    Machka: Rain will be welcome here- We’ve been dry for a long time. I hope for moderate rain, though. Flooding would not be welcome just now. 😳

    8: notice what you do well today, no matter how small: laundry, I separate laundry well, and wash dishes, and feed the dogs ;} oh and paperwork, I’m GOOD at typing and paperwork :lol:
    9: avoid the “I shoulds”: hard to do when I so overindulged
    10: grant yourself the permission to say “no” to others: fluffed this one. Instead gave the gift of listening to a fellow board member for an hour. Glad I did, hopeful some fences mended.
    11: aim to be good enough, not perfect: good advice for today, nudge CI<CO back in the right direction.

    Fine particles of ash doing their danse macabre in the orange light. Angry sky turning our paradise into Hades. Plague of gnats. Hazardous air quality. TV meteorologist commenting on the Coast’s webcam view, called it “apocalyptic.”

    Surgeon’s facility is under a level 3 “go now” evacuation order as are towns (Gasquet CA and O’Brien OR) along our route. Highway 199 closed. Joe’s follow up appointment shifted to his original eye doctor’s facility in Crescent City for pressure check, but as Dr. E is out of town, Surgeon will be teleconferencing with an associate new to us. You don’t want to hear about the back and forth telephone calls. Really. The good news is that the 500 mg extended release pills prescribed for last Friday have come in. Oh and Surgeon’s facility has been reduced to level 2 “Be set (to go).” The really good news is that his pressure is down to 23 from 56 two weeks ago. Thankful!

    Some relief, Thursday was 30 degrees cooler than Wednesday, but still smoky and ashy. As we have no A/C, our air filter is a damp washcloth. ;)

    Lanette, better the ghost pirate ship than “earthquake weather” ;)
    Welcome @RedSheSaid Red in IL! I make YouTube playlists too, unfortunately I spend more time making them than actually dancing to them :astonished:
    Kay, “Holy kitten” is right. Joe’s surgeon thinks the micro stent didn’t work due to scar tissue from 3 previous laser treatments. So far he’s been able to manage the pressure pain with Advil, and some days aspirin. The smoky, ashy air is not helping. He’s spending most of the day on the couch, with his face covered by a damp washcloth. 13K steps after surgery! Tell your DH “Well Done” from us!
    Beth likewise I’ve taken for granted all Joe does for us, especially the heavy lifting. Now that he’s forbidden to lift more than 5 lbs, what an eye opener! Praying for your friend. Later edit “…gave her hell…. not dying today.” Brava for giving her that blast on your angel trumpet. Bravissima!
    Barbie “…beloved possession” :laugh: :blush::laugh:
    Rita that is one lucky cat, to survive snake bite and to have you to care for it. Spray showering the cat 3 times/day? You are truly an angel! If anyone can make salt cedar look good, it’s you!
    Lisa what you said about expectations. If I want to spare myself the poison of angry frustration, it helps me to shift my expectations away from others. ;) Joe is able to manage his pressure pain with aspirin or an occasional Advil. He’ll call me after today’s pressure check with the number, he is positively thinking that pressure will be down and he won’t have to go back to Medford for awhile. I’m smiling and saying “Wouldn’t that be great” while inside I’m preparing for an emergency trip to Medford Monday or Tuesday. Brava for tiptoeing towards improvement. Please don’t ignore or downplay your internal signals in trying to be less “self-absorbed”.
    Karen in VA “the hearse doesn’t stop at the bank”. Thud. Thanks!
    Katla your horse fostering friends are angels indeed. Some of the most heartbreaking pictures on the news are the barns and stables burnt-to-the-ground. :cry:
    SuziQ what you said about 5 days of work in a 4 days. Takes some of the joy out of 3 day weekends.
    Allie “Jean… left Faith alone” from 3:30 am til when you got there at 7:30? :noway: I’m sorry allie, but that sounds like elder abuse to me. Does Faith have any other blood relatives besides Jean who could advocate for her?
    Rebecca, I think your eyes are more beautiful than Myrna’s, but maybe it’s the “come hither look” you were wishing for?
    Yvonne “…blame my lost motivation on the Large Hadron Collector…” :lol: me too!
    Evelyn, Terri and Faye likewise I could not connect to the community page from my laptop, using Waterfox, Firefox or even [shudder] Microsoft Edge, so read from my phone. Had to wait til my Windows 10 laptop could connect to post this ;)
    Machka ONE assignment to go? You’ve worked so hard. May you thoroughly enjoy your success and following respite. Bravissima!
    Heather Lovely floor! Thanks for sharing your DDIL’s wisdom.
    Barbie I’m sitting here alone in the house laughing out loud til the tears squeeze out. “…pick it up…” indeed!
    Debbie I’m really laughing at the phone or video appointment options. :lol:
    Ginny saying a prayer for your SIL and her dog.
    Michele so happy to hear your starter started! Hoorayy!!!
    Faye, like you, we’re choking on smoke but somewhat safe from the fires. And at last able to post to community thread from my laptop. Halelujah!

