I went to the doctor with my parents yesterday. Mom was confused about where we were so it was strenuous for her and she talked about just quitting going to doctors. Today we have to see about refills on prescriptions and make appointments for tests. Her blood pressure is still high. Well, one step at a time.5

We are going to start looking in Midlothian.
Mind you Ros and I made the decision to move to Virginia. Mitch is coming along! LOL We will be looking for a house for all of us. A mother-in-law suite for Ros or split level with lower level set up for Ros (bedroom, living space, full bath). Not sure this is a possibility but we will look and decide.
I have loved Virginia ever since my older brother and his wife set up home there when I was a senior in high school. I then attended UVA and met Mitch there and continued to love it there. Visiting Ros the 2 years she lived there just further set my desire in motion to end up there at some point in time. My niece and her family live in Powhatan and my other niece lives in northern Virginia with my brother in Suffolk!
I'll be seeing ya soon enough Karen!!
Cheri
Welcome home, Cheri. I am beyond excited!

Cheri – Congratulations on your DH’s retirement and your upcoming move to Virginia.
Pip – Great photo of Kirby and Yogi on the beach. Where was the photo taken? Do I see tall evergreens and palm trees in the same area? It looks like you’re having a good time.
I have Physical Therapy this morning on my left knee. I tripped on concrete steps and fell on it. I’m a bit nervous about the physical therapy today. I’ve never had PT before. I was referred by my doctor and set up for two therapy sessions. The first is this morning and the second is on November 11. After that, we fly off to Virginia to visit our son and his family. They are getting ready for a new baby. :bigsmile:

Maybe it WAS the sauerkraut, down 3.3 lbs yesterday.
Heather con VERY grats on Hovarian Author of the Month. Going outside your comfort zone earned a reward that will bear many dividends. Including “Well I NEVER” to BBC Sussex Radio interviewer? Brilliant!
Welcome @DisneyBound22 Dis in WI. Yes to those goals. It’s what you do every day that counts.
Julie, sounds like you need a break. Take whatever you need, a walk, a nap, a look at what you’ve already accomplished. Always easier to re-start after a refresh.
Rori ((hugs)) At that favorite restaurant, hope any tears that flow are gentle.
Katla and pip, figured out what to do with the Halloween candy, bought but definitely not needed. Drop if off at the firehall, those young’uns can burn it off :laugh:
Welcome @socialdogmom Annie in SoCal, and congratulations on being on track 55 days in a row. VERY well done. Tell us about your social dog?
The very happiest of birthdays to you Mary from AZ/MN. And boy, that husband of yours is a keeper!
Vicki hope you have the magic words to get those two to work well together. Everyone deserves a conducive, supportive, positive and safe work environment.
Flea, do you find continuing to work burdensome, or a welcome distraction, or ? Prayers for the 12th and thereafter.
Carol did same as you about Heather’s book, and for the same reason. ;}
Sue in WA Safe travels.
Wow Cheri, congratulations! Good hunting!
Allie you sure know how to treat installers right! Seems like your board would better serve the community by finding ways to help their disabled residents, like to move heavy things, rather than be in haste to fine/reprimand. Praying they have a change of heart.
Welcome @Natalie2950 Natalie in Belfast! Con very grats for two weeks on track.
Machka the November prayers. Resting grouchy face and Sheldon Cooper when beaming=snorted water all over the desk. Thanks! I resemble those remarks. :rotflmao:
Tracey hope your friend’s truck had heat… and music. Love the poster’s sense of humor.
Kay con VERY gratulations on your metabolic reboot success!
KJ with all that water, water, water, you’ll be walk, walk, running to the lav more and more every day
Annie in DE did the Dr. notice your mom’s confusion? Will s/he consult with you privately?
Kim, excel formulas are my friends
A question for all you dog lovers out there. Our Shadow has a persistent lick granuloma. We have an appointment with a vet next week, hope there is an underlying something that he can find and fix. Meanwhile she lives in the ComfyCone which makes us sad. Joe saw me send Shadow to her “cave!” for breakfast, as I do every day. He asked why, since I could train her so well to cave/sit/down/stay/come/play chase, I couldn’t train her not to lick her ankle. I have no clue how to do this. Any suggestions?
Lighter, lovelies!

