Flea - for some reason I can't seem to edit my post, even tho it's been less than an hour.
Anyway..why don't we stay longer than a month? Because you can only have your mail held for 30 days. Then you have to have it forwarded.

Mail?
Just about everything here is online. We read the newspapers online. Bills are paid automatically. Most places who used to send magazines do it all online.
It's almost exciting when we do receive mail because it's relatively rare.

hope you feel better soon- when I have the funky stomach, I go with ginger tea or candied ginger- I do that often. Trying to figure out what causes it.

BETH I'm glad your leg is progressing. I'm sorry about your family's, behavior. You don't deserve that.
FLEA that sounds unpleasant for the wig. I can understand your not wanting to wear it.
VICKI happy anniversary!1 -
Well its 1:34 am i slept on and off most of the day yesterday ..i did get cold meds at the pharmacy and came back home..
I am not looking forward to having my place turned upside down for the better part of the week because it is only 1 guy doing the work and a helper..
I missed my dear friends 40th anniversary party but it couldnt be helped..i didn't want to get anyone sick..
Going to try and get the rest of the stuff done in the bedroom done today.. and still lay low.. drop off Alfie early tomorrow at Toms and then back into the chaos2 -
M – most everything (mail) is online. But there are still some things that come in the mail that you can’t get online. Admitted, not much..but there are some. I know that the tax bill for the condo comes only in the mail although we can pay it online (please don’t ask me to explain that). Same for another bill for the condo. I believe it’s the electric bill. Most of the bills for the house are online. We do see certain things in the paper for here online, just not the entire paper. But we do get a paper down there. Most of our medical test results.

I would wear a good quality mask while they are working and when you clean up after them.
MARGARET I'm sorry about that.That's a bummer about the paint and dust. `with all you have to worry about.
HEATHER was the tuna raw or cooked. (in sesame and wasabe that makes me think of sushi)
WONKY SLEEP
Thursday I slept only about 3h, Friday about 6, which is okay. then Saturday at about 7pm I could barely keep my eyes open. I fell asleep at maybe 7 or 8 woke at midnight and then on and off sleep. wide awake for much of the night. Oh well.
WONKY BELLY
I had a veggie bowl out - the seller told me it was rice but I'm not sure - looked like kasha - got wierd digestion after that ---

signed a lease w a new renter yesterday. his dad owns 3 or 4 rental appartments and I have never seen someone so thorough in inventory: every nick was mentioned (example the tiniest chip off plastic in inside of fridge doo, mush less than a square centimetre, noted...
So it took longer than usual.
But there is much upside.
I asked for only 1 months deposit but he offered 2 (the legal maximum) to be competitive in case I had someone with a better file.
He signed on oct 30 for move in stuff on that date, but only paid the rent from nov 1.
BUT he offered to fix a major joint problem in bottom of shower tiling, fix a wire to hold up the the corner of the L-shaped shower curtain rod, and reapply caulk all around kitchen faucet and counter. Worth 2 days of rent for sure!

30: Identify three things that give you hope for the future: nope, more focused on being grateful for the NOW.
31: Set a goal that brings a sense of purpose for the coming month: pending inspiration. The first few things that popped into mind had result in reducing sense of purpose (backing away from fire district, council)
Oops. I see my spoiler typo exposed you all to the rant. Sorry.
Machka “someplace safe” boy, does that sound familiar!
Allie sorry you’re suffering, glad you’re taking care of yourself. ((hugs))
KJ I think you are “truly an amazing and strong woman” just like Lanette, Machka, Barbie, Katla, Kylia, Margaret, Vicki, Annie, Rebecca and of course Rori, all you caregiving gals. You all set the bar high.
Rita imho there has to be a click of connection with a counselor to make a difference. Would your DH go to a couples counselor with you? I never thought Joe would, but when I left him for a week, he did, to save our marriage. Taught us some communication skills, opened our eyes a bit to each other’s perspective, made a huge difference in my life and his attitude. Wishing you both well.
Julie hope your new renter’s fix-it skills are the best!
Between pack walk and surprise beach stroll this afternoon, my knees and hips were screaming when I got home. Broke down and took an ibuprofen. Time to snooze.
Lighter, lovelies!

Julie - I cooked it lightly. In a frying pan. I like it rare in the middle, DH less so. (I had to put his back in the pan) It's a Gordon Ramsey recipe. The steaks were HUGE,! I've had my fish quota for a month!

