Really delighted that I took my courage in both hands this morning and did quite a bit of work on my website. I feel exhausted now, because I'm in panic mode the whole time , but I made a lot of progress. I don't want it fancy, just explanatory and tidy. I need it so that people can email me without me having to give them my private address.
Lovely pics, Terri.

I have thrived during the pandemic by staying in the moment and I will continue to do that even as things "open up".

The Great Bra Save
Using the straps from one bra to make the other
with longer adjustable straps, seemed to render
the other useless. I rarely use the thin cup pads,
but when I do it is a hassle putting them in and
out. I got the bright idea to leave the pads in the
useless one and make it useful as a bandeau under
the strapped bralette. The result is a wonderful fit
and more compression that helps my posture. It
gives a nice look but yet natural-looking for my age.
The beauty is it is easy to take on and off leaving my
unpadded bra in place.

Lisa ~ Know how much you enjoyed your week with family! And, that you will enjoy the quiet and companionship with Egg once again. I dearly love my son's family but am always happy to get back to my usual routine.
Debby ~ What a lovely flower! We have had a lot of rain on Wednesday and just happy no tornadoes made their way through our area.
Machka and Debby and Terry ~ I enjoy the lovely photos of your part of the world.
I was thinking this morning about what brings me joy and peace and it always seems to be seeing the beauty of quiet water and majestic mountains.

I trimmed Teddy's feet. Now I have access to trim his nails again. I swear I could trim that dog three hours a week every week. He produces more hair than the amount of food he eats! It's magic! I found a little mat starting between his toes but I got it all out. Despite his wiggles. Always makes me feel guilty when I find mats. Some dogs are more prone to them than others.
My Dad wants to do an inventory of the freezers to help my mom stop buying stuff that won't fit in them. My mom doesn't want to admit there's a problem. She is quite capable of being irrational about it. I get caught in the middle. This is going to be a sore point for weeks. Oh well. Mom doesn't fall nor wander, so I guess it's not so bad. She is just odd about food shopping.

Tracey: I have been told that it is likely to take a couple of years for my head to feel better. DH took me directly to the emergency room. I was not actually aware of the emergency room visit. The estimated timeline to heal came from others who have been through it, not from my physician. I should probably make an appointment with her to talk about it.. :ohwell:
Machka: This is a bit redundant to what I’ve said before and I hope you don't mind. Here goes: Next I want to get back to real life, visit friends and have fun. Now I want the headache to go away from my fall early in the year. I look forward to the second dose of Phizer vaccine at the end of the month. After that I want to do the things I enjoy--go back to the gym and go out to the stable.
Allie: We look forward to the second vaccinations and I get a bit of satisfaction in knowing we’ve done what we can to stay healthy. Our first shots resulted in a low-grade headache for me, but nothing compared to my fall and head-bash in January. My head is still a little sore from that fall. I’ve been told to expect it will take a long time to fully heal. :ohwell:
Lisa: It sounds as though you had a great visit with family and are now able to enjoy a simple and familiar life at home.
Debbie in VA: Your amaryllis is beautiful! :flowerforyou:
Cclark: Welcome to a group of supportive women. Post often and get to know us.
Terri: Your flowers are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing them! :flowerforyou:
Cheri: Love your smiles and wave. I hope you are enjoying life.
Annie: Our dog is a Keeshond. He has LOADS of hair with an undercoat. We take him to a groomer twice a month to be combed out and toenails clipped. Her services are modest in price and give us a tidy dog. I am not a patient woman when it comes to combing and brushing the dog. Her services are a blessing for both the dog and me. He had cancer surgery last fall. Our groomer was the first to notice that something was not okay and her advice prompted us to go to the vet. All turned out very well. :bigsmile:
On the subject of freezers—we have two upright freezers in the garage and they are full. DH worked his way through college as a meat cutter and he loves to buy meat. When the pandemic began DH shopped for meat. Our refrigerator in the kitchen has a freezer on the bottom. I doubt we will starve in the foreseeable future. :noway:

I am looking forward to the second vaccination at the end of the month. When that is done I want to spend time at the stable with Arrow. I want to get back to yoga class, too.
Hi, Katla. I am so happy that you are on the path to being fully vaccinated.
I forget -- when you fell and hit your head, did you go to the doctor or have a CT scan? When my students have concussions, they are not allowed to read or write or attend class while their brain heals. I was wondering if your doctor prescribed any rest or cessation of activities after the injury.
Just worried about you.
ETA -- I see you responded to a similar question from Tracey. I definitely would schedule an appointment with your doc. You deserve clearer answers and directions.

