Rori-prayers as you walk through this. All we can do is love them until the end. Glad you are taking care of yourself.
Beth-sorry you learned more details. That sort of thing keeps reopening the wound.
Pip-I hope there aren't any rules about daily posting of exercise! Seeing your stats makes me feel like a slug at times-but it is cool to follow.
Had lovely visit with niece and her daughter who is 16 and a very mature, polite young lady (she was always a cute kid!). Ended up going through some old photos of my mom and my side of family. Niece took pictures with phone of some of them and I gave her a couple most meaningful to her. After I get back, etc. straightened out I want to make a trip to Maryland to see them.
Went for walk this morning while it was cooler and then after niece left did another. All told a bit over an hour for the day. Has warmed up nicely today-in the 60's. Warmer temperatures coming.
Going to give oldest brother a call to see what is new with them. Niece told me he had an eye surgery recently and isn't doing well with it (not sure of the type of surgery-something with tear ducts possibly).
Take care all,

Beth - sending you part of my heart.
Rough afternoon/evening - it seems like I'm fine until 3 or 4 pm, and then the symptoms just crash over me like a wave... dizzy, nauseated, and all the rest. I've spent more time in the bathroom than anywhere else.
Time to go take my evening meds, and then curl up somewhere. The anti-spasmodic should be in Tuesday, fingers crossed, and that will help a lot with the pain.
Later,
Love,

Attended most of the conference
Attended several pilates sessions but missed a few because of husband's heart attack
Yes, we completed a 50 km bicycle ride ... on which my husband had a heart attack
Yes, I completed the 5 km run on May 23
I started a 9 day fortnight and love it!
I have designed another 50 km route
And the rest ... still working on them.
Oh, also, I joined a Mt Wellington stair climb challenge at work and I've got 14 flights to finish today to make it!

Rori - dementia of my kind absolutely sucks. I’m sorry you’re having to go through this.
Beth - you and your family needs a break. It’s hard to grieve when things keep getting thrown at you.
Lisa - I hope they find the right treatment for you soon.
Pip - I love your posts, makes me feel lazy at the same time it’s encouraging me. You and others that talk about your activities always encourages me.
I’ve lost 10lbs since March as of today. It’s been flirting with it for a couple of weeks now. I haven’t been able to really do any exercise so it’s all diet. Amazing what not having potato chips everyday and replacing it with some veggies have made a big difference. I’ve only gotten as low as 1200 calories a couple or three times though. It’s hovering around 1400 each day.
In saying all of that I decided to walk home from work this afternoon. I haven’t been able to walk really since our daughter’s wedding in July 2019. My hip is tender tonight but not real pain yet. My pace was very slow compared to where I used to be, I walked 2.12 kms in 32 Minutes, Average pace 14.38 mins/km, since it’s been almost 2 years and a very long recovery I’ll take it.
I think I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was getting my Great Grandmother’s/Mom and Dad’s table shipped to Alberta. I received it yesterday. It’s funny, I have been eating at this table before I could feed myself. In my mind I was picturing as it was all those years forgetting that it has been in a storage shed at my Brothers since July 2018, and from Dec 2017 in a vacant house. It took my daughter, granddaughter and I 6 hours to clean it yesterday and we forgot to take before pictures. The really glossy looking one is a vinegar bath after using steel wool, and three or four scrubs with vinegar and Oxy clean. We then scrubbed some more and used Murphy’s Oil soap and a few more rinses with vinegar. The final results will do until we’re sure of some really great weather for a few days.
I’ll post pictures in a second post.

Pictures of the table. Michaela worked right along side of her Mother and I for about 3 of our 6 hours. We had talked about the history and how old the table was. We found that it was built July 15 1850 by, I think, my Great Great Grandfather. We were all done and Lauryn says, “That’s how I remember it”. Michaela puts her hands in the air and says “you can’t, it’s new”.
I then told her a story of how when her Mommy was a tiny baby about a week or two old I was changing her diaper on the table and she pooped on me all the way up my arm. She thought that was hilarious.
Anyway here are the pics:

Purdy proud of my project. I have been looking for a big milk can, preferably with a lid. Finally found one with a lid for $20. I bought some ivory canned paint on sale 2 for $6. Used one can. It was all rusty but no holes in it. This is the after, didn’t take a before pic tho. Now kirby has a place to put his empty beer cans instead of leaving them in the sink. I have never done anything like this b4 but always wanted to. I was thinking I could always add a stencil design or something else later on if I want.

