my eyes so itchy y watery I can barely see with my glasses on Hayfever a bugger! Hubby had some eye drops of mine he put it where we can both share for now. My eye site improved a little after each pregnancy tho so been lucky enough that even tho my eyes are worse during a year later I go down a prescription for 1 or both eyes. They keep tipping about bifocals y trifocals to me but don’t want them yet.

    Last class of school year today. Lovely group to finish with.
    1st day post intensive lockdown (1) yesterday. Very cold and windy. Went to big shop to get computer charger, 2 external hard disk and flash drive. Got my CT scan today. They found nothing. Tomorrow i may be able to get a serological test. I have a prescription. Will see if i can get an apt without much delay. Am downright tired for not known reason. Not a radical change between Sunday and today. We have grown accustomed to not leaving our km.

    :)Karen, I'm sure my mother didn't make her suit. Sewing was not her thing but she was a savvy shopper and lived In NYC so was probably able to find some choices even during the war.

    :)Katla, I talked to a neighbor this morning who was just coming home from Safeway. She said she found everything she wanted but they had a limit on how many packages of meat she could buy.

    :) Gotta get busy and start vacuuming. I have put it off for too many days.

    Thank you all for your welcome! I look forward to getting to know you better through your posts.
    @BeUncommon excellent photos!
    I've been 'good " today exercise and food wise - well within my MFP calories. I'm pleased about that but home schooling has been really tough today. I have to admit that I find it hard to motivate my kids. Still, at least I didn't hit the biscuits due to stress!

    Yeah, kind of in baby love with Levi, I'm afraid. It's my daughter's last one, and I hope to see more of him once this mess is over. Of all of them.

    Love y'all,

    Well fridge and pantry is full, but its hard to figure out where anything is! Waiting in line for an hour is tedious. Went to Office Max because husband needed to buy a new ink cartridge for the printer. I bought some file folders to make friendship flip books, and glue to organize them, and washi tape to decorate them. I will show you when I am done.

    I bought 4 pieces of candy as a treat to myself.
    Today's feast was some of my roast chicken we bought. Then a salad with lettuce, blue cheese crumbles, hearty shredded sharp cheddar cheese, pickled beets, a hard boiled egg, cranberries, and walnuts with my Annie's shiitake mushroom sesame dressing I like. Then toast with avocado. Happy belly.👍
    Have a great day ladies!💖

    Pip- Will the gym let you freeze your membership? A few of the gyms around here, let us "freeze" our membership for three months each year, then the contract starts back up again after that period. KJ
