Terri-loved reading you say “Be good, and if you can’t be good, be careful.” We used to say that all the time in college. It brought a smile to my face.
Machka- I typically dress in a fairly tailored manner for work. Been wearing jeans and shorts at home. Had to go into office Monday and wore one of my more casual summer dresses. Realized I missed some of my work clothes!
Margaret-so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine the pain. Prayers.
No real news here. Have had rain last two days. Grass is coming back to life. Taking some time off tomorrow afternoon to work with trainer.
Granddaughter turned 7 today. Hope to talk with her soon. I enjoy seeing pictures of your grandchildren. My son and daughter-in-law are a bit private about pictures on internet, so that’s why I don’t post of them. I may break their rule one day.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

Machka ditto Teri, about your return to work. Please don’t wait a month of headaches to consult your MD. Will she recommend the full six weeks of paid recuperation time? Hooray for the right side breathing! Canadian social distancing made me choke on my water! Whipping out your tissue to establish your personal space
Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie
No, they've given me 2 weeks paid recuperation time and that's all.
But today is Friday so I'll have the next two days off and will get some extra sleep.
I'm also hoping to get outside for a bicycle ride. It's midwinter but tomorrow is supposed to get to 17C so we're thinking that a short, slow, flat bicycle ride might be just the thing. My fitness level has dropped right off in the past month with my husband's surgery and then mine. That might be contributing to the tiredness and headaches.
In addition to whipping out a tissue in the middle of a shop, I've also found that a sudden coughing fit works well to encourage people to socially distance! One of the "features" of my kind of surgery is that a sinus will suddenly let go and drop "goo" into my nose and throat causing my nose to run and me to cough. But it has been quite effective. One little coughing fit and no one comes near me!

Margaret, my heart is breaking for you. My prayer is that you can find some comfort in knowing he is now at peace. There are really no words that are adequate for this. I’m sorry.
Mary’s memorial service was yesterday. I think links are against the rules, but if you want to see the slideshow and you do FB, search for Antioch United Methodist Church. It’s the one in Nicholson, GA. Click on videos. It should be the most current one. The slides flip for a good long while before the service starts. You can see me reading scripture at about the 43 minute mark.
I’ve read to catch up, but am too tired to comment more.6 -
Big hugs guys.
Sorry for your loss
JRs head grew again so yes bobble head again. Had ambulance come out he ran fast y fell hard ouch, they felt we over reacted should just ice it y go on with life. The younger ones with the older senior driver looked like they will now never have kids. Luckily ice 🧊 brought his bruise down it swelled up but went down looked fine again. He runs like a ram 🐏 goat head down arms back full charge!! Bam 💥 no hands out if he trips y falls.

Been busy month. Maintaining them had too many M&Ms so getting those few pounds off .2 -
Yes apart of gigantism is large heads. Also a sign he will out grow his clothes again.0

Margaret I am so sorry! Hugs from Ohio. Please be good to yourself during this mourning time. 🙏❤0

Hugs for all tonight! Those suffering loss. Those with medical issues. I reckon Hugs for ALL is appropriate!
Yes, we have security cameras and license numbers, but amazingly both vehicles were "borrowed ". Borrowed my *kitten*! Today I chained down all the saws. If someone wants to look at one we have to unlock. Pain in the *kitten* but necessary to keep me safe since I keep chasing them down. Had to call the police today again on a bad check. Our losses this month are around $5000! What sucks is each incident is a felony, but they know the law so well that if they are caught, they will get a slap on the wrist and be back at it again. 🤬
Tomorrow is a new day! Looking forward to it.
❤

Michele- You are out and about a lot. I found a grocery delivery service yesterday with which I had a great experience. I ordered at 8:30am and had my items by 10:30am. The shopper sent me a text if they didn't have what I wanted so I could decide to ditch it or substitute it. I asked for non-ripened avocados and that is what I got! It was a very personalized experience. I never have to leave the house to go grocery shopping again! I used one last week that goes to the more "specialty" stores that I will use too, so I can even get my gourmet cheese delivered!
There is one store I do like peruse because they have new and interesting items all the time. Otherwise, grocery shopping is a mostly unpleasant chore for me.
Have a great day, All!
Tina in CA
I have been ordering my groceries online and having them delivered since my husband came home from the hospital 2 years ago.
It is really easy to place the order, and the more we order the smaller the delivery charge. I think it was $7 for this week's delivery.
I figure that is pretty good given that it saves me time and money to go to the store.
I place the order throughout the week. When I think of something we need I quickly log in and select it. Then on a certain day (it varies), I go online and complete the order. It asks me if I've forgotten anything and presents me with a selection of things I usually order but haven't that time. Then it shows me my order and I can put in notes about what I want to do for substitution. And I can choose a time block when I want it delivered.
I rarely go into a grocery store.
Since I returned to work this week, I've headed outside at lunch. On the first day I had to a little bit of shopping to set up my desk area again but the remaining three days, I've just gone for walks and tried to avoid people.
I got a 3 km walk in today.

I woke up early this morning thinking about the grandkids visit. Hope it's not too hot. Planning lots of drinks etc.
I couldn't get the type of sausages I wanted yesterday, so we've got superior free range bacon to put in the brioche rolls. I know they like that and they are not allowed it at home because the nitrates. Edie assures me they are allowed it at granny's house and when they eat out. Got cucumber and carrot sticks. Homemade lollies. Cottage cheese for Bea. And cinnamon and apple cake I made last fall!!! AF drinks for the adults.
I've washed my hair and done my toenails. My feet only see the light in a heatwave.

MARGARET so sorry for the loss of your son you fought long and hard

PIP I love that new style! I try to keep the back of my hair looking like your new cut, but I have too many natural waves. Really nice.

Finding Boots
When did the days of real leather boots disappear?
The days before faux was a commonly used word
The times when leather was the hide of a steer
I remember stingray from the Great Barrier Reef
Real leather howbeit exotic and expensive
unlike boots made from the hides of beef
Are these real lizard skin? Why yes Maam
China made best left unworn in the shade
In the sun the crocodile came right off of them
So with careful consideration, I chose suede called faux
Stretch fabric, side zipper, ankle-high, or up to the knee
And hells bells, etc., I don't have to wear socks

Good morning,
Looking for insight....I have a friend that has lost a lot of weight in only 4 months. Last night she said they (her and husband) are 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbs. Not calorie counting. Just macros. This just doesn't seem healthy to me and am concerned. I undertand that lots of bloodwork has come back better due to weight loss, but is this really a healthy lifestyle change? Not judging, just concerned. Insights appreciated.
❤