Pip - I’ve always wanted one of those to paint too. Great job it looks wonderful.1

A dear friend from teaching days stopped by today. It made my day. She has family here and I’m delighted that she had enough time to visit us, too. 😊3

Morning ladies
Slept pretty well,had to go to the restroom but was able to go back to sleep.
Its chilly here but the rain is finally leaving the area.right now its only 50 degrees.
Going to do laundry and do some picking up today..2 -
"Get to do"s and "chose well"sChose well: Sat: BP, bottle drop, Sun: BP, church, dogs to powerline
Bonus: Sat: Grocery Outlet, Sun: corn muffin gems for fellowship, chopped another tarp load of brush.
Get to do: take BP, dogs to powerline, USE those torture bands/do that BB&B video, board meeting minutes, Tues: call Sutter Health with Joe’s secondary info, follow up with Dr re: Joe’s annual charges not covered 100%, watch for refund from Interpath for Joe’s labs paid on Feb statement call S, fire district: ongoing: input 2019 call sheets into NFIRS, work with chief on equipment letter, substance abuse policy, NFIRS mutual aid and other missing details, call Credit union re: credit card, ask for boots donator contact info, appreciation letter or certificate to boots donator, index mutual aid files; watch STAS Day 20, declutter sideboard, practice new dances (Do Your Thing, Pure Movies to Wine, Beer, Whiskey, I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat), A Little Less Broken, One Margarita, I’m so used to being broke, All Night, Nothing but You, Blame it on my beating heart, Homesick); finish mulching flowerbed, invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant the last of the naked lady bulbs, and soon as it warms up above 50 and dries out below 60% humidity I’ll tape and spray paint those rusted areas of Aunt Elsie’s stove. Reconcile Joe’s EOB’s Thrivent shows only 2263.48 so far, next BGBS ask Terry about GB’s FD firetruck tax levy – contacts, media, advocate???, Reward: inventory seeds, plan this spring’s garden, wishlist replenishments (Milena F1 orange peppers).
Meaningful May:
29: Do something special and revisit it in your memory tonight: call D and schedule stroll/coffee/chat
30: Today do something to care for the natural world: reduce the fuel load this afternoon.
31: Find three reasons to be hopeful about the future:
Rori, words fail. (((hugs held extra long )))
Likewise (((hugs held extra long ))) to Beth.
Lisa likewise (very gentle hugs) and prayers for healing. No one who rides a mower, wields a chainsaw and digs up plants for sale at the farmers’ market is a little old lady. Just sayin’.
Pip you are an inspiration both with your workouts and your decorating.
Tracey con VERY gratulations on the pounds taken off and the first walk since 2019. Well done with your DD and DGD on that family heirloom. Was surprised to see it expands and has leaves. Your great great grandfather was quite a craftsman.
Welcome @christinecameron47 ! It will never get any easier that it is right now
Lighter, lovelies!