Zwifting + weights and stretching + 2 hours of weeding!
I'll be lucky to be able to get out of bed tomorrow!
I want to find inexpensive gravel somewhere. I weeded most of the footpath and it needs work to shore up the base, but then it would be good to put gravel down.
In May 2018, there was a huge rainstorm - over 100 mm in just a few hours. The footpath turned into a waterfall and the dirt and everything ended up at the base of the stairs into the house. I shovelled a bunch of it back onto the path but it was pretty messed up. Recently we've had a number of heavy rainstorms and it's not in great shape.
We were at Bunnings (like Home Depot) today and gravel would end up being quite expensive from there.

Sorry about your DH ... I didn't realise he was in stage 4 cancer!

Hey all! Another rainy morning. I don't really mind the rain. We have needed it. It was an unusually dry and sunny summer; then October began and so did the rain. Unusually rainy month. Just a few degrees colder and it would be snow; which is much more to my liking.
Yesterday, I was going to do my cooking after I got the shopping done. But DH told me to just sit down and not over do it. lol So, I made out my calendars for the next two months of childcare, wrote out my newsletter to parents, and signed up for a 30 hour class on business management (begins in January). I feel very satisfied with the day. Today, I will make a couple of soups, a chicken salad for DH to nibble on, bake a couple of squashes for meals this week, laundry and clean house.
Beth- Thank you for the "soup" freezing idea! Definitely helpful!
Machka- Thank you for the menopause articles! Good info! I sent them to my DH, because we were just talking about menopause, due to the fact that he found me the other night, asleep in shorts and a tank top, no blankets, window wide open and it was 45 degrees outside. He covered me up and closed the window and I woke up enough to grumble at him. lol Like you, I entered perimenopause early (around 40) and I am very close to the end of it all, at age (almost) 55!
Heather- Your meals always sound so wonderful! Fair warning, if I ever get across the ocean to your area, I will be trying to get a reservation at Chez Heather! lol
Well, I better get moving. I find the longer I sit; the more likely my motivation leaves me and I get altogether too comfortable just sitting. Not good. ttfn xoxoxo Hugs to all who need them! KJ (Kelly)2 -
Tasmania had our wettest October since 1947. This was Hobart's third wettest October in 140 years of records.
https://www.weatherzone.com.au/news/tasmania-drying-out-after-very-wet-october-wettest-since-1947-in-hobart/535307
All that rain has put a damper on our outdoor activities. Hopefully November will have a bit better weather.

Kay ~ Happy Belated Birthday! I saw it on Facebook but don't remember it here!
Michele ~ How did your Halloween Party go?
It's been a rainy weekend here and a bit colder (50's). I guess my grands will go trick or treating this evening. My DH went crazy buying candy and we have never had a trick or treater. Guess he is stocked up for the next year. LOL

Carol - lovely photos,
I love your grandson's hair. Max has always had it short, but his best friends have all got luxuriant locks and he is thinking of growing his.
I've had a productive day. I usually take Sunday off, but it was such terrible weather this morning that I buckled down and emailed a local radio station and a local free magazine. Then I managed a new Instagram post this afternoon. I know some of you are following me - thank you. I go by heathereylesiam.
I was pleased with myself this morning as I managed to force myself back to sleep until normal getting up time. I was expecting to be pacing the house, but used my eye mask and ..... Voila! I am making cauliflower cheese for dinner. I've cooked the cauliflower and DH has grated a mountain of cheese! Now to make the sauce. I always add scallions, sun-dried tomatoes and top it with bacon pieces on the cheesy breadcrumbs. KJ....? Are you coming over?
Just hope I can stave off the hunger pangs until 6 pm.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

A close up of me in Paris in 1966. Note the Alice band and the trench coat I was soooo proud of. I thought I was a Left Bank bohemian. :laugh: :laugh:

Good Sunday and Happy Halloween,
Things getting done. Feels good. Have to head to grocery. Something about no milk, eggs, bread, cheese and a lot of other things is making my DH nervous. Planned on going yesterday, but was rainy and I wasn't feeling it. I have spent the morning doing paperwork for work, but only have about another hour to go as soon as one of the websites opens back up!
No trick or treaters at our country house. We would have plenty to give if we ever did!
Hugs!
Love!
Encouragement!

