Did Denise Austin’s Fit in a Flash DVD. Not going to do any formal exercise tomorrow since I work and then go bowling, but I’m sure I’ll get some steps in.
Debbie CA – lovely tree! You are so talented
Michele NC
Thank you- it has been fun to work on- I wish the picture turned out better. It actually looks even better in real life. The lights are fairy lights that are battery operated that I hot glued on with gold glitter hot glue.

I’ve been on a baking kick since my friend got me into watching the Halloween baking challenges! Lol. My experiments lately are finding a good Keto Cream puff recipe. First one I made tasted great but fell apart when picking them up. Today I am making it the traditional way except substituted 1for1 gluten free flour (not keto), swerve for sugar and heavy cream instead of milk. The filling is not a problem. That’s my specialty! Lol
I tried a keto pumpkin bread recipe that came out awesome and a basic sugar cookie also Keto which came out good too.
Campers are required to all leave today by 5 pm then gates locked again for 2 weeks. Going to do a good cleanup there tomorrow.
Did I tell you all that DH and I had eye exams Friday. Now to wait 2 weeks for new glasses.

Hi, Rita! I've wondered about full-time RVers. Where do they stay in such a time?
Pumpkin bread sounds yummy!

I work at a state park so never had to leave! Some stay at private parks, others travel around to BLM (Bureau of Land Management) camping areas.

Busy days here yesterday and today. I have read through and caught up but didn’t take notes to comment.
I returned from our daughters around 2 and since it was only -2C I decided to put out some Christmas lights and decorations. I need to buy a wreath or big bow and then I’ll be good on the outside. The inside will be done on Dec 5th.
Kaitlyn is going to meet a friend next week and if her husband can’t have two of his shifts given away we will be puppy sitting Ember for the weekend. I’m excited and nervous about it all at the same time. We’ll find out in a couple days if we are going to have her or not.
I am going to work on finishing the stocking tonight and then tomorrow it’s back to work.

Allie: I’m happy to hear that one of your friends thinks you’re sounding better. Following doctor’s orders is wise. We are lucky enough to have an excellent doctor and we respect her skill. Long ago my dad took furosemide and it helped reduce water retention. Dad followed doctor’s orders carefully.
Michele: I don’t plan to do any yoga DVD’s, but I do have an alternate exercise plan. I have a stationary tryke in the garage that is set up on friction rollers. Yoga class is not in session because the governor closed health clubs. I can ride my tryke any time, in any weather and burn calories. I miss my class, though. I’ve got friends there that I enjoy spending time with.
Lanette: I love your colorful meals. They are VERY appealing.
Flea: We live up the road from a privately owned marina. They have loads of boat slips and some of them are occupied by liveaboards who are there year-around. The marina also owned land on the other side of the road and turned it into RV spaces. The vast majority of people there live in their RV’s year around. As a neighbor who walks that way, I see an RV vacancy once in a while, but not often. :flowerforyou: There are state and county parks nearby with RV parking spaces. County parks have camp hosts similar to Rita & her DH. Some of the state parks we stayed in also have camp hosts. :flowerforyou:
Tracey: I hope your puppysitting adventure is a fun one.

Been rather busy in the garden. Will skim read.
Fae: That video was before my time, and shot in England, whereas I live in Northern Ireland.
Heather: I have the same problem with wool. I break out in a rash if I wear it next to my skin.
I get up, exercise, and do chores before showering, getting dressed, and having breakfast. I wear leggings or jersey trousers, and a tshirt or cotton top. We eat lunch and dinner at the table. Breakfast is al fresco.

Katla: No tp shortages, but couldn't get my favourite for about 3 weeks. We bought another brand but it was c**p.2

I want to be able to get my stamina back..4 -
Sending hugs to all. Life is good here and we are grateful for this excellent day. Barbie 2

There is an old blessing/curse, “May you live in interesting times.” I choose to count my blessings. My family is #1. Friends here and near are #1, too.
Katla3 -
Karla: I wish we lived in less interesting times. I also count my blessings, and they are many.
The Covid situation here is volatile, although nothing will change for us personally, as we have continued to mostly stay apart from people, and wear our masks when unable to do so.
(((Hugs))) to all, especially those facing health or personal difficulties. 💕💖💕3 -
Heavy wind and rain here tonight. My dog Teddy boo is being extra snuggly.1

Good evening all:
Allie-glad you feel somewhat better. I agree with Flea-weight loss is possible without exercise. Talk with the doctor about what would be best exercise for you.
Sheri in OH-I'm to the west of you (and a bit north) in Clark County. It seemed like, early on, it took us forever to get any Covid cases-now we are making up for lost time.
Julie-your teaching load sounds really heavy. Glad you are able to get out and walk.
Got Christmas presents for grandkids in Arizona ordered today. Went ahead and shipped them to their house, included Christmas bags and tissue paper. While the stuff will be there early, I figure there may be more shipping this year than normal. I will ship son and DIL stuff to them from my house so they are wrapped. Am thinking about getting them a joint gift of Instapot duo 11-it does air frying and a bunch of other stuff. DIL is quite a good cook, but with granddaughter doing virtual school (she is in 2nd grade) and my grandson being three-an easier option would be helpful. I probably spoil all of them too much, but since there won't be a large inheritance to leave, I rather spend it on them now and see them enjoy things. Ordering the adult gifts over the next couple of days.
Got a few odds and ends done around the house today but moved slow. Trying to not overdo so maybe things settle down a bit.
Was notified today another staff member is positive for Covid. She spent time with a friend she thought was following protocols, etc., but friend ended up positive. I think some people are, obviously, engaging in risker behavior, but it is so rampant now it will be hard to avoid. I'm just mainly staying in right now and when I do have to go out, being as careful as I can. My ladies group at church has decided to go virtual with our weekly meetings. I set up a zoom meeting for us. It does give us a good connection getting together.
Heading off to bed and watch something mindless on tv for a bit.
Stay safe all,

