This is my food diary including seeds (to increase my protein a little bit) ...
Today, I have also walked 3.45 km with plans for a short walk after work.
And I've hiked 18 flights with plans for another 10 this afternoon (Total 28 flights = 560 individual stairs up, and that again down, plus a few steps on each landing)

Machka - I love that beginner meme. My DDIL has encouraged the kids to go along with that and I find it a great attitude. Sometimes they'll say, "I'm not very good yet, but I'm only learning."
It's an attitude I have tried to develop as an adult and I'm getting much better. It's especially useful for learning languages!
Flea - Your medical team sounds great. Lean on their support and suggestions.
Sending lots of love through the ether.
DH seemed pretty sanguine when he was dropped off back home. My son took it very hard.
Silent during the drive home.
Max couldn't watch the penalties. He had to go and sit on the stairs with his book.
Edie adored having DH there. She kept him company the whole way through. When they told the kids, just before he arrived, that a special guest was coming, she said "It's Johnny!" straight away. He found her company very soothing as she chattered away.
Oh well. The last time England won a major football competition was 1966. I remember it well. I was 16. I could still tell you the names of most of the team!
Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Jump back July:
10-Reach out to someone you trust and share your feelings with them: all you wonderful gals here.
11-Look for something positive in a difficult sitiuation: receiving those patience lessons, yes, again.
12-Write your worries down and save them for a specific “worry time”: I hesitate to write my worries down as I feel it gives them reality.
Heather “If you can…” ROTLMAO! Brilliant idea for Johnny to zoom watch the match with the grands. Even better news about the negative tests and in person viewing. Love the poem
Julie we live half a mile up a dirt road that winds up and down along the edge of steep ravines, so need all wheel drive. In the winter we put on studded tires in case we need to go through the snowy/icy mountains to Medford. At less than 5’, and shortwaisted, I like to sit up high to see over the hood It’s not a pressing need, my 2014 Escape works just fine, I’m simply not in love with it and would like something else, perhaps a Toyota 4runner or a GMC Denali for longevity/reliability. No trouble adding food to yesterday’s diary from my iphone, unfortunately
Machka ((hugs)) such a hard balancing act to encourage his independence yet set boundaries for your own health. ((hugs))

Welcome @frespirit57 and @khalsey3737! Would you let us know what to call you and your general locale?

Kylia sneakers in snake country? Oh no!
Rebecca safe travels!
Home: peek at the ocean down the powerline easement

Here is today's quote regarding not needing more 'stuff' in our lives. I know a lot of you are trying to declutter.
That's me!
(Sorry, not comparing myself to Socrates)
I have several imaginary houses where my imaginary stuff goes beautifully.

Cleaning
The painter is here to paint bathroom after water damage long ago. it's covered by insurance.
He's very grouchy. it's not ideal and I guess he's going to be here for a very long afternoon.

First day for new cleaner this afternoon. I've made a list of priorities, based on the areas our guests will see at the weekend.
She seemed very nice when she came round for the assessment. Every cleaner is different. They each have their own "funny little ways".

Home : my comfort place
Garden : I can see it from my desk window and it gives me joy and peace
Neighborhood : absolutely the best anywhere, we're family3 -
Allie —I am happy you got through the sleep study.
Kylia —Happy refrigerator shopping. A 21 year old refrigerator is amazing. I hope you find one that fits. :flowerforyou:
Heather —I hope the new cleaner is a keeper. We have ours on standby while we get kitchen sorted out. Our refrigerator and stove are fine, but the microwave and oven set need to be replaced. We’re on a wait list for the installer to come and take out the old and install the new. :ohwell:
Minicooper452 —Home is our comfort place, too. We have a wonderful view and good neighbors. My garden is tiny. I grow blueberries, herbs, and have a small tomato plant that is covered with green tomatoes. I use a drip system on a timer that turns on the water twice a day, first thing in the morning and mid-afternoon. So far, the garden is doing fine. :bigsmile:
I am having fun knitting a baby blanket for our future grandson. He is due to be born in October or November.

totally agree about the "funny little ways".
CLEANERI just asked concierge if he knew someone. he's going to send by a contact of his who lives very nearby on the morning of Bastil day to meet. I haven't had a cleaner since my last one did a now show around xmas time. (she said she was staying and wanted to work since she didn't have much work, but didn't show nor answer till after her company posted a new ad for the job. her company said it's not the 1st time she didn't show. One thing I liked about her is she really liked natural materials as much as possible (vinegar etc). It was so much easier with Rita, I think partly because she lived right nearby, like this one: 5 or 10 min by foot. Another one tried after the last one came 30 min late and did NOT want to clean the floors. She was very new to the company and I think she was not made for housecleaning (which I can understand!).ADMIN ASSISTANT
I'm managing at present, but it would be better to have someone to help at least sometimes. I just don't have the juice I had pre-50 years old, when I couldn't bear to have a cleaner. When I have juice I needed to catch up with other stuff.I also called the "secretarial assistant place" too, and hopefully they'll send me someone too. the previous ones would bring their own laptop and would with 10 fingers. the last one didn't have a laptop, and could only type with 2 fingers and I felt like I had to keep re-explaining things. it was better than nothing I guess, but just barely and didn't really work so well for the price. (38 euros an hour). All this to help me get over the hump to finish my writing this year. I'm way behind in paperwork. Someone on top of this sort of thing, can do some of it on their own and leave me to do the rest.1 -