Evening all, new here, just wanting to introduce myself. I'm 54 and living near Devonport, Tasmania, Australia. I do Pilates, Ballet, Tap dancing and heaps of hiking but my main passion is telemark skiing.
Menopause and some nasty medication have seen me stack the weight on so I am on a journey to try and curb the gain and look after myself into my later years. (Gawd that makes me sound ancient lol). I have two feline fur babies who I love to bits despite them driving me nuts.
Cheers and Hi, Al from Tas.4 -
Did Yoga for Weight Loss DVD then went for a walk. Work tomorrow so no formal exercise
Ginny OH – have fun with your niece
Barbie – I don’t like to work for more than an hour or so. I remember a few years ago when I cut down all these weeds. It was during the middle of the summer. I’d work for only 2 hours at a time and then go in the pool. Vince thought I should do it all at one time, but by doing it my way, it got done.
Started to get packed to go to Denise’s Wednesday.
Barbara – “restroom”...lol How true, tho. Oh, true me, it WAS hard to throw those crusts away. What I probably should do is freeze those crusts and have a little at a time instead of a brownie.
Rori – (((REAL REAL BIG HUG))) I was very surprised to read that your husband was combative with Parkinson dementia. I was on a bowling league with a man who had Parkinson dementia and he was the sweetest person you’d ever want to know. I thought all people with Parkinson dementia were that way. Just a GLASS of red wine??? If I was going thru all you’re going thru, I’d probably wind up with the entire bottle or at least half of it. My heartfelt love is going out to you right now. Know that I’m in your pocket every day.
Heather – THAT’S a pool???? Looks more like a factory to me. If there was barbed wire on top of the fence, I’d swear it was a prison
Christine – welcome! Oh, the weight goes on so very fast at our age and comes off so very, very slowly. Frustrating...but at least it DOES come off…..in time
When I went for my walk this morning, it was pretty cool out. Usually I can do the loop around my neighborhood and our cul-de-sac and the entrance to the development in 35 minutes. I thought I’d get that time down since it was cooler, but I didn’t. That’s about 1-1/2 mile (a tiny bit less)
Allie – have fun at the shower
Michele NC1 -
Barbara - Thank you! I have made a hard right and removed myself from my pity party. Apparently, I need to wallow on occasion, but it's time I stopped. You remind me why - self-pity just isn't where I live. At least in the mornings, anyway. I've got to find something better to do with my evenings, obviously, and quit concentrating on my woes. My giant game of whack-a-mole with these symptoms will eventually be won, I just need patience.
Al from Tas - Welcome! Love it when our Aussies join - you are always a breath of fresh air.
Tracey - I second the designation of your grandfather as a true craftsman. That was not an easy task, making that table. It was crafted with style. Just the thought of placing the original cuts to make it drop from an oval to a circle and then expand once more make my head spin. Glad you're back to walking, just give yourself time, take it slowly.
As soon as Corey's up and around, I'll get some bread dough going. I hate having the mixer thumping while he's asleep. Want to make some for us for the week and some to freeze and bake Friday for the Saturday market. How many will just have to depend on how long I want to be covered with flour!
My May goals were to be lighter, be healthier and stick to a budget. I'm three and a half pounds lighter, no healthier and budgeting was thrown to the winds this month, so one of three. The goals will be the same for June, and hopefully, I'll get higher than 33 percent!
For those who are new, Barbie will post a link to a June thread at some time late in the day Pacific Time. Please look for that link, follow us to the new thread and be sure to bookmark it!
Regards,
Lisa in AR
ETA: For my U.S. brethren and sistren, please have a safe and happy Memorial Day. While I am a veteran, this day isn't to celebrate me or my living compatriots who served (that's Veterans' Day, in November). It is to remember and memorialize those who didn't return. However, you are more than allowed to be happy and to wish others a happy Memorial Day! After all, they served for you and yours. Enjoy your day.3 -

Menopause and some nasty medication have seen me stack the weight on so I am on a journey to try and curb the gain and look after myself into my later years. (Gawd that makes me sound ancient lol). I have two feline fur babies who I love to bits despite them driving me nuts.
Cheers and Hi, Al from Tas.
Hi ... from the southern end of the State. I'm also 54 with one feline fur baby.

Rori – (((REAL REAL BIG HUG))) I was very surprised to read that your husband was combative with Parkinson dementia. I was on a bowling league with a man who had Parkinson dementia and he was the sweetest person you’d ever want to know. I thought all people with Parkinson dementia were that way. Just a GLASS of red wine??? If I was going thru all you’re going thru, I’d probably wind up with the entire bottle or at least half of it. My heartfelt love is going out to you right now. Know that I’m in your pocket every day.

It likely depends on what part of the brain is affected.

We found that it was built July 15 1850 by, I think, my Great Great Grandfather. We were all done and Lauryn says, “That’s how I remember it”. Michaela puts her hands in the air and says “you can’t, it’s new”.
I then told her a story of how when her Mommy was a tiny baby about a week or two old I was changing her diaper on the table and she pooped on me all the way up my arm. She thought that was hilarious.
Anyway here are the pics:
Beautiful table!

Hi there, getting a wee bit chilly here in the deep south of Aus isn't it? I spent Sunday sliding around on snow and ice up on Cradle Mountain, stunning day but driving up was treacherous with ice all over the road. First official day of winter tomorrow, bring it on, I want to skiiiiiiii.1 -
Happy Monday! Day off work for Memorial Day. I should say, shop is closed. I have work to do. Apparently I need to sleep more. I took a 3 hour nap yesterday afternoon and still slept 8 1/2 hours last night. Me....I need to be selfish for taking care of me I think. I think it was Barbara who said it gets done, just slower. That statement is so true!
Rori, Beth, and Lisa I am adding my hugs, prayers, and warm thoughts. Rori- I am glad that you are getting to spend time with DH. That will mean lots to you down the road and I am sure it brings him peace too. I wish we had had that option when Steve's Mom passed. She would have been 77 today.
Welcome to the new ladies! You won't find a more supportive group of ladies, so check in often.
I should get started on something today. Have a great one!

Do you downhill or cross-country ski?0 -
I started out Cross country many years ago then got into ski patrol and started to telemark. I now do about 90% resort telemark so downhill but with free heels, 5% cross country on the skinny skis and 5% Alpine just because I have the gear and should use it. I rarely ski in Tas these days as the snow is so unreliable. I have three weeks booked at Falls Creek in Vic from the last week of July, I have fingers and toes crossed that I can actually go.