Had my blood drawn on Friday morning. It was one of those fasting ones so I took a muffin in the car. I have my routine appointment with the md this Tuesday. I like to have the blood work for him to see it. Had my mammogram a while ago and for the first time I got one of the 3D ones. Medicare will pay for it, but my private insurance wouldn’t. Go figure!
LJ – welcome!
Vince is working on decorating the trees right now. I just finished some work on the puzzle. I try to do only an hour or so at a time. After that, it gets to the point where you are doing the same thing over and over. Plus you start to get bleary eyed.
Katla – you know, the last time there was a total lockdown, I really felt that one of the first things to be opened should be gyms. Even if formal classes weren’t happening, I felt that gyms should be opened. The last time there was a lockdown, there was rioting and looting etc. I think some of that was that people had emotions that they needed to release. If gyms were open, they might have been able to work off some of their anxiety
Off to beddy bye

All this talk about leggings, I now want to try them! I have never had them before. Not that I want to show off my bumps, but with a tunic or long sweater, I can see that being rather comfy.
I change clothes multiple times per day. I get out of my PJs as soon as I'm out of bed. I don't want to get them dirty and cooking in them makes them smell like food. Then I can't sleep because I smell food all night. I usually put on lounge wear. A couple hours later, I put on workout clothes. I shower, then back into lounge clothes, then eventually PJs. If I/we go out, I'll put on "real" clothes in there somewhere.
The new car buying stress has begun. Why does this process have to be so unpleasant? Why can't they just give me the best price when I ask, I'll write them a check or not and be on my merry way?
Allie, Beth, Lisa, others having a rough time...hope things start looking up soon.
Tina in CA2 -
All caught up. I've enjoyed the leggings debate. I have a whole drawer full, because I was quite addicted to the wild ones with solid color tunics for awhile, but I've grown tired of them. I still wear them around the house but not out in public. I more often wear workout leggings instead because I like the way the compression makes you look smaller. I still like a top that covers the bum with those. Since working on upping my wardrobe game, I've been wearing jeans and shorter tops when I go out, which is usually just to the grocery store, but whatever.....4

Michele: I think that health club facilities are important and valuable. Our governor mandated that things be shut down because there were significantly higher numbers of people getting CoVid 19. I think the Governor is doing the best she can in a tough situation and I respect her decisions. That said, I can hardly wait to get back to the health club and my yoga class. :flowerforyou:
Dr. Katie: I like a top that covers my bum when I’m wearing my yoga pants. I want something that doesn’t fall downhill when I’m in a downward facing dog position.
When I’m wearing jeans with a sweater I like the sweater to be long enough to rest on my hips.
Oregon is back in lockdown. No dining in restaurants or congregating in large groups. Restaurants can take orders and bring your food to their door or to your car door. Our gym has been temporarily closed and my yoga class will have to wait until heath issues are not so worrisome. Malls and large clothing stores are located miles from where I live, so Amazon is my new clothing store. I got four pairs of new jeans from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. They’ll last a good while.
I have an open invitation to visit Arrow and go for a ride. I'm lucky to have a very generous friend.

Julie good to see you post!
Kate stunning pic.
Lisa thanks for those Comedy Wildlife Photos especially the giraffe and the brown bear hiding. Big smiles! Whack-a-mole describes it perfectly. Hope that mole stays whacked soon as the meds kick in.
Welcome @kmccrom ! Would you let us know what you’d like us to call you and your general locale?
Sheri I love hearing about your husband. Mine is a take-the-spider-outside-er too, but don’t imagine he’d ever stay up all night with a baby kid.
Annie it’s hard to be the grownup :{
Katla sorry for your yoga class, you must have been so disappointed to lose it again so soon. Like top “…that doesn’t fall downhill when I’m in a downward facing dog…” :laugh: Yeah. You only wear those once. Say Hi to Arrow for us.
Heather, changing answers on the e-consult form? Hope both your and your DH’s DR has reassuring news and good plan.
the pic in pic of you and Johnny in the zoom screens, and Edie so serious at her cello.
Rebecca you reminded me of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMVU1Ec05Yc especially the “… and some folks even think it’s good to eat”
Welcome @ljfloyd1 L.J. !
Debbie all that talk of Christmas baking brought back good memories too of baking almond crescents and holiday nut balls with Mama.
Yet another day wimping out on taking the dogs down the drive. Looking forward to taking Shadow on a stroll tomorrow with friend. Tumble will be content to have Joe all to herself.