Michele – Do you and Vince both trust Jess and Colby to use your condo without you there? If so, go for it and let them use it. If not, invite them for a week or two while you’re there. You and Vince are the ones who need to make that decision.
Machka – HAPPY MENOPAUSE! Enjoy yourself and your new freedom. It might be stop and go for a bit. My mom called her periods “the curse.” I have enjoyed freedom from “the curse” for a long time. :flowerforyou:
(((Margaret))) – I hope the dust situation has ended and your DH can be more comfortable.
Barbara – Everyone should be able to rant once in a while. No apology necessary.
Allie - I hope you are able to fix your coffee table’s leg. Wonky legs can lead to unwanted spills. Tea cups are happier with a level surface.
Peach – Your grandchildren look like they are having fun carving their pumpkins.
Pip – I love your photos of the ocean and your pup, Yogi.
Heather – You were a beautiful girl in 1966, and you are a beautiful woman now.
The Oregon Ducks won their football game yesterday. Yay!!! DH and I both graduated from the University of Oregon. We loved it there. A job offer for DH in the Portland area prompted us to move back then.
This is the final day of Halloween Town for the year. Yay! It will be nice to have fewer cars parked everywhere tomorrow. :grumble: (at last)
We have a sunny morning and coffee. What could be better? :bigsmile:

Well i piled a bunch of stuff in the opposite corner of my room and will really have to go through all of the papers honestly im turning into my dad🙄
Other than that im basically picked up.. and i fixed the coffee table at least for now...
Going to make the guys lunch tomorrow and chocolate chip cookies,i figure if i feed them well they might take care of my beachwood wall where the patio door is.. because they plan on sawsalling the whole thing out and if the boards fall off im hoping they will fix them back up for me.. hence the food lol..
Im just hoping there is no rot anywhere which will make the whole process go alot quicker..

Did Jari Love Revved to the Max DVD then because it’s getting cold out rode the recumbent bike for 45 minutes.
After exercise went to Aldi. Was thinking that I’d need to go to WalMart also, but Aldi had most of the things I needed. I’ll probably go to WalMart maybe Tuesday after work.
Julie – you seem to have a good renter there
Rita – you’re only assuming that a therapist is going to tell you to leave your dh. You may be surprised, he/she might encourage you to go to a support group. You won’t know until you give it a try. If the therapist insists you leave dh, you can always leave that therapist.
KJ – I don’t know how I’d manage without my freezer! Honestly, at this point it’s stuffed. But if I can go to Aldi, they have gooooood grapes on sale, I’ll get some more and put them in the freezer. Hold a seat for me at Chez Heather!!!
Carol – I think everyone at the party enjoyed themselves...thanks for asking. As soon as I can, I’ll get some pics. Honestly, it was mostly younger people (50’s – 60’s) who were there. I guess a lot of the older people (70’s – 80’s) are concerned about indoor activities. Wish we had more “food” , tho. Oh well….
Made more chocolate bran muffins for me now have ribs in the oven at 275 for about 4 hours. I figure when Steve gets here we can have them one night. If the weather is nice, Vince can grill with the BBQ sauce. If not, I can use it in the broiler. I’m going to try making the potato puffs in the convection oven.
Had to trim the mats out of Lexi’s fur. My heart breaks that it was necessary. See, she was severely abused. Here’s a picture of when we first got her. I remember when they took the bandage off her. There was so much adhesive I just thought “how in the world are we going to clean her up”. You know, in the 13 years we’ve had her, we’ve never once had to give her a bath or cut out a mat. She was always so very fastidious. She would go into the litter box for a minute, then spend 5 minutes covering it up! You’d never know she had used the litter box. She always groomed herself real well.
But we’re sure she has dementia. She walks around the house with the “deer in the headlights” look as if she was saying “I need to use the litter box...but where is it?” She’s totally deaf. Many times she just can’t make it to the litter box or she forgets where it is. She spends most of her day sleeping. But as far as we can tell, she’s happy. It took her years before she could even “meow”. She had a dislocated hip and air leaking out of her trachia, which is why the SPCA seized her, she had been abused.
The sad thing is...we’re 99.9% sure it was the guy Denise married who abused her. He never admitted it and neither did Denise, but the SPCA told us that when they came to seize her, he threw Lexi against the wall.
So there’s a special place in our hearts for her. She’d been thru so much. When we first bought this house, we didn’t have any beds (except for ours) which was a blessing since she couldn’t jump up but the mattress was low enough to the ground that she could sleep with me.

Rita when you look for a therapist, you can lay down guidelines. I had one who wanted me to stay with my husband. I fired her and when I went looking for another I said right out I'm leaving my husband and I want you to support me through that process. It really helped me to have someone on my side to talk through the divorce issues. You have the support of all of us here, but you can't get too personal online. Best wishes for a safe journey for you.
