    Penny: Sorry about your sad days count. I know that you love Svalbard. I hope you get to know people in your new community and find many pleasant friends. :heart:

    Vicki: Yoga was a delight. All of the people in the class are long time yoga friends and it was wonderful to see them after being locked down so long. The fitness center is requiring masks in all parts of the facilities. My locker was still there, as were all of the things I keep in it, such as my yoga mat. It felt quite a bit like coming home. :smiley:

    Peach: Your grandson is a handsome boy. I like the Class of 2028 t-shirt. It shows vision and a tangible goal. :star:

    Rebecca: You have the best sense of humor. I loved the truck loaded with Vick’s vapo-rub. No wonder there was not a problem with congestion. :wink: You often make me laugh. Thank you for it. :laugh:

    Barbara: Sorry that your nephew has to wait for upcoming surgery. I hope it all turns out well in the end and he has an easy recovery. :star:


    My headache is currently gone. YAY!!! I hope it says that way.

    Did the Peak 10 Cardio Interval Burn DVD then took a walk around the block. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Jari Love Bootcamp Workout DVD

    Debbie – about finances, that’s me. When Bonnie went to the Carolina Vet Specialist and was diagnosed with cancer, we had no idea what tests would be needed and how much it would cost, so Vince asked if we could use some of my landscape money if we needed to. I immediately said “no problem, of course we could”. As it turns out, we didn’t need it, but I was willing if we did. It just comes down to the fact that Vince feels that the landscaping is an unnecessary expense and I don’t. Here’s a picture of the bushes as they are now. For 13 years Vince has been saying that the bushes on the left would come back, and they haven’t. If they haven’t in 13 years, what would lead me to think that they ever will? I was told last year that we just need to trim the bushes. That hasn’t been done. So if it’s going to be me who needs to trim, I want something I can take care of.

    Barbara – prayers coming your way

    Penny – I’m so sorry you’re sad. You’ll learn the great things about the area you are moving to, it’ll just take time and before you know it, you won’t want to leave

    Katla – how wonderful that you’re going to yoga again! Next step...Arrow

    We go to the Green Room tonight to see “Always a Bridesmaid” Will need to leave in a bit to go get my shot of prolia

    Jess called. Her car needs inspection and she can’t leave Iowa. Steve told me that he knows how to drive a standard so I’m suspecting that he and Vince will go out there, get the car, and probably drive it back.

    I had a great day today. Yoga started the pleasant feeling and the rest of the day was also pleasant. The fitness center requires a mask and that was fine with me. The yoga class has been together for years before the pandemic & is still welcoming. Afterward I shopped for antihistamines and found what we need. None of this is high drama, all of it is connecting with longtime friends.

    Tracey – yes, we got individual stimulus checks. But we did have to pool the money for other things. At the time I was told that while we were using that money at the time for something else, eventually I would get the stimulus money into my account. I don’t have a problem waiting for it. I just felt that (and maybe I was wrong) I had to – in a sense – fight for it. Jess won’t be in Iowa so it doesn’t make sense for her to transfer her title there just for one year. Iowa can’t certify for North Carolina. For example, we don’t have an emissions. I don’t know if Iowa does or not. States vary in their requirements

    Michele - that makes sense. Canada is the same for inspections.

    Machka - I am in the Bayou in a haunted house.

    I did the same thing- I offered to help pay for the vet bill for the cat we took in, didn't need to help either.
    If something else comes up that is an emergency- no problem-
    I need to start setting aside extra now because he wants me to pay for the water bill- he is sure that because of my little garden, our water bill will be $800-900. I don't think it will be that high- He reminded me again yesterday that I need to really watch how much water I use in my garden. We also have a small lawn that we keep watered along with my plants(raspberries, roses, etc). What ever- I will watch how much I use/not let it run extra because we are in a drought but that is my one hobby compared to all the things he spends money on that I think is excessive. He is working almost 3 times what he was before they lifted restrictions so I am not saying anything.

    We HAD juniper bushes in our front yard- I hated them- they were full of bugs and the lawn anywhere near them died so I pruned them, with a CHAINSAW!!! Took them totally out. Husband is not the gardener/yard guy at all. He does mow the lawn but actually I enjoy doing that- to him it is a chore he complains about. Junipers are gone and I now have half wine barrels that have dwarf lemon or other things I actually like.

    Well i have been awake for an hour ugh..
    Just checked my income tax refund.I filed online and used Turbo tax and I was supposed to get 5202.00 back and I am only getting 3766.50 they shaved off almost 1400.00
    Now im not trying to be petty or anything,but when your expecting one thing and get another its very disappointing..plus Turbo tax charged me 186.00 for my troubles..

    Machka - I do 5k about twice a week, or a bit less often, but very slowly. I love just trotting/shuffling along, watching the world and listening to 'Soul Music' on the BBC. I have done a timed Parkrun in the old days, but I don't enjoy it. My son was encouraging me, but it takes all the pleasure out of it for me. I am always next to last, just in front of the disabled at the back and I hate having to push myself against the clock. I don't think I will resume when it starts up again, unless my son comes along . In my age group I was around the 50 percentile. Of course, only the very fit are still doing it at my age!!!!! I was 70 then, now 71.
    I just so love my normal gentle jog by the sea. :D<3 I'm a bit fussy with the weather though. Wind is not good and it can really blow on the seafront. I love the early morning best, with a blue sky and a gentle breeze. Heaven. B)

    Love Heather UK xxxxxx

    For some reason, I like running into the wind, but I'm not keen on cycling into the wind. Today was a bit breezy so that was all right for me for a run. :)

    When I was training for the half marathon, I was running at lunch 2-3 days a week plus a longer run on the weekends. I need to get back to that!

    It's a bit difficult when I can't reliably plan things. I put things on the calendar ... but never know if it is going to happen or not.