    Just had a surprise FaceTime call from dear friends in Boise. Really lifted my spirits. That and the "check-ins" from friends and cousins via FB and email. Thank Goodness for technology.

    Our AQI is a dangerous 451, “Any exposure to the air, even for a few minutes, can lead to serious health effects on everybody. Avoid outdoor activities. “ No wonder the dogs are unenthusiastic about going outside, my throat is scratchy and my head pounding. Retreating with aspirin and damp washcloth to bed.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    @exermom Michèle, it sounds like one person in a couple doing things as quickly as the other would like is pretty par for the course, but that doesn't make it much more comfortable. yay that he's finally doing it. awesome!!

    @snowflake, “you just had 2.00 last week, what happened to it”? yeah back in the old days the guys really had the reins in most cases. I found quitting smoking hard. it took me about 5 years of countless tries and 1 week, (one time 1 year) of quitting and starting. between ages 15 and 20! I started smoking at 12: boredom, coolness, older siblings, suburban/rural idleness, not much to do in the afternoons after jr high school...about 10 cigarettes a day. the big difference is one can really STOP smoking and never smoke. one can't stop eating. I have not smoked for 30+ years, but a few years ago when vapes came out I took one puff of a friend's pineapple vape and, since it has nicotine, for a few days I was wanting a smoke, whereas I had/have found it totally repulsive for many years.

    I think it's possible to get vape with just vapour, so non-toxic, but I'm afraid the gesture would lure me back in and after having quit for a year between 15 and 16 and taking another 4 years to quit again after just one smoke, I'm not taking the risk. A ton of people in France smoke just occasionally, like three cigarettes a week, only with friends. I think that would be ok but I very much doubt I can do that.

    Me and a lot of my friends are pretty handy. I owned a very old stone farmhouse fixer-upper for 5 years so I'm very well stocked in tools. an ex once observed I was very happy doing handiwork.

    Teleportaion would be great. I like long haul flights less and less (tiring and time-consuming) and I have family and loved ones so far away!

    Menopause and pre-menopause I had a relatively easy transition. My period in my 20s and 30s at least was long and heavy at the beginning, and could last 8 days! Very regular from early 30s to early 40s. Then it became 5 days but still heavy and often with cramps. In 40s it became lighter and the periods grew closer together (21-26 days) little by little. I didn't mind the lightening. Stopped pretty much all at once at about 53. Very little light hot flashes, to the point I wasn't sure if I had them. no profuse sweating just a bit of temperature variation probably about 10 noticeable times max. The worst is that about 2 years after stopping period weight started to increase and be much harder to lose. partly because I can't jog any more and at times I was advised not to walk to much (foot and knee issues). Jogging was great for stabilising or losing weight!. Just run out the door and a bit later 200-300 calories down. I don't miss the cramps! I don't miss worrying bout having feminine protection.

    My sister lives in the country, with massive veggie garden etc, but she had horrible hot flashes for quite a while, and she had her period heavily for like a month! Much more dramatic and difficult than for me and her lifestyle is overall healthier I think though she was quite overweight.