It could be simple, like changing into your walking shoes or more complicated like going for a university degree. Your choice.
Be serious ... or have some fun with it.

What do you want to do next?
Machka in Oz
What I want to do next is---- Take a vacation. Since the pandemic started, we have all worked as much or in husband's case, a LOT more hours with no time off. We usually take one trip a year- I take one week off, he takes at least two weeks. I would really like to take a few months off or more.
Debbie
Before my husband's accident, we used to bunch up all our holiday time and take a month to travel somewhere (often Canada).
Since his accident, because we can't leave Tasmania, I've been taking a week here and a week there. It's nice, but it's just not the same. I've got 11 days off over Easter (3 days of stat holidays + 4 days of weekend + 4 annual leave days), but we're spending most of it at home. I just didn't feel like heading to the other side of the island and I've got things on that List of mine I want to do.
But yeah, one day, eventually, I would like to take an extended holiday again. I don't see it happening for a while.
Machka in Oz
I did have about 3 weeks off work in January- forgot about that, but that was NOT a vacation- in bed because of Covid. Don't even remember part of that.2 -
How have I changed as a result of the pandemic--I am more stay at home and avoid being around people.
Perspectives--I just have to realize that a lot of people just don't have the same ideas about how to act and what to do about this masking and hand washing.
What is important to me--My family and spending time with DH. We have found that we need to work on not letting the little things become big things, and we are doing a lot better.
Pip--Looks like you are all ready for some great times in the Meerkat. Looking forward to hearing all about it and lot of pictures.
With all the rain, the little ants have some into the kitchen early this year and I have diceded I am not dealing with it so called the Okin man and he is coming Monday to treat the whole house. This has been happening in the spring last several years and I hate it. So hoping this will take care of the problem. They will come Monday and then next month, after that every other month for a year and that should take care of it. But if not I just have to call and they come out for free.
Rebecca--we are still waiting for our stimulus check. Looking forward to putting at least half in savings and maybe get some work done on DH's pickup. We bought me a new recliner with tax refund. I am enjoying it, but I am so short I have to hop to get in the seat. DH just laughs. But the fur babies and I love it.
Allie--Sorry to hear about your friend. Lets see a picture of your new hairdue.
Machka--Your question "What do you want to do next?" Really something I want to think about and yet scared to think about.
Michelle--I used to call my parents every Sunday. Not at the same time, just the same day. When they were both gone I still find myself thinking about calling them on Sundays. If I called on other days they wanted to know if something was wrong or was I checking up on them.
I agree, I love when the family comes and the grandkids stay. but I am more then ready for them to leave and get back to my quiet.
So glad it is Friday and I have the weekend off.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND NE5 -

There is going to be a new Midsomer Murders starting on Sunday. Good Sunday evening entertainment.
We've seen all the old ones at least twice. I know a lot of you like watching them.
7 weeks since our first vaccinations. 5 weeks to go until the second. Bring it on! From March 29th we will be able to meet up in gardens, 4 adults from two households. It's not long after my DDIL'S birthday, so I hope they can come over, or we can go there.
I still have brownies in the freezer.
I hope I will get the chance to talk German with their Italian student, who collects the kids from school three days a week and gives them tea. She was an au pair in Germany for 6 months and is studying German at uni here. I have rarely uttered a sentence in German, apart from on the app. I'm struggling with all the cases.
NEXT, I hope to make a trip sometime to Germany. Last time we were there I tried to order a meal and got completely lost. I hope I might do better next time. I have been learning it on and off most of my life and I'm still at elementary level in speaking. My understanding is a bit better.

I have decided to use Duolingo to try to learn Spanish (it will be the one only language outside of English that I have ever attempted).
