Good morning!2

Just finished ringing my friend whose partner died on the 19th. I've been taking all of your advice from this thread and I've been texting her a little message of love and support every day. I asked her yesterday if it was OK to ring her at 1.30, so that's what I did.
Mainly just let her talk, but I think it was good for her.
He died of an aortic aneurysm. While making her breakfast.
Let us value those we love while we have them.
She has just sent me a video of him dancing the night before.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx7 -

Hi Ladies,
I've enjoyed following you all over the Christmas holiday. Ours was uneventful. We were supposed to go out of town, but we are being pummeled with rain all over the state. We decided to sit inside and watch and listen to the rain at home, rather than pay for a hotel and do the same thing elsewhere. Instead, we watched the first 3 Matrix movies (I still don't know what they're about) and had a dinner out at a nice restaurant on Christmas. I had an invite to a friend's (the closest to a family I have here) for Christmas Eve, but opted out. I found out yesterday that his son tested positive for COVID on Sunday. Whew!
My sister also has COVID, as does her boyfriend and my niece. They found out just before the family gatherings, which was good.
On a more fun note, we saw the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit. It was very nice and creative.
I'm still struggling to fit comfortably in my pants. I don't know what else I can do. I've even mostly given up beer and wine! That's a true sacrifice.
Have a warm day.

Well back from the cardiologist, gee I really like him so very much he has such a great sense of humor always making me laugh...took me off one of my meds yipee..go back in 6 months.. other than being overweight he is very happy heartwise..
He was pleased I got a smart watch and i showed him on the phone the ekg readout from this morning.. they do a normal one anyway.. but he said thats great he said if it reads zero than call me 😄
Pick up the kid in a couple hours and we go get our hair done.
Love this picture of Yogi..5 -
Michele – I love green beans and/or broccoli. Green-salad is also a favorite here.
Rori – I hope your travels bring you good times. Beginning the year with a trip to San Diego to celebrate January birthdays with your sister’s family is a good beginning. If you eventually head to Oregon as the year progresses, you would be welcome here.
Barbara – We are living in a winter wonderland--mostly staying inside and looking out the windows. Luckily, we had a good shopping trip the other day and aren’t likely to starve any time soon.
Terri – We have also managed to enjoy Christmas although our family is far away. I enjoyed a zoom chat with our daughter yesterday. She knows that I’m searching for a puppy and had good stories about getting her most recent dog. I enjoyed every minute of the chat. We live in Oregon, our daughter lives in Illinois, and our son lives in Virginia. I thank the Good Lord for inspiring someone to invent the internet.
Heather – Ringing your friend whose partner died was a wonderful thing to do. Texting her messages of love and support is brilliant. You are right, we should value those we love while we have them.
1948CWB – Your granddaughter’s art is wonderful!
Tina in CA – Congrats on a balmy 53F degree day. Enjoy every minute.
Allie - Good news from the cardiologist!
We have snow on the ground and it is lovely to see. The neighborhood heron is standing on the docks looking for a little fish to swim by. It is having no luck that I can see so far this morning.

January is coming so fast! I’ve already decided that my biggest goal/ resolution is to quit drinking alcohol. I’ll update my 20 list in the near future. For 2020 I made a 20 for 20 list of goals to achieve throughout the year and did 21 for this past year. When I update the list, it will be at least 20. This really helps me. The spoiler has a copy of last year’s list if you’d like ideas.21 GOALS for 2021

Tracey--I heard one time that people know what we look like and they want us to be part of the pictures, so since that time I have let my picture be taken.
Barbara--That was a red skirt. She has a lot of dresses and bows. She is our oldest granddaughter's and a Blessings. They have 3 boys and very much wanted a girl to finish their family. . She and her mom share my middle name Leigh.
Terri--Thanks for sharing the pictures. Good looking group you have.
Rori--Good picture of you and Mars. I hope your travel plans work out.
Allie--Glad your cardiologist appointment went well.
Winter is on it's way here. Really cold and windy today. Glad I am working inside. Sounds like we could get a major snow this weekend. I hope it waits until Saturday night as having our christmas with youngest son New Year's eve and with oldest son and grandchildren and families on Saturday at their new house which is 10 miles outside of town.
Today was last weigh in for the year. This month I am up 1.4 pounds, which it could of been so much worse the way I have been eating. Since Jan 5, 2021 I am down 25.3 pounds. So on to the new year. I did get to the gym yesterday after work and upped my time on the newstep bike. Also did hand weights. My goal is at least 3 days a week.

Well my dad figured out how to make the fridge warmer so the veggies don't freeze. One step closer to my new salad days! My clothes are getting snug too. I'm afraid to step on the scale. Maybe I can get a couple of good diet days in by Friday, my weigh-in day. Always tempting to binge and purge instead of building the steady habits that are really the key to this battle.
My yoga left me just a little sore in spots. I think 3x a week will suit me better than daily. I wish I had a jacuzzi for recovery days!
My writing is going well. My detective/ leading man needed a quirk so I made him a champion bridge player. Sort of old-fashioned but it fits him.
I have a pot roast simmering for my parents. Life is good.

Katie - your mother did a beautiful job!
Machka - I hadn’t thought about not having something to look forward to with the long nights not around Christmas, I think Christmas lights helps us Canadians get through.
Debbie - I wish you could have a happy Christmas without drama.
DH has taken over the tv all day and I’m a little frustrated, I think I’ll go take a bath and maybe lay on the bed after to watch something. I hate watching it in bed as I find it painful due to the way I gave to lay to see it. Tomorrow I will ask him to go to the bedroom. The World Juniors are on, Canada isn’t even playing today.

It is currently -36 but supposed to warm up to -26 by 8am.
Thank you Tracey!!
I would really love that too. Maybe next year.0 -
We are still cold and snowy here. I had to carry hot water out to thaw animal waters again this morning. I got really chilled this morning and am currently in my sitting room with blankets and the dog on my lap trying to get warm again. DD made it into work today.
Rori - I am headed to San Diego the first weekend in February to celebrate my January birthday. I hope it will be warm and sunny while we are there.
Michelle - So sad you do not get to see the DGC for holidays.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA2 -

Happy Tuesday ladies! I threw together a frittata today. 3 eggs, some milk then added a cut up baked potato(skin), fried up a brat, a handful of sausage bits and a handful of rough cut fresh spinach. Mixed it together in the cast iron pan. Added cheese. It was delightful! I was over 1200 calories, but it will keep me full!💖👍

We are enjoying a snow fall. It is lovely to see, and we’re warm and cozy in the house. The hummingbirds have been visiting our sugar water feeders. Luckily the feeders are attached to the windows, and keeping warm enough for the birds to get their sugar water. 1