    My hair has more body. a hairdresser told me some people get curlier hair with menopause/age and others get straighter hair. I used to have super straight hair and now it's got more wave. That's a plus. much easier to get and keep a good cut.

    @TerriRichardson112 I did the life expectancy test. in looking at yours it seems losing weight really adds on years to life. that makes me concerned about my lovely older sister 8 years older and considerably overweight.
    here's mine. It looks like weight and exercise are two big defining factors! When I was in early 40s my life expectancy was 84 years and 4 months. The longer we live the more our average life expectancy goes up.
    Results

    Your predicted future healthy years is 29.4 Years
    Your Relative Healthy Life Expectancy is about 8.9% above Average
    Your predicted future unhealthy years is 5.9 Years
    Your predicted future total years of living is 35.3 Years i.e. Your predicted age at death is 57 + 35.3 (Current Age + Life Expectancy) = 92.3 Years
    Your predicted future unhealthy years, if disabled by a cognitive disease, is 9.4 Years
    How does my lifestyle affect my Healthy Life Expectancy?

    By exercising more you can increase your healthy life expectancy by 5.82% which is about 20.5 months
    At the moment your BMI is looking good, but make sure you keep an eye on it
    By sleeping more each night you can increase your healthy life expectancy by 5.82% which is about 20.5 months
    Your alcohol consumption has little effect on your healthy life expectancy
    Not smoking has a positive impact on your healthy life expectancy

    @Katla49 I would definitely check out a new dentist if you suspect yours of having done unnecessary procedures. I'm so sorry for the air quality there.

    @ydaily your Morton's syndrome just disappeared on it's own with Birkenstocks! ? I didn't know it could get better.
    ha ha for the hadron collider!

    @cityjaneLondon Heather awesome for a decorator who is very good and cheap. a find! is removing the cabinets less expensive than the extra price for the special sized fridge ? here we have various heights, for small apartments. I'm surprised there are no reasonably priced slightly shorted ones. mine has to be a bit smaller than usual too due to shelving. the choices were slim but I found one and it's just great, (not particularly expensive, mundane, right size, works fine) relatively speaking. Lovely floor! really? no dust? that is amazing!!! it was a big mess here when I sanded. yikes!

    @ Debbie you can get a Pap smear by phone. that would be less painful!

    @Faye, Debbie, Barbara, Flea and others concerned, I'm so sorry for the smoke and air quality.

    @Flea teaching is already rough with hybrid approach.

    not in greatest of spirits. surviving. Today: coffee, walk, library, tidy a bit.
    yesterday was a pretty good day. a rare day of face to face work.
    8% of students in France have covid (mostly asymptomatic). surely more in Paris. one school already closed due to 23 students positive in a population of 1300. (which is only 1.7%!) at that rate all schools will close down within days.
    some people prefer distance teaching rather than teaching in presence with mask and 1-2 meters distance.

    Greetings to all.

    We currently have a tropical depression moving over us. A lot of rain and a little wind. Nothing to be concerned about. I wish I could send this rain to the west coast of the US.

    Rebecca – The black and white photo of Athena is a keeper. I would have that one on a wall.

    Katla – Your friends are very generous providing shelter and fostering the horses. My “neighbors” love to visit after the lawns are cut because it’s easier pickings for them. As soon as the lawn people pack up and leave they come by. It’s very interesting how nature adapts to us.

    Vicki/Michelle – Costco will also convert VHS tapes on to a DVD or memory stick.

    Annie – Glad to hear you were able to get a ride in.

    Beth – Such wonderful news about your friend!

    Pip – Love the picture of Kirby and Yogi. Such smiles!

    Terri – A one-spot for all craft room/area is a great idea. You’re so fortunate to have a carpenter in the house! 😊 Cannot wait to see the results.

    Tracey – I was chuckling over your friend’s question of the camper being bear proof. I know of nothing, short of a war type vehicle, that is bear proof.