Barbara, we talked to the doctor about my mom's confusion and memory decline. She is headed for a memory evaluation, but first she needs some blood labs done and a CT scan of her head. She took her blood pressure this morning, but by the time we found the book to write it down we had both forgotten the number! Next she has to take a half pill with lunch. There's always something. It's not easy getting old!

Barbara ... I have used harissa in this recipe from the SimplyRecipes website. My family enjoyed it and you could easily adapt it. https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/sheet_pan_harissa_chicken_with_carrots_and_cauliflower/
Barbie ... thank you for the new month
I have not been paying much attention to my goals the past two months. I do believe I've lost about 10 pounds, but Halloween was not my friend. Too much candy in the house. November's goals are to get back on my feet ... literally. By the end of the month I am to be at 100% weight bearing. I'm hoping more natural movement will help with the overall health goal of losing more weight and eating healthier. I spend way too much time right now looking at food websites. Also want to stay on budget, particularly as it pertains to groceries. My guys have been shopping and doing the best they can, but you know I do better! Since it may still be a while until I'm cleared to do stairs, I'm asking that they take photos of the food in my pantries and freezer in the basement. I'd like to use up what's been there for a while. Grocery inflation is real in my neck of the woods.
It was snowing this morning ...

Thanks for the Birthday wishes
Lisa thanks! He even got down on one knee! Just like you and other ladies on here I found a wonderful man.
Today I am going to have a major cheat day! Starting with breakfast and French Silk pie, then a movie, dinner and Bingo to finish off the day

Yesterday was a great day, eating wise! Love my ramen bowl, and I seem to be putting all my meals into it, from stews, to soups, to pasta and rice meals. Yesterday I cubed 2 smallish yellow potatoes and 1/4 red onion and roasted in the oven with some of the oil from a jar of marinated artichoke hearts. Then I sauteed some Kielbasa sausage with 2 cubes of my chicken broth, and some diced tomatoes. Before I mixed the oven stuff with the pan stuff, I threw in a handful of fresh spinach. The bowl was hefty, but it was glorious!
Today on a whim, I tried on my "honesty pants" (pants you have and hope to get into one day). I had bought a size lower than what my pants are now. So I'm happy to announce that I am officially a size 1X (16-18), and not a 2X (20-22)!! Granted they're stretchy jeans, and a bit snug, but still very comfortable! Now I need more 1X's!! So happy!

Brought in most of the Halloween decorations. The inflatables should dry pretty quickly since we really didn’t have any significant rain since we put them up. On the other side...the ground was so hard that Vince had to use a crowbar to get one of the stakes up.
Did my usual when giving out Halloween candy so I’m not tempted. Popped ½ cup of air popped popcorn
Barbara – we got Lexi shortly after we bought the house, so she’s been here for 13 years.
Yea Heather for being author of the month. You are going places with the interview
Welcome back everyone coming back!
M - YIKES the gas prices
At work today they asked me if I would like some grits and livermush. YUK!! I’ve never had livermush and don’t intend to ever have it
Rebecca – I just saw on facebook that PJ is in a toddler bed. I’m wondering if they’re not trying to rush things?
Katla – there is no way we’re getting new phones yet! Our old ones work, and that’s what’s important.
Carol – hope the eye heals quickly. Sorry you didn’t get the meds early enough
Mary – congrats and happy birthday
Cheri – wow! Lots of upheaval in your life. Where in VA will be be moving to – do you know?
Natalie – welcome! Tell us a bit more about yourself.
Tuesday here: after work went to Food Lion for milk then went with Vince for his allergy shot, stopped at the Salvation Army then WalMart. They didn’t have the ice cream Steve likes (I thought for sure they would) so had to go back to Food Lion. Was talking to the woman who hired me there and told her how happy I was and for one thing that to a certain extent I can make my own hours. Like in a few weeks I have a MD appt so I can go in at 5:30 to do my work. The important thing is that it gets done. Another day I have a fasting blood test to go to so I can go in at 7:30. As long as the work is done. She was saying how they (FL) don’t have that luxury and some people will take advantage. Yes, but a good manager would see who is taking advantage and have a talking to with them. Ceramics tonight
katie – I’m in awe. Good for you!
Katla – thinking of you at your PT
Rinsed out my BK shirt. It was starting to smell like BK. Really, normally I’m only there about 3 to 4 hours, I could probably go a few more days before washing it out. However, with that smell…..
Rebecca – before we know it, we won’t even find you!!!!
Going to help Vince take in the Halloween lights.