Cleaning CHECK1 -
Cleaner worked out fine. Not perfect, but good enough and I like her. The list of things to leave out was about right. The coming visit has made me tidy up the spare guest room and I moved a nice ceramic bowl to the dining room. I now have a couple of large duvets with no obvious home at the moment, but I will figure it out.
Now to organise the online payment.
Veal escalopes, roasted cauliflower and mushroom sauce for dinner. AF red wine.

Barbara - Michaela bought her little chair at a yard sale for 3.00.
Carol- my DH and I are the same. We eat in front of the tv most nights. It works for us too. I just don’t have the energy for it all anymore. I really dislike cooking too.
Rita - I think it shows promise that your DH is trying. I think it’s a long hard road to recovery from what I’ve witnessed over the years.
I was in that situation very very early in life. I was engaged to him when I realized the partying we did as teens was getting to be a daily habit. I broke it off. He is now a full blown alcoholic. My husband doesn’t drink unless it’s socially, which is very rare. His Dad drank too much and ruined too many special occasions for him.
Heather - I am so happy for your husband.
Barbara - my brother is a mechanic and he swears by Toyota. My Son in law’s mom is on her third one she just keeps reading them in every few years for the newer model.
I have been reading along but with the Grands here I have been busy. The Grands and I left Saturday around 1pm and went to their Aunt’s for the night. It was fun but we were all exhausted coming home yesterday.
The Grands go home today and I go back to work tomorrow. We will be having a cleaning party this afternoon before their parents arrive.
I will be having a very early bedtime tonight I think.

Ok, you know the beer I said I bought after buying clothes yesterday? Well the first bottle I gulped because I was thirsty, and the second I nursed watching tv with husband, aaand the third I opened when I made myself a plate of dinner. Everything is a blur after that. 🙃😕😋😁I'm such a boob. But I kind of remember stirring a bit when husband asked me if I wanted to go to the gym this morning, but I waved him away. Well the other three beers I put down in the soda and waters area, low away from view. I am good to not drink them for a couple months. Being that they're not cold, I am not tempted. So what DID Rebecca learn from this? Well, beer goes down way too easy when you're thirsty. Better to gulp water! Don't sip on a beer whilst cooking!!! The end.

Flea--Sending HUGS and PRAYERS.
HOME-I really feel our home is a gift from God. Only way I can explain how we got it at the time. And while sometimes I wish is was larger, it has everything we need.
GARDEN--I have a rock garden and I love adding things that fit our lifestyle
NEIGHBORHOOD--Our block kind of looks out for each other. I enjoy seeing what they are doing in their yard and I try and welcome new people when they move in. We have a rental house right next door on one side. Everyone else owns their home.
Been an interesting morning so far. Called the doctor's office first thing this morning to talk about why my blood count is down again. So I go in Wednesday and they are going to test for myelodyspastic syndrome. I have been reading on it and it is very treatable when caught early. My mom had this. It would explain so much. Not excited about it, but would be nice to have a name and treatment, not just worry every time the blood count goes down.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND NE 7 -
Afternoon ladies
Here i am again
Flea- im sending healing prayers and best wishes ,hoping that the outcome with an awesome dr ,will keep you going for many years to come..
Just got off the phone with my brother...
Lord honestly i love the man,but he was on me about flapping my gums to everyone.. i didnt think I did,but I guess i said some things that got Jean upset,so he said what he says to me is in confidence.. ohhhh k
Now that I have Jean blocked ,wont be so much lets just say annoyance..
I brought Dan to work and i asked if he had alternative plans and he has been talking to friends at work and will get rides from them,he asked if i could still bring him on weds,and i told him speak with the manager to get your hours changed to something that accommodates your schedule...I think he knows he has to get on with things on his own..and I should have done it a long time ago...
I had to take a couple of little naps today i was tired ...but feeling much better now.4 -
Good morning from Miso and Tonashi
emptied the dehydrator and filled it back up- seven racks of pineapple and one of plums
Have one more pineapple to do tomorrow- I will make them ginger infused
Then more apples- everyone loved them- so crunchy with a slight dusting of cinnamon sugar.
I may try some pears.
Husband, son and dh's friends went out to lunch then going to the movies. They may or may not be back by the time I leave at 6 for Zumba. I will have a snack before going or late lunch and snack when I get home-
Haven't eaten yet(except a few slices of the apples and mango to try them) and my tea.

Awe cute sweet cat's Debbie! I love to see happy, contented cats. They really are social creatures, and do better in sets of 2 or three. 👍