    Michelle – It seems you have not yet found a way to work with Vince’s OCD. It helped with Charlie and me that we both had a “touch” of it. The only thing I can think of is having a weekly family meeting where exact plans are sketched out along with a list of things needing to get done. It seems Vince feels more comfortable when things are planned out step-by-step so saying a picture has to go up is not really a comfort spot for him and a plan may be easier for him. I am thrilled not to have any major health issues. It’s a true blessing, worth more than money.

    Lisa – Sorry the VA is on its own schedule. It seems like nothing has been “fixed” after all of the VA issues came to light a few years ago. But, once again, we humans love fixing symptoms and not the cause. Sending positive thoughts your FODMAP is a success and you are able to pinpoint some triggers.

    Debbie – Wow, that picture is something. These fires are so destructive.

    Barbara – So happy to hear about Joe’s decrease in eye pressure!

    Flea – Oh, my goodness. Sorry you’re stressed. I cannot imagine those types of fires.

    Carol – I love your hair in your old profile pic. 😊

    I am planning a somewhat lazy day today. I will get some exercise in. We are under flood watch until tomorrow so no outdoor plans today.

    Hugs to all and prayers for those in need.

    Per day?

    I have my first on the bus in the morning.
    Then about 1 per hour during the day at work.
    Then a couple on the bus on the way home from work.
    Then about 1 per half hour in the evenings until I go to bed.

    I have a fan beside my desk at work and a fan beside my desk at home.

    For the bus, I used to wear a fairly heavy jacket to and from work, now I don't. I bring a light rain jacket in my backpack but even if it is <10C, I'll be standing by the side of the road waiting for the bus in a lightweight long-sleeved top and maybe a very light cardigan because I know that when I get on the bus I'll feel about 150 degrees.

    It's tiring.

    Air Quality This Morning Columbia River Gorge and Basin
    Hood River, Oregon 665
    The Dalles, Oregon 424
    Hermiston, Oregon 445
    Kennewick, Washington 824

    No doors or windows opened this morning. AC fan still turning. Slept well after dissolving a slippery elm to combat smoke raw throat. Patio Tai Chi canceled and indoor workout modified to post-procedure "surgery" guidelines since one polypectomy was performed. No walk today. Up and down the hall with the Faye Sashay until I am sick of it. A few kitchen counter pushups to strengthen chest muscles and postpone further outrageous demands that gravity has in store for my paltry boobs.

    Barbara Be careful! Our AQI was up to 555 last evening. My friends in Kennewick, Wa. are really struggling. 824 is highly toxic. If only we can get a west wind. Glad Joe's pressures are down some. The wet washrag really helps. When my pressures were up I would use an ice pack briefly, then go to a heat pack on the side by the bad eye. I also held a wet rag over my face last evening for a spell. It helped eyes, nose, and throat.

    Flea Noticing that the valley AQI is down with a few real high pockets. Silverton had a much higher AQO than Salem. I was seeing the ariel views of the burnt towns. It is just heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing the photos. So far two of many fires appear to be either arson or extreme recklessness, but no connection to any political movement. Down power lines seem to be a major cause recently. It is no doubt the winds that have made the fires so dangerous and certainly the reason the Columbia gorge on down to the basin is full of smoke with the worst stagnation in Tri-Cities, Wa. I think everything is going to be really messed up for Oregon for a time.

    AIR QUALITY Here is a great map of the west USA air quality. I started it in Portland, Or. You can minus it to see all of the west and then chose the area of interest and then enlarge. Notice one location in Northern Calif a high of 999! The map is updated every few minutes.

    :) Air quality around 200, husband doing chores, no medical issues, lots of books and yarn and computer to keep us occupied indoors along with dancing for me and cooking in the Ninja Foodie for Jake. Life is good here.

