    Machka - do you have a website where I can print the calendars that you post? I cannot read them on my phone.

    Rita - hubby and I both enjoyed your alien.

    Michele - I was taught through work that shields are not as effective as masks. Droplets can fall down from the shield and isn’t captured like it is in a mask. I would assume though that in a grocery store setting it would suffice, in healthcare it wouldn’t. They have to use a mask.

    Katla - I hope you find a way to get the CBD to your dog. Enjoy your blueberries!

    Ginny - I had the test two weeks ago, a bit uncomfortable but not too bad.
    It must be hard remembering the last days with your husband. I still wish I didn’t have the memories I have of my Dad in his last few days maybe some point I’ll forget.

    I am struggling trying to stay motivated at work. My boss and I are not seeing eye to eye and I don’t know what to do. I have tried talking to her but don’t feel I got very far. I can’t afford to just quit and there are not many jobs around right now so I just have to suck it up and deal. It has affected my sleep this week which has made it even worse.

    Hubby got a call today from the doctor, his blood test results are in and they are putting him on meds for diabetes. He has the trifecta, blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes. He had done well before Covid hit and lost some weight. We have both had setbacks since this happened. One reason to start was I was trying to avoid shopping so wasn’t buy as many fresh foods. I need to get better again.

    Dflk – red okra isn’t as “liquidy” as the green. I don’t know how to describe it. Not as gummy, you know, the stuff inside the okra

    Went to another Food Lion this morning to see if they had the ice cream Steve likes, but they don’t. Got another brand, but it was lactose free and no one will eat it. I’ll see if I can find someone who will eat it.

    Cheri     – are those blankets all c2c?

    Off to bed.

    Been busy working on numerous afghans for Project Linus. We haven't met in quite awhile due to COVID situation. These are ready to be donated to a local adoption agency.

    Did a 4 mile Leslie Sansone Walk at Home video on YouTube TV today. Just love her workouts.

    Had a virtual book club this evening. We read and discussed People of the Book by Gerldinr Brooks. We are reading Daring Greatly by Brene Brown for August.

    Best to all!

    Cheri - What a great project to be involved in. Beautiful!

    Pip Hope the inspection goes well. It's always bit nerve-wracking. :o

    Machka - Many CONGRATULATIONS! :drinker:

    Ginny - Big hugs. <3 Last week , when I was low, I managed to offload on a couple of good friends. It helped so much. Do you have a 'listening ear'? <3

    Lots of love to all and welcome to the new people. :)

    Exercise over the past 90 days ... hoping to be a bit more consistent once I can breathe better and once I finish uni. :)

    Thanks for the heads up on the C2C crochet, Cheri - That looks like something I could definitely work with. I know a few stitches, but the complex patterns make me a little nutso. :) Now, where did I put that graph paper? Your Project Linus afghans look wonderful...

    Ginny - tough memories, much support and many hugs coming your way. I try so hard not to remember the anniversaries of pain, and celebrate the good memories, but they sneak in on you anyway.

    Yesterday, we got the upright freezer that I ordered May 1, and got everything shifted over. Simply impossible to tell what's there in a small chest freezer stuffed to the top. And by the time I get to the bottom, I nearly fall in, so even worse. :p

    Did find a few vegetables (green beans and carrots) from last year this time, right down at the bottom of the chest freezer, and chicken soup base, so will see if I can get a vegetable soup made and canned this afternoon, or at least made and cooled down.

    FAR too hot to even think of soup for dinner, so will have to store it/freeze it, but at the moment I'm just procrastinating getting in there to do my exercise. Then I have to water everything, as it's a dry hot week/weekend ahead.

    Forgot! Non-scale victory... Had to order bras yesterday, as all my medium ones are getting too large, not supportive enough. Not exactly overendowed at this weight, and happy for it.

    Love y'all,

    Katla: I made the decision at the beginning of lockdown in March that I was going to continue my usual workouts using YouTube etc. It’s been quite good as I mostly worked out at home anyway.

    I haven’t really missed my usual busy volunteer schedule as a I have kept up with my groups by email. I have enjoyed the extra time to write/paint/craft/garden and spend quality time with hubby. It has made me re-evaluate my present volunteer commitments.

    I am missing face to face contact with my family, although we do see DYD at least once a week, albeit at a distance. And DSiL and BiL have visited us twice.

    As many/most of you know, I'm in Tasmania and it's winter here.

    So while you're enjoying heat, we're getting overnight temps about 0C and daytime temps about 10C. Frosty.

    Feeling quite chilly this evening and I've even put the heater on in the back of the house!

    I'm debating if I want a heavy dressing gown for my night in the hospital, or if I'll go with a light one as originally planned. Or if I'll care. I may be well asleep under several heated blankets.

    Karen - what a lovely way to touch the infinite loop of existence, even if only for an instant. I did not know you'd lost a child, many hugs coming your way.
