More good news - after the roof bid coming in significantly lower than we expected, the insurance will very nearly support the entire cost of the roof without having to refinance. I just got off the phone with them. I've talked to more dang people in the last week than I've talked to in a year, I think. We're only a year and a half from paying the house off completely, so it was not our first choice of action.
And... I went out and weeded the herb garden for a half hour and came back in absolutely soaking wet with sweat. Something about these heart medications makes it where any effort gets an exaggerated reaction. I'm talking to my doc on Monday morning, and it will be one of many questions. If he can't answer them, I'll ask for a consult with a cardiologist. I think I will anyway. He needs to pocket his ego and send me to someone who specializes in the heart.
They're kinda walking on eggshells anyway - the VA pathologist is hitting the news again. He would make a diagnosis then forge the second signature necessary to file it so that no one could check his work--mostly to cover up his use of alcohol and drugs. According to the Washington Post: "When a team of outside pathologists reviewed almost 34,000 cases Levy had diagnosed since his hiring, they found that more than 3,000 had errors, 589 of them major mistakes that caused medical harm to veterans. At least 15 died." This guy was responsible for lab results for veterans all over the state of Arkansas. In January he was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison. It hardly seems enough. I'm lucky he was already caught before I got into the Arkansas VA system.
Cooled down enough to jump in the shower...
Later y'all,

Welcome ... to the new ladies!
Bicycling ... Just wanted to share with you all that my PT on my knee progressed to the point where I got on a stationary bike today for 5 minutes
That's about the extent of any bike riding I do!
Beth near Buffalo
After having had both knees replaced several years ago, and then finding out about 18 months ago that the left replacement has slipped out of place, the orthopedic surgeon gave me the option of a partial knee replacement, I said no thanks. He recommended I forgo the treadmill and use the stationary bike, hence the cycling now.

I love to grow iris in my yard. There may have been a few here when we moved in. Since then, I have acquired more when neighbours have thinned theirs and put a box of bulbs at the curb for anyone to take. Last year my dog walking friend and my husband each bought me iris bulbs as gifts. Those are the black and two tone ones that I posted. Last week in a fit of extravagance, I ordered seven more bulbs to plant next fall. Each is different--blue, black and red, black, red, purple and white. All have interesting names. Jake has gone to get Bessie after her dental appointment. Sasha and Bernie have been nervous all day with her gone.

Afternoon/ evening ladies
Back from dinner out with my gal pals had a nice time,didnt get to go with Jim for the walk through but he is just giddy with excitement..
So fun to see...
Had a couple of sugar free hard candys.. bad bad mistake 🙄 ill live to tell the story..
Havr to take Homer to vet in the am and will bring him over to spend the day.. Dan working 3-9 and he will take my car overnight..that way I dont have to go out at night to bring him home..
The girls had ice cream and i didnt have any,my tummy was bothering me and im not supposed to have it anyway.. when i went shopping i did buy some italian ice.. so if I want something cool I can have that.2 -
Barbara-thanks so much for sharing your perspective on retirement. Since I mentally made that decision Tuesday I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders. I have started mapping out the items I want to pull together (some of those items you just never seem to find the time for that will help the organization). By the end of the year we should be on a firm post-covid work plan and a good time to turn things over.
Lisa-that is incredible about the VA pathologist. You are fortunate he is gone. Makes me wonder though how many more like him may be out there impacting people’s health.
Rebecca-Athena does have a very expressive face!
Janetr-I did not realize knee replacements could slip out of place. Does it impede walking also? Just sounds uncomfortable to me. I have a fear that one of my hip replacements may dislocate (and I know that happens rarely) so I do try to follow the few precautions I have with them.
After a rainy, gloomy day here there was a break in the rain so I could get my walk in after work. Warming back up tomorrow with no rain. Was anticipating the weekend when I remember we have our Synod Assembly on line this weekend (I'm council president so I am rather obliged to attend). It starts tomorrow night at 7:45 and resumes Saturday morning at 9. Since it will mainly involve listening (with a few votes taken) I may keep some papers from work I need to sort handy and work on that some. Better than having the computer on and the tv!
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

This has been a good day for food shopping. We’re home and getting ready for fixing dinner.3

Did my dumbbell workout! And rode Henry today. My seat didn't feel secure but my instructor said I was fine. Henry had eaten too much clover and was drooling. It was really gross. Now I have a new image to curb my appetite!

Hey everyone! Such stress coming up in my world. Hoping I can stay focused. A co-worker is leaving so I'll need to do 2 jobs for a few months until someone is hired. Any tips? I am somewhat of a workaholic if I get behind, but not allowed to work overtime. I usually just work on the down low to try to stay caught up.
Ginger, Great! I am working on mindfulness to. I tried the fasting, but I just get hangry and irritable LOL
Tracey, I can relate! I was in IT before I retired and moved to HR. System implementations are so stressful and frustrating!
Hi Laura, I totally get this too. I start strong every time, but can't seem to stay consistent. We can do it!
Janet, health is such a blessing I totally agree, but Radiation wasn't that bad for me. I did 7 weeks after having breast cancer. Mine was M-F at 6:45 every morning and I went to work after it. I was very tired, but it was bearable. Everyone is different, but hopefully it will go well.
Hope everyone has a great night!2 -
Remember that couch I bought for $50 bucks. When we went to go see it there was a big yello stain right in the middle where I put the quilt. I like the way the quilt looked on it anyway and if I couldn’t get it out, oh well. Well, I got the stain out. I can’t believe it but I did. I still have the quilt over the top cuz I like the look.7

There is the loveseat. I found this chair for sale. They want .100 for both table and chair but I would only want the chair, do you think I should go for it????6 -
✳️✳️ ACCOUNTABILITY✳️✳️
✖️Day 9: Wednesday, June 2nd. 🛑 BINGE 🛑
It wasn’t too bad. But, I’m counting it because I was NOT hungry. I was frustrated by my inability to fall asleep - mostly due to twitchy legs. This happens on a rare occasion. I was really drowsy and ready for sleep. I couldn’t settle and get comfortable. I got out of bed and hit the kitchen for a cup of sleepy time tea. Then, a little out of control sweep thru snacks. I shut it down and got in a warm Epsom salt soaking bath. In hindsight - getting the bath earlier would’ve helped. I fasted that day so I’m sure that was a trigger.
➡️ I’m starting my streak count over. Today has been okay. I’ll report my success tomorrow.
PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION!

Pandemic - it ended for us last July. The last locally transmitted case was May 2020, over a year ago but they kept the shutdown for a little bit longer. For my husband and me, my working from home and having a break from the world was exactly what we needed.
March to July last year was the best few months I've had in several years.
Retirement - I'm 54 and ready to retire now. But I suspect I will have to keep going till 70.LifeILuvUFeelinGroovy wrote: »Hey everyone! Such stress coming up in my world. Hoping I can stay focused.

Prioritise.
Do the most important stuff and leave the rest. If questions are asked, tell the truth ... I'm doing 2 jobs so I'm prioritising. When you hire someone, we will catch up.
The trouble with taking on 2 jobs and doing it all is that it makes management think that they don't need to hire someone after all.

I am resting and happy to leave shopping alone for a day or three. I look forward to yoga tomorrow morning. 2