    Hugs for the smoke sufferers. <3

    My son came over this morning while I was still in my exercise top and pyjama bottoms. It was much harder getting the stuff back downstairs than getting it up. :o I was afraid he would fall!
    All went well and I showed him the cupboards I want removed to make way for a new frost free fridge/freezer. After long examination and discussion, we found a way to unscrew them, so he will do that after we have ordered a new one. I'm going for a 70/30 black one I think.
    DH feels he ought to be doing it himself, but i don't want him balancing on a stepladder and holding up a heavy weight.
    I then spent a long time putting felt pads on all the legs. :D My new felt castor cups arrived, but the pouffe is so unstable we ended up removing the feet completely. Looks a bit odd, but it will do for now. I haven't put the rug back as it looks much better in our bedroom. I will look out for a new one in the new paint colours. For now we can just admire our floorboards. :D
    I am exhausted from multiple trips up and down stairs fetching all the ornaments. Will count that as my bonus exercise.
    Most of it is back, though I have edited it a bit.
    DH took it on himself to put back the TV and recorder, but couldn't understand why it wasn't working. I was a bit annoyed, because I would have taken a photo of the back before I dismantled it all. I then pointed out that the recorder also needs an aerial and , guess what, it then worked! I did not crow, but I wanted to. >:)
    I bought us some lovely flowers to celebrate our new floors. :)

    I took another 3-day weekend this weekend. It would be nice if they were all 3-day weekends, but I'll be working full 5-day weeks for the next 3 weeks.

    The reason I took an extra day off this weekend is because my second assignment in my course was due at midnight on Friday. I find it less stressful to take the Friday off and work on it all day. As it happened, we were pretty much finished on Thursday, so Friday was just touching up. We submitted about 8 pm and I tidied this and that for the rest of the evening.

    I did very well on the first assignment and our course tutor has indicated that we are most definitely on the right track with this second assignment too. That's encouraging. I want to finish this course this semester and be DONE!


    Today, Saturday, I've been working on my cycling club stuff but we took a break and went to our son's field hockey game so that was nice.

    Prayers to All who are in the land of smoke! :'( I can't even begin to imagine what that is like.

    Heather ~ You are very lucky to have your son so willing to take time to help you. Your floors look great! What is a 70/30 refrigerator?

    Alison ~ Since Jean quit her job, do you think she will hire full time help for Faith. I hope you don't let her manipulate you into doing it.

    Ordered a 4" mattress topper from Amazon and after reading all the reviews decided to return it. Found out today that I could return items to Kohls department store. Quite easy except it was very bulky and DH had to use a dolly to get it into the store.

    [mod hat]Hey, beautiful ladies! Just a gentle reminder that MFP has a policy of keeping divisive topics out of the community if possible. This includes political discussions. Our guidelines can be found here if you'd like to read them: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/community-guidelines [/mod hat]

    Also - this thread is so warm and friendly! How have I never read through it before? I'm a [tiny] little bit behind you ladies, so I'm probably going to quietly stalk the thread now to learn what's in store for me. :) Ever since I hit 40, my body seems to be trying to fall apart. @Poerava14 - I thought I had morton's neuroma last year. After an ultrasound, a cat scan and an MRI it turns out I have bursitis in the same spot on my foot causing issues running/walking/riding a bike/driving a manual... And most people don't even have a bursa there. According to my ortho, I must have injured my foot and kept running on it, causing development of a bursa? Anyway, weird. I hope your foot heals quickly and well. Sending hugs.

    To those of you in fire zones and tropical depression/storm/flood zones, please stay safe!

    Our current air quality is 303. This is BAD air quality. We’re staying inside except to let the dog go potty. The forecast for this evening may go up 25 points unless the wind changes. I can see the sun & it has a smokey appearance. I would call it smoggy.

    The temptation is to ask what specifically triggered your gentle reminder, but thank you for it. We do try very hard to keep politics and religion off this thread, and hopefully, any slips were inadvertent. This place is a welcome break for us.

    Rori -
    So glad to see your post, and so pleased you're getting some of the help you need! Even just a few moments to just be Rori must be restorative.

    Heather -
    Your floors look absolutely beautiful, I know you're very pleased with them. Glad your son can assist with the cabinet removal, and that you'll be able to get the refrigerator you want.

    To All Impacted by the fires: Stay safe, my friends...

    Later, y'all,

    I agree Lisa. We are usually so careful to keep politics and religion out of this thread. I don't recall seeing anything recently that made me think that they were walking a line.

    Good thoughts for safety for all in the line of smoke and fires.
